Shoe

For those of you that know the story, it's pretty obvious that Shoe is a retelling of The Red Shoes. I studied The Red Shoes in year 10 and drew some rather terrible charcoal pictures to go with it.

Apparently unrelatedly, a friend of mind has this pair of gorgeous black shoes that I have always admired. Back when I was teaching Pathfinders (like Scouts or Guides or whatevs), the kids did some work with photography, and one of the girls took a photo of said enviable shoes (shown below).

Combine that photo and those shoes with The Red Shoes, and you get Shoe.
