Blue Suede Shoes Remnant

A torn strip of blue suede, its nap matted and threads unraveling, represents the sole survivable fragment of Keillor’s expensive footwear after Gavrok’s disintegration weapon vaporizes the mercenary. The scrap lies crumpled on the laundry-store counter, its once-polished surface now grey with dust from the disintegrated man’s remains. Ray’s horrified stare locks onto it as she kneels beside The Doctor, the object’s surreal fragility underscoring the sudden brutality of Gavrok’s display.
