Zack was just a boy out of college, fresh-faced and newly commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the military. But something was off. A peculiar, almost mystical phenomenon was beginning to take place. Beginning with a feeling of subtle discomfort, an inexplicable unease brewing within him; a profound shift was stirring.
Reality began to warp and twist uncontrollably. Like a sudden gust of wind upending a calm sea, an enormous yet imperceptible wave washed over him, forcing Zack's perception of self to begin its inevitable change.
His masculine physique started to transform, Eraclia's delicate brush began to paint the outlines of a feminine body over his. A bust replaced the muscular chest, his features softened like water over stone, the coursing mane of short hair growing flowing, reaching shoulder-length, tied neatly in a military standard bun.
His fatigues, usually loose and suited for a man, were restructuring themselves around the new contours of his, now her, body. The dog tags around his neck flickered, now reflecting the glimmer of a new name, a new identity - that of a woman named Zoey. For a brief moment, the confusion seemed audible in the deafening silence of the reality shift. Everything around Zoey was adapting to the transformation - everything but her memories.
Fumbling with the identities swirling around in her head, Zoey tried to clutch at the threads of her past life, only to find them slipping through her fingers. Her driver’s license, military service card, every proof of her identity, even her social media profiles, echoed this new reality. A reality where Zoey had always been a woman.
Her memories, too, were beginning to dissolve and refract like a mirror shattering into pieces, each reflection morphing into a new fragment of a new life. The name Zack began to feel like an echo, getting fainter with each passing moment. Her own voice now resonated not with the masculine baritone she had grown up with, but with a feminine timbre that felt intriguing yet familiar.
In this shifting paradigm, her sexuality too pivoted. As Zack, he had been attracted to women, but now, as Zoey, she felt an emotional magnetism towards men. This internal battle of acceptance was as debilitating as it was overwhelming. As Zoey tried to resist, to cling to the remnants of Zack, she found herself being pulled deeper into a current of altering reality.
And slowly, Zoey began to accept her new identity. The resistance ebbed, replaced by memories that now belonged to her alone. Memories of her first period, of shopping for senior prom dresses, of warm laughter shared with her sorority sisters in college, of losing her virginity to her high school crush.
And yet, in the depths of her mind, lay the ghost of a memory - she was once Zack. Although the memory began to fade, like a photograph left in the sun for too long, it served as a reminder of the soul she once housed. Her journey was now layered, stitched with two lives, two genders, and two identities. All she knew was that she was Zoey, unimaginably so, yet drawn from the ashes of Zack.
