It’s 2020, in a quaint, quiet suburb of Ohio. Life feels simpler here, where the sun rises and sets with the same comforting routine. The streets are lined with charming, white picket fences and well-kept lawns, each house showcasing the love and care of its inhabitants.
In one such house resides a twelve-year-old boy named Ethan Thompson. Standing at 4'9" and weighing 85 pounds, Ethan is a lively presence with short, tousled brown hair and bright hazel eyes that seem to capture the glow of his kind-hearted spirit. His birthday, April 15, 2008, often marks the halfway point of spring, a season that mirrors his youthful buoyancy perfectly. This morning, he’s dressed in his favorite blue t-shirt featuring a classic superhero logo and a pair of comfortable cargo shorts, ready for an adventure.
Ethan’s mother, Claire Thompson, is a young and dedicated 28-year-old single parent who works tirelessly to ensure Ethan has everything he needs. Claire, born on June 12, 1992, has shoulder-length chestnut hair that she often wears in a ponytail and warm brown eyes that speak volumes of her nurturing nature. She stands at 5'6" and, despite the stresses of life, maintains a healthy weight of 140 pounds, feeling strong and resilient for her son.
Today, Ethan has been granted a special mission by his ever-supportive mom: to find the perfect gift for his secret crush, Olivia Grace. Olivia is the same age as Ethan, standing slightly taller at 5'1" and weighing around 90 pounds, with long, flowing blond hair that cascades like sunlight and deep blue eyes that remind Ethan of the clearest summer skies. Her birthday, May 20, 2008, places her just a bit older, a fact that Ethan finds endlessly endearing.
Embarking on this quest with $20 in hand, Ethan strolls towards the local shopping district, his mind buzzing with possibilities. As he ventures deeper into the area, his eyes catch sight of a charming, delicate necklace sparkling in the window of a small jewelry shop. It’s a simple silver chain adorned with a tiny heart pendant, perfect for Olivia.
With his mom’s money, Ethan purchases the necklace, feeling a rush of excitement about giving it to her. Clutching his prize, he begins his walk home, but soon realizes that in his enthusiasm, he’s wandered off the familiar path. The streets become unrecognizable, and buildings around him seem to cast daunting shadows, transforming from suburban coziness to a more gritty, industrial back alley scene.
Graffiti-laden walls and rusting vehicles hint at uneasy stories. Piles of discarded items and trashed furniture mark the territory of those less fortunate. As he navigates this uncharted area, unease prickles at Ethan’s nerves. The faces he sees are haggard, worn by time and hardship, eyes peering past him with indifferent coldness.
Amidst the clutter, a peculiar sight catches his eye: a bright pink backpack sprawled open with feminine items strewn about—makeup, a hairbrush, and a few old magazines. Nearby, several large, worn tote bags lean against a cracked brick wall, and a tiny, overused purse lies abandoned beside a shabby pair of platform flip flops with thin, worn straps and slightly dirty soles.
Trying to skirt past, Ethan loses his footing over a protruding broken pipe, and in the process, his sneakers and socks fly off. Barefoot, he stumbles, and without thinking, he slips into the platform flip flops, feeling the cold rubber against his skin. Quickly kicking them off in disgust, he searches for his shoes but finds them mysteriously gone.
Fear and confusion take hold. Suddenly, Ethan’s body begins to morph. He watches in horror as his youthful feet age and reshape, skin toughening and roughening, developing calluses. “Mommy!” he screams, his voice barely recognizable amidst his panic. Legs lengthening, thighs and calves curving, his entire lower half becomes unfamiliar and overtly feminine, leaving him trembling.
Hips widen while his lower torso contorts, muscles aching as they soften into a delicate but bruised form. Pain intensifies as a pressure builds on his chest, resulting in a burgeoning pair of breasts. Arms slenderize, hands growing small and elegant, yet they too become rough to the touch.
His face, the last vestige of Ethan, twists and remodels. Hair elongates and thickens, eyes shift into a darker hue, with fuller lashes that frame them. Brows arch delicately, nose and lips both shift to a heartbreaking symmetry, changing pitch into a feminine lilt. Teeth and bone structures rearrange, completing her transformation into an adult woman dressed in a minimal outfit suitable for the scorching heat—a crop top and a pair of tight denim shorts.
Battling against the invasive memories constricting his mind, Ethan’s last boyish plea breaks out, “No please, I’m gonna miss mommy so much, I just—I just wanna damn coffee and probably a bottle of aspirin. I hate Ohio and its winters so much.” Then, silence.
Standing there was not Ethan anymore, but a homeless woman with no recent memory of anything but her struggles. Her name was Lily Road. At 35 years old, born October 5, 1985, in Alabama, she had been homeless for nearly a decade after a string of bad luck and unfortunate choices. Her wiry, unkempt hair, previously brown, was now streaked with gray, and her green eyes had lost their luster. She stood at 5'7" and weighed around 130 pounds, her skin showing signs of rough living.
Picking up the platform flip flops, she muttered, “These damn streets and this forsaken state. I’ve hated Ohio since I got here.” She slipped them on with a grim satisfaction, inspecting each strap with a weary eye, “Thank God my purse and my bags and my backpack were all still where I left them since I had to take a leak in the alley. These flip flops... I still remember finding them at a thrift shop downtown. They're so comfortable; I love being a woman. These make me feel like a queen.”
Delving into her purse, she retrieved a tattered scarf, wrapping it around her neck, adding a touch of faded elegance. She then put on a pair of cheap sunglasses to shield her eyes. Slinging the purse over one shoulder and the backpack over the other, she clutched her tote bags tightly in each hand.
“I need some more soap and shampoo for my hair, and I could also buy another thing of toothpaste and some deodorant for my pits. No doubt they’ll make me leave all my bags up front even though I’m literally only 35 years old and have been abandoned by my husband and my family and my so-called friends since I’ve been on the streets for 10 miserable years.” Shaking her head, she scowled as she headed into a nearby CVS, driven by irritation and survival instincts.
“Alabama was no better than this dump,” she grumbled under her breath, adjusting the platform flip flops on her feet—a bittersweet reminder of the life she once lived, now mingled with the harshness of the present.
