Jonathan's mother stood at the door, her eyes tinged with worry but her voice steady. "Remember, Jonathan, you're a big boy now, and you're allowed to go to the park by yourself. But come straight home when it gets dark, okay?"
Jonathan nodded enthusiastically, his curly blonde hair bouncing with each determined motion. "Okay, Mommy! I promise."
As the sky faded from bright blue to the pinks and purples of twilight, Jonathan realized he was further from home than he had ever been. His small, sneakered feet wandered past familiar landmarks, driven by curiosity but GPS-less in his young mind. Panic began to set in as the streetlights flickered on, casting long, eerie shadows.
Stumbling along the sidewalk, Jonathan caught sight of a pair of sandals lying askew, almost deliberately placed as if to taunt him. They were a garish neon green with fake jewels encrusting the delicate straps—definitely not pink but unquestionably "girly." The sight made his nose crinkle in disgust. "Ew, gross!" he muttered to himself, deciding to circumvent them entirely.
Intent on avoiding the sandals, Jonathan misjudged his footing and tripped over a raised section of the sidewalk. His shoes and socks flew off in the tumble, leaving his young feet exposed to the cool pavement. Scrambling to his feet, he didn't notice until too late that his feet had somehow slipped into those neon green monstrosities.
"Yuck!" Jonathan wailed as he tried to kick them off, but something strange began to happen. His feet started to crack and age, the skin turning a rich mocha brown. Bright, electric-blue nail polish gleamed on his newly aged toenails. Terrified, he tried scraping off the polish, but his legs lengthened and feminized, muscles morphing into more delicate curves.
"What's happening to me?" Jonathan thought, but the transformation was relentless. His entire body darkened into a smooth, coffee-brown hue. His hair thickened, cascading down his back in luxurious, radiant black curls styled into fluffy voluminous waves. His eyes darkened to a deep, soulful brown, and his lips plumped into a perfect, sensuous pout.
As night fully descended, Jonathan's ragged clothes transformed into a skimpy clubbing outfit—a form-fitting, neon-pink mini dress with a daring neckline and sparkling sequins that screamed confidence. A neon green purse appeared at his side, matching the loathsome sandals. Inside the purse were items no 7-year-old could ever dream of using: a compact powder for dark skin tones, a bold red lipstick, a smartphone with a glittery case, and a perfume bottle shaped like a high heel.
Memories of his mother and his young life faded as new ones took their place. "I'm not Jonathan," echoed in his newly reformatted brain. The echos settled on the identity of a woman, strong and vivid. Her name was Latasha, age 42, born on July 12th, 1981, not in Georgia but in vibrant Louisiana. She was 5'10", weighed 150 pounds, rocking those curves.
The realization that she was standing barefoot caused Latasha to scowl in mild irritation. Bending down gracefully, she took each sandal in hand, slipping first her right foot in, adjusting the strap just-so around her ankle with an air of practiced ease. Then, her left foot, the process repeated, making sure each jewel-lined strap glinted perfectly in the soft streetlight glow. Satisfied, Latasha strutted toward a nearby storefront window, her hips swaying with each confident step. Her reflection shot back a confident, stunningly attractive woman.
"Oh yes, girl!" Latasha exclaimed, striking poses that ranged from sassy hand-on-hip to playful over-the-shoulder glances. Her facial expressions shifted effortlessly from sultry to vivacious, each one oozing self-assuredness.
She eventually sat down on a nearby bench, crossing her legs in a manner that highlighted her newly found confidence. Her eyes sparkled as she pulled out a bold red lipstick and the high-heeled perfume bottle, adding a final touch to her already stunning appearance.
The darkness suddenly felt oppressive, gnawing at her bravado. "Ugly nighttime," she muttered, her voice shaking slightly. "But Latasha, girl, you got this." She started speaking to herself, trying to bolster her resolve. "I'm Latasha, I'm 42 and fabulous, from Louisiana. Girl, you've been through worse things!" She reassured herself, her hand waving airily as if dismissing the shadows' presence.
Tears threatened as she thought about her family. "My babies! Anthony's 25, Michelle's 23, and sweet little Darren is 20," she mentioned, voice thick with emotion. "Anthony, always forgetting to call me back! Drives me up the wall!" she scoffed, rolling her eyes.
Pulling out a delicate necklace adorned with her birthstone, she fastened it around her neck, the final piece to complete her radiant look. Admiring her reflection one last time, she smiled, a sense of peace enveloping her. "These sandals, baby, I got them from my bestie Keisha. Love you, girl!"
As she stood, Latasha gazed at the night sky, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "I can't wait to drink some margaritas tonight and meet up with my sistas Shonda and Denise, and tease a couple of fine niggas," she chuckled, her voice a symphony of sass and anticipation.
