The shiny shoes - Photo Flash Fiction #FridayPhotoFiction

She always dreamed of those shiny shoes as she watched her mother don them every evening, leaving for her work. One day she had tried them on only to be scolded severely by her mother. “You will never ever wear those shoes, do you hear me?” It took her many years to understand what had she done wrong.
