A Few Brief Words in My Defense

There I stand, the only red in an entire ocean of navy blue. I wondered at first why everyone seemed to look in my direction. I wondered what I had done to merit such looks of confusion.

Next time I might consider either wearing blue or simply staying indoors in order to avoid being roasted alive by the heat of human eyes.

Probably not.
