The last piece of clothing left in the box was a pair of blue rubber rainboots. By all appearances, they were a simple pair of beaten up galoshes, well worn. The insides were lined with a faux sheepskin, and the bottom tread had the pattern of a pawprint near the ball of the foot. They were set and sized a size slightly too large for Arnel, but he wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth as he plucked them up and examined them. Of course, having one foot in a cast, at least one boot was tempoarilly useless to him, but that hopefully would change soon enough when the cast was removed.
Little did Arnel know the boots were actually magical. They contained a playful spirit that would shape his life for the better, give him a tremendous power and improvement to his currently dismal life. Once even a single boot was on, that power would grow exponentially, and the boots would change and change him. The question was, does Arnel wait to put both boots on or just put one on now?
