Shoes.

No, you don't understand.

You see the

Shoes.

Get them.

But this was not an ordinary hideous pair

of black and white pumps.

Both were left feet.

One had a right angled turn in it with separate

compartments that pointed the toes in impossible directions.

The other shoe was six inches long and was curved inward like a rocking chair

with a vice and razor blades to hold the foot in place.

She paid

Carlo and crawled out of the store into the

Later that day,
