"Military Metamorphosis: Finding Mattiline"
0 Points
0
Amidst the gravely-dirt dusted field where men marched and machines roared, Second Lieutenant Matthew felt the world around him warp. His hardened jaw and chiseled cheekbones blurred, morphing into softer, more feminine features. Matthew's heart pounded - fear and confusion warred within him. Blinking his now almond-shaped eyes, he clutched his dog tags, his fingers tracing the new embossed letters: âMattilineâ.
Glancing down, he - no, she - noticed her military uniform had adapted seamlessly. The fatigues now svelte, clinging to her redefined curves whilst accommodating her suddenly fuller chest. Her attire looked almost identical to her male uniform, yet subtly altered for female dimensions. The once comfortingly loose trousers tapered at her narrower waist, ballooned at her hips and thighs, and tightened once more at her calves. The shades of olive green and various patches remained unaltered. Strangely, she didnât feel out of place in her new form; instead, she feltâŚcomplete.
Mattiline brushed her hand through the locks of hair that now cascaded down her shoulders, instinctively gathering it into a low bun - standard military style. She glanced at her driver's license, her military service card - even her social media - to find the same striking woman looking back at her. Every document, every photo hitched her reality towards Mattiline. The 'female' box, unnervingly ticked on all her official records.
Her comrades came and went, their conversations were as casual as before - their memories of 'Matthew' buried in time's indifferent sands. Only âMattyâ prevailed, her feminine name echoing on their lips. The disorientation multiplied with every utterance of her new name, the masculine tethers of her identity unwinding into oblivion.
In this kaleidoscope of changing reality, she felt her preferences shifting too. She found her gaze unexplainably drawn to the men around her - their broad shoulders, the strength in their arms, the rugged stubble rimming their jaws. A pang of rebellion surged within her, but slowly began to ebb, surrendering to the undercurrent of acceptance.
Her once solid stance was now replaced with a supple resilience matching her new form. Her actions, speech, even the way she walked mirrored the subtle elegance of the many strong women around her. She tried to counter, replicate her old familiar macho aura, but found herself flowing naturally into this new female persona.
As irony would have it, Matty was trapped yet free, liberated within the confines of this new identity. She still was the Second Lieutenant, still part of the military, still part of the same world - only the perceived reality had shifted.
At the end of the day, under the unfathomable skies, she would crane her neck, her gaze meeting the stars. Matty knew this wasnât a choice she had made, this wasnât a path she willingly embarked on. Still, every night she would whisper her new name into the air, a countdown to self-acceptance, a powerful assertion of enduring within an imposed reality.
"Mattiline," she would say, and each time it would feel less strange, less foreign. "I am Matty, I am Mattiline." She held onto that hope tightly, grounding herself amid the swirling sands of shifting reality.
