In the beginning, it was just a pile of socks. A mountainous, towering, and slightly disorganized mess. The Sock Oracle, a wise and venerable sage, gazed upon the socks with an unblinking stare. "Ah ha!" she cried, "These socks shall not be still! They shall be organized, they shall be mighty, they shall conquer the land!"
And so, the Sock Empire was born. The Sock Oracle decreed the laws of sockdom, which were many and wondrous. Socks of all colors and sizes were gathered and sorted, each with its own unique purpose and destiny.
