“Christian—Christian Lore!”
“What?”
“I think you’ve been flexing in front of the mirror long enough. Now get over here and put on the clothes I bought for you yesterday.”
Shapeshifters needed to have big clothing budgets or pick similar size bodies. Which also eliminated the need to strip every time they wanted to shift.
“I’ve already told you I’m not staying in this body.”
“And I don’t want to see you walking around here naked for the next three hours. So get dressed, and let’s go get a bite to eat.”
“I am getting hungry. It takes a lot to feed these guns.”
“I’m sure it does; now hurry up before with both starve to death.”
“I can’t believe it. I’ve shifted. We should celebrate, but it feels so natural. Like I’ve always been this way.”
“It doesn’t take long to assimilate, but remember what I said. Never let your new identity take over, or your true self will become lost forever. Nothing more than a voice in the back of your head, unable to escape.”
Shift is an online work of fiction.
This is the first draft of my manuscript Shift – Don’t judge a book by its cover. I am writing it online in sections as I go. So feel free to comment, good or bad. If you see mistakes, point them out.
The story centers around shapeshifting.
I’m currently working on chapter nine.
