Sunglasses

[ewx]

A few days ago I lost my sunglasses. I knew I still had them when locking up my bike, and that I didn’t have them when I went outside a few hours later, but they weren’t in their usual location in the pocket on the front of my jacket and there was no sign of them on the floor or ground anywhere I’d been in the intervening time.

I did without for a couple of days, which wasn’t exactly ideal with the sun reflecting off snow or damp roads.

Then:

The string had, evidently, caught on the latch and hoiked them out of my pocket, all without my noticing, and then hung there for several days (i.e. without anyone else noticing either).
