... pair of shoes. In fact next to loads of books and ancient manufacts you see these loafers that seem pretty much new, and you feel attracted to them. As you are looking at them you suddenly hear a voice from behind you, that scares you a bit.
- Huh, nice choice boy! - The shopkeeper tells you. He seems a weirdo, looks too much like Gandalf to be considered normal.
- I didn't choose anything, I'm just looking around... - You say trying to sound casual. - Anyway, what are those? Why are they in a shop like this? -
- They're the Shoes of Chance. They let you change your life at least in this world. - he says kind of proud.
- What? How do they work? - You say that strangely fascinated. You've never been into magic, but it feels possible... Like they emit some kind of aura.
- If you wear them and think out loud of another nation of present time they let you experience how your life would have been if you were born there. Between each change you must wait 24 hours. - Seems crazy, but you find yourself believing it.
- What would happen to my life meanwhile? How do I change back? What if the shoes don't fit me anymore? -
- Pfff, those shoes are magical, they WILL fit you anywhere. Also, meanwhile you're experimenting your new life your old self will be going on auto-pilot without the shoes, or ever remembering anything about them, like you never left. Beware, I said new life, cause even if you say your own country once again you could end up in a different body. So, boy, are you curious or dauntless enough to try them? -
Your life recently has not been that awesome. You're a 20 years old italian boy in college not sure if he's doing anything good out of his life. Your family always argues with you, you never had a girlfriend, and you don't have that many friends. It is worth a shot.
- Yes, Mister, I will purchase them, how much do they cost? -
- For you boy, nothing. And if you'll ever get back nearby let me know of your new situation. Just put them on now and try them! -
You put them on say out loud the name of your new homeland.
