In the year 2020, during a time of extraordinary upheaval, the world grappled with an unprecedented disaster. Seven-year-old Michael found himself navigating this strange landscape, his small and innocent world suddenly thrust into chaos.
Michael was born on May 22, 2013, a beautiful spring day. At the age of seven, he stood at four feet tall and weighed around 60 pounds. His straight blonde hair framed a face of wide, curious blue eyes. Today, he wore a brightly colored t-shirt depicting his favorite superhero, Spider-Man, paired with comfortably worn jeans and red sneakers with a hint of dirt from playful adventures. His white complexion, like that of his young mother, added to the innocence that radiated from him.
His mother, Emily, just 26 years old, was a dedicated and loving figure in Michael’s life. Born on November 14, 1994, she had a slim, athletic build at five feet six inches and weighed around 130 pounds. Emily's brown hair cascaded in loose waves to her shoulders, and her hazel eyes were filled with both concern and resilience. She wore a casual yet stylish outfit - a fitted gray t-shirt, black leggings, and comfortable sneakers. Her maternal instinct was an ever-present force, particularly in these harrowing times.
As they moved through the narrow aisles of the grocery store, alertness etched on their faces, Emily tightly gripped the handle of the shopping cart. They were stocking up on essentials - canned goods, water, medications - the necessities of survival amidst a zombie pandemic that oscillated between being under control and spiraling into pandemonium.
Suddenly, the air changed. The sounds of distant shrieks and the heavy thud of shuffling feet reached their ears. Emily's heart tightened. She gripped Michael’s hand firmly. “Michael, stay close!” she urged, her voice a mixture of worry and determination.
Without a moment's hesitation, Emily began to run, the cart abandoned in an aisle. “Follow me, Michael!” she shouted, not daring to look back. Her feet pounded the linoleum floor, every instinct focused on keeping her son safe.
Michael, trying his best to keep up, saw a blur of motion ahead. A Spanish woman came into view - a stark contrast amid the panicked crowd. Her name was Isabella Rodriguez, and at 52 years old, she had an air of composed elegance despite her skimpy attire. Born on March 3, 1968, she stood at five feet four inches tall and weighed around 140 pounds, her figure still well-maintained. Her dark, wavy hair fell to her shoulders, framing deep brown eyes that held stories of a vibrant past in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Isabella wore a fitted, floral sundress that ended just above her knees. Her platform sandals were golden, with delicate straps that wrapped around her ankles. Her toenails and fingernails were painted a bright red, a pop of color that matched the fervor in her eyes. She carried a small, black leather purse over her shoulder. Inside the purse were feminine essentials - lipstick, compact powder, a pocket mirror - as well as familial mementos like a small photo album and a picture of her family standing in front of their home in Buenos Aires, all smiles and warmth. The jewelry she wore was delicate yet noticeable - gold hoop earrings, a silver bracelet on her right wrist, a platinum necklace, an anklet with tiny charms, a charm bracelet filled with tiny trinkets, and a locket that held a picture of her husband. Her wedding ring, a simple band with a small diamond, gleamed on her ring finger.
In the midst of the chaos, Isabella glanced down and saw Michael running by her, his wide blue eyes filled with fear. Instinctively, she reached out.
"¡Ay, no te muevas tan rápido, pequeño! Let's switch for a bit, s�" she cooed sardonically, blending Spanish with English, her mesmerizing eyes twinkling playfully.
Michael tried to sidestep her grasp, but he felt her grip, and suddenly a wave of dizziness overtook him. His vision went black, and his consciousness slipped away.
When Michael opened his eyes, the world around him felt disorientingly different. He glanced down, feeling an unfamiliar height and weight. His skin was now a rich tan, not the pale hue he was used to. The skimpy floral dress in place of his own clothes accentuated the difference, as did the platform sandals on his feet. The red-painted nails on his fingers stood out vividly.
He heart the zombies' approach, their groaning and shuffling growing louder. Panicking, Michael tried to run, but the sandals made him stumble. He continued awkwardly until he managed to get far enough from the chaos. He stopped to catch his breath, trembling.
His eyes fixated on his new hands and the unfamiliar body that felt foreign yet terrifyingly real. Spotting a mirror nearby, he hesitated before looking at his reflection. Staring back at him were Isabella’s brown eyes, so unlike his own and his mother's. He blinked and touched his face, trying to reshape his eyes but they wouldn't change. He played with his lips, cheeks, eyebrows, eyelashes, and nose, hoping to make them less girly, but every touch reminded him of their transformation.
Next, he turned his attention to the first piece of jewelry, a bracelet. He tried to unclasp it, but it seemed stuck, almost molded to his wrist. The same happened with the necklace as he tugged at it unsuccessfully. The anklet was too tight to slip off, and the charm bracelet refused to budge. The earrings were a mystery, seemingly fused to his earlobes, and the wedding ring seemed shrunken solidly around the new finger.
His efforts to adjust his dress were equally futile. He tried four different ways to loosen it, but it seemed only to tighten more snugly with each attempt. Even the sandals mocked him, the long nails complicating each effort to remove the intricate straps or buckles. Each step, twist, and bend only seemed to secure their grip on his new feet.
In frustration, he tried scraping the nail polish from his fingers and toes but found it resistant to any attempt. Suddenly, an involuntary jerk made him stumble forward, his body moving on its own. Step by step, he walked perfectly in the sandals, his posture involuntarily seductive.
Michael looked into the mirror again, unintentionally posing seductively. His new body's gestures felt alien, yet he couldn’t stop himself from making flirtatious looks, moving his hands gracefully, and shifting his legs and feet enticingly.
Hoping to speak, he opened his mouth, but the words that spilled out were sassy and altered. “Mommy, oh my gawd, what’s happening?” he said, the unfamiliar voice startling him. “Who am I, chica?”
Feeling a strange connection, his eyes landed on the photo in Isabelle's purse. He suddenly envisioned himself in her place, strangely compelled as he started to speak Spanish unintentionally, addressing her children, grandchildren, and husband from the photo.
“Hijos, abuelita está aquĂ. No se preocupen,” Michael’s voice vibrated with fear and worry as he felt spells of strange, new identity washing over him, clouding his mind with an unknown existence.
