"The Transformation of Henry Joseph Carter: A Tale of the Hawaiian Homestead"

Response: 1. Henry Joseph Carter was a boy of unusual curiosity. 2. Born on June 15, 2020, he was four years old. 3. Henry was relatively tall for his age, standing at 3'6". 4. He weighed 47 pounds. 5. His hair was a soft, sandy brown, slightly wavy, kept short on the sides and longer on top. 6. His eyes were a vibrant blue, wide and expressive, framed by long lashes. 7. Henry’s skin was pale, with the faintest hint of summer freckles across his nose. 8. By all accounts, Henry was a white boy, living in Oregon with his family. 9. Today, Henry was at his best friend Marco’s house. 10. Marco’s house had a large living room packed with toys and books. 11. But Henry was mostly interested in the computer tucked into the spare room. 12. Marco’s older brother, Liam, had left the computer logged in. 13. "Can I play on the computer?" Henry asked Marco, who nodded, focused on building a castle with blocks. 14. Henry hopped in the plush chair and clicked around, marveling at the swirling icons. 15. Suddenly, a bright banner appeared with the words: "Take the Stereotype Quiz! What living stereotype are you?" 16. Henry giggled, rereading the banner. “A stereotype? What’s that?” he mused goofily to himself. 17. Intrigued by the idea, he imagined himself knowing all the answers, his fingers eager. 18. Seeing the big “Start Quiz” button, Henry clicked it, eyes wide with excitement. 19. The screen displayed the message: “Answer the following 25 questions to discover your true living stereotype!” 20. Henry leaned in, reading the questions one by one as they appeared in quoted text. 21. “ ‘What is your favorite food?’ ” 22. “ ‘Are you more outdoorsy or indoorsy?’ ” 23. “ ‘Do you like the beach or the mountains?’ ” 24. “ ‘Do you enjoy music? If so, what kind?’ ” 25. “ ‘How would your friends describe you?’ ” 26. “ ‘Are you loud or quiet?’ ” 27. “ ‘What color do you wear most often?’ ” 28. “ ‘Do you prefer hot or cold weather?’ ” 29. “ ‘How do you feel about dancing?’ ” 30. “ ‘Do you have a pet?’ ” 31. “ ‘What is your favorite animal?’ ” 32. “ ‘Do you like spicy food?’ ” 33. “ ‘Are you a leader or a follower?’ ” 34. “ ‘Do you watch a lot of TV or movies?’ ” 35. “ ‘Do you play sports?’ ” 36. “ ‘Do you like reading books?’ ” 37. “ ‘Do you enjoy parties?’ ” 38. “ ‘Do you like girls or boys?’ ” 39. “ ‘Do you consider yourself a king or a queen?’ ” 40. “ ‘Are you good at cooking?’ ” 41. “ ‘Do you like wearing bright colors?’ ” 42. “ ‘Do you have a lot of friends?’ ” 43. “ ‘Do you prefer sweet or salty snacks?’ ” 44. “ ‘Are you more serious or silly?’ ” 45. “ ‘Do you like traveling?’ ” 46. Henry grinned, finding some questions easy, others tricky, but he felt confident. 47. He began answering each question in a formatted list from 1 to 25. 48. 1. “My favorite food is macaroni and cheese.” 49. 2. “I’m more indoorsy—I like playing games and drawing.” 50. 3. “I like the mountains because they have snow.” 51. 4. “I enjoy music, especially funny songs.” 52. 5. “My friends say I am silly!” 53. 6. “I am loud, I guess!” 54. 7. “I wear blue most often.” 55. 8. “I prefer cold weather—it’s fun.” 56. 9. “I like dancing even if I’m not good.” 57. 10. “I have a pet goldfish named Jerry.” 58. 11. “My favorite animal is the dog.” 59. 12. “I don’t like spicy food.” 60. 13. “I think I’m a leader—sometimes.” 61. 14. “I watch movies more than TV.” 62. 15. “I play soccer at school.” 63. 16. “I love reading books about dinosaurs.” 64. 17. “Parties are fun but only if there’s cake.” 65. 18. “I like girls; I think they’re cool.” 66. 19. “I am a king!” 67. 20. “I’m not very good at cooking.” 68. 21. “I like bright colors but usually wear blue.” 69. 22. “I have a few friends.” 70. 23. “I prefer sweet snacks.” 71. 24. “I’m silly most of the time.” 72. 25. “I love traveling, especially to grandma’s house.” 73. Henry clicked “Submit,” waiting for his result. 74. After a pause, the result popped up: “You are a fat Hawaiian woman!” 75. Henry blinked in surprise. 76. “That’s... not right?” he muttered, peering at the screen. 77. Suddenly, Henry felt a strange tingling sensation in his feet. 78. It crawled up from the toes, a prickling warmth. 79. Curious fear gripped him, though he tried to wiggle his toes. 80. But his feet felt heavier, and the tingling persisted. 81.

Her mind never once recalled a boy named Henry. 266. A peaceful certainty washed through her—this was who she was, always. 267.

And the fat Hawaiian woman walked onward, a new legend begun. 270. The breeze tugged at her muʻumuʻu, bright flowers swaying—her life, her story, vibrant and true.
