The Transformation of Sarah: A Daughter Becomes Her Mother
0 Points
0
The sound of the final school bell echoed through the emptiness of the small suburban school. In classroom 106, a petite figure stood alone, her heart echoing the lonesome call that signified the end of the school day. Sarah, a bright, ten-year-old girl, looked down at the stark, failing grade marking her report card, a contrast to the myriad of completed assignments she had faithfully turned in all through the semester.
She could not comprehend how Mrs. Peterson, her bully of a teacher, could treat her with such unadulterated malice. Afraid of facing her mother Helen, who had been strict and stern with regards to her academic performance, Sarah carefully thought over everything she could do to avoid the inevitable confrontation.
At home, clad in her plain Cortina soccer hoodie and denim shorts, she ascended a small wooden stool strategically placed in front of her mother's closet. Lattice-like shelves towered above her, enclosing a secret world of her mom's perfumes, scarves, purses - artifacts of an adult world she dreads. She plucked a sleek, shiny pen from one of the shelves, hoping to pull off her little forgery act. But her movements were clumsy, and she unsteadied the stool, losing her balance.
In a whirl, Helen's purse plummeted down, while Sarah's feet landed in the most unlikely object - a pair of sandal heels, remnants of Helen's wedding day. The sensation was a shock, and the girl cried out, her voice shaking with fear and disbelief.
"Oh no! I don't wanna become mom! I just wanted to avoid my mom being angry at me for my stupid teacher hating me. I'm not girly! Get these shoes off! I hate nail polish!" Sarah yelled, feeling an unseen transformation crawl over her body, her clothes evaporating into nothingness, while her once childish frame morphed into that of Helen, complete with red toenail polish and curves accentuated with a blouse and skirt.
Her features correspondingly altered, with her face taking palpable form of her mother's. The short-lived panic augmented, as Sarah's memories began to infuse with Helen's, an unexpected transmutation only increasing her dread.
"No please! I don't wanna become my mom! That stupid teacher sucks, and I don't wanna become the same horrible parent as my mom," she exclaimed, visions of a future, where she mimicked her mother's stern, unyielding behavior, flashing before her, shattering her hopes of being a more understanding parent.
Sarah's call for mercy went greatly unheeded, her words swallowed by the silence of the empty room. She was Helen. She had always been Helen. Gazing down at the sandaled feet, she let out a hollow chuckle, reminiscing over a time when she had actually been a blushing bride.
"Oh my God! What the hell are you doing, Helen? Acting like you just got married?" she chided herself, oblivious about her changed appearance and identity.
The sight of the discarded purse and crumbled teacher's note stirred something within her. With an upsurged determination, new Helen strutted to the discarded paper, her aggression cemented firmly in her footfall. Picking up the note, she was met with disappointment, surprise, and deep annoyance as she processed the failing grade and a clumsy forgery attempt.
"An F for the semester, huh? An F? And I suppose this is supposed to be MY signature? Funny how I don't remember signing it. Good thing I have my daughter's teacher's phone number. I think she deserves a call from me personally so I can discuss my daughter's failing grade properly. I'm so disappointed in her right now. An F is simply unacceptable. I better let her father know about what our daughter decided to do. Wait, speaking of which, where's my wedding ring?"
Spotting the ring conveniently lying on the ground, she slipped it on her finger, all the while brewing in the frustration about Sarah's underperformance.
"Sarah! Young lady! You are grounded when I find you. Forging my signature? I expect your laptop and your phone in my bedroom by tonight or else I'll be one very angry mother!" She no longer recognized herself as anything but the disciplinary mother, completely unaware of the bizarre twist of fate that rendered her very daughter extinct.

Prompt: Prompt: A story about a 10 year old girl who gets bullied by a teacher who gives her a failing grade for the semester even though she did all the work. Afraid to face her mother 42 year old Helen, she contemplates everything she can do. Please have Helen have brown hair, brown eyes, a wedding ring, her nails be painted red and a blouse and a skirt. Please have the 10 year old carefully climb the shelves of her mother's closet as she grabs a pen to forge her mother's signature before she loses her balance causing her to somehow knock Helen's purse off the shelf over her shoulder and somehow lands her tiny feet in her mother's wedding sandals from her wedding. Please have the 10 year old freak out as she throws off the purse as her tiny feet crack and age into Helen's complete with her red toenail polish. Please have the 10 year old say the quote "Oh no! I don't wanna become mom! I just wanted to avoid my mom being angry at me for my stupid teacher hating me. I'm not girly! Get these shoes off! I hate nail polish!" as her clothes evaporated off her body. Please have her legs, arms and torso mature and morph into Helen's as her fingernails gained the same red polish and she gained Helen's boobs. Please have her face morph into Helen's as she gained her long shoulder length brown hair, her brown alluring eyes and her straight white teeth and her mother's voice. Please have her outfit start changing into a blouse and skirt and have her mom's wedding ring form on her finger before falling off her finger onto the ground. Please have her memories start changing freaking the girl out more. Please have Sarah say the whole quote "No please! I don't wanna become my mom! That stupid teacher sucks and I don't wanna become the same horrible parent as my mom" as she hoped she would be a more understanding Helen at least than her real mom was only to have her hopes destroyed as she saw visions of herself as Helen being just like her real mother always did. Eventually, she only remembered being Helen. The new Helen looked down at her wedding sandals on her feet and chuckled to herself. Please have Helen say the quote "Oh my God! What the hell are you doing Helen? Acting like you just got married?" she said tearing up a little bit at her past memories. The new Helen's eyes gazed over to her purse and the teacher's note on the floor. Please have Helen strut over confidently picking up her purse and throwing it over her shoulder and slamming her foot with the wedding sandal on it over the note aggressively before bending down and picking it up slowly becoming furious at her daughter. Please have Helen say the quote "An F for the semester huh? An F? And I suppose this is supposed to be MY signature? Funny how I don't remember signing it. Good thing I have my daughter's teacher's phone number. I think she deserves a call from me personally so I can discuss my daughter's failing grade properly. I'm so disappointed in her right now. An F is simply unacceptable. I better let her father know about what our daughter decided to do. Wait, speaking of which where's my wedding ring?" suddenly picking it up off the floor and putting it on her finger before returning her attention to her daughter she was angry with. Please have Helen say the quote "Sarah! Young lady! You are grounded when I find you. Forging my signature I expect your laptop and your phone in my bedroom by tonight or else I'll be one very angry mother!" wondering where she was not knowing she was the very daughter she was angry at and her daughter no longer existed.
