---

1. Once upon a sunny morning in late spring, a young boy named Mason Taylor had no idea his life would change in the most peculiar way.
2. Mason was a sweet, curious four-year-old, born on May 21, 2020.
3. At just 41 inches tall and weighing a healthy 38 pounds, Mason was an average-sized child for his age, with slightly chubby cheeks and limbs showing his fondness for peanut butter sandwiches.
4. His hair was a soft, feathery brown, trimmed neatly to just above his ears, with a side part that often fell in his clear blue eyes.
5. His huge, round eyes sparkled a light cerulean—sometimes shaded grey when he crinkled his brow in confusion or wonder.
6. Mason’s skin was fair, dotted with a few sun-freckles across his nose and cheeks.
7. His mother, Caroline Taylor, was in her mid-twenties—25 years young.
8. Caroline was born September 3, 1998, and always put everyone else first.
9. She stood 5'6" tall and weighed 134 pounds, her slender frame always radiating a gentle maternal nurturing.
10. Caroline’s chestnut brown hair fell in long, glossy, natural waves that framed her heart-shaped face.
11. Her eyes were a calm hazel, warm and earnest, lined with long lashes she never bothered to curl.
12. Mason and his mother lived together with Grandma Jean Taylor, a strong-willed, loving woman in her later fifties.
13. Grandmother Jean was born March 24, 1966.
14. At 5'3” and 149 pounds, she carried herself with a purposeful dignity, her stride always brisk.
15. Jean’s short silver hair had streaks of steel and lavender, worn in a pixie cut, suiting her lively personality.
16. Her eyes, pale green with flecks of gold, had a mischievous sparkle that made Mason grin even on gloomy days.
17. Early one Saturday, Caroline brought Mason to Sunnyside Market, a sprawling local supermarket.
18. The soft morning sunlight sprayed over the polished floor tiles as they entered, Mason swinging his sneakered feet joyfully in the shopping cart’s seat.
19. It was the first time Mason would remember going shopping—the bright rows of food packets, the hum of grown-up voices, and the beeping scanners.
20. Caroline smiled at Mason, “You’re such a big helper today, Mase.”
21. Mason grinned, gripping the plastic cart handle, mind wide open to store sights: mountains of apples, rivers of juice bottles, and the smell of fresh bread.
22. As they turned down the dairy aisle, Mason suddenly felt strange.
23. He looked down and gasped—his legs were see-through!
24. He could see his sneakers and the cart, then past them to the gray linoleum below.
25. Frantic, he tried to stand, feeling like a gust of wind, strangely weightless, slipping from reality—until he was standing, translucent, in the cart.
26. “Mommy!” he cried, his voice trembling and echoing.
27. “Mommy!” Mason shouted again, but no one seemed to hear.
28. His mother kept browsing the milks and yogurts, humming a tune, her face serene.
29. “Mommy, look!” he yelled, but his words fazed through the air without a ripple.
30. He felt tears prick at the corners of his invisible eyes.
31. Mason turned, wobbling, panic swelling in his chest—the world seemed suddenly bigger, and colder, and quieter.
32. As he shifted, his feet slipped between the bars, and he tumbled right through the cart’s floor.
33. He landed softly, his whole body tingling, halfway in and out of reality.
34. Dazed, Mason wandered around, waving frantically at his mother from the floor, but she didn’t even glance in his direction.
35. He ran to her side, tugging at her jeans, but his hand passed right through.
36. “Please,” he whispered, heart racing, “help me…”
37. At the same time, the store’s automatic doors whirred open and five British women entered, their laughter ringing through the room.
38. Their names were: Amelia Sinclair, Chloe Bradford, Sophie Mason, Isobel Clarke, and Harriet Fletcher.
39. Amelia, the group leader, was 41 years old, born July 11, 1982.
40. She stood a neat 5'8", weighed 139 pounds, and wore her long, honey-blonde hair in elegant, loose curls cascading down her back.
41. Her green eyes sparkled with humor, rimmed with dark eyeliner.
42. She wore a tight, shimmering silver mini dress with thin straps that hugged her slender frame, cut daringly high at the thigh.
43. Her five-inch silver stiletto sandals showed off her perfectly pedicured toes—three of them peeking from beneath the front band, nails painted icy blue.
44. Chloe, 39, was born March 26, 1985.
45. She stood 5’6” and weighed 132 pounds, with a tangle of jet-black hair swept up in a voluminous messy bun.
46. Chloe’s eyes were a deep brown, fringed with thick black lashes.
47. She wore a slinky, emerald-green slip dress with lace trim, open enough at the side to show her toned calves.
48. Her open-toed black leather heels had two bands, revealing the tops of all five toes, painted ruby red.
49. Sophie, 40 years old, born February 17, 1984, was petite at 5’3” and 122 pounds.
50. Her short, pixie-cut copper hair glinted in the light, and her wide blue eyes gave her a mischievous look.
51. She wore a floral print wrap dress, bold red and poppy-yellow blooms, cut to mid-thigh.
52. Her white platform sandals showed nearly her whole foot, with the arch high and the toes fanned prettily and bright pink soles.
53. Isobel, 38, was born December 5, 1985.
54. At 5’7” and 141 pounds, Isobel had wavy brown hair past her shoulders, parting in the middle, tumbling in soft waves.
55. Her hazel eyes were almond-shaped and rimmed with gold shadow.
56. She wore a powder-blue bodycon mini dress and open-toed navy suede heels—her pale toes peeking through, nails dazzle-glossed white.
57. Finally, Harriet was 40, born April 22, 1984.
58. She had straight, golden-blonde hair, left down to frame her face, and stood 5'10” and 145 pounds.
59. Harriet’s sharp cheekbones and gray eyes made her seem both severe and beautiful.
60. Her bright magenta ruched dress tied at the waist, open in the back, ending just above the knees.
61. She wore red patent leather sandals with a single narrow strap, showing nearly her whole foot, nails neon orange.
62. Each woman wore eye-catching jewelry and carried a distinct purse, each with its own contents:

63. The group clustered around a produce bin, giggling and chatting as Mason drifted near.
64. Overhearing them, Mason caught snippets of their conversation.

**Their Conversation (1–20):**
1. Amelia (to Chloe): “Did you see how dreadful the flight was? I simply cannot fly economy again.”
2. Chloe (to Amelia): “At least we’re here. And these American avocados are absolutely massive.”
3. Sophie (to Isobel): “I fancy a cheeky treat—have you seen their crisps aisle?”
4. Isobel (to Sophie): “Oh, we’re having a night in with Prosecco, aren’t we?”
5. Harriet (to Amelia): “How do Americans drink that filtered coffee? I need a flat white.”
6. Amelia (to Harriet): “Shall we nip out to Starbucks after all this?”
7. Chloe (to Sophie): “Your dress is wild! New?”
8. Sophie (to Chloe): “Zara sale! Can you believe, twenty quid? Steal.”
9. Isobel (to Harriet): “I still haven’t found that serum I’m addicted to. Should be in the beauty aisle.”
10. Harriet (to Amelia): “Careful, you’ll topple in those sandals.”
11. Amelia (to Harriet): “I walk like a queen. I’ll be fine.”
12. Chloe (to all): “Should we buy snacks now or after wine?”
13. Sophie (to Chloe): “Let’s split up: you lot drink run, I’ll beauty hunt.”
14. Isobel (to Sophie): “Do not buy another lipstick!”
15. Sophie (to Isobel): “Watch me, love.”
16. Harriet (to Chloe): “Pick a gin that isn’t American, please.”
17. Amelia (to herself): “Where’s my lip gloss? Ah—here.”
18. Chloe (to Sophie): “Don’t get lost, we need those crisps.”
19. Sophie (to all): “Seeya at the tills in five!”
20. Isobel (to Harriet): “She'll need us to rescue her from the gift sets.”

65. Sophie declared she would venture off alone to look at the beauty products, a feminine ritual she relished.
66. As she walked, Sophie admired her white platform sandals, wiggling her toes to show off her sparkly pink pedicure.
67. “Blimey, got my feet done just for the trip,” she muttered, amused, looking fondly down before heading to the nail polish section.
68. Mason, dazed and desperate to be seen, blundered right into Sophie’s path as she approached—he didn’t even register her coming until her sandal passed through his invisible form.
69. Her perfume wafted around him as she reached for a set of glittery lavender nail polishes.
70. Her fingers fumbled, and the bottles clattered—one pale violet tube fell directly through Mason’s incorporeal chest.
71. Sophie instinctively bent down, aiming to retrieve the nail polish, inadvertently aligning her crouch perfectly with Mason’s form.
72. At that instant, Mason’s senses flickered—the world spun, vision went black, and all sound died out.
73. He felt a strange pulling sensation, as though being drawn backward through himself, whirling into a smaller, denser space.
74. A rushing, silent void enveloped him—and then suddenly, everything snapped to a halt.
75. When Mason blinked, he found himself whole and no longer see-through—crouched low, staring straight ahead down the beauty products aisle.
76. His small fingers were now slender and elegant, painted pink at the tips—he was holding the lavender nail polish Sophie had dropped.
77. He felt dizzy, cold sweat breaking across his brow as he slowly looked down.
78. His legs were long and tanned, and his feet—tipped with dainty toes in white platform sandals—were no longer his own.
79. Trembling, Mason carefully stuck out a foot, staring at the grown-up shoe, the high arch, and the pink polish that was not his handiwork.
80. Gulping, he looked to the left at a mirrored panel.
81. The reflection that stared back was not Mason but Sophie—short copper hair, blue eyes, floral dress, jewelry catching the light.
82. “Oh—oh no, oh!” Mason choked, voice startlingly unfamiliar, both terrified and disgusted.
83. He shook his head from side to side, copper hair swishing in a style he’d never worn before.
84. His hands flew to his new cheeks and mouth, feeling the smooth skin and odd earrings.
85. Everything felt so wrong—so big, so strange.
86. He looked at his fingers, then his arms, and then back to the mirror, repeating, “No, no, no...”
87. Meanwhile, Sophie’s friends noticed her absence and speculated what might help her mood.
88. Amelia suggested, “Let’s cheer her up, wine from the grocery delivery?”
89. Chloe scrunched her nose, “Or a quick run to the liquor store…?”
90. Isobel countered, “Should we just take her out—they say there’s a bar next door.”
91. Harriet, always practical, replied, “She’ll relax best with a drink out, don’t you think, girls?”
92. They debated back and forth, pondering even a spa session or mani-pedis, but in the end decided a night out at the bar was best.
93. The four women swept up “Sophie” (who was actually Mason, still stunned and silent), talking about cocktails and plans, missing entirely the dread behind her blue eyes.
94. To “Sophie,” the idea of drinking alcohol was about as appealing as spinach on pizza, but he didn’t say a word.
95. Through a haze, Mason let them lead him through the rest of the night, the club music merging with anxious thoughts of home.
96. Hours later, the women arrived back at their enormous Airbnb—a tastefully decorated five-bedroom mansion with marble counters, a giant kitchen, and plush throw blankets.
97. Mason (as Sophie) excused himself and found the bathroom, clicking the lock and bracing himself against the counter.
98. A huge, ornately-framed mirror filled the wall behind the basin.
99. Mason forced himself to look at the reflection—starting from Sophie’s copper hair, the silver earrings, the blushing cheeks, past the little green dress down to the perfectly smooth, shapely legs, and white platform sandals.
100. For the first time, he noticed a tiny freckle on the ankle, a mismatch to his own child’s knees he half remembered.
101. His breath caught, chest tight and heavy, as tears welled in his big blue eyes.
102. “I miss Grandma so much,” he whispered, voice tiny, lost even to himself.
103. Tears spilled down, leaving faint tracks of mascara on Sophie’s cheeks.
104. Eventually, sleep overtook him, and he made his way to the pretty pink guest bedroom alone
