Another normal day in Scorton's Creek. No birds humming, no trees singing, no winds blowing—just fog that has covered the whole town. The people got ready to start their day as usual. The adults went to work while the kids went to school.
The students arrived, and the lessons began. During recess, they all went downstairs. Besides chatter, nothing else could be heard. The teachers just supervised as usual. All of a sudden, <
As the teachers advanced towards the sound, it died down. The only thing they saw was a pair of white shoes with blood stains on them. They didn't panic because they thought it was the shoes' design. Since the shoes were near the school gym, the teacher just picked up the shoes and placed them in the change room.
The gym lessons began for the fourth graders.As they all changed clothes for gym class,one student saw the shoes and was captivated by their bedazzles and blood stains. The others decided to wait for him outside.
He wanted to try the shoes on. As he approached the shoes, he felt uneasy, but the way the shoes sparkled, he wanted—no, he had to try them on. As he wore the shoes, in the blink of an eye, his body parts vanished piece by piece into the wonderful pair of shoes,
But before he sank into the shoes, he let out a loud scream which caught the attention of one of his mates. But as they arrived, they saw no one—only the bedazzled white shoes on the ground.
The students got back to the gym class, and the lesson continued. After some time, the school closed, and everyone besides the janitors and the school guard remained. The janitors took turns cleaning as usual.
One cleaned the classrooms, while the other cleaned the hallways and windows. One approached the change room and entered. She started putting everything in place and came across the bedazzled white shoes with blood stains.
As the bedazzles glittered, they caught the janitor's attention, and she decided to try them on. The only problem was that they appeared small, but she still decided to give it a try. As she placed the shoes on, she realized that they fit perfectly.
She then took a picture of the shoes and posted them on her Instagram page. After this action, she started to feel a tingling sensation. The shoes began masticating her whole.
Both sides of the pair each got a nice pound of flesh to munch on. Meanwhile, the other janitor had finished her part and was waiting for the other to finish so they could call it a day. After a long wait, she decided to go look for her instead of waiting.
She then entered the change room only to find the cleaning materials in a corner and a nice pair of bedazzled white shoes on the ground.
She didn't pay much attention to the shoes. She called out to her partner; however, there was no response. She thought maybe she had gone to the washroom or something, so she decided to finish cleaning the change room and wait for her outside.
She then heard a voice that said, "Come closer, try me on." She was frightened since she knew she was the only one there. She followed the voice, which led her to the shoes. As the bedazzles glittered, the shoes kept on calling her.
"What are you?" she asked the shoes. They responded, saying they were just a friendly pair of sneakers who wanted to be useful to their temporary owners. They tried convincing her to try them on, but she refused.
The bedazzled shoes grew impatient and decided to tell the janitor a story to convince her. They began with a once upon a time.
There was a very vibrant town called Scorton's Creek. The villagers loved each other, and the sky was always blue. All the villagers lived in harmony. One day, Tony, a renowned shoemaker, got caught up in a fire that burnt down his whole shop. He had nowhere to go.
He asked for help, and to his surprise, no one helped him because he was the son of an alleged thief. No one offered him a job nor a place to stay. He used the little he had to create his greatest work: a pair of bedazzled white shoes. He offered them for sale, but the people said they were too expensive.
As Tony was on the brink of death, he used his last breath to curse the town, saying it shall never see the light of day again. The gods allowed his curse to take effect.
After he died, he was burnt by the villagers. His soul went into his bedazzled white shoes's been devouring every single person who tried his shoes on or looked at them with interest.
The janitor was scared out of her wits. She knew she wasn't going to make it out alive. She tried yelling for help, but it was too late. She didn't realize she had put on the shoes without knowing.
The shoes then let out a silent chuckle and engulfed her whole. After two hours or more, the guard's shift ended, and he realized the janitors were still in the school. He tried calling them, but there was no response.
With his torch, he searched all the classes and didn't find them. He then arrived at the change room. As he entered, the only thing he saw was the cleaning materials, their phones, and a pair of bedazzled white shoes on the ground.
