The early evening sun cast long shadows across the suburban streets as seven-year-old James, a small, slender boy with sandy blonde hair falling just above his eyebrows, and bright blue eyes, bounced out of his front door. His white t-shirt and blue denim shorts were as fresh as his excitement, with his little white sneakers hugging his tiny feet comfortably. His mother, barely out of her teenage years herself at twenty, smiled warmly at him from the porch.
"Have fun, James! But remember, come back before dark," she called out with a hint of apprehension.
"Okay, Mama!" James replied, his voice filled with exhilaration and a touch of innocence as he set off on his adventure.
James was a curious soul, eager to explore the world beyond his usual walking routes. As the orange hues of the sunset began to dim, he wandered further than he'd ever gone before. The familiar houses and trees started to blur into an unfamiliar labyrinth. The air grew cooler, and James noticed that fewer people were out and about.
As night fell, James found himself on a poorly lit street, his little heart beginning to race with uncertainty. Suddenly, something odd caught his eye: a pair of skimpy sandals lying abandoned on the sidewalk. They were a startlingly vivid shade of red, with thin straps and an air of carelessness about them, something he couldn't miss even in the dim light. He scrunched his nose in disgust.
"Eww, why'd anyone wear those?" he muttered to himself, quickly deciding to steer clear of the too-girly footwear.
But fate seemed to have a different plan. Just as he turned to walk away, James tripped over a small rock hidden in the shadows. His sneakers and socks flew off in the unexpected tumble. As he tried to regain his balance, his bare feet inadvertently slipped into the sandals. A jolt of revulsion shot through him.
"Ew, ew, ew!" he yelped, kicking off the sandals forcefully. But it was too late. A strange tingling sensation spread across his feet. His skin began to crack and darken to a deep brown shade, while vibrant red toenail polish appeared almost magically on his nails.
"Mommy!" James screamed in horror. "Help me, Mommy!"
His legs and torso began to elongate and feminize, the skin turning the same deep brown. His small, childish frame rapidly matured, gaining curves he'd only seen on grown-ups. His arms followed suit, his fingernails lengthening and turning the same red color as his toenails.
James's face and head started to transform next. His features softened and matured, his sandy hair darkening and morphing into a thick, luscious black woman's hairstyle. A skimpy clubbing outfit materialized on his rapidly changing body â a snug, shimmering red dress that accentuated his new curves, and a matching purse formed in his hand, laden with makeup, a compact mirror, and a set of keys.
James's mind swirled in disoriented panic. Memories of his own childhood were now jumbled with memories foreign to him, of growing up in a different yet familiar world. He fought the changes, desperately clinging to who he used to be, but gradually, the memories of the seven-year-old boys were overshadowed.
Soon enough, only a confident, sassy 57-year-old Black woman known as Loretta remained. She stood at five foot nine, her vibrant brown eyes glowing with a blend of pride and experience. "I'm from Mississippi," she muttered to herself, her voice rich and assertive. "Ain't no way I'm lettin' nobody mess with me. Always gotta stay fierce."
A wave of anger washed over her as she recalled her worst experience: âThat no-good Tommy Johnson called me a âbroke nobodyâ when I was 25. 'Broke nobody?' I'll have you know I made more money than his sorry self ever did!"
Loretta glanced down at her pedicure, frowning. "Walkin' barefoot like this gonna ruin my pedicure! My feet could get all cut up and infected." She paused, noticing the red sandals. "Oh yeah, I wasnât wearinâ my shoes 'cause I kicked them off to ... uh ... clear my mind for a moment!"
She sat down, methodically sliding the sandals back onto her feet, adjusting each strap with care. Standing up, she swung her purse over her shoulder and strutted confidently down the road. She caught her reflection in a nearby store window, placing the purse down and striking several poses, her expression shifting from fierce determination to playful seduction.
"Girl, you still got it," she hyped herself up. "Look at these curves, and these nails. Damn, you're flawless!"
She let her hands caress her new figure, admiring the lines of her hips and waist, the smoothness of her legs, the delicate arch of her feet in those red sandals. "Look at you, Loretta. Ain't nobody finer than you," she said proudly. "Dem feet looking perfect in those sandals."
The night pressed in around her, making her feel vulnerable. "I may be from Mississippi,â she declared, âbut Iâm fifty-seven years old!â Her voice wavered slightly, but pride held firm. Some things changed, but pride and sass always remained.
"Nigga, what am I even doing out here in this dress and shoes?" she questioned herself aloud. "Oh that's right, I was going to⌠the grocery store. Must've got distracted with my beauty, and my shoes weren't on because I was givinâ my feet some air."
With a final look at her reflection, Loretta pulled two accessories from her purse â a pair of hoop earrings and a silver bracelet â carefully putting them on. She smiled at her reflection, whispering, "I may be scared, but I'll always have my kids. Now that's somethin' worth fightinâ for." Her thoughts wandered to them, and she smiled tenderly.
"Love my babies, but that little girl of mine keeps gettin' into my things without askin'. Gotta talk to her 'bout that."
At a sudden noise, Loretta clutched her purse to her chest in fear, speeding her steps down the road. The sounds persisted, making her heart race until she stumbled again, catching herself in front of another mirror. Starting from her feet in the red sandals, she examined herself up to her face, taking comfort in her appearance even while feeling threatened.
"I may be from Mississippi, nigga, but I'm fifty-seven years old!" Loretta reaffirmed, staring at her strong yet matured frame. "You may not be as fit as you once were, girl, but you still look fine in every single way."
"Nigga, what am I even doing out here in this dress and shoes?" she wondered aloud again. "Oh that's right, I was going to admire myself - must've got distracted with my beauty and my shoes weren't on because I was restinâ my feet!"
She continued on her way but not before another fervent whisper, âI love them shoes⌠and the person who gave them to me, thank you, Jesus, and Mama, for making me the woman I am today.â
She added another touch of lipstick from her purse and a spritz of perfume before moving on her way, strutting proudly into the night with new strength and resolve.
