On the tenth day, Wilma’s external transformation was complete. Bill was gone forever. As Wilma admired herself in her mirror, wearing a sexy, size six, petite dress, an inner sense warned her that something was wrong. 'I look perfect, so what is the matter?' she asked herself. “I am the woman I have always wanted to be,” she added aloud, taking pleasure in her sweet-sounding, feminine voice.
After the inner transformation was complete, Wilma entered the stage of induced amnesia, during which she would attend Barbara Brier training classes. She knew what the curriculum was, but all her past memory had been suppressed. However, she again sensed that something was wrong. It was the way other people, even the other girls in the program, treated her. Everyone was so deferential, as if she was somehow different in a way she could not grasp.
