Shoes: A Reluctant Fairy Tale

A Short Fairy Tale.



It’s pretty obvious if you think about it that it wasn’t a magical girdle that Aphrodite had. It was a pair of magic shoes. So where are those shoes now? Making the rounds with mortal women!

Grace Gallagher would be the first to say she’s nothing special. Short, on the plump side, with a failing bookstore, she is the black sheep of her large family. More than anything she wants to live her own life, have an adventure, maybe even a little romance like in those books she hides from her parents.

Then a strangely handsome man drops off a package at the shop, addressed to her. Inside are a pair of shoes.
