"Sockless and vulnerable." IDK why but this sounds funny to me…

A teaser? Wow. In all honesty, I would've thought it was complete – it does have an open end, a sense of mystery, but I like that about one-shots. Hm. Seems I'm weird. Nothing new there. *coughs* Sorry, got distracted.

Anyway, really nice job, I especially love how you're including those flashbacks into the present events, it definitely fits!

Thank you for sharing! :)
