Savannah, Georgia. 1981
Busy streets ahead, cars buzzing by, a feather slowly drifting down upon my shoulder, as I cross the busy street. The feather getting whisked back up, slowly drifting back down once more, landing gently on a stopped car. The car violently drives off causing the feather to continue it's journey. I sat on the bus bench as it slowly drifted and came to a stop on my muddy shoes. The feather, it made me have an odd look as I picked it up and moved the box of chocolates from on-top of my suitcase.
I opened the case, pushing aside clothes, my ping pong paddle, toothpaste, and many other personal items, I then pull out a book, titled "Curious George" my all time favorite book, and place the feather in a random page of the book. Then slowly place it back in the case, closing it.
I stare off into nothingness. Until of course the sound of a bus pulling up distracts me from this other world. I sit there, on the bench not moving an inch. I see a brown bear, in a nurses outfit, quickly step off the bus and take a seat next to me. She pulled out a magazine, causing me to look at her.
"Hello my name is Flippy Gump." I said a warm smile upon my face as I open the box of chocolates and offer her some. "You want chocolate?" she shakes her head, turning her attention back to the magazine.
"I could eat about a million and a half of these. My momma always said, 'Life was like a big box of chocolates. You never know what your gonna get." I said, taking a piece of chocolate and placing it in my mouth, enjoying the richness of the chocolate itself. Then I find myself starring at her shoes.
"Those must be comfortable shoes. I'll bet you could walk all day in shoes like that and not feel a thing! I wish I had shoes like that." I say.
Finally looking up from her magazine, she says. "My feet hurt."
"Momma always says there's an awful lot you can tell about a person by their shoes. Where there going, where they've been." she stares down at my shoes. "I've worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes." I close my eyes tightly before I continue."Momma said they'd take me anywhere."
GreenBow, Alabama 1951 (Doctor's office)
I close my eyes tightly as I sit in the doctors office. I thought to myself what my momma had said. She said they where magic shoes.
"All right, Flippy, you can open your eyes now. Lets take a little walk around." says the doctor before me. I stare down at my orthopedic shoes and metal leg braces, as he sets me down on my feet. I walk around stiffly as mother watches me.
"How do those feel? His legs are strong, Mrs. Gump. As strong as I've ever seen. But his back is as crooked as a politician." the doctor said. The clack was all that was herd as I passed them. I walked out the door, and clumsily tripped. Only a loud thud was herd as I fell.
"FLIPPY!" My mother yells as she comes to my side and helps me up. We then left, crossing the street, everything was fine. Until the moment I got my brace stuck in gutter gate.
"Just wait let me get it." she says, trying to free me from the gate. "Let me get it. Wait, get it this way. Hold on." I do as I am told and pull my leg from the gate. A warm smile upon my face. "Alright" she helps me up onto the side walk. As we look up we notice two old bears starring at us.
"Oooh alright. What are you all staring at? Haven't you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before?" she took my hand, walking past the two old bears, a tight grip on my hand. "Don't ever let anyone tell you there better than you, Flippy. If god intended everybody to be the same he'd given us all braces on our legs." I smiled. Momma always had ways of explaining this so I could understand them.
