After the Great Shift, I was in much better shape than most. I was among those that hadn’t shifted into a different body, though my life was thrown into chaos for other reasons. (I did break up with my girlfriend, who ended up in the body of a 50 year old man.) But I thought it would still be helpful to help any of my friends who could use my support in this absolutely weird time.
After a few back and forth with some emails, we had all agreed to meet up at a cafe to talk. I was the second to arrive. A woman at one of the tables was waving at me; she must’ve been one of my friends. (It was also at this moment I realized I was going to the only person everyone recognized.)
At first, I thought this must’ve been Maggie. She was always wild and outgoing, but she never wore such eccentric clothes. I was shocked when she revealed herself as Jason.
Jason had always been so quiet and shy, completely unassuming. But in his new body, he was certainly wearing an outfit that screamed “pay attention to me,” and he seemed more comfortable conversing than I could ever remember. He explained that he had never felt comfortable in his own skin until the Great Shift placed him into the body of a woman. Suddenly, it all made sense for him. He didn’t feel like had to be so reserved anymore. He didn’t feel the constant need to hide, and he had loved exploring wild and fun fashion! It made me wonder how my other friends were adapting; I guess I would soon find out!
