**The Transformation of James**
Little James had waited for this moment for what felt like a long time. The skinny, tow-haired boy, standing just three and a half feet tall and weighing a mere 45 pounds, was beaming with excitement. His blue eyes sparkled as his 20-year-old mother gave him a reassuring smile.
"You be careful out there, alright? Don't talk to strangers and come back home before it gets dark," his mom reminded him one last time.
James nodded eagerly, the light blonde curls atop his head bouncing with his enthusiasm. Clad in his favorite Spider-Man t-shirt, denim shorts, and red sneakers, James felt ready for his first solo adventure around the neighborhood.
The initial thrill of independence was exhilarating. He walked down the familiar streets, each step feeling like a tiny victory. Time seemed to fly, and before he realized it, the sun had begun its descent, painting the sky in shades of orange and purple.
James's excitement started to wane as the shadows grew longer. He found himself in an unfamiliar part of the neighborhood. Confusion began to take over as he desperately tried to retrace his steps. As nightfall approached, the uncertainties around him multiplied.
In his wandering, James's attention was suddenly caught by a pair of sandals lying on the side of the path. They weren't pink, but a bright azure blue, adorned with sequins that glimmered in the fading light. He instinctively wrinkled his nose.
"Ew, too girly!" he exclaimed, intending to avoid them. However, moments later, a loose brick on the sidewalk caught his foot, and he tripped. His sneakers and socks flew off, and his small feet stumbled directly into the sandals.
"Gross!" James yelled, quickly kicking off the sandals in disgust. But as soon as he did, a strange sensation washed over him. His feet began to tingle, then crack and change. They turned a dark brown, and his toenails became polished with a vibrant turquoise color.
"Mommy!" he screamed in horror, watching helplessly as his legs, torso, arms, and hands shifted, feminized, and matured. His fingernails elongated and painted the same turquoise hue. His hair darkened to a deep black, styled in thick, luscious waves radiating from his now brown face. His denim shorts and t-shirt melted away, replaced by a skimpy clubbing outfit—a tight sequined dress in shimmering gold, accompanied by a matching clutch purse. Inside the purse were a compact mirror, a set of keys, a crimson lipstick, and a smartphone.
James fought with all his might against the shifting memories. He couldn't let go of who he was. But the struggle was futile, and soon all he could remember was being Lorraine Simmons, a ton-toned 50-year-old woman hailing from New York.
Lorraine glanced around, distinctly annoyed. "Damn white folks," she muttered under her breath, the worst experience she ever had lurking at the back of her mind. "Some punk kid callin' me a... you know what, let's not go there." She found herself getting angry just thinking about it.
Looking down at her feet, Lorraine noticed she'd risked her pedicure. "Ugh, I can't believe I did that," Lorraine groaned loudly, spotting her sandals. Wondering how she had lost them, she sat down carefully. One by one, she slipped them on, slowly adjusting each strap until they fit perfectly. Standing up, she adjusted her purse and strutted down the road, her hips swaying confidently.
Passing a store window, Lorraine spotted her reflection and set her purse down. She posed this way and that, proudly flaunting her curves. "Look at you, girl! You still got it!" She hyped herself up, running her hands over her body: from her ample chest to her curvy hips, down to her perfectly manicured feet.
Suddenly, the encroaching darkness gave her pause. She steeled herself, stating confidently, "I'm Lorraine Simmons, 50 years young, born April 12, 1973. I'm a New Yorker through and through. This dress shows off my curves, and these sandals? They match my nails perfectly. Worst thing? Being called that heinous word at 25, but I rose above it, didn't I?"
She murmured softly to herself, "Got these shoes from Michael... I love that man."
Seeing her reflection once more, Lorraine admired herself, dancing and shaking her hips. "Thank you, mama, for these curves. Thank you, Lord, for making me a black woman!" she cried out, feeling a pang of emotion for her late mother.
She reached into her purse and took out a pair of hoop earrings and sunglasses, donning them with pride.
She also pulled out a small vial of perfume, spritzing herself for a confidence boost. Then, thinking of her children, she mused, "I love y'all, even though you get into my things." She thought about her 25-year-old son and 22-year-old daughter with warmth.
Suddenly, a noise startled her, clutching her purse tightly to her chest. She sped up, fearful, tripping slightly. Standing in front of another mirror, she looked herself up and down, feeling vulnerable.
"I may be from New York, honey, but I'm 50 years old," she declared, trying to regain her confidence. "And I still got the curves, though not like when I was young."
Despite the stress and the strange night, she found a measure of pride in her transformation, although she had no memory of once being a little boy named James.
