Small, pale arms draped the green shirt over his body, and James looked up at his mom with bright, expectant blue eyes. "Are you sure, Mama?" he asked, adjusting the strap of his little backpack.
"Yes, Jay-Jay, I'm sure." At twenty, Marissa had watched her tiny boy grow into an adventurous seven-year-old with wispy blonde curls that framed his face. "Just be back before it gets dark, okay?"
James nodded, his head barely reaching his mother's hip at 3'6" and tipping the scales at just 45 pounds. His worn sneakers matched the rugged hope for a day's adventure.
The sun's descent cast long shadows, and Jay-Jay walked with increasing uncertainty. He scoured familiar streets that suddenly seemed alien. As twilight embraced him, his path became a labyrinth he couldn't navigate. Panic bubbled within when something odd caught his eye: a pair of sandals—skimpy and white, left abandoned beside a lamppost.
"Ew," James muttered, wrinkling his nose at the sight. "Those are too girly." He took a step to avoid them and promptly tripped over something unseen. His sneakers and socks flew off, and his feet stumbled into the sandals.
"Ew! Gross!" he cried, kicking off the offending shoes as a strange tingling consumed his feet. He watched in horror as his skin darkened to a rich, earthy brown, his toenails morphing into vibrant red polished nails. "Mommy!" he screamed, tears streaming down his face.
And that was just the beginning. His legs elongated and curved, taking on a sensuous maturity. His slender arms transformed, hands becoming elegant with similarly polished nails. His torso followed suit, filling out into a mature woman's hourglass shape. His hair turned thick and black, styled in intricate waves.
A lacey, red dress materialized on his body, short and figure-hugging, with a matching purse appearing on his shoulder. It was a rich, deep red that screamed 'night out.' The purse contained keys, a bright green wallet, a ruby-red lipstick, and a little compact mirror.
"No! Stop!" He pleaded as memories shifted like sand under his feet. Little James was disappearing, replaced by memories of a woman who lived a different life. Yet he struggled, hanging onto himself for as long as his childlike mind could muster.
The metamorphosis completed, and now she stood, a confident, 50-year-old woman, fully formed and fierce. She was no longer James but Chantel Jackson. Born in 1973, her 5'9" frame carried a confident 160 pounds. Her full lips parted as she tried to make sense of it all. She lived her life in the vibrant blues and rich purples of Michigan, her home state.
"Where are my sandals?" she muttered, bewildered and momentarily barefoot. "Don't wanna mess up my pedicure." She spotted them and picked each one up, securing the straps carefully, adjusting them to fit her perfectly.
Standing up, she took a moment to adjust her purse before strutting down the road. She caught her reflection in a shop window, and a sly smile crept across her face. Chantel set her purse down, striking poses: her lips pursed, eyes gleaming with self-assurance. "Look at you! Hot stuff!" she praised herself. Her hands traced over her generous curves, her hips, the elegant span of her legs, and finally, her manicured nails.
The night seemed menacing, shadows inching closer. “My name’s Chantel Jackson, 50 years bold. Born May 15th, 1973, from good ol' Mich’gan.” She grinned, the gleam of pride lighting up her face. "I'm wearin' this fierce red dress, pairin' with these fly white sandals. Look at ma nails, same red as my toes. Ska-reee!"
She thought lovingly of her children, especially her mischievous daughter who was always 'tryna' swipe her clothes and shoes. "Jus' like dis pair she swiped before," Chantel muttered, shaking her head.
Love from her children calmed the initial storm, planting thoughts of the best memories and who had gifted the shoes. "Mama, you sure had good taste," she whispered, smiling at the memory of her late mother.
Chantel caught her reflection again and couldn’t resist dancing, shaking her hips in carefree circles. “Look at me, Ma! Thanks for these curves, thanks for makin’ me, a Michigan queen!” Her eyes welled up as she recalled the woman who made her the person she was today.
She reached into her purse, pulling out hoop earrings and sliding them on with a practiced ease. A travel-sized perfume bottle followed; a spritz here, a dab there, and she was ready.
A noise startled her, making her clutch her purse to her chest. "Hell nah!” she spat, eyes darting around. “Who finna mess with a queen from Mich'gan like me?”
Pride blazed in her dark brown eyes as she straightened, walking through the darkness, owning every step with an indomitable strut. James was no more, lost entirely to the woman who had taken his place.
