For months now Katie knew this day was to come. Ever since she noticed her insole was starting to get worn down she realized her days were numbered. She wasn&#8217;t at all mad at this, no she was more proud of this outcome. She had served her owner well and was now going into retirement. Watching as Thea tried on a new pair of shoes, part of Katie grew saddened.<br /><br />For years she had been her flip-flops, for how long she wasn't quite sure but she knew at least a decade. When she was transformed by Thea the two were in their senior year of high school, now after all those years she was in her thirties. How time flies fast, especially when underfoot.<br /><br />Day in and day out she spent constantly being crushed, stepped on, and abused by her ex-friend. At first, she hated being her flip-flops, she found it disgusting especially all the tastes and smells involved. But after the first year of being underfoot, Katie started to grow a fondness, if not love for being her flip-flops.<br /><br />She almost took pride in it, it was her responsibility to keep Thea&#8217;s feet off the ground and she was doing so as best she could. The longer she spent as flip-flops the more time seemed to slow, minutes turned into hours, hours into days, and so on. Katie didn&#8217;t even realize how much Thea had changed until she caught a glimpse of her one day, she looked older, in her mid-twenties.<br /><br />After that, the months continued to stretch into each other. It grew to be pretty boring being constantly worn. Then after years of being worn, she noticed her body starting to degrade. Her foam body was finally giving out after years of serving her goddess. She was proud to have given her body for the protection of her feet.<br /><br />Taking off the heel she had tried on, Thea laid her foot back down onto one of Katie&#8217;s bodies. She was ecstatic as her sole rested itself upon her foam form. It seemed for now that she was going to be her flip-flops for a bit longer. She wondered what would happen when Thea got rid of her, would she transform her back or leave her to stew in monotony in the landfill?<br /><br />Only the future would tell. For now, she focused her attention on comforting her goddess Katie&#8217;s feet. Protecting them from the ground as she walked in her. Katie was happy to be her flip-flops and was glad that she was to spend some more time under her owner&#8217;s feet. <br /><br /><br />The image used doesn't belong to me and I will remove it at the behest of the copyright owner.
