after that day, i wanted to know more about him. why did he hang shoes on trees? i am sure it is much more than being superstitious.

every night when the clock strikes 9, i draw my curtains to see him. he's always there. taking a pair of shoes in his hands and making his way to the tree. he would climb up the tree then tie the shoe there and remove the shoe he tied the day before. i noticed that he always put something into the shoe. call me a stalker i was just being curious yo. his routine every night was usually the same except for the colour of the shoes.

I felt like a detective for a moment. i grabbed my grey pullover and walked out of the house. the park was kinda empty like my fridge. i decided im going to ask him everything tonight. i mean he's just a stranger but one he's a cute stranger and two im curious.

"tickticktick" i looked down at my watch. it's finally time. i saw a familiar face. i scanned for the shoes, wondering how he felt today. however, he wasn't holding on to any shoe. is he confused about his feelings today? where is his shoe? a thousands of questions were on my mind but they were all interrupted when i saw him cry.

it was confusing obviously. all the previous shoes he hung were bright colours. bright colour means he's happy. did something happen?

he was sitting on a bench so i sat beside him.

"are u okay? why didn't u hang any shoes today?"

"leave me alone please"

i knew i couldn't just leave him alone. he looked sad. something must've happened to him. i realised he was holding on to a rope. he wasn't going to hang shoes this time. he was going to hang himself.
