Day 6: Going through some changes

It turned out that I was emptied into a machine to be vulcanized! I stuck onto my newly bonded rubber for dear life, hoping that we wouldn't all fall in. I was so scared that I heard myself breathe inside of the machine. Suddenly, it began to get extremely hot. I began to bubble and could feel myself practically melting. After being heated for about ten minutes, which felt like two hours, I was molded into an odd shape. It seemed that I was becoming...a shoe! Yes! I was becoming the sole and the outside of a....sneaker? Yes a sneaker! My tree would be so proud of me!
