**1.** Once upon a late summer night, in a quiet little house in the suburbs, a boy named Timothy Charles Willoughby was nestled deep in sleep.
**2.** Timothy was a very young boy—only eight years of age.
**3.** His birthday was May 14th.
**4.** He was born in 2016.
**5.** Timothy stood at 4 feet, 2 inches tall.
**6.** He weighed 63 pounds.
**7.** His copper-brown hair was tousled and wavy, sticking out at odd angles as he dozed.
**8.** Large, green-hazel eyes—when open—reflected his curiosity about the world.
**9.** His skin was pale, and he was a cheerful, white American child.
**10.** Timothy’s mother was Julia Elaine Willoughby.
**11.** Julia was 37 years old.
**12.** Her birthday was January 23rd.
**13.** Julia had been born in 1987.
**14.** She stood at 5 feet, 5 inches tall.
**15.** Julia weighed 135 pounds.
**16.** Her hair was a straight shoulder-length blonde.
**17.** Her eyes were a gentle blue.
**18.** Timothy’s grandmother—Julia’s mother—was named Patricia "Pat" Delores Grafton.
**19.** Patricia was 63 years old.
**20.** She was born July 5th, 1960.
**21.** Patricia stood at 5 feet, 3 inches.
**22.** She weighed 145 pounds.
**23.** Her hair was soft and graying, kept in a tidy perm.
**24.** She had twinkling blue-gray eyes.
**25.** The great aunt was Virginia Jean Grafton, known as Aunt Ginny.
**26.** Aunt Ginny was only a year younger than Patricia—aged 62.
**27.** Her birthday was November 7th, 1961.
**28.** She was born one chilly, blustery day.
**29.** Ginny was a bit taller, at 5 feet, 4 inches.
**30.** She weighed 142 pounds.
**31.** Aunt Ginny had brassy red hair, streaks of silver running through, styled in a perky, layered bob pushing out beneath her visor.
**32.** Her eyes were keen and gray, full of mischief.
**33.** Tonight, Timothy was curled up on his bed, wearing his favorite blue t-shirt with a faded dinosaur print and some baggy gray shorts.
**34.** Aunt Ginny, for reasons her family could only guess at, was asleep on the living room couch.
**35.** She wore her bright peach tank top adorned with a sequin flamingo;
**36.** mint-green terry shorts with white piping hugged her legs;
**37.** a pair of oversized black flip-flops dangled from her feet, big painted toenails peeking out;
**38.** her ever-present white visor was still on her head;
**39.** and stylish tortoiseshell sunglasses rested across her face.
**40.** Aunt Ginny’s fingernails and toenails gleamed with a glossy fuchsia polish.
**41.** She wore six pieces of jewelry:
**42.** 1. Large gold hoop earrings
**43.** 2. A chunky turquoise bead necklace
**44.** 3. A silver charm bracelet jingling with trinkets
**45.** 4. An opal cocktail ring on her right index finger
**46.** 5. A woven leather anklet
**47.** 6. A delicate silver chain anklet with a tiny heart charm
**48.** Ginny slept sideways, one arm draped over a paisley pillow and one leg hanging off the couch, flip-flops loose at her feet.
**49.** It was close to midnight when Timothy stirred, pushing tangled hair from his eyes.
**50.** Blinking awake, he tiptoed downstairs, drawn by the glow of a nightlight.
**51.** Timothy peered into the living room and spotted Aunt Ginny snoring softly on the patchwork couch.
**52.** He approached slowly, clutching his dinosaur t-shirt for comfort.
**53.** In his sleepy state, he tripped over something on the rug.
**54.** As he stumbled, Timothy glanced down—and realized with a jolt…
**55.** …his feet had slipped right into Aunt Ginny’s comically large black flip flops!
**56.** He frowned, not having intended to wear them, wriggling his toes in surprise.
**57.** As he tried to kick them off, something very strange began to happen…
**58.** His feet started to crack and age, changing in a terrifying sequence:
**59.** 1. The skin dried and thinned, pale freckles appearing.
**60.** 2. The arches ached and widened.
**61.** 3. Toenails grew long and square, quickly lacquered in fuchsia polish.
**62.** 4. Veins and tendons stood out more clearly.
**63.** 5. Tiny calluses sprouted on the heels.
**64.** 6. Each toe thickened, right foot followed by left.
**65.** 7. The ankles swelled slightly with softness.
**66.** 8. Wrinkles creased the backs of his heels.
**67.** 9. Random sun spots and patches of dry skin formed.
**68.** 10. The flip flops fit perfectly—no longer too big.
**69.** 11. The hair on his toes turned reddish-silver.
**70.** 12. Nerves prickled, making his feet tingle.
**71.** 13. The metatarsals seemed to broaden.
**72.** 14. The feet flattened into an adult-woman shape.
**73.** 15. Anklets formed around both legs—jewelry just like Aunt Ginny’s.
**74.** 16. Sas the second anklet shimmered into view, a tiny silver heart dangling.
**75.** 17. Toenails gleamed fuschia with a perfect top coat.
**76.** 18. Leg hair thinned to fine, nearly invisible down.
**77.** 19. Old, pale scars appeared—a bike mishap here, a dog bite there.
**78.** 20. His bones settled into Ginny’s adult proportions; the flip flops no longer clacked awkwardly.
**79.** Timothy’s eyes went wide and he gasped, “Nooooooo! I don’t want to be my aunt—she’s old!”
**80.** In a panic, he rushed to shake Ginny awake—but his legs were changing next:
**81.** 1. Knees popped, swelling outward.
**82.** 2. Skin puckered and sagged at the edges.
**83.** 3. Thighs thickened under fuchsia polish peeking from pedicured toes.
**84.** 4. Sparse freckles spread over shins.
**85.** 5. Muscles shifted, growing a little softer and rounder.
**86.** 6. Scar tissue patterned the left shin.
**87.** 7. Veins webbed along calves.
**88.** 8. Patches of stretch marks appeared.
**89.** 9. Cellulite dappled the backs as bones tilted wider.
**90.** 10. Kneecaps ached and moved upward.
**91.** 11. Calf hair virtually disappeared.
**92.** 12. Knees darkened, matching an older person’s tone.
**93.** 13. New sounds—crick, snap, pop—followed each movement.
**94.** 14. Little spider veins fanned out.
**95.** 15. The skin turned cooler, less elastic.
**96.** 16. Wounds and bruises from childhood faded away, replaced by Ginny’s marks.
**97.** 17. Hips widened, pelvis rotating to support a woman’s frame.
**98.** 18. Aunt Ginny’s mint-green shorts, along with her lacy white panties, effortlessly slid off Ginny’s sleeping form and up over Timothy’s newly-shaped legs and hips.
**99.** 19. The shorts settled, hugging his new curves as if he’d always worn them.
**100.** 20. A confusing, almost ticklish sensation accompanied every shift.
**101.** Desperately, Timothy tried to shake off the shorts and panties, but his body was entering the next phase—his torso and chest:
**102.** 1. Ribs expanded with a wrenching, adult pop.
**103.** 2. Skin sagged a bit at the waistline, freckles spreading up his sides.
**104.** 3. His chest softened, two bumps swelling out to become proper, womanly breasts.
**105.** 4. Pink nipples darkened under the tank top.
**106.** 5. Back clicked as the spine curved to match Ginny’s posture.
**107.** 6. Soft belly replaced boyish flatness.
**108.** 7. New sensations emerged—undergarment constriction, shifting weight.
**109.** 8. Tank top slipped up from Ginny’s torso and zipped through the air onto Timothy.
**110.** 9. Ginny’s lacy white bra swept across and latched on behind the tank, encasing new curves.
**111.** 10. Shoulder bones popped and widened.
**112.** 11. Freckles peppered his upper arms, chest, and back.
**113.** 12. Birthmarks faded in, unique to Aunt Ginny.
**114.** 13. Sweat glands adapted, producing a hint of floral deodorant.
**115.** 14. Ribs and sternum stretched.
**116.** 15. Shoulders softened.
**117.** 16. Arms pressed awkwardly against his now-bizarrely different sides.
**118.** 17. A low, womanly laugh threatened to emerge when he tried to yell.
**119.** 18. Tank top’s sequined flamingo glinted in the nightlight.
**120.** 19. Posture changed as the center of gravity shifted.
**121.** 20. All that remained of Timothy’s pajamas was a memory; his body now matched Aunt Ginny’s mid-60s, peach-tank-top form.
**122.** “I feel so old and girly… I want to be a boy!” Timothy wailed, voice already higher and raspier.
**123.** But the changes weren’t finished—his arms and hands began to transform:
**124.** 1. Elbows clicked outward.
**125.** 2. Biceps plumped with gentle fat.
**126.** 3. Freckles splashed over skin.
**127.** 4. Wrinkles mapped across knuckles.

**132.** 9. Age spots appeared by the thumb.
**133.** 10. Length of the arm darkened with years of tan and sun.
**134.** 11. Hangnails vanished; the nails smoothed out and grew.
**135.** 12. Fuchsia nail polish shimmered on all ten nails.
**136.** 13. An ageless, beautiful ring pressed tight.
**137.** 14. Wrists thinned and grew more angular.
**138.** 15. Jumping veins appeared on the hand backs.
**139.** 16. Old splinters and calluses vanished, replaced by Ginny’s faint burn mark.
**140.** 17. Knuckles wrinkled and bent.
**141.** 18. Silver chain of her charm bracelet wove its way around.
**142.** 19. Arms moved with a woman’s purposeful grace.
**143.** 20. Shoulders hunched instinctively, just a bit.
**144.** Finally, Timothy’s head, hair, and face cracked:
**145.** 1. Hairline shifted upward, brightening to Ginny’s brassy red.
**146.** 2. Roots lengthened, layering in that signature bob.
**147.** 3. Streaks of silver appeared, particularly at the temples.
**148.** 4. Forehead wrinkled with familiar laugh lines.
**149.** 5. Brows thinned out, reshaping into Ginny’s arch.
**150.** 6. Eyelashes faded, then thickened with mascara tint.
**151.** 7. Cheeks sagged, bones reforming.
**152.** 8. Jaw shifted, growing pointier.
**153.** 9. Chin dimple appeared beneath the new smile.
**154.** 10. Crows-feet developed beside gray eyes.
**155.** 11. Nose elongated slightly, acquiring Ginny’s little bump.
**156.** 12. Ears pierced and sparkling gold hoops appeared.
**157.** 13. Neck stretched elegantly, all wiry muscles and veins.
**158.** 14. Mole appeared on the left cheek.
**159.** 15. Lips thinned slightly but curved with a knowing smile.
**160.** 16. Little wrinkles mapped the upper lip.
**161.** 17. Skin felt papery, more delicate.
**162.** 18. Adam’s apple receded; neck lost its boyish bulk.
**163.** 19. Eyes lost green-hazel and blazed clear, flinty gray.
**164.** 20. Crows feet deepened.
**165.** 21. Mouth dropped every little frown Ginny had ever worn.
**166.** 22. Eyebrows bushier, then tamed by invisible tweezers.
**167.** 23. Hair on crown arranged into the infamous bob.
**168.** 24. Chin skin puckered.
**169.** 25. Teeth shifted into Ginny’s unique smile.
**170.** 26. Nose brightened with memory of sunburns past.
**171.** 27. Ears now sported hoops and faint little sun spots.
**172.** 28. Glasses—tortoiseshell and gigantic—lifted off the sleeping Ginny and clicked into place on Timothy’s face.
**173.** 29. The white visor fluttered onto his head, feeling utterly familiar.
**174.** 30. Head felt heavy, like memories crowding in.
**175.** In a panic, Timothy—now Ginny—yanked off the sunglasses and visor, tossing both onto the rug, and kicked off the flip flops.
**176.** Meanwhile, the real Aunt Ginny’s body on the couch shimmered and evaporated, dissolving into dust motes that flickered away under the lamp, leaving only a hint of her floral perfume.
**177.** Six pieces of jewelry materialized on Timothy’s wrists, fingers, ankles, and ears, each shimmering into place:
**178.** 1. Gold hoops on ears
**179.** 2. Chunky turquoise bead necklace
**180.** 3. Silver charm bracelet
**181.** 4. Opal ring on finger
**182.** 5. Woven leather anklet
**183.** 6. Delicate silver heart anklet
**184.** Ginny (formerly Timothy) yanked each piece off and dropped them on the table.
**185.** Flashes of new memories roared: Ginny’s high school, first car, decades of girlfriends and family parties, losing pets, grinning in band photos, her first teaching job, summer road trips, heartbreaks, patching up with Patricia—until there was nothing of Timothy left.
**186.** She grabbed her head, groaning.
**187.** “What on earth? Ginny, what did you get up for? Why am I…” she blinked, “…still wearing these shorts?”
**188.** Ginny spotted her black flip flops and wriggled her fuchsia-painted toes with pleasure, deciding to slide them back on.
**189.** One by one, she gathered her jewelry and put each piece back on—here’s the step by step:
**190.** 1. Left gold hoop on ear.
**191.** 2. Right gold hoop on ear.
**192.** 3. Necklace clasped around her neck.
**193.** 4. Charm bracelet secured on wrist.
**194.** 5. Cocktail ring slipped onto right hand.
**195.** 6. Leather anklet around left ankle.
**196.** 7. Silver anklet with heart on right ankle.
**197.** 8. Extra turquoise bead bracelet for the left wrist.
**198.** 9-20. Six silver stacking rings on left hand, one by one.
**199.** 21-34. Beaded and gold bangles layered up both wrists.
**200.** 35. Shell choker thrown on for flair.
**201.** 36. A final large, gaudy blue earring in her upper left ear.
**202.** Ginny (once Timothy) picked up her sunglasses and perched them on her nose, feeling safe behind their wide frames.
**203.** She snatched up her visor and slipped it over her now perfectly bobbed hair.
**204.** Clip-clopping in those familiar flip-flops, she made her way to the big living room mirror.
**205.** “Ginny, honestly, what are you doing up at midnight, lecturing yourself dressed like a flamingo on summer vacation?”
**206.** She surveyed her tank top and shorts, wiggled her fingers at her reflection, and decided,
**207.** “It’s your house and your couch, Ginny. You look fabulous. Even if it’s midnight.”
**208.** She giggled and muttered,
**209.** “As long as Patricia doesn’t catch me dressed like this again, I’m fine.”
**210.** She struck a sassy pose for the mirror.
**211.** “You still got it, Ginny. Even if you can’t remember what you came down here for.”
**212.** With nothing of Timothy left except a vague trace of longing, Ginny strutted off to the kitchen, humming a tune from her teenage years.
**213.** The night grew quiet once more, as if nothing strange had ever happened—except for one pair of dinosaur pajamas, faded and child-size, folded neatly on the foot of Ginny’s bed.
**214.** And that is how Ginny’s midnight began again, full of jewelry, tank tops, and a slightly mysterious feeling that all was exactly as it should be.

Wrists thinned and grew more angular. **138.** 15. Jumping veins appeared on the hand backs. **139.** 16. Old splinters and calluses vanished, replaced by Ginny’s faint burn mark. **140.** 17. Knuckles wrinkled and bent. **141.** 18. Silver chain of her charm bracelet wove its way around. **142.** 19. Arms moved with a woman’s purposeful grace. **143.** 20. Shoulders hunched instinctively, just a bit. **144.** Finally, Timothy’s head, hair, and face cracked: **145.** 1. Hairline shifted upward, brightening to Ginny’s brassy red. **146.** 2. Roots lengthened, layering in that signature bob. **147.** 3. Streaks of silver appeared, particularly at the temples. **148.** 4. Forehead wrinkled with familiar laugh lines. **149.** 5. Brows thinned out, reshaping into Ginny’s arch. **150.** 6. Eyelashes faded, then thickened with mascara tint. **151.** 7. Cheeks sagged, bones reforming. **152.** 8. Jaw shifted, growing pointier. **153.** 9. Chin dimple appeared beneath the new smile. **154.** 10. Crows-feet developed beside gray eyes. **155.** 11. Nose elongated slightly, acquiring Ginny’s little bump. **156.** 12. Ears pierced and sparkling gold hoops appeared. **157.** 13. Neck stretched elegantly, all wiry muscles and veins. **158.** 14. Mole appeared on the left cheek. **159.** 15. Lips thinned slightly but curved with a knowing smile. **160.** 16. Little wrinkles mapped the upper lip. **161.** 17. Skin felt papery, more delicate. **162.** 18. Adam’s apple receded; neck lost its boyish bulk. **163.** 19. Eyes lost green-hazel and blazed clear, flinty gray. **164.** 20. Crows feet deepened. **165.** 21. Mouth dropped every little frown Ginny had ever worn. **166.** 22. Eyebrows bushier, then tamed by invisible tweezers. **167.** 23. Hair on crown arranged into the infamous bob. **168.** 24. Chin skin puckered. **169.** 25. Teeth shifted into Ginny’s unique smile. **170.** 26. Nose brightened with memory of sunburns past. **171.** 27. Ears now sported hoops and faint little sun spots. **172.** 28. Glasses—tortoiseshell and gigantic—lifted off the sleeping Ginny and clicked into place on Timothy’s face. **173.** 29. The white visor fluttered onto his head, feeling utterly familiar. **174.** 30. Head felt heavy, like memories crowding in. **175.** In a panic, Timothy—now Ginny—yanked off the sunglasses and visor, tossing both onto the rug, and kicked off the flip flops. **176.** Meanwhile, the real Aunt Ginny’s body on the couch shimmered and evaporated, dissolving into dust motes that flickered away under the lamp, leaving only a hint of her floral perfume. **177.** Six pieces of jewelry materialized on Timothy’s wrists, fingers, ankles, and ears, each shimmering into place: **178.** 1. Gold hoops on ears **179.** 2. Chunky turquoise bead necklace **180.** 3. Silver charm bracelet **181.** 4. Opal ring on finger **182.** 5. Woven leather anklet **183.** 6. Delicate silver heart anklet **184.** Ginny (formerly Timothy) yanked each piece off and dropped them on the table. **185.** Flashes of new memories roared: Ginny’s high school, first car, decades of girlfriends and family parties, losing pets, grinning in band photos, her first teaching job, summer road trips, heartbreaks, patching up with Patricia—until there was nothing of Timothy left. **186.** She grabbed her head, groaning. **187.** “What on earth? Ginny, what did you get up for? Why am I…” she blinked, “…still wearing these shorts?” **188.** Ginny spotted her black flip flops and wriggled her fuchsia-painted toes with pleasure, deciding to slide them back on. **189.** One by one, she gathered her jewelry and put each piece back on—here’s the step by step: **190.** 1. Left gold hoop on ear. **191.** 2. Right gold hoop on ear. **192.** 3. Necklace clasped around her neck. **193.** 4. Charm bracelet secured on wrist. **194.** 5. Cocktail ring slipped onto right hand. **195.** 6. Leather anklet around left ankle. **196.** 7. Silver anklet with heart on right ankle. **197.** 8. Extra turquoise bead bracelet for the left wrist. **198.** 9-20. Six silver stacking rings on left hand, one by one. **199.** 21-34. Beaded and gold bangles layered up both wrists. **200.** 35. Shell choker thrown on for flair. **201.** 36. A final large, gaudy blue earring in her upper left ear. **202.** Ginny (once Timothy) picked up her sunglasses and perched them on her nose, feeling safe behind their wide frames. **203.** She snatched up her visor and slipped it over her now perfectly bobbed hair. **204.** Clip-clopping in those familiar flip-flops, she made her way to the big living room mirror. **205.** “Ginny, honestly, what are you doing up at midnight, lecturing yourself dressed like a flamingo on summer vacation?” **206.** She surveyed her tank top and shorts, wiggled her fingers at her reflection, and decided, **207.** “It’s your house and your couch, Ginny. You look fabulous. Even if it’s midnight.” **208.** She giggled and muttered, **209.** “As long as Patricia doesn’t catch me dressed like this again, I’m fine.” **210.** She struck a sassy pose for the mirror. **211.** “You still got it, Ginny. Even if you can’t remember what you came down here for.” **212.** With nothing of Timothy left except a vague trace of longing, Ginny strutted off to the kitchen, humming a tune from her teenage years. **213.** The night grew quiet once more, as if nothing strange had ever happened—except for one pair of dinosaur pajamas, faded and child-size, folded neatly on the foot of Ginny’s bed. **214.** And that is how Ginny’s midnight began again, full of jewelry, tank tops, and a slightly mysterious feeling that all was exactly as it should be.
