0 Points

Emily Jennings patted her office folder and checked the mirror once more; the reflection she saw was not the one she was familiar with, and the name that she heard inside her head was not the one she had always answered to. It was as if she was stuck in a time warp with her past self, not as Ethan, but as Emily. She had no distinct recollection of being Ethan, her masculine counterpart, excluding the echo of a masculine voice inside her head that seemed to get lower with each passing day.
With every tick of the clock, Emily saw herself changing, not physically but metamorphically, from the boy she was to the woman she had become. Although her hands still wrapped around the steering wheel with a strength resembling Ethan, there was a gentleness to them too, an ease that was unique to Emily.
The memories of long hours spent training, of the heat and exhaustion, had been replaced by memories of her time as a girl, and her time in the military transformed into a woman's perspective of those years. Memories of soldiers yelling and scuffling were replaced with memories of Emily supporting fellow soldiers in quiet courage. The gunfire and dust that had defined Ethan's time in the military were now replaced with Emily's memories of camaraderie and a feminine strength among the chaos.
"Ethan…" Emily muttered, trying to jar her mind back to the man she used to be but to no avail. Her words only seemed to deepen the emulation of Emily's past, eradicating the memories of Ethan. The past self, the male persona, felt distant, as though it had belonged to a different lifetime. Each time she tried to remember "his" side of the memories, they morphed into their female counterparts. For instance, instead of the sharp buzz-cut she used to carry, she saw herself adjusting a tight military bun in the reflection.
Chills ran down her spine as she clutched her head, the dull ache escalating into a full-blown headache. Every memory was replaced, each version of her past experiences leaving no place for her as a man. Despite her best efforts, she found Emily becoming more real.
Her clothes no longer felt foreign but another reminder of her new persona, the fit of her uniform settling more comfortably on her body than she remembered. Looking at herself, she no longer saw Ethan. Instead, she saw a feminine contour where a masculine form used to be, a soft face where a hard one used to thrive. Each day she woke up, Ethan was just a little more faded, and Emily was a little more visible. Each day, she found herself accepting Emily just a bit more.
However, she still remembered who she used to be. No matter how much her world changed, she could recall the male past she once had. Even though she couldn't remember the feeling or touch of that past, she knew she was Ethan once. Yet, the question loomed in her mind, was she still Ethan, or was she now Emily?
Her mind said Ethan. Her heart said Emily. Yet her reality was Emily. And in a battle that challenged her existence, Emily had to decide. Would she let Ethan remain a mere figment of her memory or would she allow herself to embrace Emily fully?
As she closed her eyes, clutching onto her last pieces of Ethan, Emily realized that she had to let him go to become who she was now. Emily Jennings, the policewoman. Each memory was a stepping stone towards her new identity, her new life. Ethan, the boy she once was, had to be forgotten to let Emily, the woman she had now become, thrive. Every fighting instinct inside her was overwhelmed by Emily's gushing acceptance.
And just like that, a new journey began for Emily. One that was filled with the echoes of a forgotten past and the promise of an unforeseen future. Because sometimes the past could only be defeated by embracing the future. And Emily was ready to do just that. She was ready to let go of Ethan and to embrace Emily for who she truly was - a woman living her truth, unencumbered by a past that no longer existed.

Prompt: write a part 2 when sitting in her patrol car still in her police uniform suddenly only she is the only one who remembers her time as a man with everything from I.D to social media always having her as a woman. Her old memories warp to her being a girl in them with memories of prom dresses, periods and even when she lost her virginity with her boyfriend. All the memories morph till only memories of being a girl are left describe how the memories change but she tries to resist and fight this and clutches her head in her dainty hands as a massive headache forms, however she still knows she used to be a man but all the male memories are erased despite how hard she tried to stop it and watches in horror as each memory is replaced with her as a girl even her time in the military were she was now a woman in, she had no memory of what is felt like to be a boy or have male genitals now instead only remembering having a vagina and breasts no longer remembering having anything between her legs or having a flat chest. her name slowly morphs in her head from the male name to the female name she says the name in her head to try to remember the male name but as she says it repeatedly it to slowly changes to female name with her now not being able to remember her old name then more of her memories alter she tries to resist this but fails .but she still remembers that she used to be a boy. Emily Jennings had always been the type to thrive on routine and certainty. Formerly assigned as Ethan Jennings, she was moved overnight from the familiar hum of the military to the vibrant chaos of the police force, and yet the biggest shock was yet to come. As a 22-year-old ex-soldier now converted into a cop, the change she experienced was a universal paradox; that turned her world upside down while leaving the world of everyone else untouched. With lightning speed, she was now a female. Her masculine form had wilted into a feminine one, her once short, cropped hair had grown to long tresses that draped over her shoulders. Her past life as Ethan seemed to exist only in her mind, her reality had been wiped clean. Her military service card, her driver's license — everything indicated that she always had been Emily Jennings, the stalwart female officer proudly serving the masses. She was cast into the role of a policewoman in a pant suit, sporting tactical boots, a fitted navy-blue uniform embellished with her badge, gun belt and the tools of her trade. The pants were a design made for women but not of the sort that Ethan had ever worn – the fit was different, hugging her curved hips and her slender waist in a way that seemed new and strangely right. Her memory was a battlefield, warring between the vestiges of Ethan and newly born Emily. From the moment she uttered her new name out loud, Ethan seemed to fade to a quiet whisper. She made countless efforts to clutch onto her past, trying to call upon her old name, striving to refer to herself as 'he', but the words just wouldn't come. As days passed her actions became consciously feminine. She found herself sitting with her knees together, a detail never attended to as Ethan. A quick glance in the side-view mirror exhibited the soft contours of Emily’s face, highlighted by her delicate features that had formerly been chiseled. Her once short, military-cropped hair had cascaded into long waves that she instinctively wound up into a standard bun. The mirror also capturing the sight of her running her fingers through her hair, pushing loose strands behind her ears – a habit she never realized she had adopted. And when she was nervous? Emily found herself twirling strands of hair around her fingers, struggling to resist these new ticks that seemed to have appeared overnight. But the deepest of all changes? Emily found herself drawn towards men. Much to her confusion, but each time she tried to remember why and what she found attractive in women, her mind drew a blank. Despite her efforts to redefine her inclinations, her internal compass which had once pointed towards women spun in the opposite direction — her attraction towards men was overwhelming and unstoppable. Emily’s existential crisis grew by the day while she fought the inevitability of her transformation. Her struggle to understand why the vestiges of Ethan clung onto her cognition while Emily dominated her physical reality began to consume her every thought. Now, as she stood staring at herself in the mirror, she wondered, if her old self ever even really existed, or was it merely a memory, a glitch in her mind, the fabric of someone who she could no longer remember fully. Could she ever reconcile these dual identities, or must one be wholly forgotten for the other to thrive? These questions lingered as Emily began her journey through her altered existence, grappling to find a newfound reality amidst the remnants of the past.
