"Identity Swap: The Sisterhood's Survival"
0 Points
0
July 15th, 2020, dawned on a world unlike anything seven-year-old Michael Gerrison had ever known. As a child born on February 12, 2013, Michael stood at a sturdy 4'1" and weighed around 55 lbs. His light brown hair was short and unruly, cascading into his lively blue eyes. Dressed in a simple Spider-Man t-shirt and denim shorts, Michael clung close to his mother, Laura Gerrison, who at 28 years old was still adapting to their precarious reality.
Laura, born October 3, 1992, stood at a moderate 5'6", with an athletic figure weighing around 130 lbs. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a practical ponytail, and her green eyes scanned the aisles of the grocery store cautiously. Her casual attire, a grey tank top and jeans paired with sneakers, contrasted starkly against the tense, urgent mood.
As they navigated through aisles, the overhead announcement blared, reporting an uncontrolled outbreak nearby. Instincts kicked in as Laura shouted, "Michael, stay close!" Just then, a chaotic surge of zombies burst into the store.
"Mommy!" Michael's voice quivered as Laura gripped his hand tightly. They zigzagged through aisles, trying to dodge the invasive horror. Suddenly, as they turned a corner, a peculiar sight stopped them in their tracks. Five black women entered, their heels clicking on the tiled floor, each adorned in skimpy outfits suitable for a raucous night out rather than a pandemic-stricken grocery run.
"Follow me, Michael!" Laura shouted over her shoulder, but Michael's eyes were glued to the approaching women.
The first woman, Nia, age 24, born June 16, 1996, standing at 5'7" with a weight of 140 lbs. Her long, braids reached her waist, and her deep brown eyes twinkled despite the dire situation. She hailed from Birmingham, Alabama. Beside her, a friend named Jasmine, age 23, born December 5, 1997, was slightly shorter at 5'5" and weighed around 135 lbs. Her slender frame was accentuated by her curly, dark hair and hazel eyes; she was from Chicago, Illinois.
Next was Keisha, a statuesque 6'0", weighing 150 lbs, age 27, born January 11, 1993. Her buzz cut highlighted her striking cheekbones and she moved with confidence. Keisha was from Detroit, Michigan. The fourth woman, Lila, age 26, born April 20, 1994, standing at 5'4" and weighing 120 lbs, with straight hair in a bob and almond-shaped black eyes, was from Houston, Texas.
Finally, the oldest of the group by far was Shauntel, age 37, born May 9, 1983, 5'8" tall and weighing around 155 lbs. With dreadlocks and deep brown eyes, her charismatic demeanor stood out. She was from Portland, Oregon. These women had grown up together, bonded in sisterhood, and were at the store for some pre-party essentials on their unconventional girls' outing.
As chaos ensued, Keisha’s hand shot out, grasping Michael’s tiny wrist. An overwhelming dizziness overtook him. He opened his eyes, now towering over the scene, looking down to notice an unrecognizable body: curvaceous, clad in a sultry red dress, perfectly manicured nails, and those skimpy sandals he had just gawked at.
Gagging at the sight, Michael gasped, "Mom, wha's goin' on? Oh ma gawd, Mom!" His voice, now a melodic feminine tone soaked in Nia's Birmingham accent, echoed through the panic.
A rush of memories foreign to Michael clouded his mind. He couldn't revert back, trapped in Nia's vibrant body. The four friends, thinking nothing of the drastic soul swap, pulled him—now her—through the store, relying on their unparalleled camaraderie.
"Oh girl, you best be payin’ attention," Jasmine sassed, eyes flashing with a mix of concern and irritation. "How you gon’ get distracted at a time like this?"
"Yeah, Nia, we can’t afford you lookin' all clueless. Get yo' crap together!" Keisha's voice carried authority, although her words aimed to solidify their bond.
"I'm scared," that familiar yet alien voice escaped Michael, dread pooling in the pit of his stomach, "and my curves—what the heck!" He couldn't pinpoint why he suddenly described his unfamiliar form with such mature vocabulary, yet the accent twisted his words naturally.
After tumultuous twists and dashes, the group huddled in a nearby alleyway, evaluating their situation. Shauntel turned to Nia's form housing Michael.
"You alright, Nia? Ooh girl, you look so fine. I love yo' emerald green pedicure, really representin' Birmingham, loud and proud!" Shauntel’s hands trailed over Nia/Michael’s arms, soothing, yet unnerving for Michael.
The nightmare didn’t end. Encompassed by these vivacious, agile women, Michael's pleas for his mother echoed internally, only betrayed by the perplexing sensations of his newly adopted form and the relentless chaos around them.
