The year was 2022, and the sun shone brilliantly over the busy streets of Boulder, Colorado. Elijah "Eli" Parker was an excitable six-year-old, standing at 3'5" and weighing just 40 pounds. His birthday was November 18, 2016, a trivia tidbit he often mentioned proudly to anyone who cared to listen. Eli had sandy blond hair cut in a tousled style that gave him an eternally wind-swept look, and his dark brown eyes sparkled with the innocent curiosity of youth.

Wearing a red T-shirt with a cartoon dinosaur on it, blue denim overalls, and white sneakers with Velcro straps—Eli felt like he could conquer the world. Today, that world consisted of a small, independent toy store not far from his home. He had been given permission by his young mother, Jessica Parker, to venture out alone for the very first time.

Jessica was not much older than twenty-four, born January 12, 1998. She stood at 5'4" and weighed a modest 125 pounds, her long chestnut hair usually tied back into a practical ponytail. Her vivid green eyes were always filled with a mix of love and concern for her only child. Despite her youthful age, Jessica had the tenacity and wisdom to raise her son on her own, always ensuring that Eli knew he was loved and safe.

Eli had quite a simple yet monumental task for someone his age: find a gift for his first-ever crush, Lily. Lily Johnson was a petite six-year-old, just a bit shorter than Eli at 3'4" and weighing 38 pounds. Her birthday was on May 3, 2016. With her long, wavy auburn hair and cornflower-blue eyes, she was the epitome of childhood charm. Eli had saved some of his allowance and Jessica had given him an extra ten dollars to make the occasion special.

As Eli navigated through the shelves crowded with toys, he spotted the perfect gift: a small, pink, heart-shaped locket necklace inside a velvet box. With a grin from ear to ear, Eli took the locket to the counter, paid with crumpled five-dollar bills, and clutched his receipt like a ticket to happiness as he began his walk back home.

Lost in thoughts of giving the necklace to Lily, Eli didn't realize he had wandered into an unfamiliar part of town. The buildings grew taller and grimmer, their facades marked with chipped paint and graffiti. The windows were barred, and the sidewalks littered with discarded bottles and crumpled paper. Eli's steps slowed as his surroundings grew increasingly unsavory.

A group of rough-looking men sat on the steps of a dingy building, glancing at Eli with a mix of confusion and amusement. A disheveled woman rummaged through an overflowing trash bin nearby. The boy clutched the necklace tighter, but his resolve to find his way out strengthened as he spotted a bench just ahead.

Near the bench lay a slew of belongings: a faded, overloaded purple backpack bursting with mismatched clothes, two large, stained tote bags, a gaudy pink purse with faux-gems, and a pair of platform flip-flops. Tempting curiosity, Eli approached the items, wrinkling his nose at the faint whiff of something unpleasant. In his haste to pass, Eli tripped over an outstretched walking cane lying covered in shadows.

Eli stumbled forward, inadvertently kicking off his shoes and socks, landing barefoot with an "Oomph!" Instinctively trying to protect his feet, he slipped them into the platform flip-flops, only to squirm and kick them off in disgust. As he reached for his shoes and socks to put them back on, a sudden chill made him look twice—his shoes and even his clothing seemed to evaporate!

Panicked, Eli felt his feet cracking and aging, skin roughening and morphing into a more feminine form. "Mommy!" Eli screamed, his voice trembling with fear as his legs began to stretch and feminize, his knees and calves growing leaner yet rougher.

Each moment felt excruciatingly long as his hips and lower torso followed suit, bruising and twisting with an unnatural transformation. His chest expanded as his arms and shoulders narrowed, his hands becoming more delicate but marred with calluses and grime. Eli’s head spun as his hair elongated, darkened, and his young boyish features aged into a tired, mature, feminine visage.

"Mommy!" His voice cracked and matured into a woman's lament. His memories began to blur, fighting to hold onto his identity, but shadows swallowed them whole. "No, please, I'm gonna miss Mommy so much I just—" his words twisted in pain "—I just wanna damn cigarette or a hit off a crack pipe or even a swig of booze, I don't care what the damn cops say and probably a bottle of whiskey. I hate Boulder and Colorado so much."

Left standing in the place of the young boy was a broken woman. Her name was Maggie "Mags" Collins, age thirty-five, born on September 29, 1987. Mags, eyes now a dull brown, had unkempt black hair streaked with gray. Once 5'5" and 110 pounds, she had been homeless for five years, driven there by a mix of addiction and abandonment. Grumbling to herself, she walked over and slipped on the platform flip-flops, looking decrepit and aged well beyond her years.

Feeling a chill, she rifled through her purse and applied some chipped nail polish to her cracked fingernails. She then took out a grimy tube of lip balm, coating her chapped lips quickly. Slinging her purse over one shoulder and the backpack over the other, she hefted the tote bags in her hands, feeling the weight of her existence.

"I'll head into that nearby convenience store; I need some more tampons and razors for my hairy legs, and I could also buy another thing of cheap perfume and some mascara for my caked lashes. No doubt they'll make me leave all my bags up front, even though I'm literally only thirty-five years old," she muttered as she approached the meager shop. "Boulder, Colorado—I hate this damn city. Montana was no better, but at least I wasn’t as cold."

Staring at the platform flip-flops she wore, she sighed. "Thank God my purse and my bags and my backpack and my flip flops were all still where I left them since I had to go and throw up behind a dumpster. I still remember finding the platform flip-flops outside a thrift store—they're so comfortable. I love being a woman; these make me feel like a queen and like a real-life princess, but I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm thirty-five years old, and my worthless father sexually abused me and took my innocence."

Standing before the store, she braced herself. "Hopefully Paula isn't working today, or as I like to call her, Pig Paula, since she's such a fucking bitch. She's the only one that knows I used to be Eli Parker and that I've stolen before and will kick me out."

Maggie took a deep breath and stepped inside.
