James’s Expression of Freedom and Unexpected Transformation
James was a bundle of excitement as he stood at the doorstep, ready to step into the world outside alone for the first time. With his simple, childlike appearance, James was a slender seven-year-old—the kind whose sheer spirit transcended his slight, 3'9" frame and 50-pound weight. His straight, sandy blond hair fell just above his grey-blue eyes, and he was dressed in his favorite superhero-themed T-shirt and a pair of well-worn jeans, complete with sneakers and socks.
His mother, though only twenty years old, felt a swirl of protective anxiety. “Remember, James, stay close to the house,” she reminded him with a cautious yet loving smile.
“I will, Mom!” James replied enthusiastically before hopping down the steps and walking down the street, feeling more grown-up with every step.
As dusk began to settle, the streetlights flickered to life, casting long shadows that danced in the ever-creeping darkness. James felt a pang of confusion as he realized he had ventured farther than intended. Just as he was about to turn back, he spotted something on the ground—a pair of skimpy sandals. They were a striking shade of turquoise with thin, delicate straps and rhinestones that glistened despite the waning light. They didn't appeal to James; in fact, he scrunched his nose in disgust. “Eww, those are so girly!” he muttered, intent on avoiding them.
Suddenly, James tripped over an uneven part of the sidewalk, losing his balance. His sneakers and socks flew off as he tumbled, and by some strange twist of fate, his bare feet slipped directly into the sandals. Repulsed, James immediately kicked them off, but he couldn’t ignore the odd tingling sensation that started at his feet, spreading rapidly.
To his horror, his feet began to transform. They darkened to a rich, brown shade as his toenails morphed and sported a vibrant coat of crimson polish. “Mommy! Help!” he screamed, frozen in terror as he watched the changes race up his legs. His limbs elongated, becoming more feminine, and his youthful torso matured into the shape of a grown woman.
His once-small hands stretched, the fingers slenderizing and developing long nails painted in the same eye-catching crimson hue. His skin turned the same deep brown shade as his feet. He could feel the tingling invade his face and head; his features contorted, matured, and feminized. His hair darkened into a cascade of luscious black curls styled in an intricate pattern, characteristic of a stylish African-American woman. His clothes morphed into a skimpy, sultry dress for clubbing, shining vibrantly in the streetlights—a bold, deep turquoise that matched the discarded sandals. A fashionable purse materialized on his shoulder, silver with intricate beadwork, containing cosmetics, a wallet filled with cash, and identification only fit for an adult woman.
As his memories began to slip and transform, James fought to hold onto thoughts of his mother, his home—but they faded, replaced by new ones of another life entirely. He—no, she—clung to the identity forming in her mind: Zenobia Johnson, a proud, 51-year-old woman with a September 2, 1971, birthdate. With a height of 5'8" and weight at a confident 145 pounds, she hailed from the vibrant state of New Jersey.
The worst prejudice Zenobia ever faced was in 1989, at the age of 18, when she was unjustly denied employment because of her race. “I won’t ever forgive that,” Zenobia spat angrily, remembering the unfairness with a frown.
Suddenly aware of her bare feet, Zenobia complained loudly, "Oh no, risking ruining my perfect nail job on my toes!” She spotted the turquoise sandals and sat down with exasperation. She delicately slipped each foot into a sandal, adjusting the straps for a perfect fit.
Zenobia stood, checking her purse and giving it a subtle tug to ensure it sat just right. She strutted down the road, her eyes catching her reflection in a store window. Setting her purse down, Zenobia posed with flair, puffing up her lips, arching her back, showcasing her curves. “Mmm, girl, you look fine!" she exclaimed, hyping herself up.
Running her hands over the curves of her body, Zenobia admired her appearance—from her elegant red nails to the very sandals she stood in. "Look at these nails, this figure, these perfect feet!" she complimented herself, lost in the moment of self-appreciation.
The night intimidated her slightly, but she calmed herself with a series of affirmations. “I am Zenobia Johnson, proud 51-year-old born on September 2, 1971. I’m from New Jersey, and look at my stunning turquoise dress and those fabulous sandals! These red nails, honey, are on point. I handled that job discrimination like a queen back in '89, and here I stand, unbroken.”
She thought of her kids with a motherly smile, recalling their names and ages. She chuckled, reminiscing about her youngest daughter, who constantly tried to wear her clothes and stole these very same sandals once. Angrily, she muttered, "She’s way too young for these!"
Reflecting on the person who gifted her the sandals, Zenobia whispered, “Oh, I love her for these. She has such great taste.”
Spying her reflection once more, Zenobia couldn’t help but strut and dance, shaking her hips, complimenting herself in a loud, joyous cry, “Look at me, Mom! Look at me, New Jersey! Beyoncé’s got nothing on this queen!"
Hearing a sound, Zenobia clutched her purse in fear, her heart racing. “Hell nah,” she muttered under her breath, “nigguh is trippin’ if they think they can scare me. I may be black, I may be 51, but I am one fierce woman. Anyone messin' with me is a coward.”
With a final whip of her head and a sass-filled strut, Zenobia continued down the road, embracing the night with a confident glow.
