I'm starting to have difficulty remembering who I am. It seems like I was born in high heels. Just the other day I took a step out of the shower and my slipper fell off accidentally, causing a loud screech to escape my mouth when I came down flat-footed. I couldn't believe the agony till the shoe was back on. Fortunately Mrs. Castro hadn't heard my outburst or I definitely would have paid. The silence code here is absolute. The mirrored walls are a constant reminder of my growing femininity....

"As I indicated last night, you caused quite a stir in surgery when you were brought in.""I can just imagine.""Your physical form is something of a departure from what one usually observes, if I may say so."

The transformation took place within the span of a bright flash of light. It stung like a high-voltage electric shock, but no pain lingered. Nothing was left of Bill except memory; even his eyeglasses were gone. The image that Bill had grown up with was replaced in an instant with that of a fabulously gorgeous Middle Eastern woman, whose light bronze complexion was soft and flawless.

The next two months would be spent becoming Sarah, learning all the mannerisms and ways of womanhood. Monique would be his mentor and he was to obey her as he would Aunt Catherine. James was stunned into silence by shock. He was very frightened, aware of just how helpless he was in the hands of these two women. Despite the apparent changes to his body, he still didn't...

When they presented the shy, uncertain lad for approval, Aunt Lydia clapped her hands together with delight. "Ashton you look simply divine!" she gushed enthusiastically. "If I didn't know you were a boy, I'd never in a million yers dream you were anything but a pretty girl!"Since they had not allowed him a glimpse of their handiwork, Ashton blushed profusely and shivered with trepidation at the unexpected compliment which he wasn't sure was a compliment. He was anxious to see what he looked...

While the nail polish was drying, she picked up one of the two hat boxes and pulled from it a dark brown wig. It was styled in a feather cut which was currently popular among many women. She combed it out lightly, then brushed it out until it had fluffed up a bit from it's flattened condition in the hat box, where it had been reposing on a form.
