How timely - I just got back (Europe to USA) and was staring at my swollen ankles wondering... if I got up 6 times during my 8 hour flight, walked around, stretched, drank plenty of water (1.5 liters), AND my ankles looked like marshmallow...what did everybody else (who didn't get up even once) look and feel like. Excellent post, Luke! The writing, the cliffhanger ending but most of all the relevance - signs everywhere, some we read, some we don't, some we follow, some we don't...and the nagging, what if I had paid/not-paid attention to them. Thanks for sharing your clever writing!
I felt the same way on my last flight, being the guy who's always wandering up and down the aisle, which I've always found gives you a weird teacher-like perspective on everyone else in the plane.
And yet, I had to take my shoes off out of necessity. Maybe that was a sign?
