1. Three sets of footprints, none the same depth
2. One argument about ice cream, resolved by proximity to ice cream
3. The wind's opinion, delivered sideways
4. A cloud shaped like a question no one asked
5. Thirteen thousand, one hundred and forty-nine almost-decisions to keep walking
6. The smallest one's shoe, untied again
7. Salt on every exposed surface including the conversation
8. One perfect sentence spoken by a six-year-old, immediately forgotten
9. The exact colour the water turns when it stops pretending to be blue
10. Sunday β that particular Sunday β which will not exist again
