**In the Eye of the Storm**
---
It was a chilly afternoon in late November 2020, and seven-year-old Michael was spending his birthday in what had become the normâindoors, limited to the company of his immediate family. Michael James Smith was born on November 25th, 2013. He stood at an average height for his age, just about 4 feet tall, weighing around 50 pounds. His blonde hair was cut into a shaggy, tousled style that framed his young, round face, while his blue eyes twinkled with innocence and curiosity. He was fair-skinned, reflecting his Caucasian heritage, and today he wore a bright blue T-shirt with cartoon dinosaurs on it, paired with khaki shorts and white sneakers.
His mother, Jessica Smith, only 26 years old, was young by any maternal standard. Standing at 5â6â and weighing around 130 pounds with a slim, athletic build, Jessica possessed the same blonde hair as her son, though hers was styled in a practical ponytail to keep out of the way. Her green eyes stood out strikingly against her fair skin. She wore a casual but practical outfit: a grey zip-up hoodie, a pair of yoga pants, and running shoesâthe standard attire for a quick grocery store run.
The grocery store hummed with an uneasy calm, though there was an ever-present tension in the air. The world was in the midst of a zombie pandemic, fluctuating between moments of uneasy control and sudden outbreaks. Today appeared to be one of those âunder controlâ days, but the balance was, at best, precarious.
Jessica was browsing through the cereal aisle, carefully eyeing the shelves for her son's favorite brand. Michael, as any seven-year-old would, was more interested in the colorful boxes and sugary promises on the cereal packaging. Moments turned into minutes, and just as Jessica found the correct box, a panicked scream erupted from the front of the store.
"Everyone! Run!"
In an instant, chaos ensued. People on every aisle started pushing their carts away, leaving behind groceries and scattering in all directions. The front doors had been breached by a horde of ravenous zombies, their groans filling the echoing space of the store.
Jessica dropped the cereal box, her previous objective entirely forgotten. "Michael!" Her voice rang with urgency. "Stay close to me, honey. We have to run!"
Michaelâs small legs pumped furiously, his eyes locked onto his mother who dashed ahead, weaving through the panicking crowd. As he bolted past the frozen foods section, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a striking figure come into viewâa black woman standing near a fallen shopping cart.
Her name was Latoya Steele, a 34-year-old woman from Houston, Texas. Born on October 9th, 1986, Latoya stood at 5â9â with a voluptuous figure, weighing around 160 pounds. Her dark, curly hair cascaded down to her shoulders, accentuating her almond-shaped brown eyes. She wore a rather risquĂ© outfit: a crop top that barely covered her midriff, paired with cut-off denim shorts. On her feet, she wore gladiator sandals that wound up around her lower legs, revealing hot pink toenails that matched the nail polish on her fingers. A shimmering charm bracelet decorated her left wrist, a chunky gold necklace hung around her neck, oversized hoop earrings adorned her ears, and several rings sparkled on her fingers. She clutched a designer purse, Prada, with essentials like her phone, a compact mirror, and a bright red lipstick inside.
As Michael ran past her, stumbling slightly in the chaos, Latoya looked down and caught sight of him. A mischievous glint sparkled in her eyes. She reached out, her voice dripping with sarcasm and sass, "Hey sugar, how 'bout a little swap, huh?"
Michael tried to veer away, but Latoya's touch was quick. Her fingers grazed his arm, and almost immediately, everything grew dizzying and dark. When he opened his eyes, he found himself towering above his usual height, his vision awash in unfamiliar surroundings. His skin was now a deep ebony, and to his horror, he found himself wearing the black woman's skimpy ensemble.
âWhat theâŠ?â Michael muttered, looking down at his newly-painted pink nails, feeling an overwhelming rush of confusion and fear. The purse now dangled from his shoulder, a stark and mocking reminder of the transformation.
The groans of the approaching zombies spurred him into motion, but running in the gladiator sandals was an ordeal. He wobbled, his gait uneven as he struggled to maintain balance. Still, he pressed on, driven by sheer instinct until he found himself at a safe distance from the invading horde.
Finding a moment to catch his breath, Michael glanced down at his hands, at the new body that he now inhabited. This can't be real, he thought, his young mind unable to fully grasp the bizarre reality. He stumbled into the nearest restroom and approached the sink, finding a mirror.
Staring back at him was Latoyaâs face, detailed with full, feminine lips that bore no resemblance to the lips he knew from his own reflection. Hesitantly, he touched them, attempting to push them inward or change their shape to be like his usual ones. "Come on, just be normal," he whispered to himself, but his efforts were fruitless. His eyes, cheeks, and eyebrows, so different from his own, felt alien as he tried to move and adjust them. His nose, more prominent than what he was used to, almost made him cross-eyed as he squinted.
Michael then reached up to touch his new hair, running his fingers through the curls and tugging at them in a futile attempt to make it look less girly. But the more he tampered with it, the more frustrated he became.
His attention shifted to the first piece of jewelry, the charm bracelet on his wrist. He tugged at it, tried to twist it off, but it remained stubbornly in place, the charms rattling mockingly. Next, he went for the chunky gold necklace; it felt heavy and restrictive. He struggled with the clasp, but his unfamiliar fingers couldnât manage it.
He moved on to the hoop earrings, pulling at them with enough gentle force, hoping they would pop out, but they stayed. His fingers then wrapped around the rings on each finger, but the snug fit and large designs made it impossible to remove them. Finally, he tried to yank off the last piece of visible jewelry, a dainty anklet, but the intricate closure was more than he could handle with his inexperienced hands.
Desperately, Michael tried to make the crop top look less revealing, pulling it down, tugging at the fabric, but it was designed to reveal skin, offering no flexibility. The cut-off shorts followed, made to fit snug and sit high on the waist leaving little fabric to work with. His sandals posed their own challenge; the straps and buckles were difficult to manipulate with his long nails. His newly slender fingers proved clumsy, and his attempts to free his feet were in vain.
Each step mockingly emphasized his now-feminine feet, toenails painted bright and polished. He bent down, scraping at the nail polish but it stayed stubbornly in place on both his fingers and toes. He let out an exasperated groan, feeling utterly defeated.
When he spoke next, his voice came out inexplicably sassy, filled with inflections and words he never would have used. "What the heck is goin' on here?" he exclaimed, his voice high-pitched and laden with unexpected slang. "This can't be real! I need mahâmomâŠmy, dammit! Help me! I ain't no nigâ!â
Michael clapped his hands over his mouth, shocked at the word that escaped his lips. His new reality had turned everything upside down. Now, with the zombies temporarily at bay, he had to find a way back to his own body. That task, however, seemed as monumental as it was bizarre.
