He landed sprawled at the foot of the bed, his feet bare and chilly. 62. Struggling upright, Benjamin’s toes squirmed right into Yolanda’s oversized flip flops by the bed. 63. He tried to wiggle out, but his feet got wedged—suddenly, they wouldn’t come off. 64. To his horror, a strange sensation crept up his ankles, and his feet began to change: 65.

The legs matched perfectly to Yolanda’s—length, proportions, even the way they bent as he shifted balance. 92. Sweatpants began to creep up his legs, gray cotton fabric slithering upwards. 93. The sweatpants perfectly matched Yolanda’s: floral embroidery, loose but tapered cuffs, flaring out at his hips. 94. The waistband settled high, hugging his now-womanly waist and hips. 95. A faint scent of laundry powder and rose clung to the new sweatpants. 96. He staggered, feeling fabric where his legs had just been bare a moment ago. 97. His torso and chest began to transform, too—bones groaning as the process continued: 98. His waist pulled in dramatically, shrinking and curving inward. 99. His hips swelled, forming a classic hourglass. 100. His ribcage expanded outward, losing its childish hollowness. 101. His belly flattened, losing every bit of baby fat. 102.

The tank top hugged his new frame, the straps cutting into his now-shoulders. 107. The new tank top brought an itchy tag that read “Sofia’s”. 108. His neck elongated, elegant, and a delicate silver chain winked at his collarbone. 109. Freckles and marks vanished from his shoulders, leaving smooth, perfect skin. 110. His arms and hands began to tingle as well: 111. The upper arms rapidly slimmed, muscles shifting into softer curves. 112. His elbows shrunk and daintified, growing smooth. 113.

Benjamin stared down in horror, “I look so girly don’t want to be my friend’s mommy she’s so old.” 125. But the transformation continued—his head, hair, and face now subject to impossible changes: 126. His skull elongated, the jaw-line diminished and softened. 127. Cheekbones rose up, pronounced but gentle, rounding his face. 128. Eyebrows thinned and arched with a distinct Hispanic curve. 129. Lashes grew long and black, blinking heavily as his vision blurred. 130. His nose broadened and flared slightly, nostrils widening. 131. His chin receded and softened, a little dimple forming at its center. 132. Lips plumped up, full and painted a soft pink with a gloss. 133. The color of his eyes shifted—a deep, chocolate brown, very dark. 134. Crow’s feet and faint laugh lines appeared at the corners of his eyes. 135. Tiny beauty spots and freckles appeared in new patterns. 136. His forehead smoothed, whilst age lines faintly creased the edges with maturity. 137. His hair prickled, lengthening, deepening in color to thick, inky black. 138. Hair cascaded in waves down his back, falling with heavy curls over his new shoulders. 139. His scalp tingled as the long mane weighed down. 140. His ears sprouted holes, as gold hoop earrings formed, pinching his new lobes. 141. Lips widened, smile lines creasing at the corners. 142.

Crow’s feet grew deeper, giving her a wise, matronly look. 155. Her brow furrowed expressively, more lined. 156. Her hair seem to have an extra curl, impossibly lively. 157. As the change finished, her reflection showed only Yolanda’s face. 158. One by one, the five pieces of jewelry formed: 1. A gold wedding ring on her left hand. 2. Thick gold hoop earrings in her ears. 3. A delicate chain with a crucifix around her neck. 4. A chunky gold bracelet on her wrist. 5. A thin silver ring on her right hand. 159. The prescription sunglasses flickered and formed over her eyes—black, bold cat-eye frames. 160. The strap-on purse shimmered into existence, nestled comfortably across her shoulders and side. 161. Her voice trembled, shifting octaves, inflection, accent and tone all warping—the sound of Yolanda’s softly accented English replacing Benjamin’s childish voice. 162. “No… No… no…” she whimpered in a voice not her own. 163. Her accent deepened, vowels elongated, words finding a musical, Spanish lilt. 164. She burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably—the transformation overwhelming her. 165. Each sob seemed to erase a piece of Benjamin’s memory. 166. Memories of school, home, and Kayla faded into hazy incomprehension. 167. Images of her mother, Stephanie, fluttered away like a dream. 168. The taste of peanut butter sandwiches, the feeling of his favorite blanket, the delight in building Legos—gone. 169. In their place came knowledge of chores, responsibilities, bills and shopping, lessons of Mexican heritage, hundreds of recipes. 170. She remembered Mateo, her only son, and her duty as his mother—Yolanda Ramirez. 171. There was not one trace of Benjamin left—only Yolanda remained. 172. “¡AYYYYYY!” she cried, dropping to her knees. 173. Between heaving sobs, she called out, “Why I no remember nada… what I doing? Por favor, Dios mío, I… I is only Yolanda… what I must do now?!” 174. Tears spilled down her face, leaving smudges on her cheeks. 175. Wiping her tears, she stood up shakily and bent down to adjust her sweatpants, pinching and pulling the waistband. 176. She straightened and ran her fingers through her curly hair, pushing her sunglasses up her nose. 177. She shifted her purse more snugly over her shoulder. 178. Wiggling her feet in her flip flops, she clipped her toes securely at the edge so they wouldn’t slip. 179. She placed her hands on her hips, making sure her jewelry was in place. 180. She clip-clopped in her flip flops over to the full-length mirror mounted behind the door. 181. With trembling hands, she touched her chin, examining her tanned face. 182. “YOLANDA! Why you no remember nothing, Yolanda…? Ay, Yolee-and-ah… what Yolee-and-ah supposed doing? Go out, do shopping for Mateo… pick up groceries like you say to him before… no forget.” 183. She practiced saying her name in her thick accent: “Yolee-and-ah. That’s me. Yolee-and-ah.” 184. Nodding resolutely, Yolanda made her way down the hallway to the kitchen. 185. Remembering she needed a snack, she rummaged through the fridge and found corn tortillas, shredded cheese, and leftover carne asada. 186. In a skillet, she quickly fried up a cheesy carne asada quesadilla, flipping it expertly with a spatula. 187. The aroma of sizzling cheese filled the kitchen. 188. As she reached for a plate, she swatted her own hand, exclaiming, “Yolee-and-ah, you no even put hair up! Caray, always messy.” 189. She quickly twisted her hair up into a bun using five steps: 1. Gathered all her wavy, curly locks behind her neck. 2. Gave the mass a tight twist. 3. Coiled the twist around itself, forming a loose bun. 4. Secured it with two black elastic bands found in her purse. 5. Tugged a few curls free in the front for a casual, playful look. 190. Hair up, she finished cooking her snack, slicing the quesadilla in triangles, adding a dollop of red salsa. 191. She ate quickly, savoring the sharp cheese and smoky meat. 192. Wiping her hands, she grabbed her purse, keys, and sunglasses. 193. She left the house, locking the door carefully behind her. 194. Walking to the car, she spotted her reflection in the driver’s side door. 195. “Ey Yolanda,” she said out loud, grinning, “mira, looking so good today, yes! Muy guapa, como always! You go to market and get everything, okay? Muy organizada now, sí.” 196. She slid into the car and adjusted her sunglasses, purse still strapped snug across her body. 197. The drive to the nearby market took only minutes. 198. She hopped out, flip flops slapping the pavement with each step, and grabbed a shopping cart from the bay. 199. Yolanda walked the aisles with practiced ease, loading her cart with the essentials for a Mexican feast. 200. First, she grabbed two bags of long grain rice and a bag of dried black beans. 201. She picked a ten-pound sack of masa harina for fresh tortillas. 202. She tossed in avocados, cilantro, limes, jalapeños, and three juicy tomatoes. 203. She reached for quesadilla cheese, a kilo of Oaxaca string cheese and a pack of cotija. 204. She tossed in a five-pound pork shoulder, two trays of chicken thighs, and a stack of skirt steak. 205. Garlic, onions, chorizo, and a generous bundle of flour tortillas followed. 206. She picked out dried chiles—guajillo, ancho, and chipotle for her signature adobo. 207. A can of chipotles in adobo, and a jar of pickled jalapeños were next. 208. She grabbed a six-pack of Jarritos for Mateo. 209. Her cart now brimming, she rolled toward the beer section. 210. With a practiced arm, she hefted two cases of Corona into the cart. 211. Next, she added two cases of Modelo Especial. 212. Satisfied, she trotted to the front register. 213. The cashier, a young woman with pink hair and a nose ring, eyed the beer, then Yolanda. 214. “Can I see your ID, please ma’am?” she asked. 215. Yolanda huffed in disbelief, “¡QUE! I fifty-four year old, you no need my ID, no necesito. Mira, ya tengo canas, wrinkles, la edad se me nota! Así que no me molestes con eso, okay, chica?” 216. The cashier blinked, shrugged, and waved her through. 217. Yolanda paid for the groceries, loaded her bags into her arms, and pushed the cart briskly outside. 218. She loaded the ingredients and beer into her car, careful not to crush the produce. 219. She rolled the cart back to the rack, feeling proud of her organization. 220. As she got into the driver’s seat, she cackled to herself, “Ay, Yolanda, tonight you open cold Corona, eat carne asada tacos, have good time… maybe invite los vecinos. Hehe, think I have Modelo first—so cold!” 221. Her purse jingled as she glanced in the rearview mirror at herself. 222. Just then, her phone buzzed and a young voice called from the back seat, “Mamá, puedo yo tener una cervecita también?” 223. Yolanda laughed, rolling her eyes, “¡Ay, Mateo, you no ask for cervecita, you still niño, maybe you have Jarritos, eh? When you big like mami then you drink, pero no ahora, sólo sodita.” 224. Mateo kicked his heels, giggling at his mother’s joke. 225. “Mamá, you always say ‘cuando seas grande’. I’ll be grande soon!” he pouted. 226. Yolanda reached back and tousled his hair, “No hurry to grow, mijo. Enjoy being niño, you have time for all things.” 227. She started the car, humming along to the mariachi music playing softly from the dashboard. 228. At a red light, Yolanda thought for a moment—why did she always feel a pang of sadness when thinking of little boys and mothers? 229. She shook her head, the feeling fleeting, and focused instead on the recipe she planned for dinner. 230. At home, Yolanda carried in her groceries, Mateo bouncing along behind her. 231. She set the table, assembling piles of tortillas next to the beans and rice. 232. Mateo chattered about a new game he wanted for his birthday. 233. Yolanda poured herself a cold Modelo, squeezing a lime wedge inside. 234. She set out a brightly colored bowl of tortilla chips and a fresh salsa she’d just mixed. 235. The sunlight poured through the kitchen, glinting off her gold jewelry as she laughed. 236. “Mamá, you cooking the tacos now?” Mateo asked with an eager grin. 237. “Sí, mijo. First we mash beans, then cook the carne—later we play, I promise,” Yolanda winked. 238. She turned, catching her reflection in the microwave, seeing only a hardworking, loving mother. 239. The day went on, filled with the scents of cumin and cilantro, the sounds of laughter and frying tortillas. 240. Neither Yolanda nor Mateo would ever know the extraordinary thing that happened that afternoon. 241. For in this house, a mother’s love filled all the rooms—even those once forgotten. 242. And so, Yolanda lived her simple, busy life, never remembering a time she was anything—anyone—other than his mamá. 243. Sometimes, when the evening was quiet and she washed the last plate, she’d feel a funny sense of déjà vu. 244. But she would only pat her streaky sunglasses, smile in the mirror, and whisper, “Ay, Yolee-and-ah, you doin’ good, chica… muy bien.” 245. Mateo would hug her at bedtime, always safe and adored. 246. The world outside would turn, mysterious as ever. 247. Yolanda would slip off her flip flops, slide into bed, and dream motherly dreams. 248. Somewhere far away, a blond boy with blue eyes slept on, never to be seen again. 249. In this quiet suburb, a mother and son were home at last, together in all the years still to come. 250. And that, dear reader, is the story of how Benjamin Carter became Yolanda Ramirez—forever a loving mamá.
