As dusk settled over the sleepy suburban neighborhood, seven-year-old Jonathan felt an exhilarating mix of freedom and anxiety. For the first time, his 21-year-old mom had given him permission to explore the neighborhood alone. The street was quiet, with crickets beginning their evening song. Jonathan’s primary objective was simple: reach the corner store and buy the candy his mom had promised him. But as nighttime approached, the world seemed to grow exponentially larger and more intimidating.
Jonathan's small sneakers slapped against the pavement, his confidence waning with every step. Then, out of the dimming light, he stumbled upon a pair of skimpy sandals lying haphazardly on the sidewalk. They were an odd, metallic purple color, shimmering faintly under the lamplight, with flimsy straps and cheap-looking adornments.
“Ew, girly sandals,” Jonathan muttered, his face scrunching up in disgust. He aimed to walk around them, giving them as wide a berth as possible. But in his effort to avoid the shoes, Jonathan misjudged the sidewalk's incline and tripped. His own shoes and socks seemed to take flight, and through some inexplicable twist of fate, he slipped into the sandals.
Panic washed over him as he tried to kick them off, but his feet refused to cooperate. Instead, they began to age rapidly, skin cracking and darkening into a rich brown hue. A bright, bold nail polish in electric blue shot up his toenails. Clutching his feet with a mixture of terror and revulsion, Jonathan felt his legs extend and reshape into a more feminine form.
“No, no, no!” he cried, his voice trembling.
His transformation continued. His skin darkened, adopting the same brown shade as his feet. His clothes morphed into a skimpy, bright red clubbing outfit, hugging every new curve. He could feel his memories slipping away, replaced by a flood of different thoughts and experiences.
His hair morphed into a cascade of thick, vibrant black curls, styled into an elaborate updo. As he glanced at his reflection in a nearby store window, he noticed his eyes had turned a deep brown, and his lips had plumped into a perfect pout.
“I'm Vanessa Johnson,” the woman whispered to herself, feeling entirely at odds with the child she had been moments before. “I'm 52 years old. My birthday is June 7, 1971. I’m from North Carolina, and I'm 5’8” and weigh 150 lbs.”
A slick, shiny purse materialized on her arm. It contained foundation, setting powder, a hairbrush, and a dazzling array of lipsticks—colors that complimented her skin tone. She fished out a compact mirror and makeup brush, adding a quick touch-up to her look. She also found a pair of oversized hoop earrings and clipped them on, completing her transformation.
Spotting a mirror on the street, Vanessa strutted over, her hips swaying confidently. She posed, one hand on her hip, the other behind her head, her facial expression exuding self-assuredness.
“Girl, you are fabulous!” she said, loudly hyping herself up. “Look at those legs! Mm-mm, those sandals sure do make them pop!”
Vanessa crossed her legs and admired herself for a moment before rummaging through her purse again, pulling out an elegant silk scarf and tying it around her neck. Despite the creeping darkness, a cold shiver ran through her.
“Well damn,” she muttered, her voice trembling slightly. “Calm down, Vanessa. You ain't afraid of no dark. You are a strong, independent woman.”
“I'm 52, baby, and proud of it. My birthday is June 7, 1971. I’m from North Carolina, and this dress? Perfectly red, darling. My nails are electric blue, and these sandals? Stunning in metallic purple.”
Rising to her feet, she began to strut down the sidewalk again, her self-assured walk punctuated by flirty glances tossed to imaginary admirers.
“Ooh, lookin' fine tonight,” she said to herself. “Gonna tease a couple of fine niggas, just you wait.”
She paused and sighed, thinking about her family. “My daughter, Tamika, who's always borrowing my shoes without asking. She was too young to be wearing these. Girl needs to focus on her schoolwork instead.”
Reflecting on her past, Vanessa frowned. “I did things I ain't proud of, working those streets. Hustling when I had no other choice. But Tamika better not go down that path. I will tan her hide if she tries.”
From her purse, Vanessa pulled out a glittery clutch and strutted ahead, head held high. Admiring her shoes, she whispered, “I got these from my best friend, Lynda. Love that woman.”
“I can't wait to drink some Hennessy tonight and meet up with my sistas Latasha and Keisha, and maybe tease a couple fine niggas,” she concluded aloud, nodding to herself as she strutted off into the night.
