Narrative:
I was inbound to land. Approach said go to pattern altitude 2200 ft, expect right base for runway 28. Report airport in sight. I reported airport, changed frequency to CTAF and they repeated right base for runway 28. I was confused, set up for runway 21 on right base, turned and landed. As I got about 100 ft off ground and 1/4 mi to runway I realized my mistake, but I was too low to go to runway 28. I looked for traffic, continued my landing on runway 21, crossing runway 28. In my confusion, I failed to pull any flaps until the last 1000 ft of runway. I ran off the end into the grass (40 ft). No damage. No injuries. I was told to phone the tower. I did and answered all their questions. I proceeded on with the photo flight later with passenger and flew back to eky and informed the FBO who owned the plane. Runways 28 and 21 confused me. I need to pay attention.
