### Pandemic Chaos
The sun was shining with an alarming brightness for March 15, 2020, as Michael and his mom ventured into the grocery store. The world was not the same as it had been. Michael, born on September 9, 2012, stood at 3 feet 9 inches tall and weighed a modest 45 pounds. His brown hair was a tousled mop that danced over his forehead, and his blue eyes mirrored the innocence that was becoming harder to preserve in the world around him. Dressed in a small grey hoodie, faded jeans, and tiny blue sneakers, the white seven-year-old boy walked closely beside his young mother.
His mom, Emily, was just 28 years old. She was born on April 23, 1992, standing at 5 feet 5 inches and weighing around 130 pounds. Her dirty blonde hair was tied back in a practical ponytail that fell to her shoulders. She wore a simple blue t-shirt and black leggings, with trainers to facilitate quick movement—a necessity in these times. Emily’s green eyes were tired but vigilant, ever on the lookout in this fluctuating state of chaos. They had to get supplies, but the rumors of a new zombie outbreak spreading in the area had them on edge.
### The Unexpected Outbreak
The store was quieter than usual, the kind of quiet that grips you with unease rather than comfort. As they walked by the aisle packed with canned goods, a different kind of commotion started—a horror Michael and Emily hoped wasn't real. But it was.
Zombies began flooding into the store, causing pandemonium. Emily grabbed Michael's hand and began sprinting.
"Michael, stay close to me! Run!" she yelled in a panic, her voice frantic, echoing through the store.
Michael's heart pounded as he dashed after his mother. But as he ran, a group of black women appeared, their loud chatter filling the chaotic air. They all wore skimpy outfits—bright colored crop tops, denim shorts, or barely-there skirts, and shoes that varied from strappy sandals to high-heeled stilettos. Each woman carried a statement purse that swung violently with their movements.
### The Women
First, there was Jasmine, a 23-year-old with a notable hourglass figure from Miami, Florida. She stood at 5 feet 7 inches, weighing 150 pounds. Her long black hair was styled in luxurious waves, cascading over her shoulders, framing her chestnut eyes.
Sasha, who was 25 and originally from Chicago, Illinois, stood taller at 5 feet 9 inches and weighed around 160 pounds. Her short curly hair was dyed a striking blonde, contrasting sharply with her dark brown eyes.
Latoya, the oldest by far at 35 years old from Los Angeles, California, stood at 5 feet 5 inches and weighed 170 pounds. Her dreadlocks were tied back, revealing her piercing green eyes.
Finally, there was Kierra, just 22 years old from Brooklyn, New York, with a petite frame at 5 feet 4 inches and weighing 140 pounds. Her brown hair was fashioned into long braids, her eyes a tranquil hazel.
The women knew each other from college; they formed a tight-knit group through a shared love for travel and fashion, and they were at the store to grab snacks before a day out.
### The Swap
As Michael tried to keep up with his mother, Latoya reached out, her nails flashing a dangerous red, and grabbed Michael's arm. Instantly, he felt dizzy and a cold shiver washed over him. When he opened his eyes again, he was looking down... but the body he saw wasn't his own. He saw carefully painted toenails and a curvaceous figure.
"No! This ain't—"
Before he could comprehend further, Emily's desperate voice filled his ears from somewhere far away, barely audible over the screams.
“Mom, what's going on? Oh my God, Mom!” Michael cried out in shock, his voice coming out in a pitch and tone unlike his own. "Boo! Finna—what?—OMG, what's happening?"
### Panic and Realization
Seeing zombies approach, Michael tried to walk but stumbled in his new high-heeled sandals, clutching onto the cart for support, feeling an unfamiliar weight and balance.
"Mama, where are you!?" He cried again, a distinctive accent creeping into his words. "Momm—oh lawd, mama, gurl, please!"
Before he could gather his bearings, the other women grasped at his new hands, pulling him hurriedly through the aisles.
"Latoya, girl! You ain't payin' attention!" Jasmine shouted, her words dripping with sass.
"How you so clueless, boo? Still lookin' fine but girl, focus!" Sasha added, hyping her friend up even as they critiqued her.
"I'm scared," Michael admitted reluctantly, his voice trembling. "But gurl, I swear these curves... I can't deal."
### The Alleyway
The group managed to find an alleyway outside the store. Panting heavily, they collapsed against a wall, quickly checking each other for bites.
"You alright, Latoya? Ooh girl, you look so fine. I love your pedicure. You really representing LA loud and proud, baby! I just love the way those sandals look on your feet," Kierra praised, running her hands over her friend's body.
Michael felt compelled to respond. "Yeah, boo, you too. You look amazing," he replied, mimicking the motions as he ran his new hands over Kierra's body.
Finally managing to kick the sandals off, Michael saw his new feet bare for the first time. He reached out hesitantly, scrubbing at the nail polish in a futile attempt to reclaim himself.
### Acceptance and Farewell
"I'm gonna miss mommy so much, bye-bye mom," he said to himself, the words slipping out involuntarily. "Damn, I'm gonna miss her. I was... I was... shit, I don't know! I was Latoya, boo! Born on April 18, 1985, in LA! Girl, I can't—this is all messed up!"
Despite the overwhelming fear and confusion, Michael still found the strength within this new body to break down, hugging himself tightly.
Leaving behind the remnants of his old identity, he prepared to navigate the new and terrifying world in the body he now found himself in—a world where the only way forward was to survive.
