DAY 1

I woke up so late I didn’t get to see him leave. Uknow, that’s the problem with me, I am just too lazy and self centered. Maybe I should be helping out more. But what can I say I didn’t come cheap, and he should know to treat me better. He came home with the other one, I hate the other one, he’s dark, arrogant, stupid, and he’s not good enough for him.

DAY 2

Did I miss him again?? Yes, I did. He seems to have forgotten me. I haven’t been taken care of as much as I want to be. I know I am not easy to be taken care of but I still want him to love me as much as he used to. I remember when he just couldn’t get enough of me and we’d spend days and days together.

DAY 3

I’ve given up hope of waking up early enough and see him before he goes to college. Something interesting happened, his friend came by, I could tell he had every intension of taking me away, but my conscience was too filled with guilt, I could not cheat on the only person I’ve ever loved. His friend left with the other one. And when he came back he was unhappy to find the other one missing.

DAY 4

I woke up early enough to see him just before he left. I don’t understand why he dosn’t care about me anymore. Sure Im older now and I don’t look as good as I used to but I feel we still look together: him and me, everyone says so. It’s not like he has to feed me or anything.

DAY 5

I remember when I first came home with him, it was raining but he made sure Ididn’t get wet, that was when I knew I made the right decision. His friends loved me, they thought he and I looked amazing together. It’s probably because he likes to wear soft colours, and i am very fair.. you could say I was almost white in colour.

DAY 6

I had a bath today, it was refreshing especially after such a long time. I realised how sweet, gentle and thorough he is while doing something. I splashed water all over the floor but he said nothing. I was in the terrace drying off when he came up.. he sat beside me, we said nothing. He sat there for awhile and we both went inside the house, it was getting dark and i was dry by now.

DAY 7

He woke me up early in the morning. Today he and I were going to be together. He wore black pants and a green Tshirt so that he look good with me. As we all know white goes along great with black, i’ve always been amazed by his good taste of clothing. We went to our college together, attented classes after classes. He seems to be enjoying his time in college, and im happy for him. We came home late. He’s had a tiring day and he’s already asleep, I would be too if not for the smell, socks are smelly Usee.. and he forgot and left his socks in me... but that’s okay, Im still his favourite pair of shoes.

  1. This is an excellent example of personification and anthropomorphism. And I love the way you take the narrative until the end, leaving clues en route, to suddenly reveal that it is a pair of shoes.
    Question: How would you treat this narrative if you have to animate it as a "story"?

  2. How can you bring in dynamic events that take the story up in terms of suspense, action?
