They were footwear. Enormous footwear. Reaching back into the car he removed his emergency flash light out of the glove compartment.
As he shown the light around Scott noticed that they were also not in the best of shape. Though they varied from Shoes to flip flops every single one of them showed signs of wear and tear. Some worst than others. Then there was the smell. The distinctive odor of human foot sweat was everywhere.
If this was a dream, it was the most vivid one he'd ever had.
