In the heart of Columbus, Ohio, lived a curious young boy named Ethan Bradley. At eleven years old, Ethan stood at 4'10" and weighed a mere 80 pounds. His birthday, March 14th, 2009, was just another day to the world, but to him, it marked his journey towards growing up. With sandy blond hair, always in a messy, carefree style, and bright blue eyes that held an infectious spark of innocence, Ethan had a charm that was effortless. Today, he wore his favorite red hoodie, a pair of worn-out jeans, and sneakers that had seen better days.
Life wasn't particularly extravagant for Ethan and his 28-year-old mom, Sarah Bradley. Born on August 22, 1992, Sarah had Ethan when she was just 17. She stood at 5'5", weighed 130 pounds, and had long, chestnut-brown hair that she usually kept in a simple braid. Her green eyes were often a reflection of her inner strength and resilience.
Sarah had given Ethan some money and the freedom to go shopping alone for the first time. He was on a mission to find the perfect gift for Lily, a classmate he had a considerable crush on. Lily Thompson was twelve years old, standing at 5'1" and weighing about 90 pounds. Her auburn hair flowed down to her shoulders in gentle waves, and her hazel eyes sparkled whenever she smiled. Today, she was the center of Ethan's world.
Ethan’s exploration took him towards a quaint little gift shop he had never noticed before. His eyes landed on a delicate silver bracelet, adorned with small charms of stars and hearts. It was perfect for Lily, and he hurriedly paid for it with the money his mother had given him. Clutching the small gift bag, Ethan began his journey home.
Adventurous and easily distracted, Ethan soon found himself wandering into an unfamiliar part of town. The buildings here were taller and grayer, and the streets seemed narrower and dirtier. Old, rusty cars lined the sidewalks, and trash bins overflowed. The smell of decay hung heavy in the air, blending with the distant sounds of sirens and city life. People here seemed rough around the edges—hooded figures leaning against grimy walls, eyes that followed with suspicion or disinterest.
As Ethan meandered through the maze of dilapidated structures, he tripped over an upturned trash can, kicking off his shoes and socks in the process. His feet, now bare, accidentally slipped into a pair of platform flip flops that looked out of place amidst the clutter. They were violet with sparkly straps, incongruous against Ethan’s small, pale feet.
Feeling disgusted, Ethan tried to kick them off and retrieve his own shoes and socks. But to his horror, his footwear had vanished as if swallowed by the city’s grim underbelly. Worse still, a strange warmth spread from his toes, engulfing his feet and causing them to crack and age, the skin roughening and feminizing. Ethan watched in panicked fascination as his feet transformed, growing softer yet aged with wear marks and calluses.
"Mommy!" he screamed, his voice trembling as his legs began to lengthen, feminize, and roughen up, knees and calves reshaping into slender but strong limbs. His hips widened, his lower torso morphing into a feminine form, bruised and sprained from the unnatural changes taking place.
Ethan's chest swelled, forming breasts, while his arms, shoulders, and hands diminished, becoming delicate yet lined with the harshness of the streets. His transforming body shook as his head swirled with terror, hair lengthening and darkening, eyes and lips altering to frame a face that was no longer his own, aging before his very eyes.
"No, please, I'm gonna miss Mommy so much! I just—I just wanna damn smoke or a hit off a joint, or even a beer. I don't care what the damn cops say, probably a bottle of whiskey. I hate my life and everyone who left me!" he cried out, the voice now unrecognizable, feminine, and gratingly weary.
The transformation completed, Ethan was no longer a young boy but a worn, haggard woman in her forties. Her name was now Cheryl Hartman, born on July 18, 1976, from a small town in Kentucky. For five grueling years, she had been homeless, abandoned by family and thrown to the mercy of the streets. Standing 5'6" and weighing 140 pounds, Cheryl’s once auburn hair had turned mousy brown, tangled, and unkempt. Her green eyes, now dull, reflected years of hardship.
Picking up the platform flip flops, Cheryl sat down, slipping them onto her feet with deliberate slowness. "Damn city, damn people. Ain't nobody got any kindness left," she muttered, her voice edged with bitterness. Cheryl rummaged through her tattered purse, finding an old tube of lipstick and applying it in the reflection of a cracked compact mirror. Sliding a weathered shawl over her shoulders, she hoisted her purse, backpack, and tote bags, ready to move on.
"I’ll head into that nearby CVS; I need some more tissues and tampons for my period, and I could also buy another thing of deodorant and some lotion for my dry skin. No doubt they’ll make me leave all my bags up front even though I'm literally only 44 years old and have been abandoned by my husband and my kids and my parents and my so-called 'friends' since I've been on the streets for five miserable years!" she grumbled, spitting venom at the memory of her home state of Kentucky.
"Thank God my purse and my bags and my backpack and my flip flops were all still where I left them since I had to sleep under the bridge last night. I still remember finding these platform flip flops in a donation box three years ago—they're so comfortable. I love being a woman; these make me feel like a diva and like a real-life queen, but I’m not a young girl anymore, I'm 44 years old," she said, walking towards the store.
Approaching the entrance, Cheryl muttered to herself, "Hopefully, Karen isn't working today, or as I like to call her, the Dragon. She's the only one that knows I'm homeless and will kick me out."
Cheryl's footsteps echoed against the concrete, her heart heavy with regret and resignation. This city had taken much from her, but in her platform flip flops, she walked on, determined to face whatever lay ahead.
