Look What You Made Me Do, Witch

I'm here in front of a thrift shop right now. I just heard they have new arrival of secondhand shoes that looks perfectly new. Meaning, like it is a brand new one. They maybe have a little defect but that defect is actually invisible and won't be notice unless you stare at it for a long time or inspect it thoroughly.

I thought, I am the first to arrive on thr thrift shop but no, there's more people than I anticipated and they are all waiting for this shop to be open. Now I have to be fast or else, I won't get anything in that thrift shop specially the loafers that I've been eyeing since they post some of it on Facebook.

I actually asked about it on the seller but they said, J should just buy it on their shop if I want it. And because I really love the design of the shoes, I gave a go signal with it. I just thought maybe if I say that they will reserved it for me. I'm not sure yet, I'll just check inside and see if I'll get it to my hand. I am excited actually.

If ever, it will be a perfect match to my uniform in the new company I am in. This one will also be my lucky charm. I just feel that, this shoes will soon be mine. That's what I want to believe but I am still wishing. It is a love at first sight and I will get it no matter what. The design is really beautiful.

When I saw the woman inside giving a signal to everyone that they will open the shop already, I ready myself with only one goal. And that is to get that loafers in my hand and go home in triumph. I just hope it won't cost me that much. I really really want it to be mine.

Home.

I sit on the sofa, tired and with a messy hair. I drank some water and rest my head on sofa and look at the paper bag on the table. I smile widely while looking at it. I feel like I won in a lottery. I new it, when I saw it, I knew it will be mine. Actually, I almost lost it because to that woman, she is also looking at it. But I didn't let it happen.

I run as fast as I can, until I get a hold of it. An now, I am looking at it before my eyes. The shoes suit to my feet so well. It's like, it was created only for me coz it is very to fit to my feet. I thought it will be a little small because at first I thought it look so small but no, it fits to me perfectly. "Now, I can have a good start to my work tomorrow. (◍•ᴗ•◍)"

The next day, it's the first day of work but I feel like getting sick. When I check my neck, It's a little hot. "Maybe I really get tired from yesterday, lol." I just laugh with thr thought and readied myself to go to work. I am inside the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror inside because I notice something in my face snd neck. It has a lot of cut bruises.

I also check my body and I got surprises when I saw a big wound in my tummy. I get panic and look at myself in the mirror again only to be surprise because when I look at it again, I saw a woman. She was hung and she's wearing the same loafers that I have. I am sure it is the same because of it's color. Dark brown. I got scared and check the loafers on the paper bag but it's nowhere to be found.

I look around, but I couldn't find it. I am about to give up but when my eyes turn to where the front door. I saw it. It was full of mud and blood. And just beside that loafers is a bloody knife. I got scared that I back out a little. I look at the table again where I put the paper bag with the loafers and look at the front door again. It puzzle me how it happens and whats rely happened while I'm asleep.

I am sill in daze when I heard a knock on the door. I look at it only to find out that it's not lock completely. And before I can react, a police showed up. Showing me a warrant of arrest while saying something thst I don't really understand because I am still in shock. I want to blame the loafers of what's happening now, I want to defend myself, but how? How am I gonna say that this loafers acted on its own? And it's not me.

They are holding me while leading me to patrol car, with a hand cuff in my hand and while being watch with a lot of people....
