they waited until she was sleeping soundly

the boots pushed open the closet door

the flat shoes crept out silently

returning soon after with her cell phone

the smart casuals composed a text to him

I have you on video stealing my shoes

return them by mail immediately

otherwise I go to the police

do not reply to this text

after the text was sent it was deleted

the smart casuals put her phone back

the boots closed the closet door and whispered

do you think it will work

the smart casuals said confidently

he has no choice but to comply

a few days later a package arrived 

the high heels were soon back in the closet

all the shoes were ecstatic

the high heels hugged everybody for the rescue

recalling the details of her time as a hostage

his closet was a nasty mess

it was horrible being dumped in there

those guys were all drunk and belligerent

but his flip flops protected me

we slept together in the back of that closet

and then I was returned in the mail

the flat shoes made a declaration

now we can get back to our old life

no more wild parties booze or smoking weed

a few weeks later the high heels were crying

the flat shoes were very sympathetic 

its going to be fine just tell us what is worrying you

the high heels blurted out

I am pregnant

the boots were concerned

it will be hard to hide a pair of baby shoes

the smart casuals led the rallying cry

we girls can achieve anything if we stick together

a few weeks later the high heels went into labor

they all took turns looking after the babies

keeping them well hidden in the back 

they grew up into a fine pair of shoes

She found them one day declaring

I do not remember buying these

but I will wear them anyway
