Jonathan was thrilled. It was the first time his 21-year-old mom, Cara, had given him permission to venture out alone. While she was busy with her 2-year-old sister, Jonathan relished the freedom. He was just seven years old, but his heart was brave, filled with a childlike sense of adventure. The setting sun painted the sky with shades of orange and pink as Jonathan wandered through the park and down the quiet streets of his small town.
He skipped along the sidewalk, humming a tune. But as the daylight began to fade into dusk, Jonathan found himself disoriented and confused on a street he didn’t recognize. Trying to find his way back home, he stumbled upon something unusual—a pair of sandals. They weren't pink; instead, they were a glossy red, adorned with rhinestones that glittered even in the dim light.
"Eww, girly!" Jonathan exclaimed, his face scrunching up in disgust as he intended to walk around them. However, his foot caught on a crack in the sidewalk, sending him tumbling. To his horror, his shoes and socks flew off, and when he tried to regain his footing, his feet slipped into the sandals. Almost immediately, his feet began to feel strange. They started aging, growing cracks, and a bright turquoise nail polish appeared. His feet turned a warm shade of brown.
"Gross!" he squealed, trying desperately to kick the sandals off when he noticed his legs lengthening and shifting to a more feminine shape, their skin also turning brown. Panic set in as his whole body began to transform. His arms lengthened, his shoulders softened, and his chest expanded. His hair grew, becoming a vibrant black with a curly, voluminous texture.
By the time his eyes turned brown and his lips filled out, Jonathan's clothes had completely morphed into a skimpy, sparkling silver dress. His memories faded, replaced by those of a confident, sassy woman. Gone was Jonathan, and in his place stood a woman clutching a purse filled with beauty products and personal items designed for her brown skin—a small mirror, a compact powder foundation, lipstick, and more.
She blinked, momentarily disoriented, as she looked down at her bare feet. Annoyed, she picked up the red sandals with a sigh and began to put them on with careful precision. First, she slid one foot into the left sandal, adjusting the strap around her ankle, making sure it clasped just right. Then she repeated the process with her right foot, tightening the straps and ensuring they were comfortably snug. Finally, she stood up and gave a little strut, her confidence soaring with each step.
Spotting a nearby storefront with a large mirror in the window, she sashayed over and struck a pose. With her hip cocked to one side and a hand on her waist, she gave herself a once-over. "Girl, you are lookin' fabulous tonight," she hyped herself up. "This dress was made for you!" She turned to admire the sleek curve of her silhouette and the way the sandals accentuated her legs.
Settling down on a nearby bench, she crossed her legs, admiring her feet in the sandals. Reaching into her purse, she pulled out a pair of large hoop earrings and a delicate anklet. Adding them to her outfit, she nodded approvingly at her reflection.
Nightfall had fully set in, causing the streetlights to flicker on. She felt a wave of anxiety but quickly talked herself down. "Calm down, Tasha," she told herself firmly. "You're Tasha Williams, 38, born on June 12, 1983, from Birmingham, Alabama. This dress? Fierce silver. These nails? Turquoise and fabulous. And these sandals? Honey, they're red and sparkly.”
She remembered her family and rolled her eyes. "And let's not forget my daughter, Sierra, always borrowing my shoes without permission. She's 16 and took these very sandals last month!"
She pulled out one more item from her purse—a gold bracelet, which she clasped around her wrist, feeling more complete. Admiring her reflection once more, she smirked. "Got these sandals from my girl Lisa,” she said proudly. “I can't wait to drink some margaritas tonight and meet up with my sistas, Keisha and Latoya, and tease a couple fine niggas."
Confident and self-assured, Tasha embraced the night, fully absorbed in her new reality.
