0 Points
0
In the heart of 2020, amidst a global zombie pandemic that ebbed and flowed unpredictably, seven-year-old Michael found his life turned upside down. Michael was an energetic young boy born on April 12, 2013. Standing at 3 feet 9 inches and weighing 50 pounds, he had sandy blonde hair cut in a bowl style and striking blue eyes that shimmered like the ocean. His Caucasian skin was fair, a genetic gift from his mother, Emily. Today, Michael wore a playful blue superhero T-shirt and matching shorts, with well-worn sneakers that hinted at his adventuresome spirit.
Emily, his young mother, was 28 years old and a pillar of strength despite the frequent zombie scares. Born on May 20, 1992, she stood tall at 5 feet 7 inches, her athletic build weighing around 130 pounds. Her long, chestnut brown hair flowed in soft waves down her back, framing her emerald green eyes that sparkled with determination. Dressed in practical jeans and a casual blouse under a light jacket, she was the epitome of a modern survivor.
On this chaotic afternoon, Emily and Michael entered the bustling grocery store, their goal to gather essential supplies. The store was filled with frazzled shoppers grabbing items hastily, a mix of regulars and occasional customers hoping the outbreak wouldn't compromise their supply chain.
Suddenly, the calm was shattered by the telltale groans and wails of nearby zombies. Panic spread like wildfire as the store's rear doors burst open, zombies flooding in. Emily grabbed Michael's hand, her voice urgent, "Michael, stay close! Run!"
Michael's heart pounded as he ran, his small legs struggling to keep up with his mom's longer strides. As he darted around a corner, he noticed a tall black woman standing in the aisle. She was strikingā30 years old, born on August 15, 1990, standing at 5 feet 8 inches with a curvaceous build weighing around 150 pounds. Her thick, curly black hair cascaded down, and her dark brown eyes were sharp. Her outfit, a skimpy two-piece neon pink attire, hugged her body, paired with knee-high gladiator sandals adorned with intricate silver buckles. Her nails were vividly painted electric blue, glistening under the store's fluorescent lights. Draped over her shoulder was a small designer purse, inside a compact, pepper spray, keys, and a lipstick.
Sparkling with adornments, she wore five distinct pieces of jewelry: a large, gold hoop earring in her right ear, a silver bracelet with embedded gemstones, a delicate anklet shimmering on her ankle, a chunky, glittering choker, and an elegant ring on her left index finger.
As Michael ran past, she looked down at herself, then sassily remarked, "Oh honey, if I could switch bodies with you, things would be different." Before he could react, Michael felt her hand grasp his wrist.
An overwhelming dizziness overtook him, and his vision faded to black. When he opened his eyes, the world seemed distorted. Everything felt enormous, and he quickly realized he was now much taller. Looking down, he gasped, seeing darker skin, the neon pink outfit, and glistening blue nails.
Dragging the purseās thin strap over his shoulder, he felt the urge to vomit. But the urgent threat of zombies kept him moving, stumbling in the unfamiliar sandals, trying to maintain balance. Flight or fight instincts firing, he finally got far enough away to catch his breath.
In a hidden section of the store, he found a full-length mirror. The reflection stunned him: thick, feminine lips, a completely foreign face with wide eyes, high cheeks, and smooth, contouring brows. He nervously touched his new lips, trying to squish them smaller, then gave up in frustration. He pulled and messed with his curly hair, attempting to de-feminize the style, yet it sprung back obstinately.
Next, Michael turned his attention to the jewelry, starting with the large hoop earring. He twisted, tugged, but found the clasp impossibly tight. The silver bracelet on his wrist stood out, tangled around thick veins. He pulled, only for the gemstones to dig deeper into his skin, refusing to budge. The anklet jingled mockingly as he tried prying it off, the snap mechanism frustratingly simple yet unyielding. The choker around his neck felt suffocating; despite loosening the clasp, it seemed to shrink tighter. Lastly, the ring on his finger refused to slide off, perfectly snug.
Desperately, Michael began fiddling with the neon pink top. He yanked and pulled, but stretchy fabric clung stubbornly to his now ample chest. The matching skirt was no better; the waistband clamped securely around his hips. Even the sandals seemed impossible to shed, their straps intricately buckled and intertwined. He scratched at his painted nails, only for the polish to remain pristine.
When he tried speaking, his new voice betrayed him entirely. "Where's my m-mommy?" he cried out, only to hear, "Gurl, where yo momma?" Words slurred in a sassy tone. In desperation, he stumbled upon forbidden words, "Nig-", pausing before the offensive expletive spilled out entirely.
Confusion and fear gripped Michael. Staring back at the mirror, the exotic reflection that wasn't him embodied all the terror and helplessness that the pandemic had brought to their world.
