### James' Unfortunate Detention
Seven-year-old James sat quietly in the corner of the dimly lit library, his large brown eyes welling up with tears. He’d been punished for something he didn't do, and the person responsible for his detention was the school’s oldest, strictest librarian, Miss Gertrude Beatrice Pickens. She was in her early seventies, precisely thirty-six years older than James' twenty-year-old mother, having been born in 1945. Miss Pickens had been a teacher at the school for nearly 50 years, a formidable figure standing at 5 feet 7 inches, weighing a little over 160 pounds. Her hair, meticulously styled in an old-fashioned bouffant, was steel grey, matching her piercing blue eyes behind old-fashioned cat-eye, horn-rimmed glasses. Her glasses were adorned with decorative silver motifs at the tips, adding a stern edge to her imposing look.
Miss Pickens always wore conservative, two-piece teacher outfits. Today, it was a charcoal gray knee-length skirt paired with a matching button-up jacket, each button held on by a vintage mother-of-pearl clasp. Her platform sandals, frayed at the edges yet polished, added a hint of elevation to her stance. Her toenails and fingernails were painted with a muted rose-hued polish. Around her neck, wrists, and ears, she wore a collection of old-fashioned jewelry: pearl necklace, matching pearl earrings, and a delicate diamond bracelet. Her wedding ring, a simple gold band with an engraved inscription inside, circled her ring finger, evidence of a past long gone.
James’ casual attire was a stark contrast to Miss Pickens' old-fashioned formality. He wore a faded blue T-shirt with a superhero logo, a pair of well-worn jeans, and scuffed sneakers. His hair was a messy mop of sandy blonde curls, framing his tear-streaked face. He clutched a small, ragged teddy bear, a gift from his mother, which provided him comfort amid his confused and distressed state.
Miss Pickens, noticing the bear, stood up abruptly and thumped her way over, her platform sandals echoing through the quiet library. "What do you have there, young man?" she demanded in her strict, authoritative tone.
James clung tighter to his bear, his voice trembling. "Please, Miss Pickens. It's my bear. My mom gave it to me. Please, don’t take it away."
"No, James. You will not have any toys during your punishment," she said, confiscating the bear and placing it in her desk drawer. "I have to step out for a moment. Do not move or misbehave while I am gone," she warned, glaring at him before exiting the room.
Once she left, James hesitated but couldn't resist the urge to retrieve the bear that offered him solace. He tiptoed to her desk, cautiously opening the drawer. His eyes scanned the contents, from her polished jewelry to the careworn sandals she had kicked off to relax. He gagged slightly, revolted by the old, girly shoes. "Ew, gross, girly, old lady shoes," he murmured, scrunching his face and sticking out his tongue.
As he grabbed his bear, he accidentally bumped into the desk, knocking his shoes and socks off. His bare feet slipped into the platform sandals, and he immediately kicked them off in horror. "No, no, no, no! No, Mommy, oh no! I don’t wanna be a girl! I don’t wanna be my meanie teacher!" he cried, tears streaming down his cheeks.
To his utter horror, his feet began to tingle, crack, and age, forming slight wrinkles. His toenails grew longer, painted the same muted rose hue as Miss Pickens'. "No, this can't be happening!" he screamed, frantically scraping at the nail polish.
But it continued. His legs transformed, losing their chubby, youthful shape, and becoming more slender and mature. His torso and chest followed suit, his form shifting into that of an aging woman. His arms and hands grew thinner and daintier, his fingernails extending and adopting the same rose-colored polish as his toes.
Terrified, James stumbled to a nearby mirror. He watched in horror as his face and hair morphed, taking on Miss Pickens' mature, elderly visage. His clothes transformed into the conservative two-piece outfit she always wore.
Memories started to fade, replaced by a lifetime of Miss Pickens' experiences. James fought hard to retain his identity, hoping he could be a nicer teacher, but it was in vain. Soon, all he remembered was being Miss Pickens, although minus her glasses, jewelry, and wedding ring for the moment.
She blinked in confusion, staring at her reflection. "What was I doing again? Oh, come on, Gertrude, you're seventy-three years old. You've been a teacher at this school for 50 years," she muttered, reprimanding herself for her brief lapse.
Moving back to the desk, she noticed her scattered jewelry and carefully began putting each piece on, starting with her earrings, then her necklace, and finally her bracelet. She slipped the wedding ring onto her finger, the simple gold band fitting perfectly. She placed her glasses back over her nose, the world immediately snapping into sharp focus.
Gertrude then shifted her attention to her platform sandals. She sat down, methodically slipping her foot into the first sandal, adjusting and tightening it to fit comfortably. She repeated the process with the second sandal, ensuring they were secure.
Standing up, she scanned the library before noticing the item she had confiscated earlier. Thumping over to it again, she bent down to pick it up. "I confiscated this from that young boy, James, and he had the audacity to take it back without my permission. His mother will be getting a stern letter from me to address this disobedient behavior at once. Nobody disobeys Miss Gertrude Pickens and gets away with it," she said sternly, slamming the drawer shut and retrieving James' discarded shoes and socks.
"Did that young man take off his shoes and socks to try on my sandals? How disrespectful! What was he thinking? These shoes are for women only, not little boys. How utterly improper," she muttered, inspecting his belongings with a mix of disdain and bewilderment.
Gertrude's eyes landed on an old photograph on her desk, a black-and-white image from 1960 showing her at twenty-five years old, vibrant and youthful with dreams of being a steadfast educator. She sighed. "I would have been twenty-five years old here, the year 1960. America was still a fine place to live, not like now with all these ungrateful youngsters," she lamented, placing the photo back down.
And like that, Miss Pickens resumed her duties, unaware of the child she once was, continuing her reign as the unyielding guardian of the school library.
