Title: A Quiet Evening Turned Upside Down

The year is 2024, and the sun is beginning to lower in the sky, casting long shadows over the suburban streets of Bellevue, Washington. Seven-year-old Connor, who was born on September 5, 2017, stands in front of his modest home, ready to embark on his first solo adventure. His 22-year-old mom, Jessica, had finally given him permission to walk to the nearby convenience store by himself. With her trust and encouragement, Connor felt braver than ever.

Connor is a typical second grader standing at 3'10" and weighing around 55 pounds. His straight, chestnut hair is cut into a neat bowl style, and his large, inquisitive green eyes are filled with excitement. Today, he is wearing a red t-shirt with a superhero emblem, blue denim shorts, and his favorite pair of blue sneakers. Packed with a small backpack filled with money from his mom to buy whatever he wants, he feels ready for the world.

As he waves goodbye to his mom, holding his good luck charm—a small, worn-out teddy bear named "Cuddles"—he promises to return soon. However, the journey takes an unexpected turn when Connor realizes he’s walked into an unfamiliar part of the neighborhood.

The sun continues its descent, cloaking the area in twilight. Nightfall is approaching, and Connor feels a nervous chill creep up his spine. He clutches Cuddles tightly, hoping the charm's magic will guide him. Yet, his surroundings grow stranger and more ominous.

Suddenly, Connor’s attention is drawn to a peculiar assortment of items laid neatly by the side of a patch of grass. A pair of gold and turquoise flip-flops, distinctly feminine but not pink, catch his eye. A shimmering purse lies beside them, half-open, revealing essential items such as lipstick, a compact mirror, an ORCA card, an EBT card, and a driver's license. Connor reads the name: Layla Hassan. Layla is a 47-year-old woman, born on December 15, 1976. Standing at 5'6" and weighing around 140 pounds, Layla has curly, dark brown hair, warm brown eyes, and hails from Jordan.

Connor feels a wave of confusion and worry wash over him. He decides to avoid the strange items and hurries away, but his foot catches on something hidden in the grass. He stumbles, his shoes and socks fly off, his backpack spills its contents, and Cuddles is sent tumbling out of reach.

He trips, falling directly into the flip-flops. A wave of disgust overwhelms him as he tries desperately to shake them off, but his feet are inexplicably glued to the sandals. As he watches in horror, his small feet begin to crack and age, turning a darker shade of bronze and reshaping into a more feminine form.

“Mommy! I don’t wanna be a girl!” he screams, his panic echoing in the gathering darkness.

The change spreads from his feet up his legs, transforming his small frame into that of an adult woman. His skin smoothes and darkens, the bronze tone extending up his torso and chest, reshaping his body into curves unfamiliar to him.

His arms and hands follow, becoming delicate and refined. His face, once marked with a child’s innocence, matures rapidly, his eyes becoming sultrier, framed by long lashes. His voice shifts, becoming softer, in a distinctly feminine pitch. His chestnut hair lengthens, curling into a rich, dark cascade.

His clothes transform into a flowing, elegant Middle Eastern gown, paired with a hijab that frames his delicate features. Memories of being Connor fade, replaced by those of Layla Hassan, a woman complete with life experiences and responsibilities.

Layla adjusts her hijab, ensuring her appearance is perfect. “I am beautiful," she murmurs, her English broken and heavily accented. "Ana 'jameela."

A nearby rustling sound startles her, making her jerk her head in fright. She glances around nervously, her heart pounding in her chest. Switching to Arabic, she braces herself for what might come. “من هناك؟" ("Who is there?")

With no memory of ever being a little boy named Connor, Layla stands ready—lost, but strangely composed, in the quiet evening that has irrevocably turned her world upside down.
