Author's Note: While you are reading this ask yourself your favorite present you got for Christmas.
It all started one day in a factory. Oh the factory. Such a terrible place to live. Well the factory is a place that those, humans, made me something I'm not. Before that horrid place I was just a plain piece of fabric. Living my life as a piece of fabric would. But then, one day, I was taken to a factory and they started ripping me up and putting my back together. As I was put through this surgical production, I was made into some odd figure that the factory workers call a “slipper”. But apparently I was not a regular slipper. I was a slipper that was in a boot form. Even thought I was not a very happy with these factory workers, they did make me quite stylish. They described me as soft, pink ad grey, and striped. Then came that one day when I was done being made. I was shoved into a box and shipped some where. People would come and try me on and then just leave me there. I despised this place. I actually liked the factory better. But then one day, a lady came and picked me up and bought me.
I didn't know what was going on. I was taken out pf my box and put into a bag along with too other items. A bracelet and a necklace. I was in there for a while but then one day I was taken to a strange house.There were a lot of people at this house. They also had bags and wrapped items. I was confused at the moment. People were all eating, talking,and there were kids running around. Suddenly I heard every one say that it was gift exchange time. As all the other items were sitting on the floor they began to move and so did I. The items and myself were passed to each of the children. I was one of the last to be open. The necklace and the bracelet were opened before me and i was opened next. This human seemed very happy that she got me. Then she thanked the humans that gave me to her and put me on.
I felt so free that I was out of that box. But being on someones feet felt kind of nasty. As this human squished me against the floor every time she took a step, it began to start hurting. Even though she had only had me on for about twenty minutes, she took me off saying she didn't want to wear me out. So I was placed back into the box. Hours later i heard someone say “good bye everybody,drive safe.” When all the humans had left she had come back to take me out of the box and put me on. I didn’t mind being put back on her feet. I was really small in that box. As the week went in I was warn more and more. I suddenly started loving this life. No more factories, or random people trying me on in the store. I had finally found my home.
