Title: The Neon Green Sandals: A Night of Transformation
0 Points
0
James Hansen was not your typical seven-year-old boy. At 3'8" and weighing 45 pounds, he sported a wild mop of dirty blonde hair that toppled above his crystal-blue eyes. This young kid was full of spirit and curiosity, traits perhaps inherited from his youthful, 20-year-old mother, Alice.
Today was a monumental day for James. For the first time, Alice gave him permission to venture outside alone. He wore a vibrant red backpack slung over his shoulders, a blue t-shirt with his favorite superhero emblazoned on the front, and a pair of rugged khaki shorts. His feet were clad in snug white socks and sturdy sneakers that made him feel almost invincible as he marched into the unknown, brimming with excitement.
The sun dipped below the horizon quicker than James anticipated, and he soon found himself navigating an eerie maze of shadows and unfamiliar streets. The comforting gleam of daylight had been replaced by a foreboding twilight. Anxiety began to coil in his chest as he walked further, the streets emanating a hollow silence that amplified his every anxious step.
It was then that he noticed a pair of skimpy sandals tossed carelessly on the sidewalk. They were a glaring neon green, not pink—strange for this sort of item left abandoned. The straps were thin, the kind that James had always deemed excessively "girly." With a wrinkled nose and an expression of pure distaste, he veered to avoid them.
"Yuck, those are gross," he thought, but before he could fully sidestep, his foot caught on something hidden in the dark. He tumbled forward, arms flailing, as his sneakers and socks inexplicably launched from his feet. His bare feet landed precisely into the sandals.
"Oh no, gross!" he yelped, wrenching his feet free from the offending footwear. He barely had a moment to react before a disturbing sensation crawled over his limbs. His feet began to tremble, turning a dark brown as the skin split into cracks, vibrant red nail polish blossoming on his toenails.
The young boy watched in horror as the transformation crept up his legs, which lengthened and became more feminine. His torso also changed, fabricating curves inappropriate for someone his age, while his arms thinned and his fingernails sprouted, also painted in the same alarming red. His face aged rapidly, becoming mature and distinctly feminine. His hair altered into luscious black curls styled into an updo, and a skimpy clubbing outfit materialized on his body—tight and short, shimmering silver, adorned with sequins. A leather purse appeared, accessorized with a pair of sunglasses, lip gloss, and a small compact mirror.
James could feel his memories slipping away, but he tried to cling to them. "Help! Mommy!" he screamed, but the plea grew weaker as his mind blurred and identity shifted to that of a vibrant black woman named Keisha, 52 years old, from Detroit, Michigan.
"What da heck is goin' on? I ain't bout to ruin my pedicure walkin’ barefoot on this dirty sidewalk," she grumbled, scanning her now fully transformed body. "Why did I even kick dem shoes off?"
It dawned on her. "Oh yeah, I wasn’t wearin' my shoes cause I kicked them off to dance all night!" she exclaimed, grabbing the neon green sandals. She carefully put each sandal back on, adjusting the straps tautly against her newly manicured feet, ensuring they snuggly wrapped around her ankles.
With a certain grace, she stood, her heels clicking against the pavement. Adjusting her purse over her shoulder, she strutted down the road, pausing as a nearby boutique’s storefront mirror caught her eye.
"Ooh, here we go!" Keisha posed, holding her purse with her left hand high, the other cambering at her waist. She spun, setting the purse down to the side, arching her back and pouting her lips in various angles, her eyes twinkling with pride as she admired herself. "Girl, you still got it. Look at them curves!" she said, hands gliding over her hips, waist, and chest, appreciating every inch of her new frame.
"This clubbin' dress, these high heels, and this mani-pedi combo? Honey, you're killing it!" she flaunted, her reflection bolstering her confidence.
But the encroaching darkness triggered a pang of fear. "It's okay, girl. I'm Keisha Jenkins, 52 years old, born May 15, 1971, from Detroit, Michigan. This dress is fierce, these sandals got sass, and my red nails are on fire, baby!" she reassured herself.
Her mind flickered back to the memory of her mom. "Mom always believed in me, made me the fabulous woman I am today. Rest in peace, mama," her eyes moistening at the memory.
Drawing two accessories from her purse—a pair of gold hoop earrings and a flashy bracelet—she completed her look. She also pulled out a compact to touch up her makeup, ensuring she was ready for the night. Lastly, she took out her wallet to check her cards and cash. "Gonna need some money to get myself a drink or two," she thought, contemplating a fancy cocktail at an upscale bar.
Keisha felt a sudden pang of love for her children. "I love my kiddos, ages 27 and 23," she whispered softly. "But my daughter has to stop borryin' my things without askin'!"
She jolted with fear, clutching her purse tighter as sounds emerged from the darkness around her. Speeding up, she tripped over herself, the noise echoing unsettlingly. Nervously, she glanced around, standing once again before a mirror.
“What am I even doin’ out here in this dress and shoes?” she mumbled, questioning the bizarre turn of events. "Nigga what am I doin' out here?" she stressed, reflecting on her evening. "Oh that’s right, I was goin' to get myself some fancy perfume,” Keisha remembered, feeling momentarily distracted by her own reflection.
As she continued down the road, still in awe of her beauty and transformation, Keisha's past as little James had vanished entirely, leaving only the proud, confident woman she had become under the cloak of the mysterious night.
