A Twist of Identities: The merging of a boy and a woman in the fight for survival

1. The year was 2020, and a global zombie pandemic had plunged the world into chaos.
2. Seven-year-old James, a white boy with sparkling blue eyes and messy blond hair, was out shopping with his mom.
3. James wore an Avengers T-shirt, mismatched sneakers, and cargo shorts.
4. His mother, Lily, was a young mom at 25 years old, born on June 12, 1995.
5. Lily stood 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighed 130 pounds, and had flowing auburn hair she usually tied up in a ponytail.
6. Her warm, hazel eyes were surrounded by the faintest trace of laughter lines.
7. Today, she wore a casual sundress with a bright floral print and white sandals, size 7.
8. As they wandered through the grocery store, James asked curiously, "Mom, are my feet gonna be as small as yours when I grow up?"
9. Lily chuckled and replied, "No, honey, I bet your feet are going to be much bigger than mine."
10. Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the air, and zombies began to attack the store.
11. "Run, James!" Lily shouted as they began to flee.
12. James struggled to keep up, his small feet stumbling over the cracked linoleum.
13. Amid the chaos, three black women, wearing skimpy outfits, caught James's eye.
14. The first woman, Bianca, was 35 years old, born on September 19, 1985.
15. Bianca wore a tight red mini-dress and black stiletto heels, adorned with gold anklets.
16. Her curly, jet-black hair framed her dark brown eyes, and her long nails were painted a bright crimson.
17. Bianca stood 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 155 pounds, with a star tattoo on her shoulder she got in her twenties, regretting it during job interviews.
18. The second woman, Alisha, was 32 years old, born on April 23, 1988.
19. Alisha sported a shimmering silver bikini top, denim shorts, and glittery sandals with freshly painted pink nails.
20. Her straight, dark hair was tied back, revealing her piercing green eyes and a butterfly tattoo on her hip she adored.
21. Alisha was 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighed 145 pounds, and was from New Orleans.
22. The third woman, Denise, was older, at 48, born on January 5, 1972.
23. Denise wore a black tank top and tight leather pants, with high-heeled boots, and her nails were painted a deep purple.
24. Her salt-and-pepper dreadlocks hung down her back, and her wise brown eyes were shaded by thick lashes.
25. Denise stood 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighed 170 pounds, and had a phoenix tattoo on her forearm representing her resilience.
26. Denise was from Chicago, and the worst thing that happened to her was losing her son.
27. Bianca noticed James and reached out, saying sassily, "Hey, kid, where do you think you're going?"
28. James felt Bianca's grip tighten and tried to avoid her, but his vision went black.
29. He opened his eyes, realizing he felt taller than before.
30. Looking down, he saw the same skimpy red dress and black stiletto heels Bianca had been wearing.
31. Stumbling in the unfamiliar shoes, James made his way to a nearby mirror.
32. His reflection showed Bianca’s mature eyes still glowing with his innocent curiosity.
33. James squeezed his eyes shut, hoping it was just a bad dream, but it wasn’t.

35. Tugging at the curly black hair, it wouldn’t change, no matter how much he tried to make it less girly.
36. He attempted to remove the earrings and gold anklets, but they stayed firmly in place.
37. Frustrated, he tried to take off the red dress, but it wouldn’t budge.
38. Kicking at the black stilettos, he found himself unable to remove the skimpy sandals.
39. He even tried scratching off the crimson nail polish, but it stayed perfectly glossy.
40. At that moment, Denise and Alisha found him and roughly dragged him away.
41. Denise yelled angrily, "Bianca, what on earth are you doing? We’ve got to stick together!"
42. Alisha also scolded, "Get a grip, girl! We can't have you losing it now!"
43. Desperate, James pleaded, "I’m not Bianca, I’m a boy!"
44. Alisha and Denise shared a look, thinking Bianca was having a mental breakdown from the zombie stress.
45. "She’s losing it," Alisha commented.
46. "We’re gonna erase her memory till she remembers who she is again," Denise decided.
47. Alisha turned to James, not realizing his true identity, "Don’t worry, girl, we'll help you remember who you were."
