1. Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timothy Michael Sanders.
2. Timothy was only 8 years old, filled with the boundless curiosity of youth.
3. He was born on the 14th of May, in the year 2015.
4. Timothy stood at 4 feet 1 inch tall, a bit taller than some of his classmates.
5. He weighed 57 pounds, his frame slim from all the running and climbing he did.
6. His hair was a sandy brown, cut in a tousled, slightly uneven bowl shape—his mom cut it herself.
7. His eyes were bright blue, wide and constantly moving as he took in the world.
8. Timothy was white, with a few freckles dotting his cheeks and nose.
9. At home, his mom waited anxiously—her name was Melissa Joan Sanders.
10. Melissa was 37 years old, born on July 22nd, 1986.
11. She stood at 5 feet 6 inches, her posture tall and graceful.
12. She weighed around 140 pounds, fit and strong from working two jobs and raising her son.
13. Melissa’s hair was chestnut brown, wavy and cut to her shoulders, often tied up in a loose bun.
14. Her eyes were hazel, often glinting with laughter or concern.
15. Also waiting at home was Timothy’s grandmother, Eleanor Ruth Sanders.
16. She was 65 years old, born on February 3rd, 1959.
17. Eleanor was 5 feet 4 inches, a little hunched but still sturdy.
18. She weighed 160 pounds, her hands calloused from years of gardening.
19. Her hair was gray, thick and usually braided in a long plait down her back.
20. Eleanor’s eyes were sharp blue, keen and a touch weary.
21. Late that night, Timothy was walking home by himself.
22. The streetlights cast long shadows across the pavement, flickering in the cool spring air.
23. Timothy hugged his backpack tightly to his chest, feeling the lump of his science project inside.
24. He was excited, his mind bubbling with all the adventures he’d had that day.
25. “Mom! Grandma! You wouldn’t believe what happened at school!” he’d imagined himself shouting as soon as he burst through the door.
26. “Today, I made a volcano out of baking soda and vinegar! And it exploded everywhere, even on Mrs. Paxton’s shoes!”
27. “I climbed all the way to the top of the new jungle gym without any help!”
28. “I traded snack bars with Olivia and she gave me her favorite one!”
29. As he walked, the late hour making everything seem strange, Timothy’s eyes caught something odd ahead.
30. Lying on the sidewalk was a long, flowing gown—a kind Timothy had never seen before.
31. The gown was jet black, made out of a smooth fabric that shimmered slightly in the distant gleam of a streetlight.
32. It pooled on the ground, long enough that Timothy thought it could touch his toes even if he held it at the neck.
33. Next to the gown lay what looked like a niqab—a full-face veil, equally black, that only left a small slit for the eyes.
34. Timothy had never seen a niqab in real life before, and the concept confused him.
35. Alongside the strange clothing, there was a pair of sandals.
36. The sandals were white, with gold embellishments spiraling around the wide leather straps.
37. They had flat soles, simple but elegant, with beaded details and tiny bells that tinkled when moved.
38. Placed delicately atop the sandals was a purse.
39. The purse was a deep burgundy, quilted in a diamond pattern, and small enough to dangle from a wrist.
40. A golden clasp sparkled at the top, and the short strap was embroidered with floral designs.
41. When Timothy knelt to look closer, he saw inside were a beaded rosary, a small tube of lipstick, some foreign-looking coins, and a folded piece of paper covered in neat, artful script.
42. “What is all this stuff?” Timothy asked himself, speaking aloud in the simple, singsong way of little boys.
43. “It’s like dress up, but for grown-ups. Why’s it all black? And what’s that face cover? Is that for Halloween? Why are the sandals all fancy?”
44. Timothy puzzled over the scene, intending to walk around it on the overgrown patch of grass next to the walk.
45. As he stepped off the curb, his foot caught on a broken patch of uneven cement.
46. He stumbled forward, pitching toward the mysterious clothes.
47. In the chaos, one of his shoes slid off his foot, spinning into the darkness.
48. His sock snagged on a weed and peeled away as he tried to right himself.
49. Timothy’s other shoe flopped to the side, leaving him barefoot and flustered.
50. In flailing for balance, Timothy’s bare feet accidentally stepped down right on top of the sandals.
51. His toes sank into the soft, worn leather, and the little bells jingled musically.
52. He had no intention of putting the sandals on, but they seemed to mold to his soles instantly.
53. Timothy’s backpack fell from his shoulder, landing with a thud against the curb.
54. Instantly, a jolt ran up his legs and Timothy gasped, his eyes wide in shock and fright.
55. “Nooooooo! What’s going on?” he cried, his voice high-pitched and scared.
56. Then, a strange sensation pricked at his feet, a tingling that felt like pins and needles.

77. 20: The transformation settled, leaving Timothy with the feet of an older African woman.
78. His eyes grew wider still, terror fluttering in his chest as he whispered, “Noooooo! What is going on?”

141. 20: Arms and hands were now fully feminine, matured to match the rest of his changing body.
142. Suddenly, as Timothy struggled to make sense of the changes, the black gown began to move on its own.
143. The fabric reached out tendrils, wrapping around his arms and shoulders.
144. It slithered down his back, enveloping his entire body with elegant folds.
145. The gown was silky and cool, yet heavy like a comforting blanket upon his new form.
146. The niqab, still lying on the ground, rose as if caught by an invisible wind.

179. Her voice shifted, deepening into a resonant, accented tone infused with warmth and wisdom.
180. As she tried to speak, a swirl of new memories crashed through her mind, overwhelming her identity.
181. All thoughts of Timothy faded away, names melting, memories smudged and rewritten in foreign languages and prayers.
182. She struggled for a moment, the last remaining echo saying, “I don’t want to wear this or be a girl…”
183. Then, as if waking from a dream, the woman shook her head and wondered what she was talking about.
184. “Ya Allah, what I am say?” she murmured, adjusting the flowing niqab along her brow.
185. “Hawaa love who she is, Alhamdulillah! Hawaa love husband, alhamdulillah. I noting but servant, like good Muslimah, wallahi. Quran say, ‘Obey Allah and obey Rasul (4:59),’ and ‘the women are devoutedly obedient (4:34),’ subhanallah, I alwais do my best.”
186. She repeated her conviction, running a beaded hand on her gown: “Hawaa so hapi fo listen, love to serve—my jannah come from dis.”
187. Glancing toward a mirror in the dim entryway, she strode closer, sandals jingling softly.
188. “Look at you, Hawaa, mashallah!” she said sternly in her thick accent, “You walk too slow today, need fix niqab better. Why you look tired? No time fo lazy.”
189. Adjusting the niqab so only her beautiful, lined eyes showed, Hawaa gave herself a stern once-over.
190. “No time fo sleep, work not finish. No more complaining!” she admonished herself.
191. As she peered, a strange sense of something—something transforming—flickered in her memory.
192. The hint of walking as a boy, feeling little and light, struggling on the sidewalk… it all slipped away with a smile.
193. “Alhamdulillah! I so thankful I no American anymore!” she exclaimed gratefully, seeing herself not as other, but familiar and beloved.
194. “Now I am Muslimah, proud, happy, so blessed!” she continued, voice ringing with joy as she gave her old backpack a swift kick, sending it tumbling away.
195. Her name was now Hawaa Abdi Diallo.
196. Hawaa was 53 years old, older than Timothy’s mother and seasoned with life’s wisdom.
197. She was born on March 29th, 1971, in the heart of Senegal.
198. Standing at 5 feet 7, she held herself with graceful dignity.
199. She weighed 165 pounds, strong and broad-shouldered from years of work.
200. Underneath the niqab, her hair was deep black, styled in hundreds of tiny, careful braids often tucked up out of sight.
201. Her eyes shone a warm golden-brown, compassionate yet fiery.
202. Set in her heart, memories of Senegalese markets, soft Arabic prayers, and family traditions danced.
203. She gathered the purse, checked her rosary, and glanced once at the old backpack, curiosity tugging at her mind—then she let it go.
204. Hawaa moved confidently through the night, each step a soft song of faith, sandals glimmering with every careful stride.
205. A distant echo of fear—of transformation, of not belonging—lingered only as a shadow, easily outshone by her conviction.
206. As dawn crept into the sky, Hawaa returned to the apartment she now remembered as home, her husband waiting with morning tea and a fond smile.
207. She recited her morning du’a, hands raised, feeling only gratitude that Allah had given her another beautiful day to serve.
208. Throughout the morning, she bustled about, caring for her family, the lines of prayer long familiar on her tongue.
209. She tutored the neighborhood children in Quran, her voice a low, musical cadence.
210. She cooked stew, braided bread, and sang lullabies to the babies—all traditions she cherished.
211. Sometimes, she’d catch her reflection and wonder at the strength in her eyes, the purpose guiding her every movement.
212. She was Hawaa, obedient, dignified, a woman rooted in faith and service.
213. There were no more echoes of childhood, no more confusion, only the clarity of willed devotion.
214. On the mantle, her treasured Quran sat open, pages worn but loved.
215. She referenced it often, encouraging her sisters: “See, surah Nisa tell us how to please Allah and Rasul.”
216. “We must be strong, patient, always serve,” she’d remind herself and them, “No space for wishing to be other. Allah make me perfect.”
217. When the sun set, Hawaa stood in prayer, the gown and niqab once foreign but now as natural as her own skin.
218. She felt grateful every time she shrouded herself, hidden from the world but seen—and loved—by her Creator.
219. Many years passed; Hawaa continued living each day in gratitude and faith.
220. Her American past faded, leaving only the wisdom to serve, teach, and nurture.
221. On Eid, she dressed her finest, her niqab impeccable, her sandaled feet pacing quickly to the mosque.
222. She greeted neighbors in Wolof, in Hausa, sometimes in English—but her accent remained thick and proud.
223. Every so often, an unfamiliar object—a child’s backpack, a worn science project—might catch her eye.
224. She’d smile, shake her head, and whisper a quiet prayer of thanks for her transformation, whatever its cause.
225. For in every detail of her life, Hawaa Abdi Diallo saw the hand of Allah guiding her path.
226. And so, she lived, far from the little boy Timothy had once been, but content as a beloved daughter, wife, and servant of God.
227. Her heart was full, her purpose clear.
228. “Alhamdulillah, I so lucky to be me,” she’d remind herself, feeling only peace.
229. As night fell, Hawaa slipped her sandals off, laying her head beside her husband, whispering “Bismillah” before sleep.
230. Her dreams were calm, full of prayers and motherly love.
231. In the world outside, the old backpack would eventually vanish, the memory of Timothy fading with it.
232. All that remained was Hawaa, faithful and sure.
233. Ready to meet each dawn as herself, honored to walk the path before her.
234. Each morning, she adjusted her niqab, smiled at her reflection, and strode out to serve others with a full heart.
235. The sandaled feet that once belonged to a curious boy now carried a devoted Muslimah, proud of her faith and new life.
236. Every act of kindness and obedience planted seeds for her eternal Jannah (paradise).
237. Hawaa Abdi Diallo’s story became legend in her community—an example of unwavering faith.
238. No one questioned her past or knew of the miraculous change, but all respected her dignity and grace.
239. In living her truth, Hawaa inspired others to embrace their own journeys, wherever—whenever—they began.
240. And thus, the story ends not in loss, but in transformation: a tale of faith, identity, and gratitude, forever woven in black silk and golden sandals.
