"Twilight's Transfiguration: A Soldier's Surreal Shift"
0 Points

It was a stifling, rugged day in the desert, the commanding heat of the sun juxtaposed against the crisp, sterile whiteness of newly commissioned Second Lieutenant Alex Taylor's freshly-pressed fatigues. Alex had just reached 22 and was now standing in the sands of the Middle East, a fresh college graduate experiencing his first deployment.
But as the stark shadows of twilight started to fade, something strange unfolded.
In a hazy heat shimmer, Alex's world was turned upside-down. In a second that seemed drawn out to an eternity, he was unwillingly, unrealistically transformed from a man into a woman. Reality seemed to ripple and shift around him, accommodating this transition. The solid, masculine contours of his youthful body turned softer, more streamlined.
He reached for the dog tags around his neck, now displayed a feminine name, 'Alexa Taylor'. His uniform, once tailored to the bulk of a man's body, seemed to flow and adjust to contour the softer lines of a woman. Alexa's shirt cinched itself neatly at the waist, her pants took a tapered cut, hugging her now subtly-rounded hips. Her fatigues bore the insignia of the female service uniform with her name and rank. Her hair had grown long enough to be put onto a standard female military bun, her hardened, razor-strewn jaw now soft and clear, her chest having developed the telltale curve of breasts beneath her standard-issue shirt.
In her pockets, Alexa found her ID cards – her military service card, her driver's license – and they too reflected the change. Scrolling through her social media, she found pictures of herself in skirts and dresses, and playing with makeup. All showed a female version of herself marked under the gender. A chill ran down her spine, breeding an unsettling confusion.
Yet the strangest thing was, everyone around her remembered her as nothing but a woman. She was 'Alexa', the female second lieutenant in their ranks. It was as if the world had always recognized she was a woman, they all acknowledged her femininity, except for herself.
Soon, it became fundamentally difficult for her to remember, let alone say, her old name, 'Alex'. Whenever she tried to insist on her identity, her tongue tied itself around the word 'Alexa'. Invariably, all her pronouns became 'she' and 'her', tripping off of the edge of her lips before she could correct them.
Her attraction to women seemed to suddenly pivot too. Despite her best efforts to resist it, to argue that she was not drawn to men, she found herself caught in the web of the male physique. The testosterone-laden scent of her comrades, the grip of their rugged hands, their rough facial stubble against her own smooth cheek was all suddenly, inexplicably appealing.
She tried to replicate her old behaviour, her masculine swagger, her rough-and-tough attitude, but every attempt turned out futile. Alexa was no longer overtly masculine and regardless of how she tried to resist, every element of her persona kept on shifting.
And so, in some static, numb corner of her mind, Alexa reluctantly started to accept this transformation. Accept her new reality. Accept that she was now a woman.
