I am not sure what happened first, if my feet started growing before I went to sleep or if I was working in my garden when it happened.
All I know is that my feet grew from a size 7 to a size 18 over night.
I woke up and my feet were killing me, as they always do when I have been working in the garden all day.
I got out of bed and went into the bathroom to start my morning routine.
As I lifted my foot to wash it, I saw that it was much larger than normal.
My first thought was that it must be swollen from working in the garden the day before.
I finished washing my foot and reached for the towel to dry it, but as I lifted it again, I noticed just how large it had become.
I then looked at my other foot and saw that it was just as large as the first one I had washed.
I knew that I had to get to work, so I put black ankle socks on my large feet and slipped my size 7 boots on.
They were killing me by the time I got to work, but I knew that I had no choice but to wear them.
After all, what else was I going to do?
I struggled down the sidewalk, each step sending jolts of pain through my compressed feet.
The black boots had become torture devices, the leather straining against my swollen flesh.
A middle-aged woman gave me a concerned look as I stumbled past, my awkward gait drawing unwanted attention.
I could feel her eyes on me as I continued down the street, my large feet making every step a struggle.
The sign for the shoe store came into view - "Family Footwear" in bold letters above the storefront.
I paused at the entrance, dreading the inevitable stares and questions that would follow.
Through the window, I spotted a teenage employee organizing boxes on shelves.
My stomach churned at the thought of explaining my situation to him, but the throbbing in my feet left me no choice.
I limp toward the men's section, scanning the shelves for anything resembling my size.
The teenage employee glances up from his task of restocking, his eyes widening as he takes in my oversized boots.
He quickly averts his gaze, returning to his work with a mixture of curiosity and discomfort.
My compressed toes throb with each step, the leather creaking audibly as I move.
I pretend to browse normally, running my fingers over the rows of shoes, but my attention is fixed on finding something - anything - that might fit.
My eyes land on a size 11 box, the largest I can find.
I grab it off the shelf, careful not to draw attention to myself as I examine it.
Keeping my feet partially hidden behind a display, I slide off my right boot and gingerly place my foot into the shoebox.
A sharp pain shoots through my right foot, followed by a distinct popping sound.
I glance down to see a seam give way along the toe cap of my boot. My heart sinks as small tears begin to appear along the edges of the leather.
I clutch the shoebox closer to me, watching in horror as the damage spreads.
The teenage employee hesitates before approaching me, his voice a mix of concern and curiosity.
"Uh, ma’am, are you okay? It looks like those boots are about to fall apart."
I sigh, glancing at the ruined leather. "Yeah, it's a long story, but I need something bigger—much bigger."
