The Shoe Fortress

Wah! My dramatic breakthrough under the front door was stalled by a barricade of giant shoes! Lined up right on the ribbed rubber doormat like monolithic competitors, they dared to mock my passage. Suspicious! Was this an ambush arranged by envious rivals? I leaped straight onto the toe box of a hefty brown leather boot, scaling its tangled laces with theatrical fury. At the summit, I dug deep into the cavernous opening and dragged out a glossy plastic shoehorn. A magnificent victory baton! brandishing it overhead with a sharp cackle, I claimed the entire footwear fleet under the hallway light!
