* HighHeelHurt. Zigzagged. Opens with a young woman leaving work for a date, changing her hairstyle and swapping her flats for high-heeled shoes she had in her oversized bag as she hurries down the sidewalk. A few steps after she gets them on, one heel catches in a subway grate, inertia propels her forward, she loses her balance and crashes through the display window of an art gallery, and a very large painting lands on her, knocking her out. She dies when a sharp piece of glass falls, severing an artery.
