Mishaps and Missed Steps

By T C Cordwainer

A chilly Bonfire Night. A harmless trick. A total nightmare.

When Megan finds herself helpless and trapped inside a rickety wooden box cart on a freezing autumn evening, she thinks it's just a ridiculous prank that will end in minutes. But as a group of opportunistic teenage lads push her through the fog-drenched streets, they realize they can turn her predicament into a lucrative business venture.

From eager passersby to wealthy businessmen, the gang turns Megan's bare feet and soft shoes into the ultimate Guy Fawkes attraction, charging anyone willing to pay for a close-up smell. Speechless, shivering, and unable to break free, Megan can only endure the surreal humiliation as her footwear, and her dignity, are auctioned off piece by piece.

Vivid, tense, and darkly atmospheric, Mishaps and Missed Steps is a gripping tale of vulnerability, greed, and the bizarre twists a single night can take.

Will Megan ever make it home, or is she destined to be the gang's permanent money machine?
