Title: The Fractured Mirror
Samantha – that’s what they called her – didn't recall when that name came to be. The military-issued I.D had her name, rank, and service number inscribed meticulously, the photo picturing a woman of 22 clothed in a female officer's uniform. It was unnerving, because the memory of her being once a man was still vivid. She was at the height of confusion with reality twisting around her, and it was surprisingly hard to recall the name she possessed just a few moments ago.
Now, Samantha was one of the female officers. Her uniform reflected the change – a navy-blue blouse, fitted at the waist and zipped up the front, paired with matching slacks and sturdy black shoes. A bulletproof vest hugged her new feminine form, even as a utility belt, loaded with the tools of her trade - handcuffs, radio, and pistol - sat on her hips. It mirrored the ones her male counterparts had except that it was shaped curiously to accommodate her slender body. It was not like this before – she was sure of it.
Stepping into her patrol car, she looked up at the rear-view mirror. Her face was softer now, eyes more round and lips less rough. Auburn locks replaced her short hair, and her height had shrunk. With a shiver, she tied her long hair into a standard bun, a practice instinctual as breathing. The effortless grace of her action frightened her. She scanned her face again, unnerved by how the slight changes radiated into the face of a woman.
Her every move, the way she spoke, even her mannerisms, were now in keeping with a woman. Gone was her broad posture, replaced by a restraint that had her sitting up straight, knees together no matter how she tried to break the pattern. With a chill running down her spine, she realized that she'd started brushing her hair behind her ear and playing with it when nervous – a habit absent during her days as a male officer.
The shift in her reality did not stop there. Samantha found herself feeling an unfamiliar pull towards men. She wrestled with this new attraction, trying to recall what it was about women she’d once found appealing. As she grappled with her newly turned sexuality, desperation set in, a frantic thrashing against the waves of her changed psyche, each crest more overbearing than the last. In vain, she tormented herself, trying to remember the face of attraction.
Samantha was caught in the limbo of a shattered identity, teetering between the past she remembered and the present she was forced to accept. The line between reality and false memory blurred as she began another patrol shift, driving down familiar lanes under an unfamiliar guise—part of a new world, yet a stranger within herself.
