One day I was walking by an old factory.The smoke stacks were off.I realized no one was working there.I walked to the front door to check out the factory because it looked really cool.I came to the front door and just like that the door open. I was shocked more than shocked i was terrified.So I gathered my fears and forced myself to go in.I went inside there was nothing in the room but the busted windows and the cracked walls with cobwebs in the corners.I walked around hearing the floor squeak and creak beneath my feet.I came in the middle of the room and saw a pair of shoes.I thought to myself "why are a pair of shoes doing in a place like this".I walked around the room hearing the floor squeak and creak beneath my feet.I pondered for a long time and came up with conclusion. "Maybe the shoes were left by a 18 year old girl who had to work in the factory".I sat on the floor and put the shoes in front of me.The light came in from a crack in the window and made a beam of light that shone on the shoes.It made me wonder about the girl who wore them.What was she like?What kind of life did she live?I could tell the shoes and been worn for a long time.The black leather was dusty ,cracked and worn.The soles were slick.Maybe she was a factory worker who had to support her family.Maybe this was the only pair of shoes she owned.She must have worn them in all kinds of weather snow,sleet,rain.Her shoes were still here-Was she? Does her spirit still haunt the factory? No,Surely not.Then all of an instant a shadow appeared in front of me.My heart raced I held the shoes tightly to my chest.Was it her?Had she come for her shoes? Then I heard a voice"what are you doing here?"
