Why Socks?

If you look through the making off section you may discover the words “A product similar to oil - the socks” I wanted a take on the tale of where the socks go and the idea of a society using the socks for some means like oil, and driven towards sock hunting really appealed.

I like the similarities towards real life, and although I kept the societal structure of sock hunting, it changed to be the sock herders who needed them. A motive for building the trap doors to the under beds.
