Matching jewelry, including a wedding ring, appeared on Timothy’s body. 103. He started coughing. 104. Timothy’s voice became identical to Helen’s older voice. 105. He still clung to the money in his female fingers. 106. Timothy was now eye level with Helen. 107. Helen asked, “Do you know where Limburger cheese is now?” 108. Timothy responded in Helen’s voice, “No,” cringing at his older voice. 109. He looked down at the older body and outfit in disgust. 110. Helen gripped Timothy's head. 111. His memories began to alter. 112. They shifted and became more feminine. 113. Timothy began dropping the money. 114. His last words were, “Please, miss, no, I want candy, I don’t know----” 115. His memories finally shifted: "Oh, honey, I actually don’t know where Limburger cheese is either." 116. “My husband and I love it,” he continued. 117. Timothy’s mind completely changed, now only remembering being a woman. 118. “You’d think they’d make it easy to find a plain and simple cheese,” he added. 119. “Oh well, no need to complain about it,” Timothy said. 120. Helen, the real old woman, maintained a pretend confusion. 121. “No, we’re not related,” Helen stated. 122. Timothy replied, “Oh, wow! You must be one of those doppelgangers everybody supposedly has.” 123. “You’re even wearing the same sandals as me!” Timothy added. 124. “I love these sandals; they’re so comfortable!” he said. 125. “And we’re both married, too,” he noted. 126. The conversation was surreal for Timothy, now fully transformed. 127. Timothy inquired, “What’s your name, hon?” 128. Helen smiled evilly and said, “My name is Helen.” 129. Timothy, now fully the new Helen, said, “Oh, wow! My name is Helen, too.” 130. “How old are you?” Timothy asked. 131. The real Helen replied, “I’m 55 years old. I was born on November 14, 1968." 132. The new Helen said, “Oh my! I’m 55 years old, too.” 133. “My birthday is also November 14, and my birth year is also 1968,” the new Helen finished. 134. “Oh, sweet Jesus, this is too overwhelming,” the new Helen expressed. 135. “I should go, sorry sweetie. It’s like looking into a mirror,” she said feeling dazed. 136. The new Helen never remembered her old life as Timothy. 137. She grabbed her shopping cart and picked up her list. 138. She adjusted her tank top and shorts and jeans sandals. 139. Helen began muttering to herself: 1. “Need to find that cheese.” 2. “John will be waiting for dinner.” 3. “Where did I put my glasses?” 4. “Oh right, on my head.” 5. “C’mon now, Helen, you’re not a child.” 6. “Time to focus and stop daydreaming.” 7. “Don’t be silly, you’re a lady.” 8. “Just find the cheese and get home.” 140. She continued looking for Limburger cheese. 141. Spotting the money on the ground, she paused. 142. “Oh, what’s this?” she murmured, calmly bending down. 143. Helen chuckled softly. 144. “Somebody seems to have dropped some money, no matter,” she said. 145. “It’s not yours, Helen. The honest thing to do is turn it in at the front,” Helen continued. 146. “You’re 55 years old, and your mother taught you well to be honest,” she whispered to herself. 147. She tucked money into her purse to turn it in. 148. Helen no longer liked candy, chips, or soda. 149. Upon reaching the front, she turned in the money at customer service. 150. The female employee at the counter smiled. 151. “What’s your name?” the employee asked. 152. Helen answered smoothly, “My name is Helen, darling.” 153. She continued her search for the cheese. 154. Passing a mirror, Helen admired her reflection. 155. “Not bad,” she said approvingly. 156. “These shorts are quite nice, and these sandals,” she added. 157. Helen spotted the women in their 20s again. 158. She no longer recognized them or felt the same way about them. 159. A feeling of disdain for their outfits washed over her. 160. “Excuse me, ladies,” she said, projecting her voice. 161. The two women looked over, smiling. 162. “Yes, can we help you?” one of them asked. 163. “What are your names and how old are you two?” Helen inquired. 164. “I’m Ashley, and I’m 27,” said the first. 165. “I’m Brittany, and I’m 25,” said the second woman. 166. Helen lectured them: 1. “Young ladies, you ought to reconsider your outfit choices.” 2. “These revealing clothes show too much skin.” 3. “It’s unbefitting for respectable young women.” 4. “Your attire makes you look like you work in a nightclub.” 5. “Consider the impression you make on others.” 6. “Dressing modestly is a sign of self-respect.” 7. “You are beautiful; you don’t need to dress like this to get attention.” 8. “Think about the difference you can make by choosing better.” 9. “Set an example for the younger generation." 10. “Remember, dignity and modesty go hand in hand.” 167. The two women were taken aback. 168. “You’re out of touch, lady,” Brittany said dismissively. 169. Ashley scoffed, “What does it matter to you?” 170. They walked away, ignoring Helen’s advice. 171. Helen frowned, disappointed in them. 172. “The new generation is so different,” she thought. 173. She resumed looking for the cheese. 174. Helen tripped over her sandals and sighed. 175. “Clumsy me,” she chided herself. 176. “Watch where you’re going, Helen,” she muttered. 177. Adjusting her sandals and outfit, she continued. 178. Spotting moms with their kids, she nostalgically reminisced. 179. “They look so young,” she murmured. 180. “What I’d give to be that young again.” 181. The sight warmed her heart. 182. Helen knocked over a box accidentally. 183. “Oops,” she said softly. 184. “Watch where you’re going, Helen,” she repeated to herself. 185. “Need to notify the front,” she noted. 186. She was always careful about causing damage. 187. Helen continued to focus, lost in her thoughts. 188. She never remembered her previous life, content in her new identity. 189. The search for Limburger cheese became her sole mission. 190. Reaching another aisle, Helen stayed determined. 191. Her mind was sharp but fully embraced her new reality. 192. “Ah, there’s the cheese,” she thought hopefully. 193. Helen picked up another product for her list. 194. Limburger cheese remained elusive, but she stayed patient. 195. “The store is so big,” Helen mused. 196. She paid careful attention to details. 197. Helen’s memories were all consistent with her current identity. 198. “Where could that cheese be?” she pondered. 199. A soft-spoken, lady-like Helen never doubted herself. 200. The cashier nodded in understanding. 201. “Have a good day,” Helen smiled. 202. “You too, ma’am,” replied the employee. 203. Helen adjusted her cart and purse. 204. She double-checked her list, leaving no stone unturned. 205. Her day ended much like it began, pursuing cheese. 206. “Ah, finally!” she exclaimed, finding it. 207. Helen tucked it cautiously in her cart. 208. She made her way to the checkout. 209. Counting her items, Helen verified each one. 210. “John will be pleased,” she noted. 211. “Cheese, milk, and eggs are all here,” she said. 212. Helen finalized her purchase, feeling quite accomplished. 213. “Time to head home,” she decided. 214. Days like these were fulfilling. 215. Helen felt at peace with her life. 216. She was grateful for every little moment. 217. Helen returned home, her groceries in tow. 218. Unpacking, she reminisced about the day. 219. “Another day, another dollar,” she mused. 220. Life was, as she knew, as it was meant to be.
