Title: Strands of Reality
Chapter One: The Mirror's toll
"I'm not who I remember, but I can't stop being who I am now."
That's the first thought that passes through Officer Jordan Cassidy's mind as she gazes at her reflection in the patrol car's mirror. Her once callused hands, hardened by military training and used to gripping the coarse gun handle, are now slender and adorned with subtle nail polish. The hands that once knew how to deftly tie a military-grade knot now reflexively twist her newly grown, sandy blonde hair into a precise and well-practised bun.
She had shot up from her sleep that morning, short of breath and disoriented, her last memory being of a bloody rifle brawl in the Middle East. Her name tag promptly indicated "Corporal Jake Carter", and yet, here she was. Vivid reality declared she was no longer Carter but Cassidy, a devoted police officer in her small hometown.
As she fumbles for the seatbelt across her filled-out uniform blouse, Cassidy is disturbed by the profound change. She is no longer the towering figure she once was; her once 6'2'' towering frame diminished to a more petite 5'7''. Her uniform is tailored exactly as it was in the male reality, no unnecessary feminized alterations like a skirt or obligatory make-up. The differences are subtle yet noticeable - the blouse replaced her previous manly shirt, hugging her newly formed curves. Her pressed uniform pants sit just below her natural waistline, modification her male counterpart didn't need.
In the change from male to female, Cassidy's mindset, preferences, and mannerisms seem altered as well. Initially, she tries to sit with manly abandon, but her body inexplicably prefers crosses her legs in a prim, ladylike manner. Her manner of speech is undeniably softer, her choice of words more compassionate than she remembers them to be.
Cassidy discovers that buttons of her uniform become exciting objects to twirl around her fingers when she is nervous. And she is nervous greatly these past days, twirling ceaselessly, and at the same time, unexplainably brushing stray locks of hair from her now clear, porcelain face; a subtle, feminine habit she used to poke fun at when observed in her female peers.
Chapter Two: A Change of Course
A confession lingers on the tip of her tongue: her sexual orientation now skews towards men. A concept that was alien, even humorous to her as Carter now formed the base of Cassidy's reality. This shift in her orientation sets Cassidy on a path of desperate struggles. Despite her memories of budding infatuations with enticingly beautiful female counterparts, Cassidy fails to feel a flicker of familiarity in her attraction towards women. Her attempts to prove otherwise only end in vain and is met with an increased attraction towards men, something she tries hard to resist.
Cassidy's chaotic attempts to reclaim her masculinity, however, only affirm her newfound femininity. It's like she'd always been Cassidy – a woman. She catches herself humming to familiar tunes even her body seemed to accept and react intuitively, further blurring the line between her past reality and her present one. Lines she traced on maps of warfronts are now replaced by flawlessly tracing her skin with lady-like precision while applying make-up.
Cassidy's war is no longer on the battlefield; it's within herself, with her present fighting her past with equal fervour. As she confronts this new reality, Cassidy can't help but marvel at the similarities between men and women in their core job duties but the stark contrast in their primal instincts and societal expectations laid upon them. This was a new reality, a new Cassidy, not chosen but thrust upon her, morphing the world around her in an incomprehensible way. Whether to accept herself and adapt to this new reality or to continue to fight against her new identity, Cassidy was yet to decide, and only time would reveal the path she'd tread.
