Title: Shifting Gears
Just as dawn was breaking, Officer Alex found himself getting into his patrol car like every other day, the gritty taste of half-cooked breakfast still lingering in his mouth. As he shifted his robust body into the seat, a throb of anxiety pulsed through him. There was a sudden flash of blinding light, and in the space between one breath and the next, the world seemed to shift and distort around him.
The taste of breakfast turned sweeter in his mouth. The steering wheel felt smaller in his hand, his knuckles now delicate and smooth. When he looked down, he found himself sitting on the curved navy-blue dress uniform hugs shaped to his new, slender physique. His feet, snug in black polished, low-heeled women's boots, were resting on the patrol car's carpeted floor.
Officer Alex was no longer.
In the rearview mirror, Alejandro's face looked back at her. Soft, rounded lines replaced the rugged, stubbled plains of Alex's face. Her hair, now a silky waterfall, tumbled down her shoulders in raven waves. She subconsciously gathered it up into a neat bun at the base of her neck, fastening it with a hair tie she found instinctively on her wrist. A standard uniform requirement for female officers with long hair.
Her heart hammering, Alejandro tried to grasp the reality of what was happening. The way she was now crossing her legs when sitting down, the way she brushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear, the way she found herself twisting a strand of hair around her finger nervously -- all seemed terrifyingly foreign yet instinctual.
Surely, she was still Alex. The man everyone knew as a hard-nosed cop, not this woman sitting in his patrol car. But when she tried to call herself by her old name, she couldn't. Moreover, her colleagues, they all looked at her with the easy familiarity of a long-time acquaintance, not the confusion she expected. To them, Alejandro had always been there, it seemed.
Then came the final nerve-wracking realization: the hamartia in her newfound reality. When she tried to summon what she once found attractive in women, she couldn't. Instead, she found her thoughts drifting towards the men in her precinct, their sturdy figure, and warm smiles. The initial resistance to this change was like trying to contain water in a fissured dam. Eventually, it seeped out, causing Alejandro to crumple in despair as she wrestled with the reality of her new identity.
Shifting Gears is the story of a woman caught between two universes, remembering what no one else can, and coming to terms with the fact that her old self had become the stranger instead of her new reality. It is about self-discovery and acceptance, shrouded in the vibrant, often gritty backdrop of law enforcement.
