**Title: Pandemic Shadows**
Seven-year-old George, with his sandy blonde hair tousled from play and blue eyes sparkling with curiosity, looked up at his 22-year-old mom, Emily. They were in the middle of a crowded grocery store, the shelves half-empty—a testament to the relentless hoarding sparked by the zombie pandemic.
George wore a bright blue Captain America t-shirt, paired with faded jeans and worn-out sneakers. His innocent face was framed by light pink cheeks, a contrast to the dark, eerie aisles of the store. His birthday fell on August 15, 2013. Emily, meanwhile, with her long, flowing chestnut hair tied back into a ponytail, her emerald green eyes scanning the shelves for necessities, was born on March 22, 1998. She wore a simple white blouse tucked into her high-waisted jeans, and brown leather boots that clicked softly against the tiled floor.
“Mommy, can I have some candy?” George asked, tugging at her sleeve.
“Not today, Georgie,” she replied, her voice tinged with concern. But as luck would have it, their mundane shopping trip was about to take a terrifying turn. The store’s speakers crackled with a panicked announcement: “Zombie outbreak in aisle three! Evacuate immediately!”
Emily’s eyes widened in fear, and she grabbed George’s hand, beginning to sprint towards the exit. “Mommy, wait for me!” George cried, his small legs struggling to keep up.
In the chaos, they passed a group of six black women near the entrance, who were nervously chattering and looking around. Their names were: Latoya, Shanelle, Monica, Keisha, Diamond, and Flora. Latoya, the eldest at age 46 (born May 15, 1974), had long, jet-black hair tied up in a high ponytail and dark brown eyes. She wore a red halter top with a short black skirt. Her shoes were strappy red sandals with high heels, revealing her perfectly manicured toenails painted in glossy red. She carried a small, black leather purse holding only the essentials: a lipstick, a compact mirror, and her phone.
Shanelle, 25 (born October 10, 1995), with shoulder-length curly hair and deep brown eyes, wore a tight green dress that hugged her curves, paired with gold stiletto heels. Her nails were a bold green, matching her dress. Monica, 28 (born February 17, 1992), had a stylish bob cut dyed blonde, with piercing hazel eyes. She wore a crop top and white shorts, with silver flip-flops that had small gemstones on the straps. Her nails were painted a soft pink, and her small handbag held a bottle of perfume and her wallet.
Keisha, 24 (born June 30, 1996), sported an afro and dark eyes, donning a blue tank top and denim shorts. Her gold sandals sparkled in the store's fluorescent lights, and her nails were painted a vibrant blue. Diamond, 26 (born April 5, 1994), with long braids and chocolate brown eyes, wore a yellow sundress with flat, comfortable sandals. Her nails were painted yellow to match her dress. Lastly, Flora, 23 (born December 12, 1997) had a sleek ponytail and green eyes, dressed in a black off-shoulder top and mini skirt, with black wedge sandals. Her nails were painted black, and her purse contained a small notebook and pen.
As Emily and George rushed past them, Latoya reached out to stabilize him. The instant her hand touched George, a wave of dizziness overcame him. His vision blurred, and he found himself looking down from a much greater height. His small shoes were now replaced by strappy red sandals.
“M-Mommy, where are you?” he tried to shout, but it came out as, “Momma, whe’ you at?” in an unfamiliar, accented voice. He stared at his now slender, dark-skinned hands in shock. George had swapped bodies with Latoya!
“Latoya, we’ve got to go!” Shanelle screamed, grabbing George-turned-Latoya’s arm and dragging him towards the exit. George looked around frantically, spotting his mother in the distance, her face stricken with panic and confusion. But amidst the chaos, Shanelle and the others pulled him out of the store, assuming he was their friend.
“This has to be a nightmare,” George thought, his new high heels clicking against the pavement as they fled the scene. “I want to wake up. Please, let this be a nightmare.” His heart raced, hoping that somehow, by some miracle, he would wake up back in his own body, with his mom by his side. But deep down, a terrifying realization gnawed at him: this bizarre swap might just be permanent.
