Title: Shifting Reflections
0 Points

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.
