Seven-year-old James stood at the doorstep, nervously clutching his small backpack. His blonde hair was cut short, but a few locks fell across his forehead, just brushing his bright blue eyes. At 3 feet 10 inches and weighing about 43 pounds, James was a small, wiry figure dressed in a graphic tee featuring his favorite superhero, blue denim shorts, and red sneakers with white socks. His 20-year-old mom, Mary, had finally given him permission to venture out alone for the evening, a rite of passage he had eagerly awaited.
"Stay close to home,” she had instructed him, her voice a mix of concern and pride. "And come back before it gets too dark."
James nodded dutifully before stepping out. The early evening sun cast long shadows as he began his exploration, each step filled with the excitement of newfound freedom. But as the moments ticked by and daylight began to fade, he found himself wandering farther than intended, the familiar houses becoming less recognizable.
He was almost ready to turn back when he noticed something unusual. Lying in the middle of the sidewalk was a pair of skimpy sandals. Glittering in the faint light, they were a vibrant teal, not the pink James actively avoided because they seemed too girly for him. The sandals, with thin straps that wove into delicate patterns, lay discarded oddly in the middle of the pathway.
"Eww," he muttered, feeling repulsed. He stepped around them gingerly, his eyes focused on the unfamiliar paths. But as he took his next step, he tripped over a loose stone. His sneakers and socks flew off, and before he could regain his balance, his bare feet stumbled into the very sandals he intended to avoid. Instant disgust washed over him as he kicked them off quickly, shivering at the tingling sensation that crept up his legs.
"What is happening?" he muttered in confusion. His young feet began to crack and transform, turning a dark brown as vibrant red toenail polish appeared.
“Mommy!” he screamed, watching in horror as his legs and torso morphed. His skin darkened, and his body elongated, maturing rapidly. His cheeks rounded out, his hair growing longer and thicker, settling into a style typical of a black woman.
Within moments, James was visibly no longer a small, lost boy but a statuesque black woman in her mid-fifties. Her skimpy clubbing outfit, a tight, sequined dress with a plunging neckline, formed on her body. A chic purse materialized, containing makeup, a mirror, keys, and a wallet filled with various cards and cash.
She scanned her surroundings, disorientation mingling with the new memories forcing their way into her mind. Names, places, and an entirely different life... The name Cynthia Washington settled in her psyche. “Cynthia,” she whispered, a slow smile forming as her backstory settled. With the loss of James’s memories, her own identity solidified.
"I'm Cynthia," she declared proudly. "I'm 55 years old, born April 23, 1968, in Raleigh, North Carolina.” Her accent flared as she spoke, imbued with sass and warmth. She remembered the worst insult she'd ever received when a customer in her store had called her the "laziest employee" merely for taking a break. "Laziest employee, my ass! That crac___," she grumbled, thinking back.
Barefoot, she loudly lamented, "Aw, hell, I could ruin my pedicure out here!" Glancing down, she spotted the teal sandals. "Oh yeah, I wasn't wearing my shoes 'cause I kicked them off to scratch my feet," she remembered. Cynthia gathered the sandals, adjusted her purse, and strode confidently down the road.
Spotting her reflection in a storefront window, she couldn't resist striking poses, her hands holding her purse high as she pouted. She then set it aside, swinging her hips in exaggerated movements, a hand running over her curvaceous figure. "Damn, girl, you fine!" she hyped herself up, admiring the smoothness of her dark brown skin, the vibrant red nails, and the voluptuous curves.
While nighttime's approach initially intimidated her, she calmed herself, repeating facts. "I'm Cynthia Washington, 55 years old. Born April 23, 1968, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Chose this outfit 'cause it makes me feel alive, bought it from Macy's for $150. These sandals, a gift from my dear friend Lisa. Got my nails done at 'Tina's Nail Salon’ for fifty bucks.”
Thinking back about her answers proudly, she admired her reflection while prancing her hips. She lovingly whispered, "Oh, Lisa, you always know how to spoil me."
She paused to dance, shaking her hips joyfully, “Thank you, Mama, for these curves! Born and raised in Raleigh, you made me a proud black woman. Rest in peace.”
Pulling out a sequined bracelet and a flashy necklace from her purse, she adorned herself proudly, then retrieved her compact mirror to check her makeup. With an eye on her cards and cash, she considered a new pair of fashionable earrings to match her outfit.
Thinking of her kids brought a smile to her face. "My Lilian, just eight, always gettin' into my things,” she chuckled.
A sudden noise made her clutch her purse tightly to her chest. Nervously speeding up, she tripped again, now facing a reflection of herself. She inspected her entire figure, from the new teal sandals to her mature, gorgeous face. "I may be from Raleigh, nigga, but I'm 55 years old,” she flirted with her reflection. "What am I even doin' out here in this dress and sandals?"
"Oh that's right,” she laughed, “I was going to the club, must've got distracted by that fine-ass man. He look like Idris Elba… mmm, probably has a big dick. I’m gettin' all worked up just thinkin' about him."
Deciding to sit down and admire her transformation, she detailedly and proudly slipped the teal sandals back onto her feet. Watching herself strut in the mirror, she moved with pride, her sandals clopping rhythmically against the ground, each sassy motion highlighted.
Her old sneakers and socks came into view, and as she brushed against them, she recoiled in horror. "Ew, nigga, I just felt these nasty ass crusty ass shoes that ain't even mine. I'd never wear those... way too boyish, I only ever wear fabulous heels or stylish sandals on my feet.”
Cynthia continued her confident journey, embracing her new identity, filled with pride, sass, and an undisrupted sense of self.
