The wind was cold and nearly took people off their feet by its sheer force, couples huddled closer to each other while others zipped up their jackets and rubbed their arms to keep circulation.
Winter was here, this is what they expected but what they did not expect was the snow falling from the sky in large clumps. The town was slowly being covered white, making the skyscrapers turn into large Popsicles defying gravity.
The streets were full of people, the people's hands/arms were full of presents for loved ones or for ones they want to love, today was the eve of Christmas and the stores were being cleaned out by late shoppers.
One person navigated through the crowd of people, this person wore a white torn cloak that flowed behind them, they wore no shoes but had on long black pants that were also torn at the ends, the person was very short which indicated they were a child.
Their features were not able to be seen for they had their hood up, this person seemed to be in no hurry for they walked at a slow pace. The person stopped at a store and moved through the people till they walked through the front door of the store, the place was packed with people but the person ignored them and went to the help counter and dinged the tiny bell on the counter.
A man in a red vest came over to the counter and looked down at the figure, the person handed the man a slip, the man took it and read it and walked off. A few minutes later he came back holding a black box, he handed the box to the hooded person and smiled.
"Here you go, Merry Christmas!!" The man said happily and the hooded person nodded before leaving the store quickly, once outside with the box the person moved to an alley, they found the nearest non-soggy box and sat on it.
The person placed the box on their leg and opened the box, inside were shiny, black, belted, steel-toe boots; the person smiled and took the stuffing out of one shoe and pulled a pair of socks out of their pants pocket. The person put the socks on then carefully slid a boot on, it fit beautifully, the person zipped the back of the boot up and put the other one on; once the boots were on the person lifted their legs up and looked at the boots.
The person smiled and stood back up, they looked around and found a dumpster, they through the box into the dumpster and walked back into the throng of people, their life a little better.
