Broken Shoes

I had made a short film that had gotten into a festival, and I had to travel down to Busan from Seoul on the fast train – super expensive. I was looking good, wearing cool clothes, including a pair of leather shoes I had thrifted. Bad mistake.
By the time I left the subway in Busan and walked 100 meters towards the theatre (where I was due to give a speech), the top of one of the shoes was starting to flap. I managed to hook my big toe over it to hold it down, but the sides were now lifting up. People I was passing were starting to notice as it looked like I had a club foot. In the end, I had to take the shoe off and throw it away.
