The air was filled with an eerie silence as Michael and his mom roamed the aisles of their local grocery store. It was September 16, 2020—a year Michael had swiftly started associating with turmoil and perplexity.
Michael was a seven-year-old boy born on September 16, 2013. Standing at a height of 4 feet 2 inches and weighing 50 pounds, he had soft, golden-blond hair that was cropped short in a classic boyish style and bright blue eyes that often shone with curiosity. His Caucasian features gave him an almost angelic appearance, accentuated by the innocent radiance that only youth can bear. Today he wore a blue Avengers t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts, along with his favorite red sneakers.
Walking beside him was his mother, Emily, a youthful 25-year-old who had given birth to Michael at just 18. Emily was born on February 12, 1995. Standing at 5 feet 4 inches and weighing around 140 pounds, she had a slender yet strong build. Emily’s brown hair cascaded in soft waves to her shoulders, framing her face with its striking green eyes. She wore a simple white blouse and a pair of faded jeans, comfortable black flats on her feet.
The shelves of the grocery store were half-empty, a stark reminder of the desperate times caused by the zombie pandemic that ebbed and flowed between controlled chaos and utter pandemonium. People rushed through the aisles, their eyes fixed on the task at hand, trying to complete their shopping as quickly as possible.
“Stay close to me, Michael,” Emily said, her voice tinged with unease as she gripped a shopping cart filled with essentials.
A loud crash suddenly reverberated through the store, followed by blood-curdling screams. Emily’s heart skipped a beat as panic surged through the crowd—zombies had breached the store.
"Run, Michael! Stay right behind me!" Emily screamed, pushing the cart away, her motherly instinct taking full control.
Michael obediently followed his mom, but as they sprinted down an aisle, something unusual caught his gaze—a black woman in her early thirties, standing just ahead in their path. Her name was Natasha, born on May 23, 1987, originally from Houston, Texas. Natasha was 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds, with her hair styled in long, wavy locks that glistened in the dim light. Her eyes were a captivating shade of dark brown.
Natasha wore a skimpy outfit: a tight, black crop top that revealed her midriff, a rhinestone-studded mini-skirt, and skimpy gold sandals adorned with sparkling sequins. Her long fingernails were painted a vivid cherry red, matching her bold lipstick. A small black purse hung from her shoulder, containing an iPhone, a compact mirror, lipstick, a wallet filled with credit cards and cash, and a set of keys. Dangling from her ears were large gold hoop earrings, a delicate gold chain graced her neck, an intricately designed bracelet adorned her wrist, rings sparkled on three of her fingers, and an anklet shimmered on her right ankle.
Natasha eyed Michael uneasily but then suddenly reached out with a mischievous glint in her eye. "Wouldn't it be fun to switch bodies, little man?" she said sassily, as if addressing the universe rather than Michael directly.
Michael attempted to dodge her grasp, but her hand closed around his arm. He felt a dizzying rush, his vision going black.
When he opened his eyes, Michael realized he now towered over his previous self. He looked down to see dark skin and found himself wearing Natasha's skimpy outfit and sandals. His painted nails, glistening in bright red, horrified him. A strange purse rested on his shoulder, heavy with unfamiliar contents.
The sound of zombies growing nearer forced him to move. He struggled in the sandals, tripping and losing balance until he finally gained a safe distance. Panting, he examined his new body in confusion and fear.
Finding a mirror, he stared at his reflection—a black woman with thick, full lips and long, wavy locks. "My lips," he mumbled, trying to flatten them to resemble his natural thin ones, only to give up in frustration. He ran his fingers through his new hair, attempting to make it appear less feminine, but the natural waves persisted.
Michael fiddled with Natasha's large hoop earrings, trying to remove them by pulling at the latch, but they were firmly secured. Next, he tried the dainty gold chain around his neck, his fingers fumbling with the tiny clasp but failing. The bracelet on his wrist resisted his efforts—it was secured with a tight clasp. His new rings wouldn't budge, seemingly sized perfectly for the new fingers he now had. Finally, the anklet on his leg mocked him, impossible to remove without tools.
Desperation setting in, he tugged at the black crop top, trying to make it less revealing by pulling it down, but it snapped back into place. The rhinestone-studded mini-skirt did the same when he tried to lengthen it. His skimpy gold sandals hurt his feet, the long nails making it hard to untie the straps.
He even tried to scrape off the nail polish from both fingers and toes, but it stayed. "Ah, what da hell is dis?!" he found himself saying in a sassy tone, horrified at his new, unexpected vocabulary.
"Mommy!" he called out, but the word came out differently. "Mommy, where are you?! Ni--" He stopped, hearing the forbidden word slip past lips that didn’t seem to be his own.
Michael was lost in a whirlwind of confusion and fear, running through a world that was falling apart, now in a body that wasn't his own.
