Eight-year-old Timmy was an adventurous little boy. With a mop of unruly blond hair and a collection of scrapes and bruises from all his explorations, he was a ball of infectious energy. On Saturdays, he often found himself at his best friend Marcus's house. Marcus's mom, Mrs. Jenkins, was always welcoming, her house filled with the scent of freshly baked cookies and the warmth of laughter.
One sunny afternoon, while the boys were playing hide and seek, Timmy dashed into Mrs. Jenkins's room to hide. In his haste, he accidentally knocked over a pair of her flip-flops. They weren't just any flip-flops; they were Mrs. Jenkins’s favorite ones, sparkling with sequins and a vibrant shade of pink. Without thinking, Timmy slipped his feet into them, giggling at the silliness of it.
A jolt ran through his body. He felt dizzy, the room spinning around him. When the dizziness subsided, Timmy staggered to his feet, only to find he was no longer inside Marcus's house. He was outside, and things looked different. He looked down and was shocked to see a pair of woman's hands where his small, chubby fingers should have been.
"What the..." he stammered, but the voice that came out was not his own. It was rich and decidedly feminine. He looked down at his body in horror—he was wearing a dress and had the figure of an adult woman.
He ran, or rather tottered, back to the house, his mind spinning with confusion and fear. When he caught his reflection in a window, he saw the face of Mrs. Jenkins staring back at him. Panic gripped him, but he couldn't remember why he was panicking. He no longer remembered being Timmy. All he knew was she was Mrs. Jenkins, a proud black woman and the mother of Marcus.
Entering the house, she found Marcus looking puzzled. He noticed immediately that his mother's expression was different, distant.
"M-mom? Are you alright?" Marcus asked hesitantly.
She nodded, perplexed by his reaction. “Of course, baby. Why wouldn't I be?”
Marcus's eyes widened, his heart pounding. Only a moment ago, his friend Timmy was running around in their house, and now his mom was acting strange, almost as if she didn't recognize him.
But Marcus noticed something even more unsettling. The way she talked was slightly off, as if she had forgotten her usual mannerisms and vocabulary. Timmy had been a carefree, innocent child, but now Mrs. Jenkins’s voice carried herself with an air of matter-of-fact confidence that Timmy would never have.
"Mama, you... you sure you're okay? You’ve been acting kinda weird since Timmy left," Marcus ventured, his voice trembling.
Mrs. Jenkins squinted at Marcus, trying to suppress her own confusion. "Ni—Marcus! What are you talkin' about? Ain't no need to be fussing over nothin'."
Marcus was taken aback. His mother never used words like that, not especially when referring to him. "Ni—Mom, Timmy was just here! You don't remember?"
A foggy cloud still lingered in her mind, trying to block out a memory she couldn’t quite grasp. The word felt strange coming from her, like she didn’t own it. She waved her son off, dismissing his concern. "Go wash up, Marcus. We got dinner to prepare."
Still unconvinced, Marcus stared intently at his mother’s face, searching for a sign that the friend he knew might still be somewhere inside. "N—Mom," he continued cautiously, “you sure you didn't hit your head or somethin'? You just seem... different.”
Mrs. Jenkins laughed it off, a melodic sound that echoed through the room. But deep inside, there was an echo of something else, something forgotten yet lingering.
"Go on, now," she said, her voice back to its comforting, nurturing tone. "I’ll be here, don't you worry."
Marcus nodded reluctantly but turned to leave the room, feeling more puzzled than ever. As he washed up, he couldn't help but wonder what had actually happened and whether he would ever see his friend Timmy again.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Jenkins began preparing dinner, slipping further into her role, her memories of Timmy fading like a dream upon waking. To her now, she had always been Mrs. Jenkins, never anyone else. Yet a part of her still felt a small disquiet, like she was a guest in her own life.
And thus, they continued their days, both changed in ways they couldn’t fully understand, each carrying a question that would never be answered.
