Just another of my absurd ideas. At drama we had to make up sketches where we were shoes, and it's actually a really good way of making up characters. Just match a personality to the style of your shoe! So I thought I'd put it literally, so you know what I'm talking about :D
This is just a one-parter, by the way :p

The sound of the front door being closed rings out through the house. There is a moment of silence, then from the cupboard next to he front door there comes a voice.

Voice: Are they gone?

Another voice: Pinky! Sshhhh!

Pause

Voice: Yeah, I think they're definately gone. Turn on the lights Manny.

There is a shuffling sound, something climbs onto a box and leans against a switch. A dull light fills the cupboard, coming from a bulb hanging from the ceiling.
Inside the cupboard there are only shoes.

But the shoes are talking.

Pinky: (A fluffy boot) I knew they were gone

Jock: (A battered trainer) Oh shut up! We can never be too careful! I've been here long enough to know. We've had some close shaves before.

A group of flat girly shoes with different assortments of sequin patterns are huddled in the corner.

Blaze: (A pink sparkly flat girly shoe) I'm boiling. We never get out of here.

Lila: (Another flat girly shoe - multicoloured) Yeah. Naomi only wears Stardust now.

Stardust: (A black and silver kitten heel, huffing in the corner) Well, she's not wearing me now.

Pierce: (A shiny black shoe) Please, girls, I can barely hear myself think.

Jock: I'm sure there are more important things in the world than Naomi and Stardust or whatever.

Stardust: Yeah Lila, you fat cow

Moira: (A red welly) Girls! I'm sure Naomi likes all of you. It's me that's had my time. No one wears me any more.

Joss: (A strikingly clean white sneaker) Well, can you blame them? (He drawls smugly)

Moira: And that's enough from you too.

Pierce: Kids, please, can you just keep it down? some of us are trying to meditate.

Pinky: Huh?

Frosty: (A white flat girly shoe) He's trying to attain a "pure state of mind"

Blaze: Pure my ass

Stardust: You don't even have one of those honey

Moira: Language girls!

Jock: You tell them. If Greg was still around...

Joss: Yeah, we know, he would give us a good kick under the heel. But he isn't here, is he?

Pinky: Nope. There you go Jockyboy. Going to give us a kick yourself then?

Jock advances on Pinky, she cowers back into Frosty, Blaze and Lila. they push her back.

Stardust: Ooh, scared?

Pinky: (Mumbled) He said he'd kick me

The sound of keys in the door

Moira: Uhoh, sounds like they've forgotten something.

Pierce: It shouldn't sound like anything. SILENCE!

Moira twitches the light switch. the lights go out, just in time for the door to open and someone to enter the house.
