High Heels Confidential

She opened her wardrobe and they were stacked in the bottom chamber. She looked at them with love and recalled how she had to acquire them the first time she saw them. They stood out amidst hundreds of intimidatingly good looking shoes at the store.

Damn they are intense, she thought. Men wouldn’t understand the equation of high heels with ladies. Over the years, she had collected many stunning pairs from all over the places and they straight made way to her wardrobe. And remained there. She never wore them. Each one was lavishly elegant in its way. It was one of her most prized possessions. For her, acquiring heels was an experience and she never minded spending on them. When quizzed by friends on her fetish for high heels, she would say that something about it lends you a sexual energy and makes you want to be in control.

She was going to spend the evening with her longtime pals. She felt tall and she was happy.

Last week, she divorced her short husband.
