This is a story for Friday Fictioneers, which is hosted by Rochelle. Every week you are challenged to write a 100 word story based on a photo.
Thanks to Courtney Wright for this week’s photo and also to Rochelle for hosting the challenge.
Thanks to all the readers for their time, too.
The girl prodded her path with a wooden stick in hand.
Today, she was in luck. She found a shiny pair of boots. It hardly mattered, if they were of her size or for boys.
She picked her find and analysed them. The shiny duct tape made her think of them as some magical boots.
With a joyous chuckle, she threw her stick in the air and slid herself in the pair.
As she walked her feet could barely keep up with the shoes. They made a wish! woosh! sound. Together they disappeared in the pathway of tall grasses.
I wonder where they’ll lead her…..

I had watched a documentary on Jonbenet a night before. Although I had no intention of watching that but somehow I did and chose to wrote this.

Sounds like the boots have a bit of a life of their own, hope they don’t take over control of her feet completely
