Title: "Metamorphosis of Lieutenant Harper"
0 Points
0
In his fresh disposition of authority, 22-year-old Second Lieutenant Jack Harper strode across the military base - his military base - a hub of efficiency, excitement, and a fair amount of trepidation. Fresh out of college, on his first deployment, he felt poised on the precipice of adulthood and responsibility. Yet, in just a few heartbeats, the world as he knew it drastically changed.
Reality warped. A flux in time and space, perceptible yet intangible, rippled around him, throwing him off his feet, leaving him panting and confused. And when he stood up, instead of the firm body he remembered, he was curvier, softer, his fatigues straining around a new, unfamiliar body.
The chestnut stubble on his head had been replaced by a waterfall of flowing tresses, pulled back in a tight, military-standard bun. The female dress greens and shoes he wore replaced his comfortably worn-in uniform while his chest was distinctly feminine. His hands flew to his chest, finding soft mounds where there would have been hard pectorals.
Jack staggered back, his heart pounding as he dashed to the nearest mirror, only to be confronted by a young woman's soft, astonished face, high cheek-bones, and a set of startling, wide-eyed jade orbs.
A sense of unreality gnawed at her. She fumbled in her pocket for her military service card. Now, it was Jacqueline Harper, 2nd Lieutenant, a photo of the same woman in the mirror stared back at her. Her gender - female. Her jaw dropped in disbelief as she found her entire identity had altered.
Confusion pervaded as she walked into the mess, the squall of raucous conversations washing over her. No one batted an eye. Not when she entered, not when she spoke. The slap of hands on her back echoed familiar greetings. But the terms had changed, from 'Jack' to 'Jackie. She attempted to rectify them in her voice that was softer, lilting, but the more she tried, the more she faltered. It was like a spell; she couldn't say the name 'Jack,' the words bouncing back unvocalized.
She struggled against this, against everything. She turned to one of her closest friends and blurted, "Dude, I don't feel like myself -" But even as she said that, she caught herself checking him out, drawn to the cut of his jaw, the ripple of muscles under his uniform. She blushed, her heart stuttered, and she turned away. She'd never seen her friends this way before.
Every gesture she made, every word she spoke was distinctly feminine. She was perplexed by how naturally it came to her as if she'd been conditioned over years when she'd only been a woman for a few hours. Whenever she tried acting like she used to, the bellowing laughter, the swagger, her body refused. It was uncanny, the way her body and mind seemed at variance.
Over time, Jackie found herself less preoccupied with resisting the change, less frantic in her efforts to 'correct' herself. It was a reluctant acceptance, an understanding that she was meant to adapt, not fight. Still, she would never stop missing Jack.
Faced with a reality that insisted she had always been a woman, bereft of anyone who could remember Jack, Jackie embraced her new normal. She was still herself, a core essence that had always been there, be it in Jack or Jackie. And she realized she wasn't giving up; she was evolving and adapting, a brilliant chameleon shifting colors against an ever-changing backdrop. Her journey had only just begun.
