Life’s a bitch sometimes, ain’t it folks? Let me pose a question to all – ever wonder when that certain day would arrive? The day when things go to the shitter and your whole life is turned upside down? – Well, surprise, surprise… I had one of those days unfortunately.
How did it begin you all ask? Well, it started over breakfast… after taking a shower and fixing my short light brown hair in the mirror, I went to put on my everyday clothes - a white short-sleeve dress shirt with red tie, grey jeans, black boots and black fingerless gloves.
My parents weren’t home unfortunately, so it was just me the entire day… sometimes I wonder if they care more about work than spending time with me. Don’t get me wrong, I love them… but they are never home. It’s been like this for as long as I can remember.
My blue-colored eyes scanned the environment (the kitchen) for worthy prey (anything edible) but came up short. After some more searching, I found enough materials to make a sandwich.
Fetching two pieces of bread, some cheese and meat – I plopped them in the toaster oven and let its magic work while I poured myself some juice. I wondered what might be on TV. I hoped it was something good like Danny Phantom or SpongeBob SquarePants.
A ‘DING’ noise occurred as my toasted sandwich was ready. I was so hungry I could’ve eaten a horse… figuratively speaking, of course. Putting the toast on a plate and taking my cup of juice, I went to the couch and turned on the TV only to get interrupted by the doorbell ringing.
I was frustrated to be interrupted from my impending meal, but decided to go see if it was important. It would have been unusual for the mailman or a UPS guy to drop off a package so early in the morning, but not unheard of. If they were coming to the door, that usually meant they needed something signed.
Opening the door, I was stunned to learn that there was no one… except for a simple box laying on the ground. It didn’t have a sender but a simple note that read:
‘From Unknown to you – use it wisely.’
I opened the box and saw a pair of bracelets inside with a golden-yellow color scheme. Was this some kind of joke? I certainly hadn’t ordered anything and the lack of return address was suspicious. I debated with myself for a moment before taking them inside. They didn’t look like they could be a bomb and I admit my curiosity got the better of me.
After closing the door and putting the box away, I examined the bracelets again. There was something odd about them. Something I couldn’t quite place my finger on. This sense of strangeness just encouraged my curiosity more.
Against my better judgement, I equipped them on both hands and surprisingly they were very light. Both fit perfectly… almost like they were some sort of custom job, made just for me.
Before I could think about it further, I began getting a massive headache as my vision blurred. I had no idea what was going on. Why was my head hurting so suddenly? I didn’t usually suffer headaches, but this one came on with no warning and hit like a truck.
I went looking for aspirin when suddenly a wave of drowsiness washed over me. I felt sluggish…tired…so sleepy…
My vision got blurry as my eyes began to close – as much as I tried to rage against it, I fell unconscious.
(??? – Unknown time.)
The young man was falling through the darkness in an unconscious state. As he fell through the void, his body began changing.
His short light brown hair was growing a bit and changed its colors – from light brown to bright golden long hair that faded to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top. The next change was his or should I say her body – all of her masculine parts were being sucked in her body while two breasts grew on her chest along with her height reaching 1.73 meters.
Her white short-sleeve dress shirt with a red tie and grey jeans was replaced with a tan jacket with orange lining and gold edging, unzipped halfway to show an orange crop top. The coat had darker brown short sleeves, a thick collar that completely encircled her neck and two long gold-trimmed rectangular tails and fitted black pants. Around her hips and over the tails of her coat was a brown belt which had two pieces of dark brown material trimmed in gold attached to it. The first covers from her left hip to the back of the belt and is folded over the belt, and the second is attached from the right hip and almost around to the other piece of material.
Her black boots had transformed into knee-high brown boots with gold caps on the heel and toe with the heel cap attaching to a gold strap across the front of her ankle and a gold zipper on the upper half of the front of the boots. A single small, buckled strap is on the upper outside of her boots, and a purple bandanna tied around her left knee. A pair of black fingerless gloves with long brown cuffs reaching to mid-forearm complete the outfit. Most interestingly was replacement on her right arm – a metal arm robotic arm prosthesis which was black and yellow.
As she continued falling through the darkness, she soon fell into a portal and went straight for the light.
(Unknown world – early afternoon…)
The girl’s eyes cracked slowly opened as she overheard the chirping in the sky. From the looks of things, she was in some kind… of field? Her head was hurting very much and for some reason her body didn’t feel like it usually did. Something was definitely wrong.
“Did anyone sip anything in those drinks last night…” She whispered to herself but then froze when she realized…
“Where am I? Who am I? Oh God, I can’t remember…” She felt the panic rising in her. This was all a bad dream… it had to be! People didn’t just wake up in fields with no memories! But as she got a feeling for her surroundings, she knew this couldn’t be a dream.
“WHAT’S GOING ON!?” She screamed, furry filling her. She’d been kidnapped!
Of course, rage couldn’t last forever. Fury gave way to fear. The shock and stress of being sent to this field and turned into a girl caught up with her and she broke down crying. “This sucks… this sucks.”
She hugged herself in her knees and cried some more. She had no idea where she was, who had done this to her, or what to do. The feelings of helplessness continued cycling around for a long while.
Once she had cried herself out, she sighed and stood up, checking herself over to make sure she was in one piece. Yellowish-golden hair, lilac eyes, a jacket, pants, robotic arm… Wait, what?
The woman paused as she stared at her robotic prosthesis on her right arm. She could still feel the arm, so she assumed it was some kind of specialized armor. What kind of things had she been up to for her to need something like that?
She sighed and shook her head. “Can this day get any weirder?” She asked herself.
What was she supposed to do now exactly? Try and find a way back home; search for civilization… Those were the only options she had-
Just then she felt a huge earthquake and was shocked. “What’s going on!?” She wondered before noticing a huge explosion in the distance.
It was a village that was looking worse for wear due to some of the buildings being destroyed and such. What should she do? Go and find help quickly or investigate this herself?
“I don’t know why… but I have a bad feeling I’m going to regret this!” The woman told herself before heading straight for the village to check if anyone was still alive.
This was a very bad idea since she had no idea what she was going to do… but she would try, nevertheless.
