### A Strange Transformation

1. The boy’s name was Tommy Rivers.
2. He was born on March 15, 2014.
3. His height was 3 feet, 6 inches.
4. He weighed 40 pounds.
5. Tommy had sandy blonde hair, kept short and slightly tousled.
6. His eyes were a striking blue, wide with curiosity.
7. He was a white child, living in a suburban neighborhood.
8. His mother, Lily Rivers, was born on August 22, 1997.
9. She stood at 5 feet, 5 inches.
10. Lily weighed 130 pounds.
11. Her hair was long, straight, and light brown.
12. She had emerald green eyes.
13. It was a warm afternoon in the late 2010s.
14. Lily had finally allowed Tommy to take a short walk around their neighborhood alone for the first time.
15. Despite her nervousness, she knew it was time for him to start learning independence.
16. Tommy was thrilled and felt like he was embarking on an important adventure.
17. He clutched his small, blue backpack as he began his journey down the familiar sidewalk.
18. As he walked, he noticed the usual sights of his neighborhood.
19. The old oak tree with its low-hanging branches.
20. Mrs. Henderson’s flower garden bursting with colorful blooms.
21. The row of identical mailboxes lining the street.
22. But as he wandered farther, things started to look less familiar.
23. The houses became fewer and further apart.
24. Tommy began to feel a little confused.
25. “Where am I?” he said aloud, though no one was around to hear.
26. He took a left turn where he was sure he should have gone right.
27. The landscape became even more unfamiliar.
28. He saw an old, rusted gate that seemed out of place.
29. Beyond the gate was a wooded area that Tommy had never seen before.
30. Intrigued, he pushed the gate open with a grunt.
31. It creaked loudly, sending a shiver down his spine.
32. He stepped cautiously into the woods.
33. The air felt cooler and thicker here.
34. A strange feeling of being watched crept over him.
35. He stumbled over a few tree roots but kept moving.
36. Suddenly, he saw something odd half-buried in the ground.
37. It was a box, metallic and peculiar-looking.
38. It shimmered slightly, drawing his attention irresistibly.
39. Tommy walked up to it curiously.
40. The closer he got, the stranger he felt.
41. He reached out and touched the box.
42. A jolt shot through his body, making him pull back sharply.
43. The box felt cold, almost icy.
44. He should have backed away, but he found himself fascinated.
45. He crouched closer to get a better look.
46. Before he knew it, he was too close.
47. A sense of dizziness overwhelmed him.
48. The world around him started to blur.
49. His head felt heavy, and he was overcome with a strange feeling.
50. He stood up, trying to shake it off, but it only got worse.
51. Pain shot through his body, causing him to stumble forward.
52. His hair began to grow rapidly, turning unnaturally white.
53. His feet were the first to change.
54. His small sneakers transformed into black flats.
55. His feet elongated, becoming delicate and feminine.
56. They also appeared decayed, a pale, gray color seeping into his skin.
57. One foot twisted and broke, sending searing pain through him.
58. His legs grew longer and more shapely, but they too decayed and turned a greenish-gray.
59. A skimpy skirt formed around his waist.
60. Tommy’s arms followed suit, becoming slender and decayed, with pale skin hanging loosely.
61. His hands transformed into smaller, delicate ones, but with a zombie-like quality.
62. His chest swelled, forming a female figure underneath his shirt.
63. His face contorted in pain as it reshaped.
64. His eyes changed to a hollow, empty look.
65. His head throbbed as his features morphed into those of a decayed female.
66. Finally, the pain subsided.
67. Tommy tried to continue walking but stumbled over himself.
68. A mirror was nearby, reflecting his new form.
69. He gazed in horror at the sight.
70. His body was that of a female zombie.
71. “Mommy, ow, ow, ow, mom—uhhhhh uhhhhh,” he tried to call out.
72. Words turned into grunts and moans.
73. He could no longer articulate his thoughts.
74. His mind began to cloud.
75. Flashes of his previous life ran through his head.
76. He remembered Lily’s face, her smile.
77. His fifth birthday, blowing out candles.
78. Playing with his favorite toy dinosaur.
79. But these memories faded quickly.
80. All that remained was a hollow, empty feeling.
81. He stumbled away from the mirror.
82. The forest around him seemed to shift and warp.
83. His previous life felt like a distant dream.
84. He tried walking, but his broken foot made it difficult.
