The shoes
They say shoes
can change your life.
Geraldine didn't
know if that was true or not, but she had to try.
She looked at
them from every angle. Ordinary…well ordinary-ish. Silver, glittery, high, oh
so high, and calling to her.
You said you wanted to fly. You're ready to
come to me. It's time.
Slowly, almost without breathing, she slipped
her feet into them and stood for a second, to get her balance.
His voice
surrounded her. Soft as a summer breeze, enticing as a the scent of spring
flowers, it called to her, helped her walk toward…
Look down love. Look down and believe.
She did as she
was told.
The tiny wings
unfurled from each shoe and she rose into the upward, as graceful as any
dancer.
The air danced
and rainbows shimmered as she flew.
"I'm
coming."
Ahead of her the
sky darkened, but she wasn't scared. It welcomed her, welcomed her home and to
where he was waiting.
It was their
time.
Lightening split
the sky, and those tiny wings beat ever faster.
Hurry, hurry love, get here to me. Let's
show them who we are.
The lightening
hit her and she screamed.
"I will succeed…I…"

That tease actually gave me gooseflesh!!! I kid you NOT!! This was a sole-full teaser and I just loved it. The very first time I was "lost" as a child, my Mother walked to the closest shoe store and found me. It has been a love affair ever since, and you gave that love a jolt. I loved this tearse, just loved it:) xo
ReplyDeleteAlways surprising, always tantalizingly descriptive. You have a glorious imagination, Raven. Keep exercising it. Those shoes - seriously, mental.
