As the last remaining socks went missing, the world as we knew it came to an end. The Sock Drawer, once a bastion of warmth and comfort, lay in shambles.
Reports of lone socks, sans partner, roaming the streets, seeking their missing halves, have flooded social media and emergency services.
The Sock Economy, already on the brink of collapse, has ground to a halt. The Sock Industrial Complex, a behemoth of an industry, has been reduced to a mere shadow of its former self.
As the world teeters on the edge of chaos, one thing is clear: the Sock Drawer will never be the same again.
