Ugly Shoes Must Die

Sidra Khan, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Abstract

Norah Trevan likes good shoes. She likes designer shoes, she likes locally cobbled shoes; hell —she just likes some good shoes. What she doesn’t like, however, is a bunch of random nobodies swooping in and taking away her one chance at an elite internship that could’ve allowed her to create her very own beloved shoes. No wonder she’s always stomping around so angrily!

Join Norah as she discovers a little more about herself, makes a couple more enemies, and enjoys a moonlit soirée in a diner. Just not in that order.

Featuring appearances from Chairman Meow.

PROFILE PICTURE

BIO

Sidra Khan is a final year undergraduate student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University where she majors in Business Management. Her hobbies include spending money recklessly and then thinking about where it all went. So now no one can say she didn’t put her degree to good use.

REFLECTION

I wrote this story as an assignment for the class ELC1C03 Creative Writing in English. What started out as a feeble attempt at a decent grade then transformed itself into a personal form of therapy as the countdown to graduation-slash-entering the ‘real world’ began.
