Jonathan was a brave little 7-year-old, his heart racing with excitement as his mother waved goodbye from their porch. For the first time, he ventured out alone, exploring the world around him without any constraints. His mother, just 21, had given him a rare freedom, trusting his instincts and hoping he'd avoid trouble.
The sun dipped below the horizon, shadows lengthening, and Jonathan grew more cautious. His playful steps turned into careful glances as nighttime edged closer. Tripping over the uneven sidewalk, Jonathan stumbled upon an unexpected sight—a pair of flimsy sandals. They were a gaudy shade of orange, far from his preference, and adorned with shiny sequins that seemed to dance in the streetlight.
"Ew, they're so girly!" Jonathan grimaced, edging away from them. But fate had other plans. As he attempted to bypass the sandals, a rogue stone caught his foot, sending him tumbling. His shoes and socks flew off, and in a bewildering twist, his bare feet landed squarely in the dreadful sandals.
Panic surged when the sandals tightened around his feet. His skin began to crack and age, shifting into a deep mahogany hue. The bright orange nail polish dazzled under the streetlight, causing another wave of disgust to wash over him. Frantic, Jonathan tried scraping off the polish, but his legs lengthened, slimmed, and soon, his entire body followed suit.
His once short-cropped hair flowed into vibrant, cascading waves of ebony, styled immaculately as if he had stepped out of a high-end salon. His eyes deepened into a rich brown, and his lips plumped up alluringly. A tightly fitting clubbing dress in a shimmering shade of gold clung to his transformed body. A purse, equally flashy and packed with makeup and items suited for skin like hers, materialized in his hand.
Memories shifted and morphed in his mind, erasing the young 7-year-old boy's essence and installing a new identity. She was now Andromeda Wilson, a fierce 54-year-old woman from New York, standing 5'9" and weighing a confident 140 pounds. Her bullhorn curls, synonymous with black woman's pride, framed her face elegantly. As her new reality solidified, so did her memories.
"Yvonne, can you believe I'm out barefoot?" She huffed at no one in particular, her voice now resonating with mature annoyance. Stepping into the streetlight, she spotted the hypnotic orange sandals.
Adjusting herself, Andromeda relished the moment of putting each sandal back on, her hands working with precision. She slipped her foot into the left sandal, securing the strap meticulously, and repeated the process with the right, ensuring every buckle was perfectly tight and comfortable. She rose to her full height, feeling powerful and poised.
She strutted toward a nearby window, her reflection a testament to her beauty. She posed confidently, flipping her hair back with a sultry smile. “Damn girl, you still got it!” she exclaimed, hips swaying as she twerked slightly to her reflection.
After a moment of admiring herself, Andromeda crossed her legs elegantly and reached into her purse, pulling out bold red lipstick and a mirror. She applied the makeup with skilled precision, admiring the striking balance of her new look.
Though it was getting darker and the street less familiar, Andromeda stayed strong. “Ain’t nothing out here scarier than me,” she said, although the darkness sent shivers down her spine often. Calming herself, she murmured, "Andromeda, girl, you got this," between each frightened glance.
“Let’s see, I’m 54, born July 8, 1969. From the fierce streets of New York, honey. This gold dress, baby, custom-made just for me. And these orange nails? Popping!” She hyped herself up, feeling marginally better.
Her irritation flared when she thought of her daughter, Lauren, aged 21. “Girl, always borrowing my shoes without asking. Ain’t old enough to even wear these,” she muttered, recalling telling Lauren to focus on age-appropriate activities. “These sandals aren't for kids. I used them for some wild nights—parties I regret some days."
Thinking back, she voiced mournfully about her past. "Wish I hadn’t gotten into those fights or drank too much,” Andromeda sighed, pulling out a sparkly scarf and wrapping it around her neck with flair.
Glancing at her sandals, she smiled nostalgically. “Got these beauties from Aunt Rosie. Love that woman. Owned these for 25 years, first wore them on my 30th birthday bash.” She chuckled to herself.
Eager for the night ahead, she grinned, "I can't wait to drink some wine tonight and meet up with my sistas, Sheila and Denise, and tease a couple fine niggas." Her evening was set, bare feet and all, strutting away from the confines of her past self and diving confidently into her present reality.
