Title: Displaced in Chaos
The year was 2020, an era marked by unexpected calamities, none more bizarre than the surges of the zombie pandemic. It was a Saturday afternoon, and seven-year-old Michael held his mother’s hand while they navigated the crowded aisles of the local grocery store. Born on August 12, 2013, Michael was a small boy, standing at 3'8" and weighing 50 pounds. His mop of unruly blonde hair fell into his striking blue eyes, and his pale skin showcased freckles that danced across his nose and cheeks. Today, he was wearing a blue superhero T-shirt, denim shorts, and his favorite pair of light-up sneakers.
His mother, Rebecca, was a young woman of just 28 years, born on May 15, 1992. Standing at 5'6" and weighing about 130 pounds, she had shoulder-length auburn hair that she usually kept in a messy bun. Her green eyes held a constant look of vigilance, an expression hardened by the constant threat of zombies. Rebecca wore a loose-fitting cardigan over a tank top paired with yoga pants and running shoes—a practical outfit for quick escapes.
As they reached the cereal aisle, a blood-curdling scream echoed through the store, followed by the unmistakable growl of the undead. Panic erupted among the shoppers.
“Michael, run! Stay close to me!” Rebecca yelled, her voice breaking with fear. She began sprinting towards the exit, pushing through the chaos as zombies started flooding in.
Michael obeyed, his heart pounding, but something caught his attention. A group of five women, all black and wearing skimpy outfits and sandals, strode into view. They seemed out of place, almost surreal amid the terror.
Leading the group was Carmen, the oldest at 45, born on December 1, 1974. She stood 5'7" and carried herself with a confidence that belied the skimpy dress she wore. Her jet-black, curly hair framed her face, and her dark brown eyes scanned their surroundings with calm knowingness. Beside her was Tanisha, 27, born on April 22, 1993, standing at 5'4", with long, straightened hair dyed purple. Maya, 24, born on July 30, 1996, at 5’6” with a stylish bob cut, Alicia, 21, born on February 8, 1999, standing at 5'5", with braided hair, and Shante, 30, born on March 12, 1990, at 5'8" with natural kinky curls rounded out the group.
Without warning, Tanisha reached out and grabbed Michael’s arm. His vision blurred, and a wave of dizziness overcame him. When Michael opened his eyes again, the store looked different—smaller. He looked down and saw a curvier body dressed in skimpy clothes and sandals. Panic surged as he realized his hair was now long, straight, and dyed purple with a polished manicure on his hands.
"Gawd, what's goin' on?!" Michael tried to kick off the skimpy sandals, his voice now an octave higher, the accent unfamiliar. "Momma, what's hap'nin'? Oh, mah gawd, Momma!"
Unable to revert back to his old self, Michael felt Tanisha's friends, the other women, grab his newly transformed hands and start pulling him through the store. Maya turned to him with a sass-laden smirk.
"Girl, you need to pay more attention! You almost got caught back there!" Maya criticized, her voice dripping with mock chastisement.
"Yeah, you looking so clueless! Snap out of it, babe!" Alicia added, hyping her up despite the scolding tone.
"I'm scared," Michael whimpered, the foreign accent making it difficult to recognize his own voice. “This body…it’s so…curvy! An' what is wit' these… these clothes?”
"You'll be fine, sweetheart," Carmen said soothingly while keeping an eye on their surroundings. "We’ll get through this together."
Michael could only follow along, bewildered and frightened in this new reality, unable to swap back to his former self. Each step in the skimpy sandals felt awkward, each curl of polished fingers foreign, leaving Michael to wonder how long he would remain trapped in Tanisha's body, navigating a world gone mad.
