Living Life As A Female

Ready for your story? Here it goes: Once upon a time, in a small neighborhood, a 7-year-old boy named Joseph ventured out to the local park alone for the first time. He was a curious and adventurous boy, fascinated by the world that seemed to be expanding exponentially. He was showing the first signs of autonomy and was excited to play in the park all by himself. While he was engaged in his solo adventure, he noticed a woman approaching him. She looked ragged but still managed to present herself in a bizarrely stylish way. She was wearing a ripped tank top, short shorts, a pair of wedges, and her straight brown hair was cut to the neck. Joseph noticed that although she looked tired, her fierce spirit was visible in her attire and her sparkling eyes. "Hey hon, I don't normally bother little kids, but do you have a spare quarter on you?" She asked. Her voice was as rough as sandpaper, yet it had a comforting, motherly touch. Joseph innocently looked up to her, shaking his head and murmuring a sorry. "It's okay sweetheart, I understand. Hey how about a hug?" She requested, her voice softening. Without hesitation, Joseph, innocent and unafraid, opened his arms and allowed the hug. During the embrace, noticed a sudden surge of dizziness and quickly closed his eyes. Upon opening them, he was shocked to see that he was now much taller, and to his astonishment, he was wearing the woman's clothes. Joseph looked down and tried to comprehend what had just transpired. "Whoa! I'm so big now but I think this is the nice lady's body," he said, in a voice as smooth as a woman's. He quickly discarded the wedge shoes, finding them too cumbersome, and ran over to his previous body which was now occupied by the woman. Innocently pointing at his own body, Joseph claimed, "Hi, I think I'm supposed to be in that body". Laughing at the absurdity of the situation, the woman, who was known as Colene, but often called 'Cotton Candy' in the neighborhood, said, "Sorry hon, you didn't have a quarter on you and I'm sick of being scared, homeless, and alone. Enjoy the life though. I'll be erasing your memories". With a swift snap of her fingers, Joseph's world spun. The dizzying feeling returned, this time fiercer as memories jumbled, matured, and rearranged till all he knew was himself as Cotton Candy, forgetting his previous life as Joseph. Nursing her throbbing head, the newly embodied Cotton Candy muttered, "Ow! My head. Oh God. Where did this headache come from? I'll need to find a place to rest my head. I hate being homeless" Glancing around, she noticed her purse on the ground and her wedges discarded not far. "Why did I take off my wedges? Why am I barefoot? And why did I take off my purse? I'm losing my mind. Being homeless is really making me scatter-brained. I'll need a new shirt too. This one has a hole. I really should've made better decisions when I was younger," she lamented. With that, she gathered her belongings, slipped on her wedges and throwing her purse over her shoulder before striding out of the park, hoping to find a place to rest for the night. Meanwhile, within Joseph's body, the original Cotton Candy sighed with contentment. She had regained her youth and escaped the horrifying fate of homelessness. The new Cotton Candy, unaware of her previous life as Joseph, lived the rest of her days believing she had always been Cotton Candy. And thus, they continued their switched lives, with the secret of their supernatural swap buried deep within the park's vicinity.
