Before the Great Shift I had been a pretty fit guy. I kind of took it for granted, I guess. Even after swapping into a woman’s body, I didn’t think things were going to be much different. Yet when I was walking home one day after work, he came after me.
I didn’t know if he was after my purse or my body, but I immediately started flailing about. What would’ve probably looked like a decent punch and a kick if I was still in my original body felt like an awkward burst of uncoordinated stupidity.
Fortunately, whatever I did, it worked. The guy ran away, and both my purse and I were safe. But I think that moment changed me more than the actual Shift did. The Great Shift may have put me into the body of a woman, but it was in that moment when I truly started to feel what that meant for me and my life.
