Jasmine had just arrived for her appointment she made for a massage. A rather mature woman, you could tell but she looked pretty good for her age. She arrived wearing her sky-blue summer dress ready for her long-awaited massage.
The masseuse directed Jasmine to the table, she place down her handbag, removed her white pumps and laid on her stomach over the table. Exposing her bare legs and feet which were going to get massaged today, the thighs peeking out from under the summer dress were thick and lead down to calves which had a nice curve facing upwards. Then at the end of those legs were feet of size 11 (slightly bigger than his usual clients) shapely and hardened from supposedly walking around barefoot all the time. Despite this, her feet were smooth as were the rest of her legs.
Jasmine's soles are facing upwards as he takes her foot in his hands, he is just warming up by squeezing each foot gently and making circular motions with his fingers. A tired Jasmine starts to fall asleep and suddenly she stops tensing.
The masseuse notices how hard her feet were, the soles were wide and the toes were rather big. Even still, that's nothing he isn't new to. That was until he started rubbing harder, when he heard a snap. Alarmed he looks down and see that her big toe has been detached from her foot.
Luckily Jasmine was still asleep. The masseuse didn't know what to do. It was strange, though, as it was bloodless, and both the foot and the detached big toes felt fleshy like a normal foot would. Nervously, he continues to rub the foot, while thinking to what to do next. Then heard more snapping. It was the other four toes.
He started to get more panicked as he stared at Jasmine's toeless foot right before him. She was still asleep. "Whew!" He picked up the five toes and placed them on a tray next to him. He decided to move on to her next foot, even though he fears the same will happen with the untouched foot. He slowly and cautiously prodded a finger at her sole, near the toes. The toes then all fell off as well, now rendering Jasmine completely toeless.
Now the masseuse was baffled at how effortlessly her second lot of toes fell off, not even snapped, but fell but they might as well have. He felt like waking her up to ask if that was normal for her. It certainly wasn't for him.
Now she has two feet with smooth, flattened-off ends, where toes used to be. Not even stumps. Yet he still carries on with the massage as if they were like any other feet. Hoping nothing else snaps off. As he reaches for his massage oil he accidentally knocks over Jasmines handbag from the shelf. As he picks up the bag and its contents which scattered on the floor, he find a small kit which reads AltMart. He quickly turns his neck around to Jasmine to check if she was still asleep and opens it. He was intrigued.
There was an assortment of tubes filled with different creams which include; a softening lotion, a solidifying lotion and a special 'body glue'. The glue is what he needed, as he sighed with relief as he know thinks he might know what to do. He had no idea what the other creams were but was somewhat curious.
The small case had a sign saying please use gloves. So the masseuse slipped on a pair of gloves and applied the softening lotion to one foot. He massaged it in as if its any other lotion and within minutes he noticed a change. Her foot was a big wad of dough. He began to freak out he was teasing the toeless mass between his fingers. He was wondering what kinds of things she does with her feet and why, and why her digits would snap off so easily.
The masseuse was confused, this isn't pottery, he was supposed to just give a simple massage. He has hardly moved on to the legs. The masseuse carried on and even played around with the feet and rolled it into a smooth ball. He laughed to himself briefly to the though of Jasmine walking around on skin-colored spheres where feet would be. Like big inverted lollipops attached at the ankle.
He moved onto the other foot to make it look symmetrical as he started to knead her other toeless foot into a ball shape like the other. He was considering solidifying her feet into that shape and just explain everything to Jasmine when she wakes up. She's already been sleeping for quite a while. So he picks up the solidifying cream which is supposed to set the feet into that shape. The he read the label.
MOLD NOT INCLUDED
"Mold", he rushed to the bag and looked for a mold as described, he didn't think he'd find one but it would really surprise him that much seeing as she seems to be carrying all these weird lotions. Much to his surprised (or not really) he found a portable set of molds. which reads 'Size 11' followed by a set of numerals and letters.
He followed the instructions as he; applied the lotion to set her clay-like feet, shaped into the mold, left room for him to re-attach the toes at last, and waited 10 minutes for it to set. Ten minutes passed and the molds were removed. Luckily her feet were restored to their previous form (albeit without toes) and softer than before. Now for the glue.
But as the masseuse picked up the glue, Jasmine woke up. She was bending and flexing the arches of what was left of her feet. He quickly placed everything into her bag, the molds, the kit, the glue which he didn't have time to place back into the kit.
"How long have I been asleep for?" Jasmine looked up at the clock "Oh shit! I'm supposed to pick up the kids from soccer practice".
She made haste and amazingly did not notice her missing toes as slipped on her pumps. She was in too much of a rush and grabbed her handbag.
"I'm sorry just one..." The masseuse tried to tell Jasmine about her foot situation she is seemingly oblivious to before being cut off by her.
"Thanks heaps for that, here's your money." She places it down as she swiftly heads out the door. "My feet feel a lot lighter". Jasmine added in a pleased tone.
Before the masseuse could let another word out she was gone. Her detached toes lay on the bench. All ten of them, they seem to be recently manicured. Not knowing what to do, placed them all in a bag and placed aside.
Once he finished packing up he went out the back where the dumpster was, he didn't want the disembodied toes lying around for the boss to see, and contemplated throwing them away. She hadn't called in since she left earlier so he decided he would get rid of them but instead put them away with his stuff. He wanted to take them home, he didn't even care if he got caught doing so. From behind, he heard a voice.
"They go into lost property." His boss said, casually. At least he didn't get in trouble, maybe these things do happen.
