183. He handed Mary a picture.
184. "I thought you’d want this back."
185. "I'll give you some space. I’ll sleep on the couch tonight."
186. Tom looked at the ring glistening.
187. The picture was of Mary and Bill from over 30 years ago.
188. They were in a lake, Mary in a simple bikini.
189. Bill held her up out of the water, her feet in the air.

193. Tears streamed down his face as he fell asleep.
## Part 17: False Hope
194. Tom woke up on the couch at home.
195. He was himself again.
196. It was bright and early morning.
197. He smelled his mom cooking.
198. Excited, he jumped off the couch.
199. He ran towards his mom.
200. "Mom, you won't believe what happened!"
201. He jerked awake.
202. It had been a dream.
203. He looked down.
204. He saw the same tank top, shorts, and womanly body.
205. He got up, exploring the closet.
206. He didn’t want to wear this girly outfit anymore.
207. He hoped to find something more boyish.
208. But everything was very feminine.
209. He sighed, let down.
## Part 18: The Shoes
210. He got curious about some of the more feminine shoes.
211. He tried on a pair of high heels.
212. They were sparkly silver, something Mary had owned for 20 years.

214. He slipped them on, teetering unsteadily.

220. Mary had these for 15 years, worn for date nights.
221. He wobbled as he stepped in them.
222. The feeling was strange and unnerving.
223. Tom took them off quickly.
## Part 19: Continuing Struggle
224. Thrown back into confusion, Tom sat down.
225. He was convinced this couldn’t be permanent.
226. But as days turned into weeks, it became evident.
227. He couldn’t see a way out of Mary’s body.
228. He fought the urge to panic.
229. Life continued around him.
230. He did his best to live Mary’s life.
231. But the overwhelming sense of loss lingered.
232. Every time he looked at his painted nails or feminine clothes.
233. The reality pressed heavier on his mind.
234. His mother, Sarah, would remain oblivious to her real son’s fate.
235. Mary’s friends and family never suspected a thing.
236. And so, Tom lived virtually unnoticed within Mary’s life.
237. A boy trapped in a woman’s body.
238. Struggling silently amidst her world.
239. In hopes that perhaps one day, he might find a way back to himself.
240. Even if that day never came.

Tom felt grossed out by all the feminine things about himself. 120. He started to remove various accessories. 121. First, he removed the earrings. 122. "Why do women wear these dangly things?" he questioned. 123. Next, he took off the anklet. 124. "What’s the point of this, anyway?" he wondered. 125. He then tried to remove the necklace. 126. "This feels heavy on my neck," he protested. 127. He peeled off the bracelet. 128. "Just have stuff hanging all over, huh?" he muttered. 129. He found trying to remove the rings frustrating. 130. "Why so many rings? Feels like grandma stuff," he commented. ## Part 11: Friends’ Reactions 131. "Mary, what are you doing?" asked Lucy. 132. "Why are you taking off your accessories?" inquired Martha. 133. "Isn't that necklace a gift from Bill?" Patricia noted. 134. "I've never seen you without that bracelet," said Eleanor. 135. "You should keep your wedding ring on," mentioned Lucy. 136. "It looks like you’re feeling uncomfortable," Martha observed. 137. "Are you getting too hot, Mary?" Patricia suggested. 138. "You never take off your earrings!" Eleanor exclaimed. 139. "Do you need to take a rest, hon?" Lucy offered. 140. "Maybe you should just relax and enjoy your day," Martha advised. ## Part 12: Familial Stress 141. Tom-as-Mary’s phone buzzed. 142. It was a call from Bill. 143. "Hey, honey. Just checking in. Did you manage to get the groceries?" 144. "Also, did you talk to Paul about his job situation?" 145. "I'm sorry if I upset you earlier today." 146. "I found your wedding ring on the counter." 147. "I'll see you when you get home. Love you." ## Part 13: Adult Children’s Requests 148. Then, a text came from Lisa. 149. "Hey Mom, did you remember to book that appointment for me?" 150. "Also, don't forget about John’s birthday next week!" 151. "Love you lots!" ## Part 14: The Drink Offer 152. Martha insisted on another drink for Mary. 153. She brought over a glass of Chardonnay. 154. "Here, Mary, you deserve this," she said cheerfully. ## Part 15: Trying to Adapt 155. Tom tried to act as much like Mary as possible. 156. He nodded and smiled to Martha. 157. "Thank you, Martha...I mean, thanks." 158. He took sips of the wine, feeling awkward. 159. He answered Bill’s call with as much conviction as he could. 160. "Yes, dear, I did those things. Love you too." 161. He texted Lisa back. 162. "Of course, sweetheart. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it." 163. He engaged in conversations with Mary’s friends. 164. Trying to discuss old memories and shared moments. 165. The day felt surreal and exhausting. ## Part 16: Bad Ending 166. Tom eventually fell asleep, hoping to wake up as himself. 167. The next morning, he awoke still in Mary’s body. 168. He tried calling his mom. 169. "Mom, it's me, Tom." 170. "Who is this? I don’t have a son," Sarah replied. 171. Desperate, Tom tried to convince her. 172. "Please, you must believe me!" 173. "You're mistaken, lady. Goodbye." 174. None of Mary’s friends believed him either. 175. Nor did Bill or her children. 176. Late one night, Tom lay in Mary’s bed. 177. He stared miserably at his painted nails. 178. They seemed impossible to remove. 179. Bill walked in, looking remorseful. 180. "I'm sorry for whatever I did, Mary." 181. "I found your wedding ring on the kitchen counter." 182. He gently slipped it back on her finger. 183. He handed Mary a picture. 184. "I thought you’d want this back." 185. "I'll give you some space. I’ll sleep on the couch tonight." 186. Tom looked at the ring glistening. 187. The picture was of Mary and Bill from over 30 years ago. 188. They were in a lake, Mary in a simple bikini. 189. Bill held her up out of the water, her feet in the air. 190. She seductively looked back at him. 191. Tom stared at himself, now her. 192. Quietly, he whispered, "Goodnight, mommy." 193. Tears streamed down his face as he fell asleep. ## Part 17: False Hope 194. Tom woke up on the couch at home. 195. He was himself again. 196. It was bright and early morning. 197. He smelled his mom cooking. 198. Excited, he jumped off the couch. 199. He ran towards his mom. 200. "Mom, you won't believe what happened!" 201. He jerked awake. 202. It had been a dream. 203. He looked down. 204. He saw the same tank top, shorts, and womanly body. 205. He got up, exploring the closet. 206. He didn’t want to wear this girly outfit anymore. 207. He hoped to find something more boyish. 208. But everything was very feminine. 209. He sighed, let down. ## Part 18: The Shoes 210. He got curious about some of the more feminine shoes. 211. He tried on a pair of high heels. 212. They were sparkly silver, something Mary had owned for 20 years. 213. She wore them for fancy dinners. 214. He slipped them on, teetering unsteadily. 215. Next, he examined a pair of ballet flats. 216. They were black with little bows. 217. She had them for about 10 years, worn for casual outings. 218. Tom tried them too, finding them too snug. 219. Lastly, he saw red stilettos. 220. Mary had these for 15 years, worn for date nights. 221. He wobbled as he stepped in them. 222. The feeling was strange and unnerving. 223. Tom took them off quickly. ## Part 19: Continuing Struggle 224. Thrown back into confusion, Tom sat down. 225. He was convinced this couldn’t be permanent. 226. But as days turned into weeks, it became evident. 227. He couldn’t see a way out of Mary’s body. 228. He fought the urge to panic. 229. Life continued around him. 230. He did his best to live Mary’s life. 231. But the overwhelming sense of loss lingered. 232. Every time he looked at his painted nails or feminine clothes. 233. The reality pressed heavier on his mind. 234. His mother, Sarah, would remain oblivious to her real son’s fate. 235. Mary’s friends and family never suspected a thing. 236. And so, Tom lived virtually unnoticed within Mary’s life. 237. A boy trapped in a woman’s body. 238. Struggling silently amidst her world. 239. In hopes that perhaps one day, he might find a way back to himself. 240. Even if that day never came.
