2. He was very young, only 7 years old.
3. His birthday was July 22, 2017.
4. He was born in 2017 in the town of Marrowood, a leafy neighborhood in upstate New York.
5. Oliver was 3 feet 11 inches tall, barely scraping the yardstick standing next to his mother.
6. He weighed 43 pounds, with the limbs and round cheeks of early childhood.
7. Oliver had straight, chestnut brown hair, in a slightly messy bowl cut his mother trimmed herself.
8. His eyes were a soft, inquisitive blue, always darting from one interesting thing to the next.
9. He was white, with a pale pink complexion that freckled easily in the sun.
10. Oliver’s mom was named Jessica Kirkpatrick, or Jessie for short.
11. Jessica was young herself, only 25 years old.
12. Her birthday was March 16, 1999.
13. She’d been a single parent since the age of 18.
14. Jessica stood at 5 feet 6 inches tall.
15. She weighed 134 pounds, carrying herself with an energetic, youthful air.
16. Her long, wavy blonde hair often tumbled over her shoulders in loose curls.
17. Her eyes were hazel, flecked with green that brightened when she smiled.
18. Oliver’s grandmother was Amanda Kirkpatrick.
19. Despite being a grandma, Amanda was a young woman at 43 years old.
20. Her birthday was October 2, 1980.
21. She was 5 feet 7 inches tall with a stately presence.
22. Her weight was 149 pounds, solid yet graceful as she moved around the kitchen.
23. Amanda’s hair was dyed a rich auburn and cut into a sleek bob.
24. Her eyes were a stormy gray, often giving the impression that she was always on the verge of laughter.
25. They had come to visit Oliver’s great-uncle, Lawrence “Larry” Kirkpatrick.
26. Larry was truly old—a living legend at 78 years of age.
27. He was born on March 1, 1946.
28. Larry stood at 6 feet even, his height slightly stooped with age.
29. He weighed 181 pounds, thinned out and wiry with age.
30. Larry’s hair was sparse, snowy-white, and combed straight back over a blotched scalp, exposing a prominent widow’s peak.
31. Larry’s wife, Oliver’s great-aunt, was named Veronica Kirkpatrick.
32. Veronica was 43, forty-five years Larry’s junior.
33. Her birthday was April 27, 1981.
34. She was 5 feet 4 inches, petite and yet striking in posture.
35. Veronica weighed 128 pounds, her figure curvaceous and attention-grabbing.
36. She had raven-black hair, pin-straight and falling to her waist, often parted in the middle for a dramatic look.
37. Her eyes were an icy blue, almost silvery in the right light.
38. The occasion that night was their twelfth wedding anniversary—a tradition with dinner at the most expensive steakhouse in town.
39. Veronica was preparing in their upstairs bedroom, slipping into a scandalously skintight short dress.
40. The dress was a metallic navy, clinging to her curves like liquid.
41. The top was a sleeveless scoop neck, cut daringly low at the bust, showcasing her pale shoulders and a silver chain tattoo.
42. The hem ended scandalously mid-thigh, hugging her hips and riding up as she moved, emphatically exposing her toned legs.
43. A thin ribbon belt encircled her waist, knotted to the side with a glittery accent.
44. The dress shimmered when she crossed her legs, the fabric stretching and relaxing with each step.
45. On her feet, Veronica wore a pair of platform wedge sandals.
46. The sandals had a sky-high 4-inch cork heel, the platform sole a warm honey color varnished to a high gloss.
47. Embedded in the cork were tiny flecks of gold, glinting slyly in the light.
48. The upper straps were matte black leather—two crossing over her toes, one over her arch, and a final strap suspending at her ankle with a tiny golden buckle.
49. The soles were lined with plush white suede, imprinting her high-arched feet with every step.
**50. Veronica's fingernails and toenails were painted with glossy French tips:**
51. The base was a translucent blush pink.
52. The tips a harsh, glittering white, curved into a delicate crescent.
53. Each nail sparkled under the lamp, cut to a perfect almond.
54. A tiny rhinestone sparkled on the ring finger of each hand.
**55. Veronica’s 5 pieces of jewelry:**
56. 1. A thick, gold choker with a dangling sapphire centerpiece, tightly fastened around her pale neck.
57. 2. Large, heavy silver hoop earrings, nearly brushing her shoulders.
58. 3. A chunky, diamond-studded bracelet on her right wrist, glinting whenever she moved her hands.
59. 4. An intricate platinum cocktail ring shaped like a serpent, scaled in emeralds, coiled around her left index finger.
60. 5. A wide, diamond-encrusted wedding band, dazzlingly set on her left ring finger.
**61. Veronica’s purse was enormous, a designer faux-crocodile satchel:**
62. The bag was glossy black, soft but structured, with golden hardware gleaming on each thick handle.
63. The lining was hot pink suede, a splash of color visible when the bag gaped open.
64. Inside: a small makeup pouch (containing foundation, blush, mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick), two wallets (one for cash, one full of credit cards), a little zippered coin purse, her phone, a bundle of receipts, chewing gum, a hairbrush, a compact mirror, tissues, her keys, perfume, and a folded shopping list.
65. Veronica was sitting at her dressing table, facing a magnified mirror.
66. She swept a thick line of bold red lipstick across her lips, carefully outlining her mouth for maximum drama.
67. As she finished, she rummaged in her purse and fished out a wad of bills—counting, and then scowling fiercely.
68. Stomping her platform wedge on the hardwood, she exclaimed, “ONLY six hundred dollars?! Are you KIDDING me? That is basically nothing! What can I get, macaroni and cheese?! UGH!”
69. She tossed the money back in her purse, slammed the lipstick shut, and shrieked a curse, launching a tantrum while thrashing her hands.
70. Finally, Larry called up the stairs, “Veronica, are you ready?”
71. Veronica grabbed her purse and jewelry, ushered Larry out the door, and clicked off down the walk to their car, their voices echoing through the empty house.
72. Jessica and Amanda stepped out for coffee together, leaving Oliver behind inside, momentarily forgotten in the confusion.
73. Oliver wandered into the kitchen, peering hungrily at what his great aunt had left out.
74. On the counter: a family-size bag of barbecue chips, half-eaten Skittles, two cans of cherry cola, and a bowl of peanut butter cups.
75. Also, Veronica's phone lay abandoned under a pile of glossies and nail files.
76. Oliver, bored and curious, picked up the phone to swipe a game, but glanced at the open messages.
77. He squinted at the recent chat log—dozens of texts and hearts—between Aunt Veronica and men who definitely weren’t Uncle Larry.
78. Guilt and confusion sat cold in his stomach, and he set the phone down, feeling a pang for his trusting, old uncle.
79. Wandering farther, Oliver’s curiosity blossomed—he wanted to know what grown-ups kept hidden.
80. He tiptoed toward the master bedroom, anxious but excited.
81. The door was ajar, and Oliver slipped inside, marveling at the neatness: a towering wardrobe, jewelry tree shimmering on the dresser, shoes stacked in a little pyramid, the covers smooth on the king bed.
82. As he darted around the perimeter, his foot snagged the cuff of his jeans.
83. He tumbled forward, shoes flying, socks sliding halfway off, trying to regain his balance.
84. He crashed into the shoe stack—specifically, Veronica’s wedges—and his bare toes landed square in the open toe box.
85. He let out a yelp, steadying himself, heart pounding, the accidental sensation of the cool suede beneath his feet sending shivers up his leg.
86. He tried to back away, but the wedge sandals clung as though fused.
87. He kicked and tugged, but could not shake them off.
88. He felt a weird heat pulsing from his soles upward, a tingling he’d never felt.
89. His feet began to crack and pop, bones lengthening, veins surfacing.
90. The skin shriveled, thinning, the arches rising—his toes stretched and reddened, the nails elongating, the pads softening.
91. Each toe thinned, the pinky toe almost vanishing along the edge.
92. Calluses disappeared, replaced by smooth, delicate flesh.
93. His ankles narrowed, bone structure rearranging with painful snaps.
94. Light hair vanished, replaced by hairless, silky skin.
95. He felt a shaving of pressure, the wedge now fitting perfectly.
96. Freckles and scars vanished as the skin smoothed further.
97. His toes snapped to the perfect French tip manicure, delicate and sparkling.
98. His heels narrowed and the arch became impossibly high.
99. The knuckles of his toes shrank, leaving dainty, delicate feet.
100. The wedge’s straps cinched his ankles in place.
101. The bones finished shifting; these were no longer the feet of a child.
102. They were the sculpted, elegant feet of a grown woman in fancy sandals.
103. He panicked, now unable to wiggle his toes normally.
104. The shoe felt like a permanent extension, sending a strange thrill up his spine.
105. He burst out, “I don’t want to be my great uncle’s wife! She’s a mean lady, I don’t want to be girly! She hates video games and she’s so mean, and I hate makeup and nail polish!”
106. In the closet, he could see more:
107. Four-inch red stilettos, encrusted with rhinestones.
108. Pale pink kitten heels, with bows at the ankle.
109. Black gladiator sandals.
110. Blue patent-leather pumps.
111. A shiny gold clutch purse.
112. Sequined cocktail dress in fuchsia.
113. Clothes: silk blouses, a fringe suede skirt, black leather leggings, a boxy fur-trim coat.
114. Chandelier earrings, a pearl choker, rings in every color.
115. Flustered, Oliver yanked loose the comforter and sheets on the king bed, tangling them over the side.
116. He scrambled out, knocking over the bowl of peanut butter cups, chips cascading, soda fizz spraying against the tiles in a sugar tsunami.
117. He shrieked, “Noooooooooooo! My feet look so gross and girly! Help, please!”
**118. His legs cracked and transformed:**

133. 15. The lower hem of Veronica’s skintight navy dress crawled upward, gripping his new hips, leaving the legs bare and exposed.
**134. His torso and chest feminized:**
135. 1. Waist drew inward as his bones shrank and rearranged.
136. 2. Ribs expanded, pushing out gently-rounded breasts.
137. 3. Nipples swelled and tingled with discomfort, swelling with age and identity.

139. 5. Lower back curved more, accentuating a new arch.
140. 6. Skin softened, blemishes fading, pores closing.

142. 8. The navy fabric hugged new breasts, gluing to every contour.
143. 9. Shoulders drew back and narrowed, collarbones more visible.
144. 10. Scapulae and upper arms slimmed drastically.
145. 11. Skin tone matched seamlessly with his legs and face.
146. 12. The faint scent of floral perfume blossomed over his skin.
147. 13. His back tingled with the movement of the internal organs shifting higher.
148. 14. Bra straps pinched at new shoulders and rounded flesh.
149. 15. Upper arms showed faint muscle but ended in delicate wrists.

158. 8. A dusting of perfume settled on soft skin.
159. 9. Age spots retreated, skin turned pale and unblemished.
160. 10. Hands grew deft and skillful, movements naturally graceful.
161. 11. His thumb changed orientation, opposing to hold various things more elegantly.
162. 12. The palm narrowed, new lines etching themselves into adult shapes.
163. 13. A gold band dimpled the base of the left ring finger.
164. 14. Freckles faded; dainty blue veins marbled beneath the surface.
165. 15. Warts and scrapes healed over in seconds; hands—now truly adult—looked like they were made for jewelry.
166. Oliver wailed, “I look so girly! I don’t want to be my great uncle’s wife! She’s so girly and I don’t want to be her!”
**167. His head, hair, and face feminized:**
168. 1. Skull cracked with a sharp ache, jaw retreating inward.

178. 11. Hairline lowered, widow’s peak extending.
179. 12. Black roots faded upward as raven-black hair sealed into pin-straight, waist-length locks.

200. Handle gleamed in gold, the croc-leather shining against her side. Hot pink lining peeked out.
201. Her voice cracked and shifted high and smooth, now Veronica’s.
202. She screamed, a foreign, refined shriek—then slapped her hand over her mouth, horrified.
203. Memories began to drift, as needs and desires shifted.
204. She craved designer brands, yearned for applause, felt haughty.
205. She didn’t want to feel this—she tossed that purse into the kitchen.
206. She kicked off the wedges, snatching off her jewelry, breathing hard.
207. She shouted, “This is NOT happening! I am not some snobby cackling witch, why am I prancing around in these shoes?! Why do I know what Hermès is?! Someone HELP ME! I want my feet back! I want my video games! I HAVE TO STOP THIS!”
208. The phone rang—her phone now. It displayed “Old Goat” on the screen: her mean-spirited nickname for Larry.
209. She ignored it, refusing to pick up.
210. She sprinted to what she half-remembered as her friend’s room; the wave of childish hope pushed through snobbery.
211. “If I can just get a video game started, maybe I can UNDO this,” she whispered, heart pounding.
212. She trembled in the gamer’s chair, clutching the controller—PS5, she noted with a snarl at herself.
213. The console booted... crawling, seconds trickling away.
214. The wind from the ceiling fan tickled bare legs under her short navy dress—an alien, humiliating sensation.
215. As she waited—
216. 90 seconds.
217. Knowledge of games faded. “Hit the... start? X button... what does that mean...?”
218. 80. A flush grew in her cheeks, body slumping naturally into a sassy, self-satisfied pose.
219. 70. “Ugh, this controller is... ew, disgusting, why would anyone touch this?”
220. 60. “No, don’t think about shoes, think about... I mean... I mean—what are... what is... what does this even DO?”
221. 50. Legs swung, crossed at the knee, wedges tilted on painted toes.
222. 40. “Just get it started, it HAS to work, I’m NOT some old man’s—wait, I deserve better—no, NO!”
223. 30. Nostrils flared, chin raised.
224. 20. She sneered, voice dripping with sudden materialism, “Honestly, this cheap thing isn’t even imported, how does he expect a REAL woman to use this?”
225. 10. “Gross, why are there chips everywhere? Don’t you people clean?!”
226. 3. “This is a waste of my time, I should be—”
227. 0. *Beep!*
228. The game loaded, *one second too late.*
229. Veronica blinked, immortal as herself now; the real wife was gone.
230. She glared at the controller. “What the HELL is this junk?!” she smacked it against the cushion, annoyed.
231. Sweeping upstairs, she saw carnage in the kitchen—chips, overturned soda, shoes, jewelry, her purse, her wedges all scattered.
232. She grumbled, “Was I not getting ready for that DUMB date with Larry? Ugh, Veronica, you’re 43 and have to babysit an old sack of bones, and he can’t even leave the kitchen clean. What an oaf.”
233. She picked up her earrings and bracelet, “This mess better not get on my nails. Larry’s probably hiding again!” she yelled up the stairs, “Larry, where are you, you decrepit walnuts-for-brains?!”
234. Only silence and the eerie hallway greeted her from above.
235. “Fine!” Veronica muttered, yanking her jewelry one by one back on.
**236. Jewelry:**
237. 1. Choker with the blue sapphire, elegantly tight.
238. 2. Silver hoops in each ear.
239. 3. Diamond bracelet on the right wrist.
240. 4. Serpent emerald ring on her index finger.
241. 5. Wedding ring clicking onto her left ring finger—cold but familiar.
242. Kicking her wedges in front of her, Veronica flopped onto the floor, petting her sandals. “These are the most gorgeous shoes in this miserable county,” she muttered.
**Veronica inserted her left foot:**
243. 1. Lined her toes up with the open toe box.
244. 2. Slid her painted nails in, sighing at the snug fit.
245. 3. Tugged the band over the arch, snugly.
246. 4. Twisted the straps until the gold flecks shone.
247. 5. Buckled the ankle, tightening until it hugged flawlessly.
248. 6. Rocked her high arch into the plush lining.
249. 7. Fanned her toes, admiring the French tips.
250. 8. Wiggled her foot experimentally, the heel locked in.
251. 9. Checked from every angle—perfection.
252. 10. Flexed her calf, feeling years of practice in each motion.
**Right foot next:**
253. 1. Pulled her toes in carefully.
254. 2. Nestled her foot into position, sighing at the soft suede.
255. 3. Gripped the front band, centering it.
256. 4. Fastened the ankle strap, hearing the satisfying click.
257. 5. Admired the symmetry of her feet—elegant, adult.
258. 6. Twisted her ankle side to side, admiring the view.
259. 7. Ran a finger along the gold flecks.
260. 8. Tapped her heels together, relishing the height.
261. 9. Crossed her legs, proud.
262. 10. Stood up, body snapping into a confident, slinky stance.
263. She grabbed her purse, slung it over her shoulder, and struck a pose before the hallway mirror.
264. More lipstick, powder on her cheeks.
265. She seized her oversized sunglasses, sliding them on with a catlike flourish.
266. “Veronica, babe, you are simply the best in town. Honestly, I hope that fossil croaks soon—then the world will finally be mine!” she laughed, snapping her fingers at her reflection.
267. She strutted upstairs to her bedroom, eyeing her clothes slung about the room, shoes underfoot.
268. She picked up a red stiletto, agitated, “Honestly, Larry, you absolute buffoon, I swear you leave everything for me. Would it kill you to put your own shoes away?”
269. She spun before the mirror, angling every curve, every shimmer of the dress.
“Purse? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Jewelry, wedges, lipstick? Check, check, check, check! Veronica, honey, you’ve done it again. Hmm... what AM I forgetting?” she mused to her reflection.
270. “Look at you—meticulous, immaculate, sharp as a tack. Used to be a nothing, and now look at you. Unlike that idiot I married, you know how to take care of everything and look GOOD doing it. That’s called being a woman.”
271. She thought of dinner: “Well, there’s food and cocktails coming at least. If Larry’s cheap, I’ll just make HIM pay for more drinks! At least they’re cold, unlike his personality.”
272. Her phone rang, flashing “Larry.” She rolled her eyes, “Ugh, what can you possibly want, you old fossil?”
273. Snatching the phone, she sneered into it. “Yes, what is it? I assume you’re not calling to compliment my taste, are you?”
274. “Are you alright, Veronica? You didn’t answer the first time, and I saw the mess...”
275. “You called earlier?” she said, voice sharp. “Are you sure? I see nothing here except YOUR disasters!” She scrolled her call log, bewildered.
276. A noise outside: Larry’s sedan pulled into the drive, signaling his return.
277. Veronica paused, gazing at herself in the mirror. “I LOVE being a lady. Can’t WAIT to get that old goat to buy me another purse—or a whole new pair of Louboutins!”
278. She sashayed to the door, twisted the deadbolt, and closed it smartly behind her.
279. Out on the driveway, she strode determinedly toward the car, swinging her purse with each haughty step.
280. Larry emerged, tall and stooped, holding the car door.
281. Veronica kept her distance, rolling her eyes as he reached for her hands.
282. She yanked away, glaring up at him, “Keep your clammy paws OFF the nails, Larry. I told you, if you want me on your arm, you have to PAY for it first.” She thrust out her hand, palm open. “Now, cash, old man.”
283. They made it to the restaurant as planned, Veronica marching ahead, Larry trudging behind.
284. Suddenly, a squeal of tires—a reckless car swerved onto the sidewalk, barreling toward Veronica.
285. Larry lunged, old legs pumping with forgotten vigor.
286. He shoved Veronica out of harm’s way, taking the impact himself and crumpling to the pavement.
287. Veronica spun, shock on her face. “Oh my GOD, who just saved me?!” she cried, clutching her chest, seeing Larry sprawled, blood on his brow.
288. Rushing to his side, anger bled away into fear. She fell to her knees beside his broken form, clutching at his hand.
289. Suddenly an unfamiliar, painful warmth blossomed in her heart, mixing horror with gratitude.
290. “Larry, you stupid, reckless, ridiculous old man… don’t you dare die on me now!” she sobbed.
291. For the first time in years, she realized she didn’t want to lose him—not just for the money, the gifts, the lifestyle—but because, despite everything, he had always cared for her.
292. Larry coughed, reaching for her with a quaking hand.
293. “Veronica… are you… alright?”
294. Tears leaked down Veronica’s cheeks, ruining her expensive makeup.
295. “I—I’m fine, idiot. I’m fine thanks to you. You—”
296. She stopped, the words hitching on her tongue. Her lips trembled in a way she didn’t recognize.
297. “You saved me. You stupid, sweet idiot. Don’t you ever do that again. You hear me? Don’t you EVER leave me alone.”
298. Larry gave a crooked smile. “Thought you’d want a few more purses before you said goodbye, kiddo.”
299. Veronica sobbed and burst into laughter at once, sniffling and clutching her heart.
300. Paramedics arrived, whisking Larry away.
301. For the remainder of the night, Veronica waited in the hospital, never once leaving his side.
302. She realized, deep down, that maybe she could find something in herself that was worth more than snobbery and style.
303. Maybe—even if she could never understand calluses and controllers—she could remember a little of what selflessness felt like.
304. And just maybe, the next day, she’d make sure to clean the kitchen herself.

He was very young, only 7 years old. 3. His birthday was July 22, 2017. 4. He was born in 2017 in the town of Marrowood, a leafy neighborhood in upstate New York. 5. Oliver was 3 feet 11 inches tall, barely scraping the yardstick standing next to his mother. 6. He weighed 43 pounds, with the limbs and round cheeks of early childhood. 7. Oliver had straight, chestnut brown hair, in a slightly messy bowl cut his mother trimmed herself. 8. His eyes were a soft, inquisitive blue, always darting from one interesting thing to the next. 9. He was white, with a pale pink complexion that freckled easily in the sun. 10. Oliver’s mom was named Jessica Kirkpatrick, or Jessie for short. 11. Jessica was young herself, only 25 years old. 12. Her birthday was March 16, 1999. 13. She’d been a single parent since the age of 18. 14. Jessica stood at 5 feet 6 inches tall. 15. She weighed 134 pounds, carrying herself with an energetic, youthful air. 16. Her long, wavy blonde hair often tumbled over her shoulders in loose curls. 17. Her eyes were hazel, flecked with green that brightened when she smiled. 18. Oliver’s grandmother was Amanda Kirkpatrick. 19. Despite being a grandma, Amanda was a young woman at 43 years old. 20. Her birthday was October 2, 1980. 21. She was 5 feet 7 inches tall with a stately presence. 22. Her weight was 149 pounds, solid yet graceful as she moved around the kitchen. 23. Amanda’s hair was dyed a rich auburn and cut into a sleek bob. 24. Her eyes were a stormy gray, often giving the impression that she was always on the verge of laughter. 25. They had come to visit Oliver’s great-uncle, Lawrence “Larry” Kirkpatrick. 26. Larry was truly old—a living legend at 78 years of age. 27. He was born on March 1, 1946. 28. Larry stood at 6 feet even, his height slightly stooped with age. 29. He weighed 181 pounds, thinned out and wiry with age. 30. Larry’s hair was sparse, snowy-white, and combed straight back over a blotched scalp, exposing a prominent widow’s peak. 31. Larry’s wife, Oliver’s great-aunt, was named Veronica Kirkpatrick. 32. Veronica was 43, forty-five years Larry’s junior. 33. Her birthday was April 27, 1981. 34. She was 5 feet 4 inches, petite and yet striking in posture. 35. Veronica weighed 128 pounds, her figure curvaceous and attention-grabbing. 36. She had raven-black hair, pin-straight and falling to her waist, often parted in the middle for a dramatic look. 37. Her eyes were an icy blue, almost silvery in the right light. 38. The occasion that night was their twelfth wedding anniversary—a tradition with dinner at the most expensive steakhouse in town. 39. Veronica was preparing in their upstairs bedroom, slipping into a scandalously skintight short dress. 40. The dress was a metallic navy, clinging to her curves like liquid. 41. The top was a sleeveless scoop neck, cut daringly low at the bust, showcasing her pale shoulders and a silver chain tattoo. 42. The hem ended scandalously mid-thigh, hugging her hips and riding up as she moved, emphatically exposing her toned legs. 43. A thin ribbon belt encircled her waist, knotted to the side with a glittery accent. 44. The dress shimmered when she crossed her legs, the fabric stretching and relaxing with each step. 45. On her feet, Veronica wore a pair of platform wedge sandals. 46. The sandals had a sky-high 4-inch cork heel, the platform sole a warm honey color varnished to a high gloss. 47. Embedded in the cork were tiny flecks of gold, glinting slyly in the light. 48. The upper straps were matte black leather—two crossing over her toes, one over her arch, and a final strap suspending at her ankle with a tiny golden buckle. 49. The soles were lined with plush white suede, imprinting her high-arched feet with every step. **50. Veronica's fingernails and toenails were painted with glossy French tips:** 51. The base was a translucent blush pink. 52. The tips a harsh, glittering white, curved into a delicate crescent. 53. Each nail sparkled under the lamp, cut to a perfect almond. 54. A tiny rhinestone sparkled on the ring finger of each hand. **55. Veronica’s 5 pieces of jewelry:** 56. 1. A thick, gold choker with a dangling sapphire centerpiece, tightly fastened around her pale neck. 57. 2. Large, heavy silver hoop earrings, nearly brushing her shoulders. 58. 3. A chunky, diamond-studded bracelet on her right wrist, glinting whenever she moved her hands. 59. 4. An intricate platinum cocktail ring shaped like a serpent, scaled in emeralds, coiled around her left index finger. 60. 5. A wide, diamond-encrusted wedding band, dazzlingly set on her left ring finger. **61. Veronica’s purse was enormous, a designer faux-crocodile satchel:** 62. The bag was glossy black, soft but structured, with golden hardware gleaming on each thick handle. 63. The lining was hot pink suede, a splash of color visible when the bag gaped open. 64. Inside: a small makeup pouch (containing foundation, blush, mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick), two wallets (one for cash, one full of credit cards), a little zippered coin purse, her phone, a bundle of receipts, chewing gum, a hairbrush, a compact mirror, tissues, her keys, perfume, and a folded shopping list. 65. Veronica was sitting at her dressing table, facing a magnified mirror. 66. She swept a thick line of bold red lipstick across her lips, carefully outlining her mouth for maximum drama. 67. As she finished, she rummaged in her purse and fished out a wad of bills—counting, and then scowling fiercely. 68. Stomping her platform wedge on the hardwood, she exclaimed, “ONLY six hundred dollars?! Are you KIDDING me? That is basically nothing! What can I get, macaroni and cheese?! UGH!” 69. She tossed the money back in her purse, slammed the lipstick shut, and shrieked a curse, launching a tantrum while thrashing her hands. 70. Finally, Larry called up the stairs, “Veronica, are you ready?” 71. Veronica grabbed her purse and jewelry, ushered Larry out the door, and clicked off down the walk to their car, their voices echoing through the empty house. 72. Jessica and Amanda stepped out for coffee together, leaving Oliver behind inside, momentarily forgotten in the confusion. 73. Oliver wandered into the kitchen, peering hungrily at what his great aunt had left out. 74. On the counter: a family-size bag of barbecue chips, half-eaten Skittles, two cans of cherry cola, and a bowl of peanut butter cups. 75. Also, Veronica's phone lay abandoned under a pile of glossies and nail files. 76. Oliver, bored and curious, picked up the phone to swipe a game, but glanced at the open messages. 77. He squinted at the recent chat log—dozens of texts and hearts—between Aunt Veronica and men who definitely weren’t Uncle Larry. 78. Guilt and confusion sat cold in his stomach, and he set the phone down, feeling a pang for his trusting, old uncle. 79. Wandering farther, Oliver’s curiosity blossomed—he wanted to know what grown-ups kept hidden. 80. He tiptoed toward the master bedroom, anxious but excited. 81. The door was ajar, and Oliver slipped inside, marveling at the neatness: a towering wardrobe, jewelry tree shimmering on the dresser, shoes stacked in a little pyramid, the covers smooth on the king bed. 82. As he darted around the perimeter, his foot snagged the cuff of his jeans. 83. He tumbled forward, shoes flying, socks sliding halfway off, trying to regain his balance. 84. He crashed into the shoe stack—specifically, Veronica’s wedges—and his bare toes landed square in the open toe box. 85. He let out a yelp, steadying himself, heart pounding, the accidental sensation of the cool suede beneath his feet sending shivers up his leg. 86. He tried to back away, but the wedge sandals clung as though fused. 87. He kicked and tugged, but could not shake them off. 88. He felt a weird heat pulsing from his soles upward, a tingling he’d never felt. 89. His feet began to crack and pop, bones lengthening, veins surfacing. 90. The skin shriveled, thinning, the arches rising—his toes stretched and reddened, the nails elongating, the pads softening. 91. Each toe thinned, the pinky toe almost vanishing along the edge. 92. Calluses disappeared, replaced by smooth, delicate flesh. 93. His ankles narrowed, bone structure rearranging with painful snaps. 94. Light hair vanished, replaced by hairless, silky skin. 95. He felt a shaving of pressure, the wedge now fitting perfectly. 96. Freckles and scars vanished as the skin smoothed further. 97. His toes snapped to the perfect French tip manicure, delicate and sparkling. 98. His heels narrowed and the arch became impossibly high. 99. The knuckles of his toes shrank, leaving dainty, delicate feet. 100. The wedge’s straps cinched his ankles in place. 101. The bones finished shifting; these were no longer the feet of a child. 102. They were the sculpted, elegant feet of a grown woman in fancy sandals. 103. He panicked, now unable to wiggle his toes normally. 104. The shoe felt like a permanent extension, sending a strange thrill up his spine. 105. He burst out, “I don’t want to be my great uncle’s wife! She’s a mean lady, I don’t want to be girly! She hates video games and she’s so mean, and I hate makeup and nail polish!” 106. In the closet, he could see more: 107. Four-inch red stilettos, encrusted with rhinestones. 108. Pale pink kitten heels, with bows at the ankle. 109. Black gladiator sandals. 110. Blue patent-leather pumps. 111. A shiny gold clutch purse. 112. Sequined cocktail dress in fuchsia. 113. Clothes: silk blouses, a fringe suede skirt, black leather leggings, a boxy fur-trim coat. 114. Chandelier earrings, a pearl choker, rings in every color. 115. Flustered, Oliver yanked loose the comforter and sheets on the king bed, tangling them over the side. 116. He scrambled out, knocking over the bowl of peanut butter cups, chips cascading, soda fizz spraying against the tiles in a sugar tsunami. 117. He shrieked, “Noooooooooooo! My feet look so gross and girly! Help, please!” **118. His legs cracked and transformed:** 119. 1. Kneecaps thinned and elongated, joints creaking. 120. 2.

The skin tone paled further; faint makeup shimmered on his legs. 133. 15. The lower hem of Veronica’s skintight navy dress crawled upward, gripping his new hips, leaving the legs bare and exposed. **134. His torso and chest feminized:** 135. 1. Waist drew inward as his bones shrank and rearranged. 136. 2. Ribs expanded, pushing out gently-rounded breasts. 137. 3. Nipples swelled and tingled with discomfort, swelling with age and identity. 138. 4. Abdomen lengthened, flattening with a hint of definition. 139. 5. Lower back curved more, accentuating a new arch. 140. 6. Skin softened, blemishes fading, pores closing. 141. 7. A strip of the shiny dress’s upper half materialized over his chest. 142. 8. The navy fabric hugged new breasts, gluing to every contour. 143. 9. Shoulders drew back and narrowed, collarbones more visible. 144. 10. Scapulae and upper arms slimmed drastically. 145. 11. Skin tone matched seamlessly with his legs and face. 146. 12. The faint scent of floral perfume blossomed over his skin. 147. 13. His back tingled with the movement of the internal organs shifting higher. 148. 14. Bra straps pinched at new shoulders and rounded flesh. 149. 15.

Memories began to drift, as needs and desires shifted. 204. She craved designer brands, yearned for applause, felt haughty. 205. She didn’t want to feel this—she tossed that purse into the kitchen. 206. She kicked off the wedges, snatching off her jewelry, breathing hard. 207. She shouted, “This is NOT happening! I am not some snobby cackling witch, why am I prancing around in these shoes?! Why do I know what Hermès is?! Someone HELP ME! I want my feet back! I want my video games! I HAVE TO STOP THIS!” 208. The phone rang—her phone now. It displayed “Old Goat” on the screen: her mean-spirited nickname for Larry. 209. She ignored it, refusing to pick up. 210. She sprinted to what she half-remembered as her friend’s room; the wave of childish hope pushed through snobbery. 211. “If I can just get a video game started, maybe I can UNDO this,” she whispered, heart pounding. 212. She trembled in the gamer’s chair, clutching the controller—PS5, she noted with a snarl at herself. 213. The console booted... crawling, seconds trickling away. 214. The wind from the ceiling fan tickled bare legs under her short navy dress—an alien, humiliating sensation. 215. As she waited— 216. 90 seconds. 217. Knowledge of games faded. “Hit the... start? X button... what does that mean...?” 218. 80. A flush grew in her cheeks, body slumping naturally into a sassy, self-satisfied pose. 219. 70. “Ugh, this controller is... ew, disgusting, why would anyone touch this?” 220. 60. “No, don’t think about shoes, think about... I mean... I mean—what are... what is... what does this even DO?” 221. 50. Legs swung, crossed at the knee, wedges tilted on painted toes. 222. 40. “Just get it started, it HAS to work, I’m NOT some old man’s—wait, I deserve better—no, NO!” 223. 30. Nostrils flared, chin raised. 224. 20. She sneered, voice dripping with sudden materialism, “Honestly, this cheap thing isn’t even imported, how does he expect a REAL woman to use this?” 225. 10. “Gross, why are there chips everywhere? Don’t you people clean?!” 226. 3. “This is a waste of my time, I should be—” 227. 0. *Beep!* 228. The game loaded, *one second too late.* 229. Veronica blinked, immortal as herself now; the real wife was gone. 230. She glared at the controller. “What the HELL is this junk?!” she smacked it against the cushion, annoyed. 231. Sweeping upstairs, she saw carnage in the kitchen—chips, overturned soda, shoes, jewelry, her purse, her wedges all scattered. 232. She grumbled, “Was I not getting ready for that DUMB date with Larry? Ugh, Veronica, you’re 43 and have to babysit an old sack of bones, and he can’t even leave the kitchen clean. What an oaf.” 233. She picked up her earrings and bracelet, “This mess better not get on my nails. Larry’s probably hiding again!” she yelled up the stairs, “Larry, where are you, you decrepit walnuts-for-brains?!” 234. Only silence and the eerie hallway greeted her from above. 235. “Fine!” Veronica muttered, yanking her jewelry one by one back on. **236. Jewelry:** 237. 1. Choker with the blue sapphire, elegantly tight. 238. 2. Silver hoops in each ear. 239. 3. Diamond bracelet on the right wrist. 240. 4. Serpent emerald ring on her index finger. 241. 5. Wedding ring clicking onto her left ring finger—cold but familiar. 242. Kicking her wedges in front of her, Veronica flopped onto the floor, petting her sandals. “These are the most gorgeous shoes in this miserable county,” she muttered. **Veronica inserted her left foot:** 243. 1. Lined her toes up with the open toe box. 244. 2. Slid her painted nails in, sighing at the snug fit. 245. 3. Tugged the band over the arch, snugly. 246. 4. Twisted the straps until the gold flecks shone. 247. 5. Buckled the ankle, tightening until it hugged flawlessly. 248. 6. Rocked her high arch into the plush lining. 249. 7. Fanned her toes, admiring the French tips. 250. 8. Wiggled her foot experimentally, the heel locked in. 251. 9. Checked from every angle—perfection. 252. 10. Flexed her calf, feeling years of practice in each motion. **Right foot next:** 253. 1. Pulled her toes in carefully. 254. 2. Nestled her foot into position, sighing at the soft suede. 255. 3. Gripped the front band, centering it. 256. 4. Fastened the ankle strap, hearing the satisfying click. 257. 5. Admired the symmetry of her feet—elegant, adult. 258. 6. Twisted her ankle side to side, admiring the view. 259. 7. Ran a finger along the gold flecks. 260. 8. Tapped her heels together, relishing the height. 261. 9. Crossed her legs, proud. 262. 10. Stood up, body snapping into a confident, slinky stance. 263. She grabbed her purse, slung it over her shoulder, and struck a pose before the hallway mirror. 264. More lipstick, powder on her cheeks. 265. She seized her oversized sunglasses, sliding them on with a catlike flourish. 266. “Veronica, babe, you are simply the best in town. Honestly, I hope that fossil croaks soon—then the world will finally be mine!” she laughed, snapping her fingers at her reflection. 267. She strutted upstairs to her bedroom, eyeing her clothes slung about the room, shoes underfoot. 268. She picked up a red stiletto, agitated, “Honestly, Larry, you absolute buffoon, I swear you leave everything for me. Would it kill you to put your own shoes away?” 269. She spun before the mirror, angling every curve, every shimmer of the dress. “Purse? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Jewelry, wedges, lipstick? Check, check, check, check! Veronica, honey, you’ve done it again. Hmm... what AM I forgetting?” she mused to her reflection. 270. “Look at you—meticulous, immaculate, sharp as a tack. Used to be a nothing, and now look at you. Unlike that idiot I married, you know how to take care of everything and look GOOD doing it. That’s called being a woman.” 271. She thought of dinner: “Well, there’s food and cocktails coming at least. If Larry’s cheap, I’ll just make HIM pay for more drinks! At least they’re cold, unlike his personality.” 272. Her phone rang, flashing “Larry.” She rolled her eyes, “Ugh, what can you possibly want, you old fossil?” 273. Snatching the phone, she sneered into it. “Yes, what is it? I assume you’re not calling to compliment my taste, are you?” 274. “Are you alright, Veronica? You didn’t answer the first time, and I saw the mess...” 275. “You called earlier?” she said, voice sharp. “Are you sure? I see nothing here except YOUR disasters!” She scrolled her call log, bewildered. 276. A noise outside: Larry’s sedan pulled into the drive, signaling his return. 277. Veronica paused, gazing at herself in the mirror. “I LOVE being a lady. Can’t WAIT to get that old goat to buy me another purse—or a whole new pair of Louboutins!” 278. She sashayed to the door, twisted the deadbolt, and closed it smartly behind her. 279. Out on the driveway, she strode determinedly toward the car, swinging her purse with each haughty step. 280. Larry emerged, tall and stooped, holding the car door. 281. Veronica kept her distance, rolling her eyes as he reached for her hands. 282. She yanked away, glaring up at him, “Keep your clammy paws OFF the nails, Larry. I told you, if you want me on your arm, you have to PAY for it first.” She thrust out her hand, palm open. “Now, cash, old man.” 283. They made it to the restaurant as planned, Veronica marching ahead, Larry trudging behind. 284. Suddenly, a squeal of tires—a reckless car swerved onto the sidewalk, barreling toward Veronica. 285. Larry lunged, old legs pumping with forgotten vigor. 286. He shoved Veronica out of harm’s way, taking the impact himself and crumpling to the pavement. 287. Veronica spun, shock on her face. “Oh my GOD, who just saved me?!” she cried, clutching her chest, seeing Larry sprawled, blood on his brow. 288. Rushing to his side, anger bled away into fear. She fell to her knees beside his broken form, clutching at his hand. 289. Suddenly an unfamiliar, painful warmth blossomed in her heart, mixing horror with gratitude. 290. “Larry, you stupid, reckless, ridiculous old man… don’t you dare die on me now!” she sobbed. 291. For the first time in years, she realized she didn’t want to lose him—not just for the money, the gifts, the lifestyle—but because, despite everything, he had always cared for her. 292. Larry coughed, reaching for her with a quaking hand. 293. “Veronica… are you… alright?” 294. Tears leaked down Veronica’s cheeks, ruining her expensive makeup. 295. “I—I’m fine, idiot. I’m fine thanks to you. You—” 296. She stopped, the words hitching on her tongue. Her lips trembled in a way she didn’t recognize. 297. “You saved me. You stupid, sweet idiot. Don’t you ever do that again. You hear me? Don’t you EVER leave me alone.” 298. Larry gave a crooked smile. “Thought you’d want a few more purses before you said goodbye, kiddo.” 299. Veronica sobbed and burst into laughter at once, sniffling and clutching her heart. 300. Paramedics arrived, whisking Larry away. 301. For the remainder of the night, Veronica waited in the hospital, never once leaving his side. 302. She realized, deep down, that maybe she could find something in herself that was worth more than snobbery and style. 303. Maybe—even if she could never understand calluses and controllers—she could remember a little of what selflessness felt like. 304. And just maybe, the next day, she’d make sure to clean the kitchen herself. --- End.
