41. Her hair was a long dark cascade, wavy and curly, reaching halfway down her back, always smoothed with coconut oil.
42. Juana’s eyes were a deep brown, sparkling beneath thick lashes.
43. Today, she wore a loose-fitting candy-apple red tank top decorated with big white hibiscus flowers.
44. The tank top had wide straps, a low scoop neck, and small gold sequins stitched along the edges, catching the morning sunlight.
45. Her shorts were faded denim, high-waisted, with frayed edges and elegant floral embroidery along the sides.
46. Her flip-flops were chunky, lavender rubber with glitter threaded throughout the straps, and a gold J-shaped charm on the left sandal.
47. Juana’s toenails were painted a cherry-bright glossy red.
48. Her fingers had matching polish, set off by five distinct pieces of jewelry:
1. A thick gold wedding ring on her left hand.
2. A silver chain bracelet with a tiny heart locket.
3. Two stacked jade bangles on her right wrist.
4. A wide, ornate turquoise ring on her right middle finger.
5. Large, glimmering gold hoop earrings.
49. Midmorning, Juana called out, “Carlos, we need to go order your abuelita’s cake now!”
50. Carlos grabbed his shoes, winked at Alex, and waved, “Be right back, man!”
51. Alex nodded, sprawled on the living room floor.
52. Juana called, “Alex, mijo, if you need snacks, there is more conchas on the table.”
53. She smiled, waving her jangly hand as she and Carlos headed out.
54. The screen door creaked shut, the house suddenly settling into silence.
55. Alex got up, curiosity bubbling inside him.
56. He’d never been to his friend’s house alone before.
57. He tiptoed around the living room, peeking at framed photos and knick-knacks.
58. A shelf held a snow globe collection and a faded wedding photo of Carlos’s parents.
59. Wondering what else lay in this cozy home, Alex’s eyes wandered down the hallway.
60. A door stood slightly ajar at the far end.
61. He hesitated, then padded forward, bare feet sinking into plush carpet.
62. The room was Juana’s—her perfume lingered sweetly in the air.
63. Alex tiptoed inside, marveling at the lush blankets and glitzy dresser.
64. He knelt to peer at a music box on the vanity.
65. Suddenly, he stumbled, tripping on his untied sneakers.
66. His socks slid off as he tried to regain balance.
67. In his clumsy tumble, he crashed right into a pair of Juana’s flip-flops.
68. He had no intention of wearing them, but his toes slid helplessly into the still-warm sandals.
69. He tried to shake them off, but his feet stuck tight.
70. Suddenly, a tingle shot up his legs.
71. Alex’s transformation began with his feet:
1. His toes spread wider, growing stubbier and chubbier.
2. His arches flattened, the skin thickening and roughening.
3. Tiny cracks creaked through his heels, the bones shifting and aging decades in seconds.
4. The pale skin darkened, blending into a warm, Mexican tan.
5. Hair vanished from his knuckles and toes, supplanted by soft, smoother skin.
6. The veins faded beneath the darkening layers.
7. Every toenail began swelling, glossy.
8. The nails grew long, wide, and shapely—far too feminine.
9. Red polish, as vibrant as a ripe apple, spread perfectly over each toenail.
10. The shape of his feet plumped, each toe acquiring a luxurious roundness.
11. His heels softened, looking freshly pedicured.
12. The soles lost all boyish roughness, tinged cocoa-tan.
13. A golden chain shimmered around his ankle.
14. His foot hair vanished completely.
15. In moments, lively, girly, tanned feet filled and overflowed the rubber flip-flops.
72. Alex shrieked, “Noooooooooooo! My feet—so gross and girly! Help, please!”
73. Next, his legs began to snap, tingle, and age:
1. The bones stretched, growing denser and then plumper.
2. Kneecaps swelled out, growing soft around the edges.
3. His calves widened and noticed a pronounced curve where muscles softened to fat.
4. Thighs thickened, becoming as broad as sturdy tree trunks.
5. The little nicks and scars of a boy’s life vanished, replaced by smooth, tan, womanly skin.
6. Dimpled flesh pocked out above his knees.
7. Sparse leg hair dissolved, leaving supple shiny skin.
8. Knees began to throb, knotting with a slight ache of middle age.
9. His skin tone deepened to match his feet—a rich, golden brown.
10. Cellulite appeared, subtle at first, growing more evident.
11. Every muscle stretched, rounding beneath forming layers of chub.
12. The proportions shifted—his knees now set further apart.
13. Stray veins appeared, faintly blue and real beneath the skin.
14. In a flash, blue denim shorts formed, hugging and straining against his shapely thighs.
15. The frayed edges and bright embroidery appeared as if conjured by magic, a match to Juana’s shorts.
74. Alex whimpered, feeling the denim squeeze his new bulk.
75. His torso and chest warped next:
1. His waist widened, softening with fat and maturing muscle.
2. Stomach flab ballooned, rippling with experience and age.
3. Hips flared outward, broad and generous.
4. The denim cut tightly at the new expansive figure.
5. Chest tingled, two heavy sensations mounting and mounting on his upper torso.
6. Flesh swelled into two massive, matronly breasts, encased beneath imaginary fabric.
7. His ribs expanded and ached with every breath.
8. Skin roughened and darkened with the evidence of years lived.
9. Stretch marks flickered into being.
10. Shoulders sloped because of added girth and weight.
11. His back thickened, belly sagging below.
12. Soft rolls formed under his blossoming arms.
13. Flabby armpits developed, dark and tender.
14. Soft fuzz replaced his peachy boy chest, then vanished as a tank top burst into being, identical to Juana’s.
15. His neckline plunged, outlined with gold sequins and flowers.
76. His arms and hands shifted:
1. Upper arms ballooned, plush and round.
2. Elbows gained age spots.
3. Lower arms softened, hair dissolving.
4. Wrists thickened.
5. Forearms fleshed out.
6. His bony hands grew plumper and wider.

8. Fingernails lengthened, leveling to a perfect oval.
9. Red polish glossed over his growing nails.
10. Fingers stubbed up, covered with smooth dark skin.
11. Knuckles softened, and gold bangles appeared on his wrist.
12. Age freckles dotted the backs of his hands.
13. Rings formed on his fingers, including one enormous turquoise stone and a wedding band.
14. Silver bracelet clicked into place, a tiny heart swaying with each movement.
15. The hands looked like those that had tended a family for decades.
77. He could only stare, shuddering, “I look so girly! Don’t want to be my friend’s mommy—she’s so old!”
78. But it didn’t stop. His head, hair, and face transformed:
1. His round boyish jaw melted into a rounded, plump chin.
2. Cheeks ballooned, dimples deepening beneath layers of age.
3. Nostrils widened, nose growing broad and slightly flattened.
4. His lips thickened, becoming soft and full with natural creases.
5. A faint mustache vanished from his upper lip.
6. Deep laugh lines emerged at the corners of his mouth.
7. Eyebrows broadened and arched, thick and dark.
8. Eyelashes grew long and dense.
9. Crow’s feet lined his eyes.
10. His skin tone swirled to a deep, sun-kissed tan.
11. Black hairs pushed from his scalp, the youth replaced by bouncy, curly tendrils.
12. His hair grew uncontrollably, sweeping past his shoulders.
13. The hair became wavy, forming tight curls at the ends.
14. Gray strands sprinkled throughout.
15. Forehead wrinkled in the way of middle-aged worry.
16. Ears plumped out slightly, earrings pierced through.
17. Pores widened.
18. A little mole appeared high on his cheek.
19. Cheeks freckled with sunspots.
20. Jawline plumped, softening beyond recognition.
21. Double chin formed.
22. Deep-set brown eyes with golden flecks replaced his blue ones.
23. Dark circles hinted at long, sleepless years.
24. A wide smile formed, silver-capped tooth peeking.
25. Five pieces of jewelry shimmered: the wedding ring, silver bracelet, jade bangles, turquoise ring, and giant gold hoops in her ears.
79. Alex tried to scream, but his voice bubbled up in accented English, “Ay no, I sound like Juana!”
80. His throat vibrated, the youthful timbre replaced by Juana’s throaty, husky resonance.
81. What once was Alex now stood, utterly Juana Rivera.
82. She looked at her new hands, sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down soft cheeks.
83. Memories began to slip and shift in her bewildered mind.
84. Alex’s memories of the Reynolds family dimmed, Carlos just a distant flicker.
85. Instead, images of long family dinners, tamales at Christmas, a wedding in a distant hot town, and baby Carlos took the forefront.
86. Soon, she only remembered being Juana Rivera.
87. “¡AYYYYYYY!” she wailed, clutching at her broad cheeks, “¿Por qué me pasa esto? ¡Dios mío, ayúdame! No entiendo...”
88. Tears made streaks on her tan cheeks, but she sniffed, dabbing at her face with a plump hand, and pulled herself together.
89. She awkwardly adjusted her new wide, sturdy feet, steadying herself.
90. Clip-clopping in the sparkly flip-flops, she shuffled to the standing mirror.
91. She poked at her chin, examining her reflection before frowning.
92. She muttered, “What you doing, Juana? Why you no remember anything? You asupposed to be at the store running errands.”
93. With newfound resolve, she huffed, “Ay, Juana, focus.”
94. She hefted her purse over her shoulder, the familiar weight comforting.
95. She grabbed large, round sunglasses and perched them on her forehead.
96. The kitchen beckoned—her stomach gurgled with a familiar hunger for a late-morning snack.
97. She went to the fridge, pulling out a pack of corn tortillas and a tub of leftover carnitas.
98. She quickly chopped a handful of onion, sprinkled cilantro and lime over the shredded meat.
99. She tossed the tortillas on the skillet, toasting them until fragrant.
100. Mixing the carnitas with a little hot sauce, she heaped the mixture into the tortillas.
101. She topped it with onions, cilantro, and a wedge of lime.
102. She slapped her hand with a firm “Juana, why you no put up your hair? Always you get hair in carnitas! Ay mujer, you so disorganized!”
103. She set her taco aside and gathered her hair into a bun:
1. She combed her curls with wide fingers.
2. She twisted the thick mass into a sturdy coil.
3. She looped a scrunchie around the bun twice for security.
4. She tucked stray wisps behind her ears.
5. She shoved a pencil through the bun for extra support.
104. Her bun set, she finished cooking, piling two more tacos on a plate.
105. She scarfed down the quick snack, licking the spicy sauce from her lips.
106. She wiped her mouth, washed her hands, and made sure to pack a facemask and wallet in her purse.
107. Swinging the purse over her sturdy shoulder, she left the house, locking the door securely.
108. She pulled her sunglasses down over her eyes, feeling the world slightly less piercing.
109. Approaching her car, Juana caught sight of her reflection in the metallic door.
110. She paused, puffed out her chest, and declared, “Ey, Juana—¡mira qué guapa estás hoy, mamacita! Eres toda una reina, sí señor!”
111. Giggling, she folded into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and drove to the nearby mercado.
112. She parked, grabbed her large black purse, and set her sunglasses over her forehead for indoor browsing.
113. Inside, the store beckoned with the savory aromas of roasting chiles and fresh pan dulce.
114. She snatched a shopping cart, set her purse inside, and checked her bun in her compact mirror.
115. Down the first aisle, she loaded up on all the necessary ingredients for a feast:
- Cornmeal for tortillas
- Masa for tamales
- Fresh limes, avocados, and jalapeños
- Bunches of cilantro and bundles of green onions
- Bags of tomatoes, tomatillos, and ripe mangos
- Red and green bell peppers
- Fat white onions and fresh garlic
- Queso fresco and crema Mexicana
- Dry black beans and white rice
- A sack of oranges for fresh-squeezed juice
- A jar of mole paste
- And a bouquet of yellow marigolds from the display
116. She hauled the heavy cart to the beer aisle.
117. Whistling, she heaved two cases of Corona and two of Modelo into the cart.
118. Her purse jangled against the cart as she headed toward the checkout.
119. The cashier, a young woman with neon pink hair, peered at Juana. “I need to see your ID if you’re buying beer.”
120. “¡QUE!” Juana sputtered, digging through her wallet with frustration.
121. She fished out her ID, flashing it with a tired sigh.
122. The cashier laughed, ringing the sale.
123. With bags loaded, Juana wheeled her cart outside.
124. She slid her sunglasses back down, feeling strong and ready for anything as she loaded the car.
125. She shuffled the cart back to the store, the sun beating down on her new body.
126. After booting up the engine and shifting in the squishy seat, she muttered to herself, “Jajaja, today is a long day. I open Corona first, yes, no time for Modelo now! Mmmm…”
127. She giggled as she pictured the icy bottle, sweat beading on the glass.
128. Pulling out of the parking lot, she turned on the radio, letting cumbia fill the car.
129. Her plump arm rested on the open window, fingers tapping to an upbeat rhythm.
130. For a second, a flash of confusion struck her as she glanced at her thick, tan wrist, bangles chiming.
131. She rolled her eyes, shaking off the moment, “No, Juana, you always get tired after mercado—you need cerveza.”
132. The small town streets blended together—the dollar store, the same old gas station, the flower shop where she got her marigolds.
133. The car rumbled over the potholes as she pulled into her driveway.
134. She grabbed the shopping bags, straining slightly with the weight.
135. The sun warmed her scalp despite her bun, sweat dotting her brow.
136. She fumbled with her keys, bags pressed to her side with her elbow.
137. Inside, she greeted the silence. “Ay, Carlos no está. I hope he remember the cake.”
138. She set the beer in the fridge and the rest of the groceries on the counter.
139. There was a reminder scribbled on the fridge: “Pollo for Grandma’s birthday!”
140. “Ay, Dios mío, casi se me olvida el pollo!” she grunted, and set a reminder on her phone.
141. Her phone buzzed.
142. A text from Carlos: “We’re almost back, mami. Did you get the stuff?”
143. “Sí, todo, mi amor,” she replied, her thick thumbs clumsily managing the tiny keys.
144. She started putting away the groceries, one heavy component at a time.
145. She glanced around the kitchen and frowned at the mess on the counter.
146. Sighing, she ran the tap, filling the sink to soak the dishes she’d left from breakfast.
147. Out of habit, she flicked on her favorite regional Mexican playlist.
148. Between the dulcet tones of José Alfredo Jiménez and the chime of her bangles, the mundane task seemed almost joyful.
149. Her new hip popped as she bent to grab a spill—she laughed, “Ehhhh, Juana needs new hips for her birthday, ayyy.”
150. As she put away the groceries, a memory flitted through her mind of Carlos as a small child, reaching for her skirt for comfort.
151. She smiled, feeling old but somehow fulfilled.
152. She checked the clock—forty-five minutes until Carlos would return.
153. She set about marinating the chicken, squeezing fresh lime and sprinkling bright orange achiote.
154. Garlic and cumin dusted the air, spicy and tangy.
155. She turned her meat, humming along as caramelized onions sizzled.
156. A sudden knock startled her.
157. Her neighbor Conchita poked her head in, “Juana, puedo tomar prestado un limón?”
158. “¡Por supuesto, comadre!” Juana beamed, passing over a fat green lime.
159. “Gracias, tienes unas uñas preciosas hoy!” Conchita admired.
160. Juana spread her hands, fanning her painted red nails. “Ay sí, me las pinté ayer. Siempre me ayuda a sentir bonita, amiga.”
161. Conchita waved goodbye, leaving Juana standing a little taller.
162. Juana poured herself a cold Corona, popping the cap and letting the fizz tickle her nose.
163. She leaned against the counter, closing her eyes, truly at home in this broad, strong body.
164. She heard the sound of the gate outside and a car door slamming.
165. A moment of anxiety flickered in her chest as she wondered if Carlos would notice anything different.
166. But as she caught sight of herself in the toaster’s reflection, it felt normal to see Juana smiling back.
167. The familiar weight, the warmth, the joy and ache—all hers now.
168. From outside, Carlos’s voice rang out: “¡Mami!”
169. The front door flew open, and Carlos barreled in, cheeks flushed from the heat.
170. “Smells good in here,” he grinned, “Did you get everything?”
171. “Claro que sí, mi amor. Ya casi listo,” Juana replied.
172. Carlos kicked off his shoes and padded into the kitchen.
173. “You look happy, mami. Did you get a new polish?” he teased, eyeing her sparkling toenails.
174. Juana winked, “Siempre. Una mujer debe cuidarse, ¿no?”
175. Carlos snickered, raiding the fridge for a soda.
176. Juana finished marinating the chicken, setting it in the oven for later.
177. “Did you get the extra beer for papá?” Carlos asked.
178. “Sí, and I got his favorite, Modelo. Tonight will be big fiesta,” she promised.
179. Carlos glanced around. “Thanks, mami—you’re the best.”
180. Juana felt a rush of affection. “Ay, mijo, you make Juana proud.”
181. She wrapped him in a tight hug, her bangles clacking together.
182. Carlos wriggled free, laughing as he slipped away to play video games.
183. Juana poured herself a fresh drink, settling into the rhythm of her new life.
184. She thought about her responsibilities—a big meal, a clean house, happy family.
185. She checked her phone for her constant reminders—pick up the cake, call her sister, Facetime her cousin in Guadalajara.
186. Juana sighed, satisfied, embracing her new reality with a wide, toothy smile.
187. Sunset glowed through the curtains, turning her tank top a richer shade of red.
188. The house buzzed with coming celebration—soon, abuelita would arrive, hungry and expectant.
189. Juana clipped her flip-flops down the hallway, prepping the table with Carlos giggling nearby.
190. She touched the gold hoop at her ear, savoring the little luxuries of the moment.
191. “Ay, Juana,” she thought, “you are lucky woman—even with all this trabajo.”
192. With practiced hands, she sliced limes, popped open more beer, and stacked tortillas high.
193. The doorbell rang, and Juana hurried to answer, her feet steady in their sparkly sandals.
194. Conchita, now with her little granddaughter in tow, greeted her at the door.
195. Other family members trickled in, all hugging and chatting in rapid-fire Spanish.
196. The fragrance of roasting chicken and fresh cilantro filled the rooms.
197. Plates clattered, laughter broke out, and Carlos recounted stories to his cousins.
198. Juana presided over the table, radiant and bustling, exchanging jokes with her husband and friends.
199. In a quiet moment, she smiled at her loved ones surrounding her.
200. She felt that her life was just as it should be—every treasure and challenge earned.
201. The radio blared cumbia, and Juana joined the dance, her hips swaying to the beat.
202. Someone snapped a picture of the whole scene—Juana, beaming, surrounded by her family.
203. Plates emptied; glasses refilled.
204. The birthday cake was shared, and abuelita clapped gleefully as candles flickered out.
205. Juana’s heart swelled as the family sang “Las Mañanitas” together.
206. Later, she washed the last of the dishes, hands warm in soapy water.
207. Carlos came up behind her, pressing a kiss to her cheek.
208. “I love you, mami,” he said.
209. Juana dabbed her cheek with a dishcloth, eyes glimmering with happy tears.
210. “También te quiero, mi vida. ALWAYS,” she replied, pulling him in for one last hug.
211. As dusk faded, the celebration lingered, and Juana stood quietly on her porch.
212. Fireflies sparked in the distance, a warm breeze skated along her arms.
213. For a moment, she had an odd sensation—as if remembering something far away.
214. But the feeling slipped away, replaced by wholeness, contentment, and peace.
215. She sipped the foam left in her glass and watched her family laugh in the glow of the party lights.
216. And in her heart, Juana Rivera knew—it was good to be loved, good to be strong, and good to be herself.
217. The night wound down, children drowsy and adults full of gratitude.
218. Juana collected the last empty bottles, humming to herself.
219. Without regret, she turned off the lights, closed the door, and headed to bed.
220. In the soft silence of night, Juana—once Alex—slept soundly, her dreams alive with the joys of her new life, never again remembering the boy she had been.

She was born in 1997. 14. Rachel was 5’5” tall. 15. She weighed 135 pounds. 16. Rachel had long, honey-blonde hair, worn in soft waves down her back. 17. Her eyes were green, with flecks of hazel. 18. Alex’s grandma was named Tiffany Reynolds. 19. Tiffany was only 41, an even younger grandmother by most standards. 20. Her birthday was October 20th. 21. Tiffany was born in 1983. 22. She had a modest height of 5’4”. 23. She weighed 140 pounds. 24. Tiffany’s hair was shoulder-length, platinum blonde, and usually worn straight. 25. Her eyes were baby blue, bright and expressive. 26. One breezy Saturday, Alex was having a sleepover at his best friend’s house. 27. His friend was named Carlos Rivera. 28. Carlos was also 13. 29. His birthday was March 12th. 30. He was born in 2011. 31. Carlos was 5’1” tall. 32. He weighed about 120 pounds. 33. His hair was dark black, kept neat but let grow into an unruly fringe. 34. He was proud of his thick, bouncy locks. 35. Carlos’s mom was at home with them; her name was Juana Rivera. 36. Juana was 56 years old, about 15 years older than Alex’s grandma. 37. She had just celebrated her birthday on May 10th. 38. She was born in 1968. 39. Juana was tall for a woman at 5’7”. 40. She was hefty, weighing about 335 pounds. 41. Her hair was a long dark cascade, wavy and curly, reaching halfway down her back, always smoothed with coconut oil. 42. Juana’s eyes were a deep brown, sparkling beneath thick lashes. 43. Today, she wore a loose-fitting candy-apple red tank top decorated with big white hibiscus flowers. 44. The tank top had wide straps, a low scoop neck, and small gold sequins stitched along the edges, catching the morning sunlight. 45. Her shorts were faded denim, high-waisted, with frayed edges and elegant floral embroidery along the sides. 46. Her flip-flops were chunky, lavender rubber with glitter threaded throughout the straps, and a gold J-shaped charm on the left sandal. 47. Juana’s toenails were painted a cherry-bright glossy red. 48. Her fingers had matching polish, set off by five distinct pieces of jewelry: 1. A thick gold wedding ring on her left hand. 2. A silver chain bracelet with a tiny heart locket. 3. Two stacked jade bangles on her right wrist. 4. A wide, ornate turquoise ring on her right middle finger. 5. Large, glimmering gold hoop earrings. 49. Midmorning, Juana called out, “Carlos, we need to go order your abuelita’s cake now!” 50. Carlos grabbed his shoes, winked at Alex, and waved, “Be right back, man!” 51. Alex nodded, sprawled on the living room floor. 52. Juana called, “Alex, mijo, if you need snacks, there is more conchas on the table.” 53. She smiled, waving her jangly hand as she and Carlos headed out. 54. The screen door creaked shut, the house suddenly settling into silence. 55. Alex got up, curiosity bubbling inside him. 56. He’d never been to his friend’s house alone before. 57. He tiptoed around the living room, peeking at framed photos and knick-knacks. 58. A shelf held a snow globe collection and a faded wedding photo of Carlos’s parents. 59. Wondering what else lay in this cozy home, Alex’s eyes wandered down the hallway. 60. A door stood slightly ajar at the far end. 61. He hesitated, then padded forward, bare feet sinking into plush carpet. 62. The room was Juana’s—her perfume lingered sweetly in the air. 63. Alex tiptoed inside, marveling at the lush blankets and glitzy dresser. 64. He knelt to peer at a music box on the vanity. 65. Suddenly, he stumbled, tripping on his untied sneakers. 66. His socks slid off as he tried to regain balance. 67. In his clumsy tumble, he crashed right into a pair of Juana’s flip-flops. 68. He had no intention of wearing them, but his toes slid helplessly into the still-warm sandals. 69. He tried to shake them off, but his feet stuck tight. 70. Suddenly, a tingle shot up his legs. 71. Alex’s transformation began with his feet: 1. His toes spread wider, growing stubbier and chubbier. 2. His arches flattened, the skin thickening and roughening. 3. Tiny cracks creaked through his heels, the bones shifting and aging decades in seconds. 4. The pale skin darkened, blending into a warm, Mexican tan. 5. Hair vanished from his knuckles and toes, supplanted by soft, smoother skin. 6. The veins faded beneath the darkening layers. 7. Every toenail began swelling, glossy. 8. The nails grew long, wide, and shapely—far too feminine. 9. Red polish, as vibrant as a ripe apple, spread perfectly over each toenail. 10. The shape of his feet plumped, each toe acquiring a luxurious roundness. 11. His heels softened, looking freshly pedicured. 12. The soles lost all boyish roughness, tinged cocoa-tan. 13. A golden chain shimmered around his ankle. 14. His foot hair vanished completely. 15. In moments, lively, girly, tanned feet filled and overflowed the rubber flip-flops. 72. Alex shrieked, “Noooooooooooo! My feet—so gross and girly! Help, please!” 73. Next, his legs began to snap, tingle, and age: 1. The bones stretched, growing denser and then plumper. 2. Kneecaps swelled out, growing soft around the edges. 3. His calves widened and noticed a pronounced curve where muscles softened to fat. 4. Thighs thickened, becoming as broad as sturdy tree trunks. 5. The little nicks and scars of a boy’s life vanished, replaced by smooth, tan, womanly skin. 6. Dimpled flesh pocked out above his knees. 7. Sparse leg hair dissolved, leaving supple shiny skin. 8. Knees began to throb, knotting with a slight ache of middle age. 9. His skin tone deepened to match his feet—a rich, golden brown. 10. Cellulite appeared, subtle at first, growing more evident. 11. Every muscle stretched, rounding beneath forming layers of chub. 12. The proportions shifted—his knees now set further apart. 13. Stray veins appeared, faintly blue and real beneath the skin. 14. In a flash, blue denim shorts formed, hugging and straining against his shapely thighs. 15. The frayed edges and bright embroidery appeared as if conjured by magic, a match to Juana’s shorts. 74. Alex whimpered, feeling the denim squeeze his new bulk. 75. His torso and chest warped next: 1. His waist widened, softening with fat and maturing muscle. 2. Stomach flab ballooned, rippling with experience and age. 3. Hips flared outward, broad and generous. 4. The denim cut tightly at the new expansive figure. 5. Chest tingled, two heavy sensations mounting and mounting on his upper torso. 6. Flesh swelled into two massive, matronly breasts, encased beneath imaginary fabric. 7. His ribs expanded and ached with every breath. 8. Skin roughened and darkened with the evidence of years lived. 9. Stretch marks flickered into being. 10. Shoulders sloped because of added girth and weight. 11. His back thickened, belly sagging below. 12. Soft rolls formed under his blossoming arms. 13. Flabby armpits developed, dark and tender. 14. Soft fuzz replaced his peachy boy chest, then vanished as a tank top burst into being, identical to Juana’s. 15. His neckline plunged, outlined with gold sequins and flowers. 76. His arms and hands shifted: 1. Upper arms ballooned, plush and round. 2. Elbows gained age spots. 3. Lower arms softened, hair dissolving. 4. Wrists thickened. 5. Forearms fleshed out. 6. His bony hands grew plumper and wider. 7. Palms hardened, surface lines deepened. 8. Fingernails lengthened, leveling to a perfect oval. 9. Red polish glossed over his growing nails. 10. Fingers stubbed up, covered with smooth dark skin. 11. Knuckles softened, and gold bangles appeared on his wrist. 12. Age freckles dotted the backs of his hands. 13. Rings formed on his fingers, including one enormous turquoise stone and a wedding band. 14. Silver bracelet clicked into place, a tiny heart swaying with each movement. 15. The hands looked like those that had tended a family for decades. 77. He could only stare, shuddering, “I look so girly! Don’t want to be my friend’s mommy—she’s so old!” 78. But it didn’t stop. His head, hair, and face transformed: 1. His round boyish jaw melted into a rounded, plump chin. 2. Cheeks ballooned, dimples deepening beneath layers of age. 3. Nostrils widened, nose growing broad and slightly flattened. 4. His lips thickened, becoming soft and full with natural creases. 5. A faint mustache vanished from his upper lip. 6. Deep laugh lines emerged at the corners of his mouth. 7. Eyebrows broadened and arched, thick and dark. 8. Eyelashes grew long and dense. 9. Crow’s feet lined his eyes. 10. His skin tone swirled to a deep, sun-kissed tan. 11. Black hairs pushed from his scalp, the youth replaced by bouncy, curly tendrils. 12. His hair grew uncontrollably, sweeping past his shoulders. 13. The hair became wavy, forming tight curls at the ends. 14. Gray strands sprinkled throughout. 15. Forehead wrinkled in the way of middle-aged worry. 16. Ears plumped out slightly, earrings pierced through. 17. Pores widened. 18. A little mole appeared high on his cheek. 19. Cheeks freckled with sunspots. 20. Jawline plumped, softening beyond recognition. 21. Double chin formed. 22. Deep-set brown eyes with golden flecks replaced his blue ones. 23. Dark circles hinted at long, sleepless years. 24. A wide smile formed, silver-capped tooth peeking. 25. Five pieces of jewelry shimmered: the wedding ring, silver bracelet, jade bangles, turquoise ring, and giant gold hoops in her ears. 79. Alex tried to scream, but his voice bubbled up in accented English, “Ay no, I sound like Juana!” 80. His throat vibrated, the youthful timbre replaced by Juana’s throaty, husky resonance. 81. What once was Alex now stood, utterly Juana Rivera. 82. She looked at her new hands, sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down soft cheeks. 83. Memories began to slip and shift in her bewildered mind. 84. Alex’s memories of the Reynolds family dimmed, Carlos just a distant flicker. 85. Instead, images of long family dinners, tamales at Christmas, a wedding in a distant hot town, and baby Carlos took the forefront. 86. Soon, she only remembered being Juana Rivera. 87. “¡AYYYYYYY!” she wailed, clutching at her broad cheeks, “¿Por qué me pasa esto? ¡Dios mío, ayúdame! No entiendo...” 88. Tears made streaks on her tan cheeks, but she sniffed, dabbing at her face with a plump hand, and pulled herself together. 89. She awkwardly adjusted her new wide, sturdy feet, steadying herself. 90. Clip-clopping in the sparkly flip-flops, she shuffled to the standing mirror. 91. She poked at her chin, examining her reflection before frowning. 92. She muttered, “What you doing, Juana? Why you no remember anything? You asupposed to be at the store running errands.” 93. With newfound resolve, she huffed, “Ay, Juana, focus.” 94. She hefted her purse over her shoulder, the familiar weight comforting. 95. She grabbed large, round sunglasses and perched them on her forehead. 96. The kitchen beckoned—her stomach gurgled with a familiar hunger for a late-morning snack. 97. She went to the fridge, pulling out a pack of corn tortillas and a tub of leftover carnitas. 98. She quickly chopped a handful of onion, sprinkled cilantro and lime over the shredded meat. 99. She tossed the tortillas on the skillet, toasting them until fragrant. 100. Mixing the carnitas with a little hot sauce, she heaped the mixture into the tortillas. 101. She topped it with onions, cilantro, and a wedge of lime. 102. She slapped her hand with a firm “Juana, why you no put up your hair? Always you get hair in carnitas! Ay mujer, you so disorganized!” 103. She set her taco aside and gathered her hair into a bun: 1. She combed her curls with wide fingers. 2. She twisted the thick mass into a sturdy coil. 3. She looped a scrunchie around the bun twice for security. 4. She tucked stray wisps behind her ears. 5. She shoved a pencil through the bun for extra support. 104. Her bun set, she finished cooking, piling two more tacos on a plate. 105. She scarfed down the quick snack, licking the spicy sauce from her lips. 106. She wiped her mouth, washed her hands, and made sure to pack a facemask and wallet in her purse. 107. Swinging the purse over her sturdy shoulder, she left the house, locking the door securely. 108. She pulled her sunglasses down over her eyes, feeling the world slightly less piercing. 109. Approaching her car, Juana caught sight of her reflection in the metallic door. 110. She paused, puffed out her chest, and declared, “Ey, Juana—¡mira qué guapa estás hoy, mamacita! Eres toda una reina, sí señor!” 111. Giggling, she folded into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and drove to the nearby mercado. 112. She parked, grabbed her large black purse, and set her sunglasses over her forehead for indoor browsing. 113. Inside, the store beckoned with the savory aromas of roasting chiles and fresh pan dulce. 114. She snatched a shopping cart, set her purse inside, and checked her bun in her compact mirror. 115. Down the first aisle, she loaded up on all the necessary ingredients for a feast: - Cornmeal for tortillas - Masa for tamales - Fresh limes, avocados, and jalapeños - Bunches of cilantro and bundles of green onions - Bags of tomatoes, tomatillos, and ripe mangos - Red and green bell peppers - Fat white onions and fresh garlic - Queso fresco and crema Mexicana - Dry black beans and white rice - A sack of oranges for fresh-squeezed juice - A jar of mole paste - And a bouquet of yellow marigolds from the display 116. She hauled the heavy cart to the beer aisle. 117. Whistling, she heaved two cases of Corona and two of Modelo into the cart. 118. Her purse jangled against the cart as she headed toward the checkout. 119. The cashier, a young woman with neon pink hair, peered at Juana. “I need to see your ID if you’re buying beer.” 120. “¡QUE!” Juana sputtered, digging through her wallet with frustration. 121. She fished out her ID, flashing it with a tired sigh. 122. The cashier laughed, ringing the sale. 123. With bags loaded, Juana wheeled her cart outside. 124. She slid her sunglasses back down, feeling strong and ready for anything as she loaded the car. 125. She shuffled the cart back to the store, the sun beating down on her new body. 126. After booting up the engine and shifting in the squishy seat, she muttered to herself, “Jajaja, today is a long day. I open Corona first, yes, no time for Modelo now! Mmmm…” 127. She giggled as she pictured the icy bottle, sweat beading on the glass. 128. Pulling out of the parking lot, she turned on the radio, letting cumbia fill the car. 129. Her plump arm rested on the open window, fingers tapping to an upbeat rhythm. 130. For a second, a flash of confusion struck her as she glanced at her thick, tan wrist, bangles chiming. 131. She rolled her eyes, shaking off the moment, “No, Juana, you always get tired after mercado—you need cerveza.” 132. The small town streets blended together—the dollar store, the same old gas station, the flower shop where she got her marigolds. 133. The car rumbled over the potholes as she pulled into her driveway. 134. She grabbed the shopping bags, straining slightly with the weight. 135. The sun warmed her scalp despite her bun, sweat dotting her brow. 136. She fumbled with her keys, bags pressed to her side with her elbow. 137. Inside, she greeted the silence. “Ay, Carlos no está. I hope he remember the cake.” 138. She set the beer in the fridge and the rest of the groceries on the counter. 139. There was a reminder scribbled on the fridge: “Pollo for Grandma’s birthday!” 140. “Ay, Dios mío, casi se me olvida el pollo!” she grunted, and set a reminder on her phone. 141. Her phone buzzed. 142. A text from Carlos: “We’re almost back, mami. Did you get the stuff?” 143. “Sí, todo, mi amor,” she replied, her thick thumbs clumsily managing the tiny keys. 144. She started putting away the groceries, one heavy component at a time. 145. She glanced around the kitchen and frowned at the mess on the counter. 146. Sighing, she ran the tap, filling the sink to soak the dishes she’d left from breakfast. 147. Out of habit, she flicked on her favorite regional Mexican playlist. 148. Between the dulcet tones of José Alfredo Jiménez and the chime of her bangles, the mundane task seemed almost joyful. 149. Her new hip popped as she bent to grab a spill—she laughed, “Ehhhh, Juana needs new hips for her birthday, ayyy.” 150. As she put away the groceries, a memory flitted through her mind of Carlos as a small child, reaching for her skirt for comfort. 151. She smiled, feeling old but somehow fulfilled. 152. She checked the clock—forty-five minutes until Carlos would return. 153. She set about marinating the chicken, squeezing fresh lime and sprinkling bright orange achiote. 154. Garlic and cumin dusted the air, spicy and tangy. 155. She turned her meat, humming along as caramelized onions sizzled. 156. A sudden knock startled her. 157. Her neighbor Conchita poked her head in, “Juana, puedo tomar prestado un limón?” 158. “¡Por supuesto, comadre!” Juana beamed, passing over a fat green lime. 159. “Gracias, tienes unas uñas preciosas hoy!” Conchita admired. 160. Juana spread her hands, fanning her painted red nails. “Ay sí, me las pinté ayer. Siempre me ayuda a sentir bonita, amiga.” 161. Conchita waved goodbye, leaving Juana standing a little taller. 162. Juana poured herself a cold Corona, popping the cap and letting the fizz tickle her nose. 163. She leaned against the counter, closing her eyes, truly at home in this broad, strong body. 164. She heard the sound of the gate outside and a car door slamming. 165. A moment of anxiety flickered in her chest as she wondered if Carlos would notice anything different. 166. But as she caught sight of herself in the toaster’s reflection, it felt normal to see Juana smiling back. 167. The familiar weight, the warmth, the joy and ache—all hers now. 168. From outside, Carlos’s voice rang out: “¡Mami!” 169. The front door flew open, and Carlos barreled in, cheeks flushed from the heat. 170. “Smells good in here,” he grinned, “Did you get everything?” 171. “Claro que sí, mi amor. Ya casi listo,” Juana replied. 172. Carlos kicked off his shoes and padded into the kitchen. 173. “You look happy, mami. Did you get a new polish?” he teased, eyeing her sparkling toenails. 174. Juana winked, “Siempre. Una mujer debe cuidarse, ¿no?” 175. Carlos snickered, raiding the fridge for a soda. 176. Juana finished marinating the chicken, setting it in the oven for later. 177. “Did you get the extra beer for papá?” Carlos asked. 178. “Sí, and I got his favorite, Modelo. Tonight will be big fiesta,” she promised. 179. Carlos glanced around. “Thanks, mami—you’re the best.” 180. Juana felt a rush of affection. “Ay, mijo, you make Juana proud.” 181. She wrapped him in a tight hug, her bangles clacking together. 182. Carlos wriggled free, laughing as he slipped away to play video games. 183. Juana poured herself a fresh drink, settling into the rhythm of her new life. 184. She thought about her responsibilities—a big meal, a clean house, happy family. 185. She checked her phone for her constant reminders—pick up the cake, call her sister, Facetime her cousin in Guadalajara. 186. Juana sighed, satisfied, embracing her new reality with a wide, toothy smile. 187. Sunset glowed through the curtains, turning her tank top a richer shade of red. 188. The house buzzed with coming celebration—soon, abuelita would arrive, hungry and expectant. 189. Juana clipped her flip-flops down the hallway, prepping the table with Carlos giggling nearby. 190. She touched the gold hoop at her ear, savoring the little luxuries of the moment. 191. “Ay, Juana,” she thought, “you are lucky woman—even with all this trabajo.” 192. With practiced hands, she sliced limes, popped open more beer, and stacked tortillas high. 193. The doorbell rang, and Juana hurried to answer, her feet steady in their sparkly sandals. 194. Conchita, now with her little granddaughter in tow, greeted her at the door. 195. Other family members trickled in, all hugging and chatting in rapid-fire Spanish. 196. The fragrance of roasting chicken and fresh cilantro filled the rooms. 197. Plates clattered, laughter broke out, and Carlos recounted stories to his cousins. 198. Juana presided over the table, radiant and bustling, exchanging jokes with her husband and friends. 199. In a quiet moment, she smiled at her loved ones surrounding her. 200. She felt that her life was just as it should be—every treasure and challenge earned. 201. The radio blared cumbia, and Juana joined the dance, her hips swaying to the beat. 202. Someone snapped a picture of the whole scene—Juana, beaming, surrounded by her family. 203. Plates emptied; glasses refilled. 204. The birthday cake was shared, and abuelita clapped gleefully as candles flickered out. 205. Juana’s heart swelled as the family sang “Las Mañanitas” together. 206. Later, she washed the last of the dishes, hands warm in soapy water. 207. Carlos came up behind her, pressing a kiss to her cheek. 208. “I love you, mami,” he said. 209. Juana dabbed her cheek with a dishcloth, eyes glimmering with happy tears. 210. “También te quiero, mi vida. ALWAYS,” she replied, pulling him in for one last hug. 211. As dusk faded, the celebration lingered, and Juana stood quietly on her porch. 212. Fireflies sparked in the distance, a warm breeze skated along her arms. 213. For a moment, she had an odd sensation—as if remembering something far away. 214. But the feeling slipped away, replaced by wholeness, contentment, and peace. 215. She sipped the foam left in her glass and watched her family laugh in the glow of the party lights. 216. And in her heart, Juana Rivera knew—it was good to be loved, good to be strong, and good to be herself. 217. The night wound down, children drowsy and adults full of gratitude. 218. Juana collected the last empty bottles, humming to herself. 219. Without regret, she turned off the lights, closed the door, and headed to bed. 220. In the soft silence of night, Juana—once Alex—slept soundly, her dreams alive with the joys of her new life, never again remembering the boy she had been.
