Sebastian Pabon The boots-Vicent Van Gogh

 

The Boots - Vicent Van Gogh
 
 
One day these boots were new,beautiful and a little bit hard, when its owner started to use them his feet got hurt,he decides to use doble sock because he couldn't walk,it was similar as when you have a pet and you need to trainner it, the man wanted to trainner his new boots.
The ownwer whose name was Peter bought his boots with some money thay he kept for a long time,yes, belive me he worked for many years only for his boots,so he need to feel confortable for at lest the next years with his new boots, he worked as a sellsman, he sold books, drama, fiction, romantic, horror , and childrens books, thas why he walks every single day monday to sunday eight hours at day, but with his new boots it was difficult because each fifteen minutes he stopped, took out his boots and massage his foot, it hurt too much.
Pedro was single, he loved read books so he spend the rest of the day at home reading his books.
Weeks later his new boots become as his best friend,they went together every were, Pedro was the happiest man in the world, he felt walking on clouds,and he started to sell as never before.
One sunny day Pedro woke up  took his boots on and walked far away, by a large path not only for selling his books, he wanted to admire the beautiful of his country, the mountains, the river, the trees and folowers , he listened to the nature as we listen to the music, enjoying each single second and noise, the birds, the leaves on the trees,and he imagine how flowers can talk  each to other , he found a special place and rest, reading his fiction book, that was about live in the space.
His boots were next to him during the time he spent every where. No all the days were sunny, the winter arrived and they had to walk on the water getting wet , but together.
Pedro become a succeful salesman, and he had to travel to other places selling his books, in one ocation he crossed a little river on feet , and then keep the way walking.
Peter was 40 years old when he bought his boots, now he is 45 years old, without family and friends,
with his job he could obtein new boots, but he didn't want he was happy with his old boots.
One day he crossed other river to arrive to other new place and the current of the river was very strong, as a consequence of these he lost one boot, he couldn't believe, he swam long and across the river only because he felt that he best friend were in dangerous, he only wanted save his friend, after 4 hours he found the boot and inmidiatly returned home.
Now Peter is 50 years old and he is sick, very sick he needs special attention and other shoes, but he only wants his old boots, doctor said that he needed to buy others more confortable, but he refuses  that idea even the idea to visit doctors, he hates them, but he wants to keep living a little more, he has to finish to read his new book that talks about friendship, so he walks every morning thery minutes, wearing his old and ugly boots.
The books is almost finish,this is Peter's thermometer, he knows that when he finish the story, God finish with his life, but he accepted this time,the correct time of timelife.
The story talks about a two friends one of them is sick,very sick, but his friend always is next to him, giving the medicine, reding books, feed him , etc.
Peter miss that kind of relashionship, he had never had something like this, only his boots, the thruth is that Peter has only his boots, and people say that he is sick of lack of love.
Peter died in his empty room , when the police arrive to his room only found a book a his boots, old ugly and sad boots, hos owner never againg is going to wear them everything is finished, the book, Peter's life and the old boots life too, they are going to miss a lot.The police took the book one of them kept the book to read, and the other took the boots and put in the trushcan , and this is the end of the boots story.

  1. Vicent van Vangogh is one of the most recognize artists of the last century and the paint that you choose is the correct one for your story, I think Pedro maybe dont realize that the material someday is gone or broken and he never look for a woman or a true friend, maybe because he was too involve in his books and in earn more money, finally he finish his life alone but with the two things that he enjoy books and boots, sometimes we could find support in different things in life in my case i found peace and support in my music and when i dance, Pedro found that peace reading and having his boots. :) I really enjoy reading your story. :)
