She weighed 340 pounds. 38. Juana’s hair was a deep, glossy black—long, wavy, and curly, almost reaching her waist. 39. Her eyes were dark brown, expressive, often reflecting warmth or frustration. 40. That day, Juana wore a tank top. 41. The tank top was bright pink, with little white hibiscus blossoms patterned across the fabric. 42. Its shoulder straps were wide. 43. The neckline was a low scoop, showing a bit of chest, practical for the summer heat. 44. The tank top was loose, with the fabric gently stretched over Juana’s round figure. 45. She wore knee-length denim shorts. 46. The shorts were faded and soft, fraying at the hems. 47. They hugged her hips and thighs comfortably. 48. There were two back pockets, slightly saggy from frequent use. 49. The front zipper was a little worn, and a single button kept them snug. 50. On her feet were flip flops. 51. The flip flops were black, with pink and gold sequins glinting across the straps. 52. The soles were thick and squishy, worn down by time but still comfortable. 53. The toe post had a little bow on the right shoe. 54. A faint mark showed where her big toes pressed into the material. 55. Juana's toenails were painted a vivid red, shiny and perfectly shaped. 56. She wore five pieces of jewelry: 57. 1. A thick gold wedding ring on her left hand. 58. 2. Big golden hoop earrings, each one glittering by her cheeks. 59. 3. A chunky red beaded necklace, strung tightly atop her tank top. 60. 4. A pink beaded bracelet with tiny golden hearts. 61. 5. A diamond-paved watch on her right wrist. 62. On this day, after lunch, Juana called Mateo to the car. 63. She said she needed to run to the market. 64. “Come on, mijo! Time to go!” she called in a singsong voice from the hallway. 65. Mateo bounded to the door, buckling his shoes. 66. Juana blew a kiss to Elijah. “Stay here, okay? We’ll be back muy soon.” 67. Elijah waved, a little nervous to be left alone but excited nonetheless. 68. The front door swung shut behind them. 69. Elijah wandered around, marveling at the unfamiliar home. 70. He peered into the living room, noticing all the bright decorations. 71. There were family photos on the mantle. 72. He tiptoed down the hallway, curiosity getting the better of him. 73. He found a bedroom door slightly ajar—it must be Juana's. 74. Nervous but compelled, he slipped inside. 75. Her room was neatly kept. 76. There was a strong scent of jasmine perfume and fresh laundry. 77. A huge mirror leaned against one wall, reflecting the sunlight. 78. The bedspread was turquoise, heavy with intricate embroidery. 79. On the floor lay Juana’s flip flops, abandoned hastily. 80. Elijah’s socks slipped on the tile floor. 81. Suddenly, he stumbled, tripping over his untied shoelaces, sending his shoes and socks flying. 82. He crashed down, his feet bare, landing directly in Juana’s flip flops. 83. The sensation was odd—strange warmth surged from the rubber soles. 84. He tried to kick them off, but they clung tightly to his feet. 85. It was as if they were glued to him. 86. Elijah’s feet began to tingle. 87. His toes stretched wider inside the sandals. 88. In mounting horror, Elijah watched as his feet began to transform: 89. 1. The skin lost its pale color, deepening into a golden Mexican tan. 90. 2. His toes grew plumper, pudgier, chubby like marshmallows. 91. 3. The arches collapsed slightly, making the feet even wider. 92. 4. Each toenail bloomed with vibrant red polish, glossy and thick. 93. 5. His ankles thickened, losing their childish cuteness for adult curves. 94. 6. Calluses formed on his heels, soft but unmistakable. 95. 7. The hair on his toes darkened, then vanished into smoothness. 96. 8. The soles expanded, pressing comfortably into the flip flop’s outline. 97. 9. Wrinkles and tiny age marks sprouted across his tan feet. 98. 10. Juana’s foot shape wove over his bones: rounder, softer, heavier. 99. 11. Toe rings glittered into being above the polish like magic. 100. 12. His skin took on the faint scent of Juana's cinnamon-sweet lotion. 101. 13. Swelling continued until his feet fit perfectly in the sandals. 102. 14. Tiny, invisible veins outlined the tan, feminine feet. 103. 15. The transformation finished: mature Mexican feet, decked in blazing red polish. 104. Elijah gasped. “Noooooooooooo! My feet so gross and girly! Help, please!” 105. His legs shuddered, trembling, as the change spread upwards: 106. 1. Calves thickened, curves developing. 107. 2. His skin tanned beneath the knees, hair vanishing. 108. 3. Knees grew round, soft, with laugh lines upon them. 109. 4. Thighs ripened, swelling outwards with stored fat. 110. 5. Cellulite dimpled the skin, a grown woman’s shape. 111. 6. The softness was comforting, but foreign to Elijah. 112. 7. Shins lost their knobby, bony shape. 113. 8. The skin tightened, becoming smooth and touchable. 114. 9. His muscles faded, replaced by comforting plumpness. 115. 10. A faint scar ran down the right thigh—a mark he’d never seen. 116. 11. His knees popped as they realigned. 117. 12. Leg hair lightened and disappeared entirely. 118. 13. The backsides of his calves merged into generous adult curves. 119. 14. His thighs grew enormous, pressing against each other. 120. 15. Suddenly, denim shorts blossomed: frayed, faded, snug, exactly like Juana’s. 121. Elijah whimpered, his legs impossibly adult and feminine. 122. Without pause, the transformation soared up to his torso and chest: 123. 1. His waist cinched, then flared out into wide hips. 124. 2. Baby fat rearranged itself, forming a substantial mommy tummy. 125. 3. Ribs expanded, lungs growing larger for an adult woman's breath. 126. 4. His navel shifted, now deep and prominent beneath the belly roll. 127. 5. Soft rolls pressed and folded over the denim waistband. 128. 6. His ribcage grew heavy with new density. 129. 7. His sides flared out, filling in with more adult softness. 130. 8. His chest inflated with fat and tissue, building pendulous breasts. 131. 9. Large, round breasts formed, settling atop his torso. 132. 10. Hardening, sagging slightly beneath their own weight. 133. 11. The skin grew darker beneath, patterned with faint stretch marks. 134. 12. His collarbones thickened, vanishing beneath broad, strong shoulders. 135. 13. Shoulders rolled outwards, becoming delightfully plush. 136. 14. The pink hibiscus tank top materialized, hugging every new curve comfortably. 137. 15. The shirt’s scent—clean laundry and soft perfume—wafted up pleasantly. 138. Elijah’s upper body was unmistakably that of Juana, Mateo’s mom. 139. Numb with shock, Elijah felt the changes spread to his arms and hands: 140. 1. Shoulders rolled forward—becoming softer and thicker. 141. 2. Upper arms puffed up, losing all definition. 142. 3. Elbows expanded, skin growing dry and tough. 143. 4. Forearms took on a dimpled, round look. 144. 5. The skin darkened under a Mexican tan. 145. 6. Baby hairs vanished, replaced by smoothness. 146. 7. Wrists thickened, adorned with golden watch and bracelet. 147. 8. His hands inflated, palm lines deepening, fingers thickening. 148. 9. Knuckles sprouted wrinkles, and brown freckles. 149. 10. Red fingernail polish shimmered into existence, perfectly even. 150. 11. His nails grew long, thick, square-shaped, carefully cared for. 151. 12. Pad of each finger softened, tips wide and flexible. 152. 13. Wedding and pink bead bracelet wound round his fleshy wrists. 153. 14. The sensation of weighty jewelry was oddly comforting. 154. 15. His arms relaxed, heavy, mature, and strong—arms of a mother. 155. Elijah shuddered. “I look so girly! Don’t want to be my friend’s mommy—she’s so old!” 156. The transformation continued, head, hair, and face shifting: 157. 1. Elijah’s babyish jawline softened, growing wider, heavier. 158. 2. Cheeks plumped, forming lush, grown woman’s curves. 159. 3. His face darkened beneath Juana’s subtle tan. 160. 4. Eyelashes lengthened, thickened. 161. 5. Soft wrinkles blossomed at the corners of his new eyes. 162. 6.

Elijah’s eyes shifted, color melting into dark, soulful brown. 166. 10. Nose flattened out, rounded, gaining the family’s signature bump. 167. 11. Lips plushened, pulled into an inviting pink pout. 168. 12. Chin rounded, gaining a lovely dimple. 169. 13. Freckles faded, replaced by soft brown moles, two beneath one eye. 170. 14. Smile lines and tiny wrinkles radiated from his new eyes and lips. 171. 15. Ears plumped, lobe stretched to take large earrings. 172. 16. Earring holes formed, as a heavy pair of golden hoops dropped into place. 173. 17. Elijah’s scalp tingled as black, wavy, and curly hair sprouted, rushing past his shoulders. 174. 18. Hair thickened, glossy, soft as a cloud—falling almost to his waist in shiny black waves. 175. 19. A whiff of jasmine shampoo drifted from the hair. 176. 20. Parted in the middle, curls and waves tumbling all over his back. 177. 21. Scalp itched, adjusting to the weight of so much hair. 178. 22. Makeup tingled across his face—foundation, mascara, a little red lipstick. 179. 23. A bindi of sweat glistened on his brow. 180. 24. Eyelids darkened subtly with warm brown shadow. 181. 25. Elijah’s features were no longer his; he gazed in shock at Juana’s face in the mirror. 182. The last five pieces of jewelry appeared seamlessly: 183. 1. Gold wedding ring, snug on his left hand. 184. 2. Massive golden hoops dangling from his new ears. 185. 3. Chunky red beaded necklace resting on his new bust. 186. 4. Pink beaded bracelet circling his right wrist. 187. 5. Diamond-paved gold watch ticking on his other wrist. 188. Elijah’s throat tickled, his voice warbling lower, richer, now accented. 189. “¡Ayyyyyy!” he cried, his voice, pitch, and accent now Juana’s. 190. Tears welled as strange sadness flipped through him, unbidden and relentless. 191. Elijah—now Juana—collapsed onto the bed, sobbing uncontrollably, body shaking. 192. Strange new memories churned up, pouring over him in a blur: 193. Laughter in a Mexican village. 194. Meeting her husband at a street celebration. 195. Mateo’s tiny toes in the hospital. 196. Her big sister’s wedding. 197. Street-food smells, Spanish lullabies. 198. She remembered _nothing_ of being Elijah. 199. She was only Juana Alvarez, Mateo’s mamá. 200. She howled, “¡AYYYYYY!” as tears streaked down her cheeks. 201. “¡Ay Diosito! ¿Por qué me pasa esto? ¡No entiendo nada! ¡Mateo, mi hijo, dónde estás? ¡Yo era aquí... ahora... AYYY!” she pleaded, clutching her cheeks, eyes streaming. 202. After a moment, Juana wiped her eyes, sniffling. 203. She took a deep breath, pressing both feet down, adjusting her new, broad footing on the bedroom floor. 204. She composed herself, with a final hiccup, and clopped heavily—flip flops smacking—across the room to the tall mirror. 205. Gently, she touched her chin, squinting at her reflection. 206. “What you doing, Juana? Why you no remember anything? You supposed to—uh—suppose to go market buy big Corona for carne asada, sí... and... and cilantro for salsa...” she mumbled in broken English, shaking her head at the confusion. 207. Fingers trembling, Juana grabbed her enormous handbag, slinging it over her meaty shoulder. 208. She perched her sunglasses atop her forehead, eyeing herself warily in the mirror. 209. The kitchen beckoned; her stomach growled, reminding her she’d skipped lunch. 210. She opened the fridge, scouring the shelves—and seized a tortilla, a fat avocado, lime, and a pack of shredded cheese. 211. Working fast, she cooked up a quick snack: she mashed the avocado, mixed in lime and salt, spread it thickly on the warm tortilla, and piled grated cheese atop. 212. Sizzling the tortilla briefly in the pan, she rolled it up like a tight burrito. 213. Hand reaching for it, she slapped her wrist. “Juana! You no put up hair—all heat, you gonna sweat, chica!” she scolded, waggling a thick finger at herself. 214. Setting the hot burrito aside, she carefully fixed her hair in a bun, step by step: 215. 1. She gathered all the long wavy hair behind her head. 216. 2. She twisted the thick waves into a rope. 217. 3. She coiled the rope up high, making a chunky bun. 218. 4. She slipped in a big old pink elastic to secure it tight. 219. 5. She smoothed the bun, pulling visor-like baby hairs loose around her forehead. 220. Appetite returning, she finished her snack, savoring the cheesy, tangy flavor. 221. The time had come; purse thrown over one shoulder, she strode out, locking the door solidly behind her. 222. Her sunglasses slid down her nose as she stepped outside; with a practiced motion, she pulled them fully over her eyes. 223. Reaching her car—a silver Camry—she caught her own reflection in the glossy door. 224. “Ey, Juana...” she cooed loudly, in her thick accent, “you looking muy bonita, sabe? Whole world go crazy see you, mamita!” She grinned proudly, sinking into the front seat. 225. Juana started the car, humming contentedly, driving to the mercado a few blocks away. 226. The air was warm; she rolled down the window, letting the breeze flutter her bangs. 227. The market’s parking lot was packed; Juana muscled her way into a spot near the carts. 228. She climbed out, sunglasses up on her forehead, pushing a big red shopping cart. 229. Her purse thudded inside, jostling against the cart’s rattling bars. 230. Juana made straight for the produce section. 231. She grabbed onions, jalapeños, cilantro, tomatoes, limes, avocados, corn, masa flour, tomatillos, poblano peppers, queso fresco, sour cream, tortillas, fresh radishes, garlic, and a huge bag of rice. 232. Her next stop: the beer section. 233. She heaved two heavy cases of Corona and two cartons of Modelo into her cart. 234. Groaning playfully at the weight, she squinted down at her abundant, bejeweled wrist. 235. Cart loaded, she headed through the checkout line. 236. At the register, a slim young cashier scanned each item. 237. At the end, the cashier looked up, asking, “Can I see your ID, ma’am?” 238. Juana exploded: “¡QUE! I 53 year old! You no need my ID—no necesito, señorita! Look my face, all wrinkle, ojos tired, hands big—who get fake ID to buy cerveza looking like _this_, eh?” she insisted, waving her bejeweled hands for effect. 239. The cashier blushed and waved Juana through with a smile. 240. Juana loaded groceries into her car, sunglasses pulled firmly down across her eyes. 241. Once everything was packed, she shoved the creaky cart into a rack and eased herself back into the driver’s seat. 242. “Mmm, Juana open up big cold Corona when get home, sí? Maybe even giggle with little Modelo...” she laughed to herself, her accent thick, patting the cold cases. 243. The car’s engine purred as Juana drove away into the golden sun. 244. She felt at home, oddly peaceful, as memories of her former life faded into dreams. 245. Her phone buzzed—a message from Mateo: “Mami, can u bring chips?” 246. Juana giggled, shaking her head, “Always want chips, ese niño...” 247. She reached for the radio knob, popped on a classic ballad, and sang along, her Spanish flowing richly. 248. Pulling into her driveway, she braced herself, adjusting her tank top and shorts. 249. Life as Juana Alvarez rolled forward, the past gone, only today and tomorrow swaying in the summer breeze. 250. She smiled as she entered her home, ready to cook for her son, the transformation now complete, forever Juana, forever mamá.
