Title: A Night to Remember
The sun cast long shadows across the quiet suburban street as seven-year-old Jonathan took his first tentative steps alone, with his mother’s permission lingering in his mind like a half-forgotten lullaby. His mother, only 21 herself, had given him a newfound sense of autonomy, albeit with a reminder to return before nightfall. Jonathan’s heart pounded with a mix of excitement and trepidation. After all, it wasn’t every day that a little boy got to venture out on his own.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Jonathan wandered further from the familiarity of his street. He found himself at an unfamiliar intersection, where a pair of gaudy, non-pink, glittery sandals lay abandoned on the sidewalk. Their vibrant neon green straps and heel sparkled under the dimming light, but Jonathan recoiled in disgust.
"Ew, they're so girly," he muttered, scrunching his nose. Intent on avoiding the sandals, he attempted to walk around them.
In his haste, Jonathan misjudged the uneven sidewalk and tripped. His shoes and socks went flying, and before he knew what was happening, his feet slipped inexplicably into the obnoxious sandals. An unsettling sensation washed over him as he looked down in horror. His feet began to crack and age, taking on a brownish hue. Vivid red nail polish adorned his toenails.
Panicking, Jonathan tried to scrape off the polish. His legs lengthened, slimming into a more feminine shape. His skin turned a smooth, rich brown, spreading up his body. His once short, messy hair erupted into a cascade of vibrant black curls styled in a voluminous afro, framing his now unfamiliar face.
"No, no, no!" he squealed, his voice rising to a woman’s pitch. His eyes darkened to a warm brown, and his lips filled out into a plump, luscious pout.
A skimpy clubbing outfit materialized on his body: a tight metallic silver mini-dress that shimmered with every movement, barely-there matching heels, and a small purse slung over his shoulder. Curious, he peeked inside the purse to find items like foundation for dark skin, mascara, and a bright, shimmering lip gloss—each product knowingly selected for a black woman’s complexion.
As Jonathan’s transformation completed, his memories reshaped. He could no longer remember being a seven-year-old boy. Instead, she blinked, bewildered, as the name "Monique" rolled off her lips.
She was Monique Johnson, 41 years old, born on January 5th, 1982. Standing at a confident 5’9", she hailed from Detroit, Michigan. Weighing 140 pounds with a body sculpted by years of self-care and sass, she recalled the tilting razzmatazz of her childhood, where she learned to stand tall in a city that never let up. Her most sassy moment? Telling off her ex in the middle of downtown and strutting away with her head held high. She firmly believed in always speaking her mind, no punches pulled.
Confused and annoyed at being barefoot even temporarily, Monique slipped her feet back into the sandals with confidence and grace, strutting off as if the night were her stage and she was the headliner. She spotted a nearby mirror on a street corner and posed confidently, one hand on her hip, the other adjusting her curls. Her facial expressions were fierce and assertive, her eyes smoldering. She positioned herself in various angles, displaying her sandals proudly.
Once satisfied, she sat down on a bench, crossing her legs and admiring how the sandals showcased her feet. "Mmm, these are fire," she mused, pulling out a pair of hoop earrings and a sleek bracelet from her purse and adding them to her ensemble.
Suddenly, the creeping darkness made her heart race. "Hell nah," she muttered, fear etched in her features. "I ain't finna mess up my look over this."
She began listing facts about herself, her words dripping with sass. "I’m Monique, 41 and fabulous! Grew up in Detroit, y'know? Ain’t nobody dream about walking through those streets the way I did. Had to dodge bullets and bad vibes all in a day’s work."
Reaching into her purse one last time, she pulled out a stylish leather jacket, draping it over her shoulders. She admired her shoes once more, smiling. "Got these from Tiffany, ma girl in Brooklyn."
"I can't wait to drink some Moscato tonight and meet up with my sistas, Q and Dee, and tease a couple fine niggas," she said with a confident laugh, her new life and memories seamlessly replacing her old.
As Monique strutted away, the memory of a little boy named Jonathan faded into the ether, leaving only her bold, vibrant essence behind.
