I’ve never been so scared in my life.
It began with a single bee sting while my daughter ran barefoot in the park. She screamed, clutching her leg, then suddenly her throat started closing. The ambulance came fast, but not fast enough.
That night, she slipped into a coma. Doctors spoke in grim terms—anaphylaxis, rare reaction, no guarantees. I never left her side, watching the heart monitor’s steady beep, hoping she’d wake.
On day fifteen, she twitched her fingers, then opened her eyes—alive but confused. Then she said something chilling: “Where’s the man with the red shoes? He’s waiting for me.”
I thought it was just coma confusion until, days later, a man in a dark coat with glowing red shoes appeared in her hospital room. He smiled coldly and said, “She’s been given a second chance, but she wasn’t meant to wake up. I’m here to collect what’s mine.”
I blocked him, refusing to let him take her. He warned me she wasn’t supposed to cross back, that she was on the wrong path now.
Then he left, saying, “You’ll find the truth, but you won’t like it.”
Afterward, my daughter whispered, “Mom… the man with the red shoes… he’s right. I wasn’t supposed to wake up.”
I don’t understand it all, but I know her life—and ours—has changed forever. Now, I’m determined to uncover the truth behind that strange visitor and what it means for my daughter.
