Response: Title: The Transformed Lieutenant Lieutenant First Class Alicia Denvers awoke with the early dawn, a faint echo of incredulity shadowing her thoughts. She pat her sides, her hands tenderly tracing the feminine curves that her masculine body was unaccustomed to. Her fingers traced the intricate lace paneling of a bra, holding round globes she was unfamiliar with. Having always woken up in cotton briefs, she was momentarily shell-shocked to find herself cloaked in satin panties. Still in disbelief, she stood up, her body suddenly feeling heavier, different from the muscular physique she used to have. Her sleep-swathed eyes gradually remember things about her body she would never think they would. She had a silhouette that was graced with an hourglass figure, full hips, a slender waist, and large breasts. It was as though she was a stranger looking at her appearance for the first time. Despite the strange circumstances, Alicia felt an unusual sense of comfort in her new body; her form now feminine and remarkably different from the sinewy, muscular shape she was accustomed to. Although she warred against the facts of her newfound femininity, it was impossible to resist. Her hands shaking, Alicia opened her closet, her militant nature battling the sweeping wave of change. She was a military officer and she was trained to act and not falter, even in the strangest of circumstances. Every item was altered to accommodate her drastic physical transformation. The neatly pressed and starched uniforms were now tailored to fit the contours of her new frame. Her combat boots were more slender; even the military fatigues were redesigned, more reminiscent of the ones female soldiers wore. Suddenly, she became acutely aware of the distinct embodiment of womanhood that she now possessed; her elongated legs, the soft swell of her breasts, and the adorned curves provided a sense of unsettling peculiarity. And while she strove to remember the name that used to identify her as a man, it was as elusive as phantom memories fading in a dawn’s fog. Alicia found that even her memories were adjusting to this new reality. Every memory of being a man, of the youthful camaraderie she had experienced in the barrack with fellow soldiers, of the stern voice of her officer, was seamlessly rewritten as though she had been a woman from the very beginning. All her memories — personal, professional, and otherwise — now painted her existence as that of a woman. Even more profound was the change in her sexuality, which despite her resistance, had adjusted itself. The once bold officer found herself staring in the mirror with a flushed face after catching her reflection. Mysteriously, sexual attraction to men had replaced her former desire for women. This startling realisation was another punch that shattered the final vestige of her previous male identity. Throughout her journey of self-discovery, however, there remained one constant: Alicia. It perplexed her how she still felt as much Alicia — if not more — as she had the night before. Despite her initially adamant resistance, she wondered if perhaps, with time, she could accept this new mould, this new reality, and perhaps even embrace it. After all, she was still a soldier; only the scenery had changed.
