48. Stephanie’s eyes are an intense, icy gray.
49. Stephanie is white, with an angular, demanding presence.
50. Today, she’s wearing a delicate, ruffled white blouse.
51. The blouse is made of airy chiffon, gathered elegantly at the cuffs and collar, with subtle vertical embroidery.
52. The buttons are pearl-like, glinting softly in the sunlight streaming through the kitchen window.
53. The blouse’s hem is slightly ruffled, ending just above her waist, cinched with a slim, silvery belt.
54. She pairs this with tailored navy-blue shorts.
55. The shorts are pressed flat, ending mid-thigh, featuring gold-studded pockets and a tiny, embroidered daisy on the left leg.
56. On her feet are striking platform sandals.
57. The sandals have thick, braided jute soles, elevating her almost four inches taller.
58. The straps are black patent leather, crisscrossing over her foot and around her ankle with a golden buckle.
59. Each sandal is topped with a cluster of faux gems—blue, white, and gold—that sparkle as she moves.
60. On her feet, her polished toenails peek out, painted a matching navy-blue.
61. Stephanie wears five pieces of jewelry, each carefully selected.
62. 1: Her wedding ring—a white-gold band with a modest princess-cut diamond.
63. 2: A chunky, square-faced silver wristwatch with a blue mother-of-pearl dial.
64. 3: Ornate gold drop earrings set with tiny sapphires, dangling just below her earlobes.
65. 4: A delicate, twisted gold chain necklace resting just above the blouse’s collar.
66. 5: A bold cocktail ring on her right hand, strewn with blue glass stones shaped like flower petals.
67. Stephanie is a classic “Karen,” frequently finding something to complain about.
68. “Why do they always put the recycling bins so far from the curb? I have half a mind to call the city council,” she mutters.
69. She also grumbles, “This soap never lathers! I swear I buy the most expensive brand, it’s still awful.”
70. Today, Stephanie is particularly agitated about smudges on her stovetop.
71. Suddenly, Ethan’s mom calls Ethan from the kitchen.
72. “Ethan! Come here, we need to go pick up your prescription before the pharmacy closes.”
73. Ethan groans, but nods, grabbing his jacket.
74. Stephanie grabs her beige leather purse from the counter.
75. She slides her oversized black sunglasses out of their case and tucks them onto the collar of her blouse.
76. “Oliver, stay here. We’ll be right back!” she snaps.
77. The front door closes behind them, leaving Oliver alone.
78. Oliver looks around the empty kitchen.
79. On the counter are the ingredients Stephanie was working with.
80. There is a bowl of pale yellow cake batter with flecks of vanilla bean.
81. A carton of brown eggs sits open, with one egg cracked.
82. A bag of flour is rolled tightly at the end and dusted with flour prints.
83. There is vanilla extract in a squat bottle with a gold cap.
84. Next to it, a blue canister of cinnamon and a clear jar of crystallized ginger.
85. There’s also a small bottle of artificial lemon flavoring and a stick of unsalted butter on a plate.
86. A package of chocolate chips, slightly torn, is near the edge.
87. Oliver sniffs cautiously—he smells sugar, spice, and a hint of tang from the lemon.
88. He inches forward, tempted to touch the chocolate chips.
89. Instead, his curiosity gets the better of him, and he pads through the house.
90. He glances at the sunlit living room, the TV turned off, and a fuzzy gray couch with scattered throw pillows.
91. He peeks into the hallway, creaky floorboards under every step.
92. Oliver wanders into Ethan’s room—rumpled bedspread, game controllers sprawled by the TV.
93. Then, seeing no one watching, Oliver tiptoes into Stephanie’s room.
94. The room smells like perfume and clean laundry.
95. There are fuzzy slippers by the bed and two large dressers, both glossy white.
96. Oliver’s socks slip on the hardwood floor.
97. He stumbles, trips, and his shoes slide off.
98. As he falls, his socks snag on a corner rug and slip off too.
99. With a yelp, his bare feet slam right into Stephanie’s platform sandals.
100. He hadn’t meant to slip them on, but now his toes are pressed oddly into the patent leather straps.
101. “Uh-oh,” he mutters, trying to pull them off, but they don’t budge.
102. The straps seem to tighten around his feet.
103. Suddenly, Oliver feels a strange tingling.
104. He tries to kick off the sandals, but his feet only prickle further.
105. He watches in horror as his feet begin to change.
106. 1: The skin on his heels toughens, smoothing and losing any trace of childhood pudge.
107. 2: His toes lengthen, nails sharpening, then flattening into an oval, growing and forming navy polish.
108. 3: The arch of his foot rises, tendons becoming more defined.
109. 4: Fine lines appear across his soles, making them seem aged.
110. 5: The bones within his feet subtly shift, elongating.
111. 6: His pinkie toe seems to vanish, the others readjusting to more mature shapes.
112. 7: Faint veins swell and recede on the tops of his feet.
113. 8: A light dusting of blonde hair vanishes from his toes.
114. 9: Tanned skin evens out to a paler, more mature tone.
115. 10: His heels grow narrower, his instep increasing.
116. 11: Cracks form at the balls of his feet, as if from years of pressure.
117. 12: The pads of his feet flatten, smoothing and thinning.
118. 13: The ankle bones jut out more, becoming sharp and elegant.
119. 14: Every freckle and bruise on his feet fade away.
120. 15: The overall size of his feet increases substantially—now filling Stephanie’s sandals perfectly, even as his feet ache.
121. Oliver gasps, staring at his feet in shock.
122. In front of him on the dresser is a silver-framed photo.
123. In the photo, Stephanie smiles next to her husband.
124. He is tall, dark-haired, wearing an olive polo and khakis, arm wrapped around Stephanie’s waist.
125. Stephanie is wearing today’s exact outfit—white ruffled blouse, navy shorts, platform sandals, and her five pieces of jewelry.
126. They are both holding hands, wedding rings clearly visible.
127. Oliver chokes: “I don’t want to be my friend’s mommy! I don’t want to kiss her husband!”
128. Breathing hard, he spots another photo on the dresser.
129. This one is of Stephanie’s mother—Ethan’s grandma, whose name tag reads “Margaret Parker.”
130. Margaret is lounging on a poolside chair, wearing a cherry-red sun dress, thick black sunglasses, and laughing as she sips an iced tea.
131. Margaret’s hair, in the photo, is silver-blonde and pulled into a tight bun.
132. Oliver’s elbow knocks both photos off the dresser.
133. They hit the ground with a clatter, frames shuddering apart.
134. Panicking, Oliver yanks at the bed covers, loosening and tangling them as he tries to stand.
135. He limps out of the bedroom, sandals clacking awkwardly.
136. He crashes into the kitchen counter, knocking over the bowl of batter.
137. Cinnamon flips onto the floor. A stick of butter skids across the tile.
138. “Noooooooooooo! My feet look so gross and girly! Help, please!” Oliver cries desperately.
139. His legs begin to ache and snap as the cracking intensifies.
140. 1: Shins lengthen, bones creaking beneath the skin.
141. 2: Knees become pronounced, soft baby fat vanishing.
142. 3: Calves swell gently, the muscles smoothing out.
143. 4: His thighs fill out, taking on a woman’s curve.

151. 12: The bones grow denser; joints pop.

153. 14: His shorts shift, fabric tightening and reshaping to match the navy tailored shorts in the photo.
154. 15: The length and fit become perfect for Stephanie’s form, complete with the embroidered daisy.
155. Now, his torso tightens painfully.
156. 1: Ribs expand outward; his back arches with a crack.
157. 2: Shoulders shrink in and narrow.
158. 3: Baby fat vanishes from his waist.
159. 4: His bellybutton shifts upward.
160. 5: Skin pulls taut, losing any trace of baby smoothness.
161. 6: Collarbones become visible now.
162. 7: His chest pushes out, almost as if being drawn forward by invisible hands.
163. 8: Breasts blossom on his chest, filling the blouse above the ruffled hem.
164. 9: A silver belt materializes, cinching an hourglass waist.
165. 10: Ribs compress with a final, sharp pain.
166. 11: Shoulders become more delicate, bones reconfiguring.
167. 12: A white, airy blouse appears, cinched at the waist and embroidered vertically.
168. 13: The blouse’s cuffs squeeze lightly at his now-slender wrists.
169. 14: Subtle curves develop along the sides, unmistakably feminine.
170. 15: The ruffles at his collar flutter as he breathes rapidly, chest heaving.
171. Next, his arms and hands begin to rapidly change.
172. 1: Arms elongate, thinning.
173. 2: Baby fat ebbs away, replaced by toned muscle.
174. 3: Wrists grow delicate and dainty.
175. 4: Elbows become bonier.

178. 7: His hands themselves thin out, fingers growing longer.
179. 8: Knuckles shift, rings forming at one.
180. 9: Fingernails grow, rounding and then are painted navy blue to match Stephanie.
181. 10: Palms lose creases, skin tightening.
182. 11: Muscles at the base of his thumbs become more prominent.
183. 12: Lower arms narrow, veins receding.
184. 13: Jewelry appears on his wrists and fingers.
185. 14: The skin tone evens out, becoming fair.
186. 15: In mere seconds, his arms and hands match Stephanie’s graceful limbs exactly.
187. “I look so girly! Don’t want to be my friend’s mommy, she’s so old and mean! He’s grounded, he’s not allowed to have games,” Oliver yelps, voice rising in pitch.
188. Then, his head and hair and face begin warping rapidly.
189. 1: His jaw cracks and narrows, becoming pointed.
190. 2: His chin sharpens, losing all roundness.
191. 3: Cheeks hollow out, then fill with subtle definition.

211. 23: Neck elongates, a gold chain forming just below her throat.
212. 24: Smile falls flat, replaced by a permanent look of annoyance.
213. 25: Her face is now undeniably Stephanie Parker’s.
214. One by one, the five pieces of jewelry finish appearing on her.
215. 1. The wedding ring encircles her finger, cool and slightly tight.
216. 2. The square-faced wristwatch gleams on her left wrist.
217. 3. The sapphire earrings tug gently at her earlobes.
218. 4. The twisted gold chain necklace settles around her neck.
219. 5. The bold cocktail ring appears at her right hand’s middle finger.
220. Stephanie’s purse materializes over her shoulder—a beige, woven leather bag with gold accents.
221. Her sunglasses form and hang from the neckline of her blouse.
222. Oliver’s voice catches in his throat, shifting tone, age, cadence.
223. “Ethan! I said no more chocolate chips before dinner!—” The sound is all wrong—it's Stephanie’s shrill, hurried voice.
224. She immediately clasps her mouth in fear.
225. Her hands shaking, she feels her memories fluttering.
226. The grocery list she needed to write down flickers into her mind, as do complaints about the neighbors.
227. She yanks each piece of jewelry off, throwing them onto the kitchen counter with a series of angry clinks.
228. She stomps again, finally freeing her aching feet from the platform sandals.
229. The purse is dropped on the counter, followed by the oversized sunglasses.
230. Her panic rises to a shrill, unfamiliar pitch:
231. “What is happening?! What am I? I need to... I need Ethan—No! Please! I can’t—This isn’t my house! Someone help! My feet! My body! I’m not supposed to be old and cranky and... I don’t want to be a mom! I want to go home!”
232. She sprints to Ethan’s room, clutching her head.
233. She scoops up a brightly colored controller, hands trembling.
234. The console hums quietly at first, the startup screen crawling at an agonizing pace.
235. Stephanie—no—Oliver—sits cautiously just as a gust of wind swirls under the shorts, nearly chilling her legs.
236. “Come on, come on, hurry up... I have to play before I forget everything... video games, you play them with... Mario, racing, shooting, portal, you jump, you win—” she mutters, desperation mounting.
237. But already, the buttons and icons seem odd.
238. She gives herself 90 seconds—surely at least that, before everything is gone.
239. 90.
240. She clicks “Start,” unfamiliar with the menu.
241. 89.
242. Her posture subtly shifts, knees pressed together, one foot tucked under the chair, sitting perfectly straight in her shorts and blouse.
243. 88.
244. Her shoulders slouch just a little, as if expecting a burden.
245. 87.
246. The knowledge of where the power button is begins slipping away—what was its shape again?
247. 83.
248. She fights the rising urge to cross her arms and tap her foot, annoyed at the machine’s slowness.
249. 80.
250. Thoughts of getting dinner ready push into her head—did she defrost chicken? No! "I don’t cook! I love video games!”
251. 75.
252. Her nails drum lightly on the joystick, annoyed.
253. 65.
254. She grinds her teeth, muttering about the “lazy developers.”
255. 55.
256. “Do dishes later, check on Ethan, fix the couch pillows, schedule that hair appointment—No! I... what was I doing? Playing... playing what?”
257. 35 seconds.
258. Her knees angle together, foot kicks idly, glancing at imagined crumbs.
259. 20.
260. She feels more entitled, like any inconvenience is an outrage meant specifically for her.
261. 10.
262. The TV flickers, logo spinning.
263. 3.
264. 2.
265. 1.
266. The game screen appears—just barely too late.
267. Her mind finishes shifting—Stephanie Parker, the only Stephanie Parker, mother to Ethan, is sitting there annoyed with a bright controller in her hand and no idea why.
268. “What is this thing? Ethan better not have left this clutter in here again! Ugh!” she says acidly, dropping the controller with disgust.
269. She glances at her jewelry and platform sandals left in the kitchen and strides back, slipping them on without a second thought.
270. She straightens her blouse, adjusts her necklace, and glares at the mess of ingredients still on the kitchen counter, muttering, “Can’t anyone clean up after themselves in this house?”
271. She cleans Ethan’s room, smoothing blankets, tossing out candy wrappers, and grumbling about “lazy kids.”
272. She returns to the kitchen, slides her sunglasses up onto her head, purse over her shoulder.
273. She stands near the window, arms crossed, patience fraying, lips pressed tight.
274. She waits for her husband and Ethan to return, muttering a litany of small complaints—the sticky counter, the streaky windows—and prepares her sharpest “mom look.”
275. In her mind, there’s no trace of Oliver—all memories are Stephanie’s.
276. She doesn’t realize that she’s now the only Stephanie Parker, permanent mother, wife, entitled complainer, and so thoroughly herself that no one thinks otherwise, not even her freshly invented family when they walk through the door.

The blouse’s hem is slightly ruffled, ending just above her waist, cinched with a slim, silvery belt. 54. She pairs this with tailored navy-blue shorts. 55. The shorts are pressed flat, ending mid-thigh, featuring gold-studded pockets and a tiny, embroidered daisy on the left leg. 56. On her feet are striking platform sandals. 57. The sandals have thick, braided jute soles, elevating her almost four inches taller. 58. The straps are black patent leather, crisscrossing over her foot and around her ankle with a golden buckle. 59. Each sandal is topped with a cluster of faux gems—blue, white, and gold—that sparkle as she moves. 60. On her feet, her polished toenails peek out, painted a matching navy-blue. 61. Stephanie wears five pieces of jewelry, each carefully selected. 62. 1: Her wedding ring—a white-gold band with a modest princess-cut diamond. 63. 2: A chunky, square-faced silver wristwatch with a blue mother-of-pearl dial. 64. 3: Ornate gold drop earrings set with tiny sapphires, dangling just below her earlobes. 65. 4: A delicate, twisted gold chain necklace resting just above the blouse’s collar. 66. 5: A bold cocktail ring on her right hand, strewn with blue glass stones shaped like flower petals. 67. Stephanie is a classic “Karen,” frequently finding something to complain about. 68. “Why do they always put the recycling bins so far from the curb? I have half a mind to call the city council,” she mutters. 69. She also grumbles, “This soap never lathers! I swear I buy the most expensive brand, it’s still awful.” 70. Today, Stephanie is particularly agitated about smudges on her stovetop. 71. Suddenly, Ethan’s mom calls Ethan from the kitchen. 72. “Ethan! Come here, we need to go pick up your prescription before the pharmacy closes.” 73. Ethan groans, but nods, grabbing his jacket. 74. Stephanie grabs her beige leather purse from the counter. 75. She slides her oversized black sunglasses out of their case and tucks them onto the collar of her blouse. 76. “Oliver, stay here. We’ll be right back!” she snaps. 77. The front door closes behind them, leaving Oliver alone. 78. Oliver looks around the empty kitchen. 79. On the counter are the ingredients Stephanie was working with. 80. There is a bowl of pale yellow cake batter with flecks of vanilla bean. 81. A carton of brown eggs sits open, with one egg cracked. 82. A bag of flour is rolled tightly at the end and dusted with flour prints. 83. There is vanilla extract in a squat bottle with a gold cap. 84. Next to it, a blue canister of cinnamon and a clear jar of crystallized ginger. 85. There’s also a small bottle of artificial lemon flavoring and a stick of unsalted butter on a plate. 86. A package of chocolate chips, slightly torn, is near the edge. 87. Oliver sniffs cautiously—he smells sugar, spice, and a hint of tang from the lemon. 88. He inches forward, tempted to touch the chocolate chips. 89. Instead, his curiosity gets the better of him, and he pads through the house. 90. He glances at the sunlit living room, the TV turned off, and a fuzzy gray couch with scattered throw pillows. 91. He peeks into the hallway, creaky floorboards under every step. 92. Oliver wanders into Ethan’s room—rumpled bedspread, game controllers sprawled by the TV. 93. Then, seeing no one watching, Oliver tiptoes into Stephanie’s room. 94. The room smells like perfume and clean laundry. 95. There are fuzzy slippers by the bed and two large dressers, both glossy white. 96. Oliver’s socks slip on the hardwood floor. 97. He stumbles, trips, and his shoes slide off. 98. As he falls, his socks snag on a corner rug and slip off too. 99. With a yelp, his bare feet slam right into Stephanie’s platform sandals. 100. He hadn’t meant to slip them on, but now his toes are pressed oddly into the patent leather straps. 101. “Uh-oh,” he mutters, trying to pull them off, but they don’t budge. 102. The straps seem to tighten around his feet. 103. Suddenly, Oliver feels a strange tingling. 104. He tries to kick off the sandals, but his feet only prickle further. 105. He watches in horror as his feet begin to change. 106. 1: The skin on his heels toughens, smoothing and losing any trace of childhood pudge. 107. 2: His toes lengthen, nails sharpening, then flattening into an oval, growing and forming navy polish. 108. 3: The arch of his foot rises, tendons becoming more defined. 109. 4: Fine lines appear across his soles, making them seem aged. 110. 5: The bones within his feet subtly shift, elongating. 111. 6: His pinkie toe seems to vanish, the others readjusting to more mature shapes. 112. 7: Faint veins swell and recede on the tops of his feet. 113. 8: A light dusting of blonde hair vanishes from his toes. 114. 9: Tanned skin evens out to a paler, more mature tone. 115. 10: His heels grow narrower, his instep increasing. 116. 11: Cracks form at the balls of his feet, as if from years of pressure. 117. 12: The pads of his feet flatten, smoothing and thinning. 118. 13: The ankle bones jut out more, becoming sharp and elegant. 119. 14: Every freckle and bruise on his feet fade away. 120. 15: The overall size of his feet increases substantially—now filling Stephanie’s sandals perfectly, even as his feet ache. 121. Oliver gasps, staring at his feet in shock. 122. In front of him on the dresser is a silver-framed photo. 123. In the photo, Stephanie smiles next to her husband. 124. He is tall, dark-haired, wearing an olive polo and khakis, arm wrapped around Stephanie’s waist. 125. Stephanie is wearing today’s exact outfit—white ruffled blouse, navy shorts, platform sandals, and her five pieces of jewelry. 126. They are both holding hands, wedding rings clearly visible. 127. Oliver chokes: “I don’t want to be my friend’s mommy! I don’t want to kiss her husband!” 128. Breathing hard, he spots another photo on the dresser. 129. This one is of Stephanie’s mother—Ethan’s grandma, whose name tag reads “Margaret Parker.” 130. Margaret is lounging on a poolside chair, wearing a cherry-red sun dress, thick black sunglasses, and laughing as she sips an iced tea. 131. Margaret’s hair, in the photo, is silver-blonde and pulled into a tight bun. 132. Oliver’s elbow knocks both photos off the dresser. 133. They hit the ground with a clatter, frames shuddering apart. 134. Panicking, Oliver yanks at the bed covers, loosening and tangling them as he tries to stand. 135. He limps out of the bedroom, sandals clacking awkwardly. 136. He crashes into the kitchen counter, knocking over the bowl of batter. 137. Cinnamon flips onto the floor. A stick of butter skids across the tile. 138. “Noooooooooooo! My feet look so gross and girly! Help, please!” Oliver cries desperately. 139. His legs begin to ache and snap as the cracking intensifies. 140. 1: Shins lengthen, bones creaking beneath the skin. 141. 2: Knees become pronounced, soft baby fat vanishing. 142. 3: Calves swell gently, the muscles smoothing out. 143. 4: His thighs fill out, taking on a woman’s curve. 144. 5: Pale hair dissipates, leaving skin silky. 145. 6: Faint blue veins appear behind his knees. 146. 7: Freckles and scrapes fade away, replaced by elegant smoothness. 147. 8: The knees redden as if from years of standing. 148. 9: The skin becomes slightly dry, knobby. 149. 10: The thighs extend to match an adult woman’s proportion. 150. 11: Hips subtly flare outward. 151. 12: The bones grow denser; joints pop. 152. 13: Babyish knobby knees straighten and harden. 153. 14: His shorts shift, fabric tightening and reshaping to match the navy tailored shorts in the photo. 154. 15: The length and fit become perfect for Stephanie’s form, complete with the embroidered daisy. 155. Now, his torso tightens painfully. 156. 1: Ribs expand outward; his back arches with a crack. 157. 2: Shoulders shrink in and narrow. 158. 3: Baby fat vanishes from his waist. 159. 4: His bellybutton shifts upward. 160. 5: Skin pulls taut, losing any trace of baby smoothness. 161. 6: Collarbones become visible now. 162. 7: His chest pushes out, almost as if being drawn forward by invisible hands. 163. 8: Breasts blossom on his chest, filling the blouse above the ruffled hem. 164. 9: A silver belt materializes, cinching an hourglass waist. 165. 10: Ribs compress with a final, sharp pain. 166. 11: Shoulders become more delicate, bones reconfiguring. 167. 12: A white, airy blouse appears, cinched at the waist and embroidered vertically. 168. 13: The blouse’s cuffs squeeze lightly at his now-slender wrists. 169. 14: Subtle curves develop along the sides, unmistakably feminine. 170. 15: The ruffles at his collar flutter as he breathes rapidly, chest heaving. 171. Next, his arms and hands begin to rapidly change. 172. 1: Arms elongate, thinning. 173. 2: Baby fat ebbs away, replaced by toned muscle. 174. 3: Wrists grow delicate and dainty. 175. 4: Elbows become bonier. 176. 5: The fine hairs fade and disappear. 177. 6: Skin grows drier, veins lightly visible. 178. 7: His hands themselves thin out, fingers growing longer. 179. 8: Knuckles shift, rings forming at one. 180. 9: Fingernails grow, rounding and then are painted navy blue to match Stephanie. 181. 10: Palms lose creases, skin tightening. 182. 11: Muscles at the base of his thumbs become more prominent. 183. 12: Lower arms narrow, veins receding. 184. 13: Jewelry appears on his wrists and fingers. 185. 14: The skin tone evens out, becoming fair. 186. 15: In mere seconds, his arms and hands match Stephanie’s graceful limbs exactly. 187. “I look so girly! Don’t want to be my friend’s mommy, she’s so old and mean! He’s grounded, he’s not allowed to have games,” Oliver yelps, voice rising in pitch. 188. Then, his head and hair and face begin warping rapidly. 189. 1: His jaw cracks and narrows, becoming pointed. 190. 2: His chin sharpens, losing all roundness. 191. 3: Cheeks hollow out, then fill with subtle definition. 192. 4: Freckles fade away, skin tone shifting to a pale, smooth complexion. 193. 5: Eyebrows thin and arch dramatically. 194. 6: Babyish nose narrows and rises to a delicate, straight bridge. 195. 7: Nostrils pinch inward, adult-sized now. 196. 8: Lips swell and curve downward. 197. 9: Cupid's bow grows prominent. 198. 10: Teeth reshape, gaps closing, growing whiter. 199. 11: Eyes widen, irises turning a piercing, icy gray. 200. 12: Eyelashes become long and dark. 201. 13: Crow's feet faintly appear at the corners. 202. 14: Cheekbones elevate and sharpen. 203. 15: Ears lengthen, earlobes showing tiny holes for earrings. 204. 16: Earrings appear, gold and sapphire drops at each ear. 205. 17: Hair color lightens to a pure, salon-perfect blonde. 206. 18: Hair shortens, falling into a perfect bob, curling inward and with side bangs grazing her eyes. 207. 19: Part shimmers across the right, splitting her bangs. 208. 20: Lines appear near her lips, signs of years spent frowning. 209. 21: The blues and whites of her blouse reflect softly in her irises. 210. 22: Eyelids sink gently, traces of makeup appearing. 211. 23: Neck elongates, a gold chain forming just below her throat. 212. 24: Smile falls flat, replaced by a permanent look of annoyance. 213. 25: Her face is now undeniably Stephanie Parker’s. 214. One by one, the five pieces of jewelry finish appearing on her. 215. 1. The wedding ring encircles her finger, cool and slightly tight. 216. 2. The square-faced wristwatch gleams on her left wrist. 217. 3. The sapphire earrings tug gently at her earlobes. 218. 4. The twisted gold chain necklace settles around her neck. 219. 5. The bold cocktail ring appears at her right hand’s middle finger. 220. Stephanie’s purse materializes over her shoulder—a beige, woven leather bag with gold accents. 221. Her sunglasses form and hang from the neckline of her blouse. 222. Oliver’s voice catches in his throat, shifting tone, age, cadence. 223. “Ethan! I said no more chocolate chips before dinner!—” The sound is all wrong—it's Stephanie’s shrill, hurried voice. 224. She immediately clasps her mouth in fear. 225. Her hands shaking, she feels her memories fluttering. 226. The grocery list she needed to write down flickers into her mind, as do complaints about the neighbors. 227. She yanks each piece of jewelry off, throwing them onto the kitchen counter with a series of angry clinks. 228. She stomps again, finally freeing her aching feet from the platform sandals. 229. The purse is dropped on the counter, followed by the oversized sunglasses. 230. Her panic rises to a shrill, unfamiliar pitch: 231. “What is happening?! What am I? I need to... I need Ethan—No! Please! I can’t—This isn’t my house! Someone help! My feet! My body! I’m not supposed to be old and cranky and... I don’t want to be a mom! I want to go home!” 232. She sprints to Ethan’s room, clutching her head. 233. She scoops up a brightly colored controller, hands trembling. 234. The console hums quietly at first, the startup screen crawling at an agonizing pace. 235. Stephanie—no—Oliver—sits cautiously just as a gust of wind swirls under the shorts, nearly chilling her legs. 236. “Come on, come on, hurry up... I have to play before I forget everything... video games, you play them with... Mario, racing, shooting, portal, you jump, you win—” she mutters, desperation mounting. 237. But already, the buttons and icons seem odd. 238. She gives herself 90 seconds—surely at least that, before everything is gone. 239. 90. 240. She clicks “Start,” unfamiliar with the menu. 241. 89. 242. Her posture subtly shifts, knees pressed together, one foot tucked under the chair, sitting perfectly straight in her shorts and blouse. 243. 88. 244. Her shoulders slouch just a little, as if expecting a burden. 245. 87. 246. The knowledge of where the power button is begins slipping away—what was its shape again? 247. 83. 248. She fights the rising urge to cross her arms and tap her foot, annoyed at the machine’s slowness. 249. 80. 250. Thoughts of getting dinner ready push into her head—did she defrost chicken? No! "I don’t cook! I love video games!” 251. 75. 252. Her nails drum lightly on the joystick, annoyed. 253. 65. 254. She grinds her teeth, muttering about the “lazy developers.” 255. 55. 256. “Do dishes later, check on Ethan, fix the couch pillows, schedule that hair appointment—No! I... what was I doing? Playing... playing what?” 257. 35 seconds. 258. Her knees angle together, foot kicks idly, glancing at imagined crumbs. 259. 20. 260. She feels more entitled, like any inconvenience is an outrage meant specifically for her. 261. 10. 262. The TV flickers, logo spinning. 263. 3. 264. 2. 265. 1. 266. The game screen appears—just barely too late. 267. Her mind finishes shifting—Stephanie Parker, the only Stephanie Parker, mother to Ethan, is sitting there annoyed with a bright controller in her hand and no idea why. 268. “What is this thing? Ethan better not have left this clutter in here again! Ugh!” she says acidly, dropping the controller with disgust. 269. She glances at her jewelry and platform sandals left in the kitchen and strides back, slipping them on without a second thought. 270. She straightens her blouse, adjusts her necklace, and glares at the mess of ingredients still on the kitchen counter, muttering, “Can’t anyone clean up after themselves in this house?” 271. She cleans Ethan’s room, smoothing blankets, tossing out candy wrappers, and grumbling about “lazy kids.” 272. She returns to the kitchen, slides her sunglasses up onto her head, purse over her shoulder. 273. She stands near the window, arms crossed, patience fraying, lips pressed tight. 274. She waits for her husband and Ethan to return, muttering a litany of small complaints—the sticky counter, the streaky windows—and prepares her sharpest “mom look.” 275. In her mind, there’s no trace of Oliver—all memories are Stephanie’s. 276. She doesn’t realize that she’s now the only Stephanie Parker, permanent mother, wife, entitled complainer, and so thoroughly herself that no one thinks otherwise, not even her freshly invented family when they walk through the door. --- **End.**
