Title: A Shift in Reality - Lieutenant Zack to Zoe
Zack was naught but twenty-two, a freshly minted second lieutenant. The young man, fresh out of college and filled with patriotism, had just been deployed for the first time. He had prepared himself for many changes in his life, but nothing could have braced him for the sudden shift in reality that was about to take place.
In the blink of an eye, under the brutal desert sun, Zack's reality shapeshifted. He felt unexplainable discomfort, a strange unease running through every fiber of his being. As though cold fingertips were crawling up his chest, he felt an ephemeral transformation occur. The dog tags he wore proudly around his neck now dangled, cold against his newly formed breasts, displaying a name he did not recognize - Zoey.
His once form-fitting military fatigues were replaced by a subtler uniform typically worn by the women in the company. Her fatigues rested against the new, softer curves of her body. A standard military bun replaced the short, cropped hair he once sported. In the reflective surface of her metallic canteen, she saw her own unfamiliar face staring back - a longer, softer jawline, full lips, and a pair of piercing eyes that held both confusion and a hint of fear.
A swell of disbelief enveloped Zoe as she reached for her wallet. It revealed the shocking truth. Drivers license, military service card, even her own social media accounts, all depicted Zoey. It marked her as female, a history of her as Zoey and not Zack displayed across the timelines she had once believed was her own. Even her comrades only remembered Zoey, recounting memories and experiences she hadn't lived, assigning her pronouns she didn't recognize.
The world shifted again, a mental transformation that began to blur the lines of her past. Zack became whittled away, and replaced with the echoing clarity of her new identity, Zoe. Each time he tried to announce himself as Zack, he was met with the name Zoe rolling of his now softer tongue.
Her brain recoiled, grappling with this new reality. He tried to resist the change in him—the way he moved, spoke, and acted—subtler, softer, more feminine. But the more she fought, the more it pushed back. There was no masculity left to cling onto, there was only the all-encompassing feminity that she was forced to inhabit.
Alongside her gender, Zoe's sexuality shifted like a hidden chameleon within her. As she stood amongst the men in her unit, her heart fluttered, her stomach filled with a peculiar fluttering that she had never experienced around women. She tried to fight back the new fluttering sensation, but the new strength of her emotions rendered her helpless.
Feeling overwhelmed, she sought refuge within herself. Each time she attempted to claw back control, reality forced her to recede further into this new role. And her resistance diminished. An odd form of acceptance began to take root within her.
She was Zoey, a change she could no longer deny.
