Baby's Feet (a short play of embarrassment)

(Setting: Pilates Class. Wednesday Morning. An Elderly Woman walks up to me.)

 WOMAN: You have beautiful feet

 ME: ....hhhhhthanks.

 WOMAN: They're like a baby's feet.

 ME: (*welp, that unsolicited 'compliment' is gonna burn*)....mmmm...


 WOMAN: So smooth...

 ME: (*Doors opening. Basement floor: Hell*)...ah....

 WOMAN: Beautiful

 ME: (*what man doesn't like their body being compared to a baby's?!*)...

 (Me dies. Slowly. Lights fade.)
THE END
