Title: **Transformation on Cedar Street**
James was a petite, blue-eyed boy standing at 3'8" and weighing just 45 pounds. His messy blond hair had a certain charm, complementing his pale complexion. On this particular evening, he sported a bright red shirt with a cartoon dinosaur on it, paired with denim shorts and white sneakers, making him the picture of youthful innocence.
His mom, a young woman of 20, had finally given him permission to venture out alone for the first time. "Just don't go too far, James," she cautioned, her eyes filled with hope and apprehension.
James nodded energetically before sprinting out the front door. Freedom was exhilarating, like stepping into an adventure book where he was both the hero and the narrator. He wandered through the neighborhood, the sun beginning its descent, casting long shadows across the pavement.
As nightfall approached, a sense of disorientation began to settle in. Cedar Street, which was familiar in daylight, now seemed like a labyrinth. Suddenly, he spotted a pair of sandals discarded on the sidewalk. They weren’t pink; they were an obnoxious neon green with intricate straps weaving a delicate pattern. Too girly, he thought immediately, deciding to steer clear of them.
Just as he turned away, he tripped over an uneven sidewalk slab, causing his sneakers and socks to fly off. His small feet inadvertently slipped into the neon sandals. He felt an uncomfortable tingling sensation, and he kicked off the sandals in disgust. But the tingling persisted, turning into a crackling sensation. James watched in horror as his feet darkened to a rich brown shade, and vibrant red nail polish appeared on his toenails.
"Oh no, this is way too girly!" James shouted. "Mommy! Help me!"
His cries were futile as his legs and torso began to feminize and mature, now an elegant brown. His arms slimmed down and his fingernails grew long, painted with the same vibrant red polish. His face morphed, cheeks lifting, lips full, and eyes now framed by long lashes. His blond hair lengthened and darkened into black, forming soft curls characteristic of a black woman’s hairstyle.
An outfit suitable for clubbing materialized: a glittering gold dress that hugged her—now his—new curves, ending well above the knee. A stylish purse appeared, black with golden accents, filled with makeup, keys, and a smartphone.
James tried to scream, to fight the transformation, but his memories began to shuffle like a deck of cards. Gradually, thoughts of being a little boy were replaced by experiences, tastes, and attitudes unfamiliar yet deeply ingrained.
“I’m Monique,” a new voice declared in James's mind. “I’m thirty-four years old, born on May 17, 1986, and proud of my Mississippi roots.” She stood confidently, a proud 5’8” and weighing 135 pounds, her sharp brown eyes gleaming with newfound purpose.
Monique thought about the worst insult she ever received. "I hate you, you black b*tch!" That was from a racist woman at age twenty-one. Screwing her face up in anger, she muttered, "God, I hate racist white people."
Spotting the sandals again, she felt a pang of discomfort at being barefoot. “My pedicure! Ugh, why did I ever take these off?” She picked them up and sat down. One by one, Monique slid her feet into the sandals, carefully adjusting each strap. Finally standing up, she adjusted her purse and strutted down the road.
Catching her reflection in a storefront window, Monique couldn’t resist admiring herself. She set her purse down and posed, bending her hips, tilting her head, pouting her lips. “Damn, look at you,” she said, running her hands over her curvaceous hips and slender waist. “You’re all curves, girl!”
She continued to run her hands over her body, "Your nails are on point," she admired her fingers, "and your feet, girl, those are stunning in these sandals." The nighttime air cooled her enthusiasm, though. "Monique, you’re a grown-ass woman. You got this," she muttered. “Fiona, Jasmine, and Malik,” she thought about her children. She especially remembered her youngest trying on these very sandals once. “Too young for these,” she hissed quietly.
She remembered who gave her these sandals, whispering, “Love you, DeShawn. Miss you every day.”
Her reflection brought another wave of self-admiration. She danced, shaking her hips with flair. “Thank you, Mama, for these curves!” she shouted, tearing up. “Rest in peace.”
A rustle in the bushes startled her. Holding her purse tightly, she whispered to herself, “Hell nah, who’s tryna mess with me? I ain't scared, I'm a black woman from Mississippi! What kinda nigga would mess with a sista like me?”
Monique marched on, now fully embracing who she had become, flashing a final look at her reflection. The world may be intimidating, but Monique knew she was fierce and ready to face whatever came her way.
