Kerry was set to serve a thirty-five year sentence for the crime he had committed. That would be a long time in prison starting at the age of twenty-six. He would be a sixty-one year old man by the time he would be released. When he was told about the Criminal Rehabilitation into Society program or the CRS program that would shorten his sentence down to just five years, he was quick to volunteer for the program. He didn't know the specifics, but it sounded better than serving thirty-five years in prison.
Two weeks later, Officer Henry took a picture in front of the mirror in the bathroom at the police station. He had received a new pair of boots for work. The new pair of boots were a criminal who volunteered for the CRS program. He was to be his boots for the next five years. After completion of the five years, there would be a hearing board to determine if the boots were ready to be released into society as a valued citizen. He would be the one to testify if the boots or criminal was no longer a threat to society.
"I love the CRS program. It gave me the best pair of work boots ever. I might have to suggest that this guy needs more time on my feet." Officer Henry said to himself as he snapped a selfie picture in the mirror reflection. After five years, he might not want to give them up so easily. Wearing them for the past two weeks had his feet feeling so comfortable. He is on his feet so much, no pair of work boots felt this good. His feet used to hurt every night by the time he got home. The new boots had changed that. The insoles felt so comforting with each step. As for the criminal, he wasn't given a name or what his crime was. He was only told that the criminal was his boots for five years. At the end of that, he would be the determining factor if he could be reintegrated back into normal society. If not, he would have to spend another five years as his boots. Officer Henry was really considering the latter when it came time to the hearing board.
Kerry was really regretting his decision to go for the CRS program. He learned that his owner wearing him was Officer Henry. Sadly, the guy didn't know his name or crimes. He was just a pair of boots to him to wear. He also learned that his new existence was for the next five years, upon which Officer Henry had the soul witness account on which he should be back in society again or remain a pair of boots for another five years.
Kerry found that Officer Henry's feet reeked horribly by the end of the day. It only took just three days before the strong foot odor had completely saturated all of the insides of both boots. There was no escape from the smell. Some days, Officer Henry would wear the same pair of socks he wore the previous day or days. That foot odor pressing down on his face while his owner walked on him at work over and over without end. He would sometimes hear his owner joke about him as though he was just an inanimate object and not a person at all. It felt degrading. All he could hope is that the officer show some mercy in five years and release him. He couldn't take another five years of being his boots. Just these two weeks had him missing his prison cell.
