10. Her shoe size was a modest 7.
11. "Mommy, are my feet gonna be that tiny when I grow up?" Jim asked innocently, mispronouncing a couple of words.
12. "No, sweetie," his mom replied with a laugh. "Since you're a boy and not a girl, your feet should grow very big, probably a size 11 or 12."
13. They were cautiously grabbing food and supplies, putting them in their cart.
14. Suddenly, chaos erupted as zombies began to pour into the grocery store.
15. Laura grabbed Jim's hand and started running, her heart pounding in her chest.
16. Jim followed closely behind, nearly tripping over his own feet in his panic.
17. Six Russian women appeared, the front runners having silver-blonde hair styled in short, neat bobs.

37. The chaos didn't slow the six women down; they forged their path through the overrun store.
38. Irina noticed Jim speaking to his mom and reached out to grab him.
39. Jim tried to avoid her, but she caught him firmly by the shoulder.
40. He felt a wave of dizziness, and then his vision went black.
41. When Jim opened his eyes, everything seemed different.
42. He realized he felt taller and looked down to see that he was wearing a light blue blouse and brown knee-length pants.
43. The platform sandals on his feet were white, and his nails were painted mauve.
44. "Mommy!" he cried out, his voice unwillingly breaking into broken English with a Russian accent, "I vant to go home! I vant Mommy!"
45. Jim stumbled over the platform sandals, finding the outfit very uncomfortable.
46. He tripped over a shelf and landed hard, gagging at how girly everything felt.
47. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to pace himself and keep moving.
48. Running in the platform sandals was almost impossible; he kept tripping over them.
49. Eventually, Jim got far enough away from the zombies.
50. He stopped to catch his breath and found a mirror to study his new reflection.
51. He traced his now-female eyes with his hands, trying to remember what his boyish eyes used to look like.
52. "I vant to go home, I vant Mommy," he cried out again in broken English, his voice cracking with distress.
53. Tears flowed from his eyes as he heard his own voice, now feminine.
54. He plucked at the short hair, noticing the polished nails on his new hands and the wedding ring.
55. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't change his hair back to its boyish style.
56. Frustrated, he tried to remove the blouse and skirt in various ways.
57. First, he tried to pull the blouse over his head, but it wouldn’t budge.
58. Then, he attempted to unbutton it, but his fingers fumbled with the tiny buttons.
59. After that, he tried to tug the skirt down, but it was snug at the waist.
60. He even thought of ripping the fabric, but it was too sturdy.
61. Lastly, he tried to wiggle out of it, but it just wouldn’t come off.
62. Desperately, he tried to remove the platform sandals.
63. He pulled at the straps, but they wouldn't open.
64. He tried to slip his feet out, but the sandals were too tight.
65. Next, he stomped his feet to loosen them, but they remained stuck.
66. He even sat down to unbuckle them, but his new nails made it impossible to manage the tiny fasteners.
67. Finally, he tried wiggling his feet free, but the sandals wouldn’t budge.
68. Jim noticed his tiny female feet, feeling disgusted.
69. "I hate having girl feet and talking like funny lady," he said in very broken English.
70. He moved one foot, lost his balance, and tripped, flying to his feet.
71. He walked unwillingly in a feminine fast speedwalk, realizing just how awkwardly feminine his new body moved.
72. The platform sandals thumped against the ground loudly.
73. Catching his reflection again, he saw how feminine he looked.
74. Jim decided to try removing some of the woman's jewelry.
75. First, he focused on the delicate bracelet on his wrist.
76. As he twisted it around, he found no clasp and couldn't remove it.
77. Next, he tried to take off her golden necklace.
78. The tiny clasp was too intricate for his fumbling fingers.
79. He then went for the earrings, realizing he couldn't even find where they were pierced.
80. The anklet was fourth.
81. He tugged at it, but it felt like it was welded shut.
82. Lastly, he tried to remove an ornate ring, but it felt snug, and his fingers couldn't grip it properly.
83. "I’m scared," Jim said unwillingly, again in very broken English.
84. He squeezed his eyes shut in terror.
85. Within moments, the five other Russian women found him and grabbed his hands.
86. They began to guide him somewhere.
87. Elena criticized Jim, reminding him of his age and family.
88. "Elena, remember you are 65 years old, married to Alexey with three children—Natalia, Dimitri, and Ivana," she said in Russian.
89. Jim, still in the woman’s body, heard them speaking but couldn’t understand a word.
90. He struggled to run in the platform sandals as the women dragged him out to the parking lot.
91. The parking lot was eerily empty.
92. Terrified, he squeezed his eyes shut again.
93. The Russian women believed their friend, Elena, was suffering a mental episode.
94. "What are you trying to tell us?" one asked in Russian.
95. "I not a girl, I a boy," Jim sputtered in very broken English.
96. "My name is Jim, my mom is Laura."
97. He motioned worriedly to the platform sandals and all the jewelry.
98. Gradually, the women helped him remove the platform sandals and all the jewelry, including the wedding ring.
99. One of the women noticed Laura nearby, looking desperately for her son.
100. "This boy deserves a less stressful life," one whispered in Russian.
101. Another agreed, "His life as Elena will be less stressful. He will not worry about growing up, getting a girlfriend, or turning 18, 16, or 21."
102. "Yes, he will think he has always been Elena, who is already married with kids," another added in Russian.
103. They concluded that it really was a boy in their friend's body.
104. "We will erase his memories, so he doesn't have to know about his mom anymore," one decided.
105. "And he can enjoy his new life as Elena, a woman who has already lived a long life," they agreed.
106. "We will completely override the boy’s existence."
107. "We see your mom," one of the Russian women said in very broken English.
108. "You found my mommy?" Jim replied in broken English, his heart lifting.
109. "There is just one problem," another Russian woman said in broken English.
110. "We are going to erase your memories and make you our friend," she continued.
111. "No, I don't wanna be a girl!" Jim protested in broken English.
112. The women started casting their spell, chanting in Russian.
113. Jim tried to resist the mental changes, but he succumbed to them in the end.
114. His memories of being a little boy gradually faded.
115. His favorite foods started to change from pizza to borscht.
116. His favorite TV show morphed from "SpongeBob SquarePants" to a Russian drama series.

125. His experiences of road trips with his mom became shopping trips with her clients.
126. His dreams of becoming an astronaut changed to dreams of expanding the salon.
127. Jim opened his eyes in Elena’s body, barefoot and without her jewelry.
128. "Where is my jewelry and my wedding ring?" she asked her friends in Russian.
129. Slowly, she put each piece of jewelry back on with intricacy.
130. She slipped her necklace back on, fastening the clasp gently.
131. The bracelet followed, turned around her wrist until it fit just right.
132. She placed the earrings back with practiced ease.
133. The ornate ring slid right back on her finger.
134. The anklet circled back around her ankle.
135. Lastly, she put on her wedding ring, treasuring its sentimental value.
136. The platform sandals were the final touch, and she donned them slowly, tightening the straps with care.
137. She looked down at her blouse and skirt and platform sandals, adjusting all of it.
138. Her nails and jewelry were back in place, and she felt more like herself.
139. "What happened to me?" she asked her friends in Russian, confused.
140. "You thought you were a little boy," one of her friends explained.
141. Elena laughed at the absurdity, "Why would I forget about my husband and children?"
142. "You’ve accomplished so much in life as a woman," her friends reminded her.
143. "You have never been a boy before, so you wouldn’t want to be one," another added.
144. "Thank you for correcting my mind," she said, chuckling and running her fingers through her short hair.
145. She looked down at her jewelry and sandals, making a comment about her tiny feet.
146. "My feet are so small," she remarked, laughing again.
147. "Let’s quiz you," one suggested, still in Russian.
148. "How old are you?" they asked.
149. "I am 65 years old," she replied in Russian.
150. "When is your birthday?"
151. "February 3, 1955," she answered easily.
152. "Who are your family members?"
153. "My husband Alexey and my children Natalia, Dimitri, and Ivana."
154. "Where are you from originally?"
155. "I am from Moscow, Russia."
156. "Where do you work?"
157. "At the salon with my sisters."
158. "What are your regrets?"
159. "My biggest regret is not spending more time with my family."
160. "Why?" they asked.
161. "Because time is precious, and we always think there will be more of it."
162. "What is another regret?"
163. "Not expanding the salon sooner."
164. "Why?"
165. "We lost many potential clients because we had limited space," she explained.
166. "Do you have any another regret?"
167. "Yes, moving away from Moscow so late."
168. "How did you meet us?"
169. "I met you all in 1980 at a salon conference."
170. "What were we doing?"
171. "Discussing the latest trends in hair styling," Elena replied confidently.
172. She had always been the most passionate about her work, meeting Anastasiya and Yelena at the same conference where they bonded over common goals.
173. At the end, they all laughed together, pressing forward in their lives once more.
174. "I’m Elena, and this is just who I am now, despite the strange memories," she concluded, relishing in her salon work.
175. Having friends and family backing her made everything clearer.
176. They walked back to the salon, a sense of resolution settling over the group.
177. As they entered the empty streets, Elena couldn’t help but feel a sense of fulfillment.
178. The cheerful thumping of her platform sandals on the pavement brought a smile to her face.
179. The absurdity of thinking she was a boy faded into the ether, leaving only Elena's life in focus.
180. And as they made their way home, there was only peace in Elena's heart, as the last remnants of Jim's existence dissolved into distant memory.

"I vant to go home, I vant Mommy," he cried out again in broken English, his voice cracking with distress. 53. Tears flowed from his eyes as he heard his own voice, now feminine. 54. He plucked at the short hair, noticing the polished nails on his new hands and the wedding ring. 55. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't change his hair back to its boyish style. 56. Frustrated, he tried to remove the blouse and skirt in various ways. 57. First, he tried to pull the blouse over his head, but it wouldn’t budge. 58. Then, he attempted to unbutton it, but his fingers fumbled with the tiny buttons. 59. After that, he tried to tug the skirt down, but it was snug at the waist. 60. He even thought of ripping the fabric, but it was too sturdy. 61. Lastly, he tried to wiggle out of it, but it just wouldn’t come off. 62. Desperately, he tried to remove the platform sandals. 63. He pulled at the straps, but they wouldn't open. 64. He tried to slip his feet out, but the sandals were too tight. 65. Next, he stomped his feet to loosen them, but they remained stuck. 66. He even sat down to unbuckle them, but his new nails made it impossible to manage the tiny fasteners. 67. Finally, he tried wiggling his feet free, but the sandals wouldn’t budge. 68. Jim noticed his tiny female feet, feeling disgusted. 69. "I hate having girl feet and talking like funny lady," he said in very broken English. 70. He moved one foot, lost his balance, and tripped, flying to his feet. 71. He walked unwillingly in a feminine fast speedwalk, realizing just how awkwardly feminine his new body moved. 72. The platform sandals thumped against the ground loudly. 73. Catching his reflection again, he saw how feminine he looked. 74. Jim decided to try removing some of the woman's jewelry. 75. First, he focused on the delicate bracelet on his wrist. 76. As he twisted it around, he found no clasp and couldn't remove it. 77. Next, he tried to take off her golden necklace. 78. The tiny clasp was too intricate for his fumbling fingers. 79. He then went for the earrings, realizing he couldn't even find where they were pierced. 80. The anklet was fourth. 81. He tugged at it, but it felt like it was welded shut. 82. Lastly, he tried to remove an ornate ring, but it felt snug, and his fingers couldn't grip it properly. 83. "I’m scared," Jim said unwillingly, again in very broken English. 84. He squeezed his eyes shut in terror. 85. Within moments, the five other Russian women found him and grabbed his hands. 86. They began to guide him somewhere. 87. Elena criticized Jim, reminding him of his age and family. 88. "Elena, remember you are 65 years old, married to Alexey with three children—Natalia, Dimitri, and Ivana," she said in Russian. 89. Jim, still in the woman’s body, heard them speaking but couldn’t understand a word. 90. He struggled to run in the platform sandals as the women dragged him out to the parking lot. 91. The parking lot was eerily empty. 92. Terrified, he squeezed his eyes shut again. 93. The Russian women believed their friend, Elena, was suffering a mental episode. 94. "What are you trying to tell us?" one asked in Russian. 95. "I not a girl, I a boy," Jim sputtered in very broken English. 96. "My name is Jim, my mom is Laura." 97. He motioned worriedly to the platform sandals and all the jewelry. 98. Gradually, the women helped him remove the platform sandals and all the jewelry, including the wedding ring. 99. One of the women noticed Laura nearby, looking desperately for her son. 100. "This boy deserves a less stressful life," one whispered in Russian. 101. Another agreed, "His life as Elena will be less stressful. He will not worry about growing up, getting a girlfriend, or turning 18, 16, or 21." 102. "Yes, he will think he has always been Elena, who is already married with kids," another added in Russian. 103. They concluded that it really was a boy in their friend's body. 104. "We will erase his memories, so he doesn't have to know about his mom anymore," one decided. 105. "And he can enjoy his new life as Elena, a woman who has already lived a long life," they agreed. 106. "We will completely override the boy’s existence." 107. "We see your mom," one of the Russian women said in very broken English. 108. "You found my mommy?" Jim replied in broken English, his heart lifting. 109. "There is just one problem," another Russian woman said in broken English. 110. "We are going to erase your memories and make you our friend," she continued. 111. "No, I don't wanna be a girl!" Jim protested in broken English. 112. The women started casting their spell, chanting in Russian. 113. Jim tried to resist the mental changes, but he succumbed to them in the end. 114. His memories of being a little boy gradually faded. 115. His favorite foods started to change from pizza to borscht. 116. His favorite TV show morphed from "SpongeBob SquarePants" to a Russian drama series. 117. The memories of playing with his friends in the park turned into visiting the salon with Russian clients. 118. His best friend's name changed from Tim to Tatiana. 119. His childhood favorite movie transformed from "Toy Story" to a Soviet-era classic. 120. Jim's memories of his school shifted to longer working hours at the salon. 121. Playing soccer was replaced by helping out with manicures. 122. His love for superheroes morphed into a passion for salon businesses. 123. His favorite class turned from art to styling. 124. The first time he rode a bike shifted to the first time he styled someone's hair. 125. His experiences of road trips with his mom became shopping trips with her clients. 126. His dreams of becoming an astronaut changed to dreams of expanding the salon. 127. Jim opened his eyes in Elena’s body, barefoot and without her jewelry. 128. "Where is my jewelry and my wedding ring?" she asked her friends in Russian. 129. Slowly, she put each piece of jewelry back on with intricacy. 130. She slipped her necklace back on, fastening the clasp gently. 131. The bracelet followed, turned around her wrist until it fit just right. 132. She placed the earrings back with practiced ease. 133. The ornate ring slid right back on her finger. 134. The anklet circled back around her ankle. 135. Lastly, she put on her wedding ring, treasuring its sentimental value. 136. The platform sandals were the final touch, and she donned them slowly, tightening the straps with care. 137. She looked down at her blouse and skirt and platform sandals, adjusting all of it. 138. Her nails and jewelry were back in place, and she felt more like herself. 139. "What happened to me?" she asked her friends in Russian, confused. 140. "You thought you were a little boy," one of her friends explained. 141. Elena laughed at the absurdity, "Why would I forget about my husband and children?" 142. "You’ve accomplished so much in life as a woman," her friends reminded her. 143. "You have never been a boy before, so you wouldn’t want to be one," another added. 144. "Thank you for correcting my mind," she said, chuckling and running her fingers through her short hair. 145. She looked down at her jewelry and sandals, making a comment about her tiny feet. 146. "My feet are so small," she remarked, laughing again. 147. "Let’s quiz you," one suggested, still in Russian. 148. "How old are you?" they asked. 149. "I am 65 years old," she replied in Russian. 150. "When is your birthday?" 151. "February 3, 1955," she answered easily. 152. "Who are your family members?" 153. "My husband Alexey and my children Natalia, Dimitri, and Ivana." 154. "Where are you from originally?" 155. "I am from Moscow, Russia." 156. "Where do you work?" 157. "At the salon with my sisters." 158. "What are your regrets?" 159. "My biggest regret is not spending more time with my family." 160. "Why?" they asked. 161. "Because time is precious, and we always think there will be more of it." 162. "What is another regret?" 163. "Not expanding the salon sooner." 164. "Why?" 165. "We lost many potential clients because we had limited space," she explained. 166. "Do you have any another regret?" 167. "Yes, moving away from Moscow so late." 168. "How did you meet us?" 169. "I met you all in 1980 at a salon conference." 170. "What were we doing?" 171. "Discussing the latest trends in hair styling," Elena replied confidently. 172. She had always been the most passionate about her work, meeting Anastasiya and Yelena at the same conference where they bonded over common goals. 173. At the end, they all laughed together, pressing forward in their lives once more. 174. "I’m Elena, and this is just who I am now, despite the strange memories," she concluded, relishing in her salon work. 175. Having friends and family backing her made everything clearer. 176. They walked back to the salon, a sense of resolution settling over the group. 177. As they entered the empty streets, Elena couldn’t help but feel a sense of fulfillment. 178. The cheerful thumping of her platform sandals on the pavement brought a smile to her face. 179. The absurdity of thinking she was a boy faded into the ether, leaving only Elena's life in focus. 180. And as they made their way home, there was only peace in Elena's heart, as the last remnants of Jim's existence dissolved into distant memory.
