34. He was Hispanic, his skin a warm toasted tan.

35. Mateo’s mother was home that afternoon.
36. Her name was Yolanda Torres.
37. Yolanda was 56 years old, being 15 years older than Linda.
38. Her birthday was August 1, 1967.
39. Her birth year was 1967.
40. Yolanda was 5 foot 7 inches tall, a sturdy presence in the home.
41. She weighed 335 pounds, her body generously curving.
42. Her hair was dark brown—long, wavy, and spilling down her back in wild curly layers.
43. Her eyes were a dark espresso brown, deep and lively.
44. She was dressed in loungewear on this lazy afternoon.
45. Her tank top was turquoise blue, splattered with a pattern of embroidered yellow sunflowers.
46. The straps were broad, revealing sun-browned shoulders and a little lace trim at the neckline.
47. The fabric stretched comfortably over her form, soft cotton hugging her sides.
48. Yolanda’s shorts were white cotton, with a faded floral print and an elastic waistband that sat high on her waist.
49. Tiny bluebirds flitted across the fabric, worn soft from years of use.
50. On her feet were flip flops—bright cherry red, with thick rubber soles and wide glittery straps.
51. They made a cheerful clopping sound against the tile floor when she walked.
52. Yolanda’s toenails gleamed with glossy red polish that matched her fingernails.
53. She wore five pieces of jewelry:

2. A chunky turquoise bracelet with silver etching.
3. A long golden chain with a medallion resting on her chest.
4. A pair of large hoop earrings, bright gold.
5. An ankle bracelet made of multicolored glass beads.

54. That afternoon, Yolanda needed to run an errand.
55. “Mateo, mijo, vamos a la tienda—a bit quick, okay?” she called, ruffling his hair.
56. “Samuel, you okay by yourself for just a little?”
57. Samuel nodded, and Mateo shot him an apologetic grin.
58. Mateo and Yolanda grabbed car keys and shopping bags, heading out the door.
59. The sound of laughter, a car ignition, and then silence settled through the house.
60. Now, Samuel found himself alone in a place he’d never explored without company.

61. His curiosity bubbled inside him.
62. He tiptoed from the living room, peeking at photos on the hallway walls.
63. There were family portraits—Mateo as a baby, Yolanda as a young bride.
64. Something drew him further, past the kitchen to the forbidden: Yolanda’s room.
65. The door was open just an inch.
66. Samuel couldn’t resist.
67. He slipped inside, the scent of vanilla-scented air freshener thick in the room.
68. He surveyed the plush red comforter, the magazines on the nightstand, the heap of shoes near the closet.
69. He spied her flip flops near the bed.
70. Kicking off his sneakers and tugging off his socks, Samuel wandered across the plush carpet.
71. Suddenly he tripped on the edge of a rug—he stumbled, falling hard against the heap of flip flops.
72. “Ow!” he muttered.
73. He scrambled to his knees, realizing his shoes were nowhere in reach.
74. His toes squished into Yolanda’s enormous red flip flops.
75. They dwarfed his feet, far too big for an 8-year-old.
76. Embarrassed, Samuel tried to shake them off.
77. His little feet seemed glued inside.
78. He wiggled, twisted, jerked—but the flip flops didn’t budge.

176. A Hispanic lilt flavored even his inarticulate cries.
177. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he wailed uncontrollably.
178. Memories slid, one by one, out of his mind:

2. Linda and Emily, faceless.
3. Childhood, washed away.
4. Playing cars, erased.
5. Samuel—the name—forgotten.
6. Emily’s gentle voice—a ghostly echo.

25. She was only Yolanda Torres, and nothing else.

203. Suddenly, the woman shrieked, “!AYYYYYY!”
204. Tears streamed down her wrinkled cheeks as she sobbed, “Wh-why me? Por qué…,” glancing helplessly around her room.
205. She sniffed, wiped her cheeks with her palm, and hurriedly adjusted her footing, flip-flops clopping on the tile.
206. Her new balance felt natural; still, she shuddered with every step toward the mirror.
207. She touched her chin and moaned, her accent thick and heavy, “What you doing, Yolanda, why you no remember anything? Ay, Yolee-andah, what you was supposed be doing? Mateo, I tol’ him to clean the rooms, Dios mio…”
208. She shook her head at her reflection, the wild hair and flustered cheeks.
209. She snatched her turquoise purse from the bedpost, slinging it over her beefy shoulder.
210. She found her sunglasses on the nightstand, placing them on her forehead.
211. She hurried to the kitchen, feet clip-clopping.
212. She cooked herself a quick snack: toasting two corn tortillas on the cast iron pan, mashing ripe avocado with a sprinkle of salt and lime, and stacking the tortillas with avocado, queso fresco, and a drizzle of hot sauce.
213. She scolded herself, slapping her fingers for not tying up her hair, growling, “Ay, Yolanda, you never put yo’ hair up, no wonder it get so frizzy!”
214. She fixed her bun:
1. Flipped her head down, tousled her curls.
2. Gathered hair in both hands, smoothing it upward.
3. Twisted the long lengths in a coil above her nape.
4. Pinned with two bobby pins, securing it loosely.
5. Tugged out stray locks, letting fringe frame her face.

219. She finished her snack, wolfing down the avocado-topped tortillas with a satisfied grunt.
220. She hurried from the house, locking the main door behind her.
221. Sunglasses slid down, shielding her eyes.
222. At her car, she caught her reflection in the door and exclaimed, “Ey, Yolanda! Ay dios, you lookin’ fuego today, you got style, girl, sí señora…”
223. She giggled, getting in, purse on the passenger seat, window down.
224. She drove quickly to the local Mexican market, humming ranchera tunes all the way.
225. Inside the store, she wiped her brow and grabbed a shopping cart.
226. She set her purse inside, glasses pushed atop her curls.
227. She made her way through the produce aisle grabbing:
- Five ripe avocados.
- Six tomatoes on the vine.
- Cilantro, two hefty bunches.
- Red and green bell peppers.
- A sack of yellow onions.
- Serrano chiles, a pound.
- Queso fresco, two wheels.
- Tortillas, fresh and warm.
- Chicken thighs, a double pack.
- Pork shoulder, for slow cooking.
- Bags of rice and dry black beans.

237. She rolled the cart past the beer section and slid two cases of Corona and two of Modelo underneath.
238. Check-out lines bustled up front, and she loaded groceries onto the counter.
239. The cashier, a bored young woman, said, “Ma’am, I need to see your ID for the alcohol.”
240. Yolanda bellowed, “!QUE! I fifty-six year old—you no need my ID, no necesito nada! Ay dios, look at all this wrinkles, look at my hair—you think I’m niña? Psssh, you silly, mija. I have grandbabies this big!”
241. The cashier rolled her eyes, muttering, “Typical Mexican,” but let the beers pass.
242. Yolanda stiffened, snapping, “Ay, typical is so hardworking, bringing family, cooking good food—not like your lasagna from a box!”
243. She tugged her sunglasses down, loaded her groceries into her car, returned the shopping cart, and slid into the driver’s seat.
244. She muttered, “Ay, time to open up mi cerveza…”
245. Delighted, she said aloud, “Which one, Yolanda? Modelo, es muy frío… I gonna drink the Modelo first, hee hee!”
246. As she pulled out, Mateo shouted from the backseat, “Ma’, can I have one too, not the juice, the other one?”
247. She scolded, “Ay, no chico, the cerveza is for mamis—and you too pequeño! Maybe when you grow up and got big mustache, okay?”
248. She giggled again, driving home, imagining Mateo’s goofy mustache.
249. The sun shone on her, and for now, Yolanda felt at home—confident, loud, loving, and very much herself, even if she remembered nothing else.
250. And in the heart of the vibrant home waiting for her, Yolanda’s story carried on, a mixture of tough lessons, strong love, and the sweet memory of being true to herself, even when she’d once been a boy.

He tried to pry the flip flops off, but his grip was weak, uncoordinated. 97. The tingling pulsed up his calves. 98. His legs began to change: 1. Shin bones lengthened, thickness swelling. 2. Pasty skin gave way to warm golden tan. 3. His knees broadened, creaking loudly. 4. Softness crept in, thighs thickening with solid curves. 5. Fine hair shrank away, skin smoothing. 6. Calf muscles rounded with fat and age. 7. Dimples appeared above his knees. 8. His hips widened, inch by inch. 9. Veins became more pronounced, oddly comforting. 10. Cellulite padded onto the skin’s unseen layers. 11. A snatch of white and bluebird patterned cotton formed at his waist. 12. The shorts expanded up his thighs, elastic snug at his new hips. 13. The shorts billowed with familiar fabric, warming him with their softness. 14. Patterns danced—faded bluebirds and flowers. 15. Samuel’s lower body was now completely adult, female, and aged. 113. He whimpered as the tingling entered his abdomen and chest: 1. Waist widened, belly swelling with softness. 2. His navel shifted, shifting higher and rounder on a plumper belly. 3. Faint stretch marks etched themselves along his sides. 4. A feeling of gravity pulled down his skin. 5. His chest swelled, fat collecting in two soft, heavy mounds where his boyish chest had been. 6. Nipples enlarged, skin rougher and darker. 7. Breasts sagged slightly, flesh lumpy and new. 8. His back arched, ribs shifting for a matronly posture. 9. The tank top, turquoise with yellow sunflowers, appeared, hugging his new shape. 10. The soft lace trim tickled his neck. 11. Shoulders broadened, freckles fading. 12. Between his chest and stomach now was clear separation, a softness unfamiliar to him. 13. He could feel the sweat collecting beneath heavy breasts. 14. The tank top’s fabric pressed soothingly against his upper arms. 15. Samuel’s torso was now Yolanda’s, plump and aged. 128. He watched, horrified, as his arms and hands changed: 1. His arms thickened with new flesh, pale skin darkening. 2. Veins stood out, sinews disappearing beneath fat. 3. Hairs vanished on his forearms. 4. His elbows roughened, skin catching and wrinkling. 5. His shoulders developed little ridges of age. 6. Fingers grew long, wide, and rounded. 7. Knuckles seemed to thicken, rings forming faint indentations. 8. Palms swelled, lines etched deeper. 9. Fingernails spread, squaring at the tip. 10. Red polish painted each nail, shiny and smooth. 11. Wrinkles and age spots dotted the skin subtly. 12. His wrists thickened, leaving a faint impression where a bracelet rested. 13. Soft, cushiony flesh appeared just below each thumb. 14. A faint scent of jasmine lotion wafted from his hands. 15. His arms and hands now matched Yolanda’s exactly. 143. He sobbed, “I look so girly don’t want to be my friend’s mommy she’s so old.” 144. The transformation reached his head, face, and hair: 1. Ears stretched larger, lobes plumper. 2. His jaw rounded, losing boyish sharpness. 3. His chin softened and doubled. 4. Mouth widened, lips puckered full and pink. 5. Nose broadened, nostrils flaring. 6. Cheeks rounded with faint dimples. 7. Skin darkened, tan spreading up. 8. Whisker shadows vanished, replaced with smooth skin. 9. Fine lines crept in around his mouth. 10. Rosy color sparkled on his high cheekbones. 11. Eyebrows widened, thickening. 12. Eyelashes grew longer, darker. 13. Eyelids drooped slightly, crow’s feet forming. 14. His forehead creased. 15. His eyes darkened to deep espresso brown, larger and more almond shaped. 16. Forehead grew broader. 17. Jaw relaxed, shaking with emotion. 18. Ears were adorned with hoop earrings that formed instantly. 19. Hair burst out, dark brown and curly, cascading in layers down his back. 20. Texture roughened, split ends forming. 21. Stray hairs settled in messy waves over his forehead. 22. A golden chain shimmered, dangling at his neckline. 23. Wrinkles deepened at the corners of his eyes. 24. Eyeliner flicked on, subtly enhancing his sleepy eyes. 25. Samuel’s face and hair were now Yolanda’s, completed. 169. Five pieces of jewelry shimmered into existence, one after the other: 1. The thick gold wedding ring—left hand. 2. The chunky turquoise bracelet—right wrist. 3. The medallion chain—resting on his chest. 4. Large gold hoop earrings—both ears. 5. The multicolored beaded anklet—right ankle. 175. Samuel’s voice creaked, then thickened, rolling into a deep and singsongy accent—the voice was unmistakably Yolanda’s. 176. A Hispanic lilt flavored even his inarticulate cries. 177. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he wailed uncontrollably. 178. Memories slid, one by one, out of his mind: 1. His bedroom, now unfamiliar. 2. Linda and Emily, faceless. 3. Childhood, washed away. 4. Playing cars, erased. 5. Samuel—the name—forgotten. 6. Emily’s gentle voice—a ghostly echo. 7. Grandma stories, fading. 8. Samuel and Mateo’s afternoons—gone. 9. Birthdays gone. 10. His old face a stranger. 11. He grasped desperately for Mateo, but even his face was shifting in memory. 12. Only Yolanda’s confidence, her routines, her jokes, her lists, her identity, remained. 13. Shopping lists, recipes—so familiar. 14. Her favorite color—turquoise. 15. Her wedding ring, how she’d earned every wrinkle. 16. Her son, Mateo. 17. The taste of beer on a hot day. 18. The sound of flip flops on tile. 19. Her own face in the mirror. 20. Mateo’s birth—her pain, her joy. 21. Her first love. 22. The old ’95 Ford parked on the curb. 23. Shopping at the mercado. 24. Every thought, every habit—Yolanda. 25. She was only Yolanda Torres, and nothing else. 203. Suddenly, the woman shrieked, “!AYYYYYY!” 204. Tears streamed down her wrinkled cheeks as she sobbed, “Wh-why me? Por qué…,” glancing helplessly around her room. 205. She sniffed, wiped her cheeks with her palm, and hurriedly adjusted her footing, flip-flops clopping on the tile. 206. Her new balance felt natural; still, she shuddered with every step toward the mirror. 207. She touched her chin and moaned, her accent thick and heavy, “What you doing, Yolanda, why you no remember anything? Ay, Yolee-andah, what you was supposed be doing? Mateo, I tol’ him to clean the rooms, Dios mio…” 208. She shook her head at her reflection, the wild hair and flustered cheeks. 209. She snatched her turquoise purse from the bedpost, slinging it over her beefy shoulder. 210. She found her sunglasses on the nightstand, placing them on her forehead. 211. She hurried to the kitchen, feet clip-clopping. 212. She cooked herself a quick snack: toasting two corn tortillas on the cast iron pan, mashing ripe avocado with a sprinkle of salt and lime, and stacking the tortillas with avocado, queso fresco, and a drizzle of hot sauce. 213. She scolded herself, slapping her fingers for not tying up her hair, growling, “Ay, Yolanda, you never put yo’ hair up, no wonder it get so frizzy!” 214. She fixed her bun: 1. Flipped her head down, tousled her curls. 2. Gathered hair in both hands, smoothing it upward. 3. Twisted the long lengths in a coil above her nape. 4. Pinned with two bobby pins, securing it loosely. 5. Tugged out stray locks, letting fringe frame her face. 219. She finished her snack, wolfing down the avocado-topped tortillas with a satisfied grunt. 220. She hurried from the house, locking the main door behind her. 221. Sunglasses slid down, shielding her eyes. 222. At her car, she caught her reflection in the door and exclaimed, “Ey, Yolanda! Ay dios, you lookin’ fuego today, you got style, girl, sí señora…” 223. She giggled, getting in, purse on the passenger seat, window down. 224. She drove quickly to the local Mexican market, humming ranchera tunes all the way. 225. Inside the store, she wiped her brow and grabbed a shopping cart. 226. She set her purse inside, glasses pushed atop her curls. 227. She made her way through the produce aisle grabbing: - Five ripe avocados. - Six tomatoes on the vine. - Cilantro, two hefty bunches. - Red and green bell peppers. - A sack of yellow onions. - Serrano chiles, a pound. - Queso fresco, two wheels. - Tortillas, fresh and warm. - Chicken thighs, a double pack. - Pork shoulder, for slow cooking. - Bags of rice and dry black beans. 237. She rolled the cart past the beer section and slid two cases of Corona and two of Modelo underneath. 238. Check-out lines bustled up front, and she loaded groceries onto the counter. 239. The cashier, a bored young woman, said, “Ma’am, I need to see your ID for the alcohol.” 240. Yolanda bellowed, “!QUE! I fifty-six year old—you no need my ID, no necesito nada! Ay dios, look at all this wrinkles, look at my hair—you think I’m niña? Psssh, you silly, mija. I have grandbabies this big!” 241. The cashier rolled her eyes, muttering, “Typical Mexican,” but let the beers pass. 242. Yolanda stiffened, snapping, “Ay, typical is so hardworking, bringing family, cooking good food—not like your lasagna from a box!” 243. She tugged her sunglasses down, loaded her groceries into her car, returned the shopping cart, and slid into the driver’s seat. 244. She muttered, “Ay, time to open up mi cerveza…” 245. Delighted, she said aloud, “Which one, Yolanda? Modelo, es muy frío… I gonna drink the Modelo first, hee hee!” 246. As she pulled out, Mateo shouted from the backseat, “Ma’, can I have one too, not the juice, the other one?” 247. She scolded, “Ay, no chico, the cerveza is for mamis—and you too pequeño! Maybe when you grow up and got big mustache, okay?” 248. She giggled again, driving home, imagining Mateo’s goofy mustache. 249. The sun shone on her, and for now, Yolanda felt at home—confident, loud, loving, and very much herself, even if she remembered nothing else. 250. And in the heart of the vibrant home waiting for her, Yolanda’s story carried on, a mixture of tough lessons, strong love, and the sweet memory of being true to herself, even when she’d once been a boy.
