Lucas doesn't like shoes. Whatsoever. Yet everywhere he goes, he has to wear them. In fact, there's only one pair of shoes he has ever put on willingly, and that was a black pair of stilettos. No, he didn't like the shoes, but they hold a story so close to him the only way it could get closer was to wear them on his feet. Luke moved to his grandparents house in Houston, Texas as a young child after his parents sudden and vague deaths. Not liked or even recognized as existing by kids at school, he is surprised by a girl insistently trying to befriend him. As if he wasn't already confused, his stilettos go missing, and he finds them in such a bizarre and confusing scenario that I probably won't be able to write it. This is- Shoes.

One of the winners of the Once Upon Now contest! Feet Aren't Made for Walking will be renamed Truth Be Told and will be published by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster, on October 11, 2016 in the Once Upon Now Anthology! ---------------------------- Leo Clark is having a really bad day. He's been transported into a topsy-turvy alternate universe (not a good thing when your mom's expecting you home for dinner), he's recently acquired wooden extremities and is physically incapable of telling a lie (an even worse thing when you pride yourself on not sharing your emotions), and his little sister has been kidnapped, mistaken for the lost princess of the Land of Pittsborough (the worst thing of all because...please refer back to the part about Mom making dinner). In order to save his sister and find a way home, Leo will have to confront an evil queen who lives in an office cubicle, a few mice with horrible fashion sense, and a girl with green skin and webbed toes (but hey, at least she's kind of cute). And he'll have to do it all before the clock strikes midnight or risk being trapped in Pittsborough forever. Now if only he could figure out how to walk on his wooden feet... --------------------------- This short story is a modern day fairytale mashup, partially inspired by Pinocchio, The Frog Prince, and many others. Enjoy!
