In Her Shoe

The alley echoes the alternating sounds of a single heeled shoe, clacking, followed by a soft tap of a single crutch against the tiled floor. It was early morning and the mall had just opened. The sound was curious and some early shoppers turn their heads to find its source. To their delight and surprise they see young, slender and well endowed girl, clad in skimpy tank top and short shorts. Her red hair bounced as she takes graceful strides and her skin glows perfectly in the morning sun. However her most striking feature was her apparent disability. The girl had the most beautiful body, yet she was missing a left leg at the hip. She only had a round clean stump where her left leg would have been, peeking out the leg hole of her short shorts. Her one good leg was slender and well toned. It swung in full display as she takes careful steps. Another thing that caught people's attention was her lack of a left arm. Her shoulder tapered neatly similar to her left hip, and didn't show the slightest trace of an arm. This meant that she had to use only one crutch to get around. Consequently, her movement is restricted as she could not support her empty side when she walked. Non the less, the girl took confident strides, seemingly oblivious of the commotion she is causing.

"The girl's name is Tori" One observer would tell another. Tori was known in town for quite obvious reasons. And she has only gotten more famous due to her vlogs going viral. Just the previous week, she has stared in an evening show and gotten featured in the month's extra ordinary people edition. Today, she came to the mall by herself. She has not always been confident about her body image, let alone expose herself in a public place such as this without her friends. Nevertheless, she made it a point to come early, hoping that there would be less people around.

Tori glanced at the garments and items displayed as she steadily passed by the windows of boutiques and apparel shops. The displays were eye catching and she took her time to inspect the garments worn by the mannequins. She couldnt help but envy those long and two legged mannequins poised majestically in 6 inch heels. She sighed and wondered if she can ever wear heels that tall. Having no stump in her left side meant she couldn't wear functional prosthesis, let alone use high heels. One of the shop owners had noticed her standing outside his shop and hurriedly welcomed her in. He held the door open for her, to her relief. pushing doors can be tricky if you have a single leg and crutch on the same side, you'd loose balance quite easily. Tori daintily walked in and was shown around by the kind shop owner. She couldnt help but notice how young he was, perhaps the son of the real owner? Nonetheless, she thought he looked pleasant as well as he was a gentle man. "Welcome to my humble store, Miss. Are you looking to buy a shoe?" Tori smiled at his gesture. He obviously noticed her lack of two feet. She nodded and asked if he could help her fit a six inch heel. The man was visibly astonished at the mention. "I know, but a girl can dream, right?" The man cleared his throat and replied "I see no problem in that!" he gestured for the girl to proceed to the isle of high heeled shoes. "You must be wondering how i am supposed to walk around in shoes like these" Tori picked a shoe and showed it to the man. "Im sure you'd look great, and yes I am curious too!" He replied honestly. "Thank you, I am just as curious" The man nervously ushered her to a chair nearby and gulped as he watched her gracefully settle herself down. He could see her bare hip peeking out of her short shorts, but he tried his best not to stare. "I have gotten used to people staring" Tori randomly quipped, not realizing the store owner himself was in fact staring.

"Pardon me if I stared, I couldn't help myself, you are uniquely beautiful miss" The girl was visibly shocked, she also blushed. She acted casual but inside she was thrilled. "Oh" she managed to reply, not sure how to respond. "I am not used to such comments, I always thought my disability is the only reason people stare, and i try to look pleasant but i really cannot hide these" She placed a hand and rubbed her empty shoulder, she moved her empty hip as well. "You are truly brave for not hiding them. I hope it is not rude to say, but I find you attractive even without your arm and leg." Her heart throbbed and she couldnt believe her ears. This handsome man, a total stranger, actually seem to admire her! But she quickly reminded herself to remain on the ground. "Oh you are a sweet talker, don't worry i really appreciate it. But I am your customer and I am really eager to try that shoe on now, if you don't mind" The man's smile disappeared and he quickly apologized. "I got easily distracted, here you go Miss" He carefully handed over the shoe to Tori. "It's Tori"

Now the man was obviously blushing and this made her feel naughty. She giggled and took the shoe from his hand. "Tori" the man's heart skipped a beat. What a lovely and adorable name for such a girl. "I'm Ron" He replied. She offered to shake his hand and he held hers longer than necessary. "It's nice to meet you" The girl replied the same and then went on to take off her own shoe. As she bent down her breasts spilled from her tight top and she paused to try to cover it. However, having only one hand meant she either hides her chest or take off her shoe. Ron couldn't help but glance at his customers chest. God did she have the most wonderfully generous pair. He had noticed her bit of struggle and offered to help. "May I?" he asked politely and reached down to her foot. She nodded with delight and smiled. "Erm, I might need a bit more help than your average customer, Ron" He looks up and she was seated in the cutest pose he's seen. Her chest was in full display, and she eagerly waited for his response.

"I am glad to assist" Ron assured. He held the girls leg by her slender but we'll toned calf and took off her short heeled shoe. He thought for a moment, as he slipped on the high heel shoe, that he must've been the luckiest man on the planet to have held a beautiful girl's only foot. He carefully yet masterfully adjusted the shoe and looked up to see if she was comfortable. To his pleasant surprise, the girl was beaming. As soon as she saw her smile she looked flustered and quicklyarranged herself. "How's that?" He inquired, "it fits perfectly, how did you guess my foot size so well?" She affirmed. He grinned contentedly and stood up. He held her crutch and offered to help her get up. But as the girl stood she struggled to keep her balance. She gripped he's arm and steadied herself w her crutch. "I see your crutch may need a bit of adjustment?" The girl sheepishly smiled and apologized for her clumsiness. "Is your first time wearing such shoe, right? It might take a little getting used to" she nodded and settled back carefully to her chair. "You are very observant, Ron" she commented. He smiled and replied casually, "it's my business to make sure you're comfortable" she grinned and took her crutch. She fumbled and had a bit of trouble adjusting her crutch. With one arm, and one leg, it was difficult to keep the crutch steady and to get a firm grip on the tiny screw. "Erm, could you please help me unscrew this part?" He did as told but soon found that the crutch couldn't extend longer than 3 inches. "Aw darn" Tori sighed and quickly covered her lips as she realized her profanity. Ron just giggled and held out a hand. "I think I need a new crutch for this to work!" She told the the store owner. "Oh don't give up too soon" he replied and held out a hand. "At least have a look at yourself in the mirror, you look great. "Really??" Tori beamed, "err, I'm going to have to use you as my crutch, are you sure?" Ron nods excitedly. Pleased and quite nervous, the one legged girl took his hand and she slowly steadied herself upright. With out an arm and a leg, she twisted and turned as she tried to balance. Her narrower heel made it hard to keep her body from turning a it naturally leaned towards her empty side. She took a while to get herself upright without shaking. She looked at Ron apologetically. "Take your time, just lean on me" the girl nodded and took his advise. She bend her leg a little and made a little hop so she could get closer, her ankle wobbled ever so slightly and she gripped Ron's hand as hard as she could and leaned for support. Just then, she leaned a bit too far that she started falling. Noticing her predicament, Ron quickly stepped closer and held her by her waist. The girl was shocked. Her body was now inevitably pressed against the man and she could feel helis strong arm around her. She felt her face blush and she instinctively tried to hold on with her absent arm. Her shoulder twitched and she leaned even further. Ron patiently held her until she was much more stable, by now she had hopped a short distance already- her first steps with her Hugh heel shoe! "I'm sorry! Please hold me" she pleaded Ron. But Ron was far from inconvenienced. His heart was pounding inside with excitement. Tori's breasts were pressed on him and she didn't seem to mind one bit! More over, his hand was firmly wrapped around her waist and he felt her empty hip preing in his leg. It was soft and he could feel her remnant muscles contract as if she was trying to step forward her missing leg. The girl fanned herself with her hand to show that she was nervous. "You're doing great, tell me if you need to sit down" she shook her head and looked up with a determined expression. "I want to take a few more steps, If it's alright" she replied. "Of course. Let's take it one step at a time" she smirked at his pun and readied herelf for another hop.

"Oh wow, it looks so cute!" Exclaimed the exhilerating girl as she studied herself in the mirror. "Sure does!" Ron replied, still holding her hand and keeping watch of her excited movements. He was warry that she might fall from her twisting and hopping, but Tori seemed to have forgotten about her difficulty balancing as she admired herself in her first high heeled shoe. "Careful now, you wouldn't want to twist your only ankle" Rin reminded, quite sincerely. The girl eased her drastic movements and she poised and watched herself from a different angle. "You must be proud, I think this shoe was made for you." Tori blushed and smiled. She looked at her sincle leg and how long and slender it looked. "Sometimes I want to know what it's like to walk in this shoe with two feet, but everyone has two feet, are you wondering what's it like to have one leg?" Ron listened and nodded affirmingly. He wasn't sure what to say in response. But he asked, "Id also be interested to know what it's like to hop with one leg!" He quickly replied. "Oh it's hella fun" the girl enthusiastically described. "I have better sense of balance than your average girl, that's for sure, but I'm also easy to tip off" she giggled. "To be honest, I do find certain things challenging, but I get by. I've lived ally life this way, I don't know any other way to get around besides using wheelchair, crutching or hopping." Ron was amazed at how positive the girl was despite her crcumstance "I'm sure you can do most things just as well as any to legged person" she nodded vigorously and smiled. "I try my best, and sometimes I do exceed my own expectation. Like now, I never imagined I'd be able to hop this far with heels!" He giggled and nodded as he listened. Minutes had passed and the two hadn't noticed they've been standing for quite a while. Ron finally noticed Tori's leg bending as she adjusted herself. He quickly offered to take her back to her chair. The girl laughed and held his hand as she hopped carefully back to her chair. He breasts heaved and bounced as she moved. She would stop and lean on Ron so she could adjust them before Hopping again. "Hopping used to be my favorite way of getting around when I was younger, but its just not the best option anymore" She added as she slumped back to her chair. She sheepishly tugged her top and let her breasts slip back comfortably before they expose themselves even further. She then stretched her leg and caressed her calf. "I can see why" Ron naughtily thought to himself. He pretended not to notice her predicament with her chests but he could not help looking in awe as she casually shifted them in place. "I am sure you can get around pretty well with your cruthes and high heels once you get enough practice." He managed to say professionally. "Oh thank you, Ron" she smiled. "Yeah, do you mind if I shop here more often?" She flirtingly inquired. "My, I think I have a new favorite customer now. "And do I get discounts since I wouldn't need pairs?" She jokingly added. "Tell you what, we can make arrangements if you tell me more of your stories." Tori giggled and blushed, "it's a deal, I know just a place where we can have coffee" the two had a pleasant conversation before finally parting. Tori was delighted with her find. Today she found a shoe and a man. The shoe was perfect, and she hoped the latter fits her just as well.

I thank Adam Repiscak for sharing yet another one of his OCs with us. He is one of my earliest supporters and his characters were the first amputee girls I drew after Miko when I started out. I have always been fascinated by his female characters and I couldn't help improvising stories for them. They are a delight to draw ^_^ that being said, I'd like to invite you guys to check out his gallery if you wish to see more of Tori and her amputee friends. You can find it in his Deviant art:

Hello my dear friends, it has been a while since my last post. I am truly sorry for the lack of updates, but recently I have been dealing with personal setbacks and difficulties which made it hard for me to accomplish much art work. As you may know, I have had a rather unfortunate start for this year, having lost two loved ones and just as I thought I'd have recovered, I sank into deep loneliness I couldn't quite grasp. Many of you tried to reach me through personal messages and I cannot tell you enough how grateful I am and how much it meant to me at that time. Thank you for reaching out. Each time I get messages I am encouraged to interact outside of my isolation. And the more I talked to people who showed much care, the better I coped with my emotions. Many of you encouraged me to take my time and not rush any work. I guess I must've burnt myself out w my new job and compounding responsibilities that I forgot to take it slow and make time for my emotions. It took a toll on me and I am just lucky to have supportive friends and family who kept reaching out during the past weeks. With the encouragement of a few friends here, I went on a vacation to be with my family for Easter. I am still out with them now, but am heading home soon. In fact, I wrote this poorly edited story on my phone because I did not bring my PC or laptop with me. And since my visit here, I've felt a whole lot lighter and motivated to move forward. My writing is a bit Rusty, as you may understand, I haven't written for a while. But I am just glad to make this little accomplishment early on this month. I hope to make more progress in the coming days. I have to apologize for the sudden halt in our polls. I still don't now how I can make up for the months that had passed. I will try to get to them one poll at a time, or maybe do something like the last time, where I pick more winners in a poll to make up for the lack in the previous month. What do you guys think? I appreciate your feedback backs, they are welcome as always. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I hope you Ike this semi sketchy piece. Several others are still in progress, almost done but not quite yet. Belated Happy Easter every one!
