In the heart of the war-torn territory, a young 2nd lieutenant walks tentatively, navigating the complex terrain as if he is stepping on a freshly placed mine. His heart beats loud under the newly commissioned badges, vivid against the raw canvas of his military fatigues. His blue eyes, ice-cold and determined, reflect the struggle of adulthood, demanded abruptly from a life barely out of college. Then, the reality, perceived and concrete, begins to quake beneath his firm, yet naive stand.
A strange lurch in his gut, the feeling of being inside a plummeting elevator, and reality itself distorts into something unrecognizable. The man's consciousness swims as the world twists and contorts. The sinews of his muscles slacken, his anguished grimace smoothing into softer, untouched lines, his body decomposes and recomposes into a foreign sculpture. His dog tags, once etched with a male title, now display a distinctly feminine name.
The military fatigue kit hanging off his broad shoulders warps. The stiff fabric molds and shrinks to fit a new contour, a design that bespeaks the strength of a woman wearing it. The buttoned shirt tightens across newly formed breasts, the pants grip onto a thin, curved waist, and his boots see smaller, yet equally dauntless feet sliding into them. Her hair, once cropped short, cascades down, twisting into a standard military bun secured at the base of her neck.
Her mind struggles to comprehend, to deny, yet with each passing second, the new identity becomes more ingrained. She reaches into her pocket to pull out her military service card, her driver's license, hoping for a semblance of the man she remembers. To her dreadful astonishment, they both have the name, 'Laura', printed under female gender. Panic shimmers through her veins as she pulls out her cellphone, catching her reflection in the blackened screen. Her social media profiles, a testament to a life she doesn't recall living, all show a confident military woman.
The former 2nd lieutenant tries to voice his protest, but only her voice, silkier and softer, tells her reality. His colleagues, platoon, even the enemy knew her only as 'Laura', a skilled military woman with a demeanor which many admired. The embodiment of her old self retreats deeper within her psyche, fading as a distant sound.
Her stern exterior crumbles under the pressure of denying her own existence. She feels her former sexual preferences overhaul simultaneously, her eyes feast on the handsome men in her unit, an attraction she tries to quench but can't. Strong arms, rough stubbled faces, musky aftershave - they attract her cupidity, a desire she grapples with in silence.
She begins to fight against the shift forcing her to walk in heels over boots, compelling her to carry herself with a feminine grace, to act in a way she's not used to. She battles against the subtle gesture of crossing her legs or the gentler tone her voice takes on. Her struggle perpetuates, but each time, she fails.
Over time, Laura begins to perceive the metamorphosis as a test, not a punishment. Her strength, her determination, her skills as an officer, they remain the same. Even though her body has taken a different form, she isn't weak or less capable. The circumstances adjust, her male identity fades away, but the strong spirit remains, embracing the change gradually, as the new, stronger Lieutenant Laura.
