How was I ever gonna know she’d abuse my power? If I did, I wouldn’t have ever told her. You know how some families inherit eye color, hair color, and medical conditions, well, my family inherits something very different. All the girls on my mother's side of the family have the unique ability to shapeshift. We can’t shapeshift into everything, for the most part, we’re limited to one thing in particular.
Like, for example, my sister can shapeshift into a man and so on. Although, we can’t control our powers. This is going to sound strange but whenever someone says the word “indigo” we shapeshift into one form. We can only transform back when someone says it again. This wouldn’t be so bad if our powers were limited to becoming other humans, which in my case, they aren’t.
I was dealt a particularly bad hand because I’m forced to transform into a pair of sandals. In that form, I can still, taste, feel and hear everything. Up until recently I spent very little time in that form, it was only after I got a roommate that I’ve been spending my days underfoot. After moving in I made sure to tell her about my little power just so she knew what to long for me as in case I randomly disappeared one day.
Since then she’s made it a mission to make me spend more time being stepped on than being human. I’m essentially locked in this form for however long she wants. Sometimes I spend a few hours as her sandals, other times I spend weeks as them. I wish I had never told her, she’s the only one this adamant about using my powers.
In case you're wondering, yes, I’m currently in that form now. There’s nothing really for me to do except reflect on stuff and just think. It’s quite boring when I’m not worn, but I’d rather be that than be on her feet. It’s quite disgusting being worn, especially when I know that she hasn’t washed in a day or two. Not to mention how much it hurts when she slams me into the ground step after step while walking. I hope she grows sick of this soon, otherwise, I might need to be adjusting to my life as sandals.
