**Title: The Transformation of Frank West: A Tale of Lost Identity** In the bustling town of Willamette, where the streets teemed with the undead and chaos reigned supreme, a once renowned photojourn

Frank West is a well-known war photojournalist, known for his courage and unyielding spirit in the 2006 game, Dead Rising. His unique style is iconic, dressed in a carefully worn news reporter's attire of a commercial white dress shirt, slightly worn at the edges. Over this, he wore a forest green sleeveless safety vest, dotted with pockets flaunting a row of slightly rusted metallic press buttons. His black dress pants accentuated his tall, athletic build while the edges of his leather belt carried the weight of multiple tools of his trade. His short hair, swept back, highlighted the seriousness in his gaze, only softened by the rugged stubble adorning his cheeks and chin. Isabela Keyes, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. A well-respected scientist and known for her part in the dramatic events of the game. She is often dressed in a caramel colored cropped jacket that revealed a splash of her white top underneath. The jacket was outlined with a dark brown stripe along its edge, adding a slight casualness to her otherwise formal look. Her tight-fitting khaki pants, accented by a dark leather belt, hug her slender figure, ending in a pair of rugged, brown boots that show signs of an adventurous spirit. Isabela's hair is cut in a stylish bob, falling around her face in soft waves. Isabela decides to use her scientific knowledge to devise a plan to keep Frank at bay. Using a reconstructed sample of her DNA, she creates a serum that can alter the genetic code of another, causing them to morph into a perfect replica of the DNA donor. With Frank being an impediment in her plan, she chooses him as the test subject. She lures him into a supposed safe house, and injects him with the serum without his knowledge. Frank notices the changes gradually, his tight dress pants feel slightly looser, his shirt hangs on his now smaller frame, his haircut feels lighter, and his view of the world starts to lower as he begins to shrink in stature. Frank realizes something is wrong as he checks his reflection in a nearby water source. His rugged face softens and starts taking the features of Isabela. He abrupt pulls at his top, revealing the white shirt underneath, identical to Isabela’s. His hands subconsciously travel downwards, brushing past his bare legs, now accommodating the khaki pants. His feet find their way into Isabela’s brown boots that surprisingly fit. A handful of hair shows him the bob cut and his eyes squeeze shut in disbelief as he comprehends what has happened. Frank tries to resist the transformation, clinging desperately to his strength, his skills, his identity but all prove futile. The serum was too powerful. It doesn't just alter his appearance; it begins to take his strength, his abilities. He struggles at shooting a gun, his aim no accuracy as it used to. He looks at himself in a failed attempt to find a fragment of Frank West. Distress fills him as he ultimately accepts the truth about his new reality, becoming a clone of Isabela. His masculine features are no more, replaced by Isabela's slighter build and soft features. Tears well up in his eyes as he realizes the change has become permanent. Frank West is no more, only Isabela's reflection stares back at him in the still water. The air holds its breath in the silence, as the once unstoppable Frank West faces his greatest challenge yet - living in Isabela Keyes' shoes.
