The Shoes that Took Her

A short story by
Mary-Laine Friday
First things first: I want you to know that they’re
making me write this. I’m not doing it out of

tear the walls apart just thinking about seeing you again.
But I’m stopping myself – I don’t want to be locked up with
any of those psychos I saw being dragged in here earlier.
I’ll just grit my teeth until my molars begin to ache, and
grip this pen as if it’s the only way I can hold onto my
sanity. That’ll stop me.

feeling of promise and strange optimism. The vibrant light
began to flicker out, but my feeling of positivity needed to
stay alight .Miles of frenzied sea stretched ahead of me,

mast and sails made me almost feel as if I was at home.
