Michael, a sprightly seven-year-old boy born on February 14, 2013, stood at a height of three feet nine inches and weighed approximately fifty pounds. His hair was a mop of sandy blond curls, often left untamed, pretending to be an aspiring adventurer. His bright blue eyes always sparkled with innocent curiosity, a feature he'd inherited from his young mother, Jessica, who was all of twenty-seven. Jessica, born on June 5, 1993, stood at five feet six inches and weighed around one hundred and twenty-five pounds. Her auburn hair fell in soft waves down her back, and she possessed the same blue eyes as her son.
On this particular day in 2020, Michael wore a bright red shirt with his favorite superhero emblazoned on it, paired with navy blue shorts and light-up sneakers that blinked with every scamper. In contrast, Jessica wore a pair of comfortable jeans, a plain grey hoodie, and sneakers, her casual attire a testament to the suppressed tension of living in a world ravaged by a zombie pandemic that wavered between control and chaos.
As they made their way through the grocery store aisles, Jessica's eyes darted around, her senses on high alert. The balance between mundane errands and survival had been a part of their reality for what seemed like an eternity now. Just as they approached the cereal aisle, the overhead announcements fizzled into static.
A screech, followed by the unmistakable guttural moaning of the undead, echoed through the store. Panic surged through Jessica as she clutched Michael's hand tighter. "Michael, stay close to me!" she shouted, her voice trembling.
The grocery store descended into a frenzy as shoppers abandoned their carts and bolted toward the exits. Jessica broke into a sprint, Michael doing his best to keep up. They zigzagged through the aisles, narrowly dodging panicked customers and the increasingly numerous zombies.
As they rounded a corner, a woman came into view—a stunning black woman with an air of confidence despite the chaos around her. Her name was Tasha, and she hailed from Miami, Florida. Born on July 22, 1991, she was twenty-nine years old, standing at five feet nine inches, with an athletic build weighing about one hundred forty pounds. Her black hair was styled into a short, edgy bob, and her eyes were a warm brown that exuded a fierce resolve. Tasha was dressed in a skimpy outfit—a bright orange crop top that barely covered her midriff, paired with high-waisted denim shorts. Her feet were adorned with gladiator sandals, intricately strapped up to her knees, and her nails were painted a fierce crimson.
A glint of light caught Michael’s eye as Tasha’s five pieces of gold jewelry moved with her. Around her neck hung a dainty, heart-shaped pendant, and her wrists were decorated with two thin bangles on one wrist and a chunky bracelet on the other. A pair of large hoop earrings completed her bold look. She had a small, stylish purse slung over her shoulder, containing a compact mirror, lipstick, a wallet, a phone, and pepper spray.
Tasha suddenly glanced down at herself, then back at Michael, who was running past her. "Boy, if I could switch bodies with you, I'd have a worry-free day," she said sassily, her voice cutting through the chaos.
Without warning, Tasha reached out for Michael. He tried to dodge, but her grasp was unexpectedly firm. An overwhelming dizziness enveloped him, and his vision went black.
When Michael opened his eyes again, he was stunned to realize he was much taller. Looking down, his eyes widened in horror as he saw darker skin and the unfamiliar orange crop top and denim shorts that Tasha had been wearing. His newly painted crimson nails glared back at him, and he felt the weight of the purse on his shoulder. He was in Tasha’s body.
The rapid approach of zombies made his immediate survival instincts kick in. Struggling to maintain balance in the sandals, Michael stumbled but pushed forward, miraculously distancing himself from the horde. When he finally reached safety, gasping for breath, he looked down at his hands, the sight of the slender, feminine fingers perplexing and frightening him.
He spotted a grimy mirror inside an abandoned storefront and approached it cautiously. His reflection—a striking woman with thick, full lips that starkly contrasted his memories of his own and his mother's—staring back at him. He touched his new lips, attempting to make them familiar, pressing and pouting in different ways before giving up.
Obsessed with the new changes, he began exploring his face—tilting his head to observe the contours of his cheeks and the arch of his eyebrows. His nose felt different under his touch, and he ran his fingers through the short, edgy bob, trying to make it less girly by ruffling it in different ways but to no avail.
Distracted by the jewelry, he began with the heart-shaped pendant around his neck. He tugged at the clasp but found it stuck, possibly due to his unfamiliarity with such mechanisms. Next, he tried the bangles on his wrist, sliding them, twisting them, but they wouldn't budge, possibly because of the tight fit. He moved on to the chunky bracelet, trying to unhook it carefully, but it remained secure. Finally, the large hoop earrings seemed impossible to remove; he fumbled with the fastenings but had no success due to their intricate design and his lack of nails experience.
Desperate to look less feminine, Michael tried to manipulate his outfit. He tugged at the crop top, pulling it downward, but it didn't stretch far enough to cover his midriff. The high-waisted shorts were a different challenge; they were tight, and every attempt to roll them down or adjust them met resistance. The sandals were the toughest trial—he first attempted to unbuckle them, only to struggle with his now-long nails. He then tried to pull the straps off his feet, twist and turn in different directions, but the tight gladiator design made it futile. Lastly, he considered cutting through them but had no means to do so.
Annoyed by the vibrant nail polish, Michael scratched at the polish on his fingers and toes but found it to be resistant, possibly a gel type. Trembling, he tried speaking. "M-Mommy, wh-where… ohmygod, like whaddef—aah!" The voice wasn't his; it was sassy, alien, and wrong.
"Damn," he swore in a tone that shocked him to his core. "What the f—I ain't gonna survive this sh—Nigg—"
The profanity hung in the air, stark and jarring from his new lips. The dissonance in his circumstances left him anchored in a bewildering reality, a child's world muddled by the adult sophistication and danger he now embodied.
But survival waited for no revelation. The thudding footsteps reminded him of what lay beyond his confusion—the persistent threat of zombies. This black woman’s skin, this skimpy outfit, even the jewelry—they were his shield for now, a surreal armor in a world gone eerily mad. His path to understanding himself again would have to wait. Survival was the only thought that mattered.
