The foot burns.

The foot watches jealously as its counterpart is pedicured... a covetous, baleful malcontent.

the foot strikes

The foot strikes when you least expect it, such as when you are hobbling down a hallway on your crutches at your eye doctor's office, and suddenly you fall down, landing on the broken foot and causing a horrible scene that results in your eye doctor's staff having to push you around the office on an office chair with wheels while you try to pretend that you are not a ridiculous person.

The foot laughs a sinister laugh and goes back to lying in wait again.

the foot rebels at night

At night, the foot becomes a monster -- larger, and a bully. A swollen mass of malevolence. At night it yearns for Poe.

the foot does not like...

most things.

the foot has a dream

... that someday it will again take a shower standing up.
