**A New Perspective During a Zombie Pandemic**
---
The year 2020 brought with it an unprecedented wave of chaos, terror, and uncertainty, far beyond the viral pandemic that held the world in its throes. For many, fear became a constant companion. Yet none experienced it quite as profoundly as 7-year-old Ben, a pale-skinned boy with sandy hair and sparkling blue eyes.
Dressed in a blue hoodie with a dinosaur print, faded jeans, and well-worn sneakers, Ben clung to his mother, Claire Rivers, who was 32 years old by then. Standing at 5â7â and weighing around 140 pounds, Claire had lustrous chestnut hair that fell in gentle waves down to her shoulders and sharp green eyes. Her birthday fell on October 3, 1988, and her shoe size was an 8. Today, she had reluctantly dragged Ben to the local supermarket, hoping to gather as many supplies as possible amidst the turmoil caused by the zombie pandemic.
As they wearily navigated the near-deserted aisles, snatching whatever essentials they could find to fill their shopping cart, the alarm status turned on. Suddenly, zombies started pouring into the grocery store, their groans echoing ominously.
"Ben, run!" Claire shouted, her voice edged with desperate urgency. Grabbing Benâs arm, she bolted towards the back exit of the store, yanking him along as best she could. They weaved through aisles of overturned shelves and abandoned products, but Claire's breath became short.
Amid the chaos, a woman appeared out of nowhere. She was in her 30sâexactly the same age as Claire. About 5'5" tall, weighing around 120 pounds, she hailed from Liverpool, England. Her name was Emily Carter. With long, straight blonde hair that shimmered under the flickering store lights and piercing blue eyes, she was a striking contrast to the unfolding nightmare. Her skimpy blue summer dress and matching wedges seemed utterly out of place amidst the pandemonium. The wedges were beige, strappy, and of a delicate design, complimenting the six pieces of jewelry she wore, namely, thin silver bracelets, a charm necklace, elegant sapphire earrings, and two dainty rings bearing the British hallmark.
Emily had happened upon the store seeking shelter and struggling to find anyone alive. As she saw Ben amidst the mayhem, she instinctively reached out. "Hey, come here!"
Ben tried to sidestep her, but Emily's grip was firm. He started to feel dizzy, and as his vision blurred to black, the last sight was the compassionate look Emily gave him.
When Ben opened his eyes again, something was horribly off. He felt taller and strangely different. Glancing down, he saw long blonde hair cascading over his face. He stumbled back in shock, feeling the unfamiliar touch of a blue dress and the elevated sensation from the wedges now on his feet. Panic surged as he looked around. His motherâhis one constant in this frightening worldâwas nowhere to be found.
"I want to go 'ome! I want mummy!" Ben wailed, his voice emerging in a high-pitched British accent, the words twisting involuntarily to, "I want to go home! I want my mom!"
He tried to run but found himself tripping over the wedges. Tears welled in his eyes, and he continued to stumble further out of the store, narrowly escaping the advancing zombies. He finally paused outside, away from immediate danger, and caught sight of his reflection in a store window.
Ben innocently traced his now dainty eyes with a delicate finger, feeling alien features where the familiar contours of his face should be. He plucked at the end of his blonde locks, attempting to make it look less girly by pulling it back; only to have the silky strands fall back stubbornly.
"Bloody 'ell," he muttered, gagging at the girly voice. "I'm scared!" he cried, but it came out as, "Bloody âell, Iâm bloody scared!"
Desperate, Ben attempted to remove the blue dress clinging to Emily's form. Pulling at the hem, tugging at the seams, and even trying to slip it over his headâall proved futile. Next, he went after the wedges, unbuckling the straps, prying at the soles, trying to twist his feet freeâall to no avail. The straps seemed to tighten and move against his efforts, the shoes wouldn't budge.
Feeling claustrophobic from the trinkets adorning his new body, he turned his attention to the jewelry. First, he tried to remove the necklace, unclasping the chain, but his trembling fingers betrayed him. Then the braceletsâthey seemed stuck at one spot on his wrist. The earrings hurt as he tried pushing them out, and the rings seemed glued to her fingers. Each attempt left him feeling more helpless.
"I wonder if mummy is out in the car park near the rubbish bin," he thought aloud, the unbidden accent transforming his words to, "I wonder if mommy is out in the parking lot near the garbage can."
He began to cry, playing with the ends of his long hair in a futile attempt to make it look less girly. "I'm scared!" he cried again, but it came out, "Iâm bloody scared!"
Ben mustered what little courage he had left and started stumbling in the wedges outside towards the parking lot. Alas, it was empty but filled with countless zombies. His heart pounded, and tears streamed down his face as he clung to the hope of finding his mother, stumbling forward in his new, unyielding guise.
