The celebration party is in full swing.
Business heads claim credit for this quarter’s record-breaking sales and thank their bosses for their support.
The single shoe in police custody wonders if the unwarranted publicity has helped.
It’s not much fun being the modern version of Cinderella’s glass slipper when the nation is hunting for the body supposedly wearing the other shoe.
A footwear company squeezed out gains from mentioning its name and description of the shoe in leading newspapers.
Pumpkin sellers still wonder if they can promise transport, especially if the car (or Cinderella’s carriage) has been used for crime.

Great take on the prompt.

Somehow a canvas sneaker just doesn’t have the same charm as a glass slipper 🙂

A single shoe (especially kids’ shoes) are quite a common sight on Indian roads, but this one needed a story to be spun around it.
