Break Time Reality Shift

"Thanks for covering for me." A woman Josie recognized as her coworker said. Josie took a step back as the woman slid into the cashier area. "Wait I was..." A confused Josie took a couple steps back from the register. "I.. I thought I was working..." Josie froze in a moment of confusion. "Shit what is going on..." Josie turned and headed towards the restroom to regroup and figure out what is going on.

As Josie entered the smelly restrooms the overhead lights kicked on. "Good, I must be the only one here." Josie started to make her way to the mirror, but a pungent smell hit her nose. "Fuck... Did something die in here?" Josie shook off the smell and hurried to the mirror. "Fucking hell..." Josie stood in shock at her reflection in the mirror. Gone was her round pudgy face... Gone was her droopy belly and fat thighs... "Holy shit!" Josie rushed up to get a closer look at her face. She could still see the resemblance to her sisters, but now he face was so angular and delicate. It almost had a gaunt look to it. "How.." Josie began to feel her face. "How... People don't just lose a 100 pounds... HOW!"

Taking a deep breath, Josie took a couple steps back to have a look at her body in the mirror. She was greeted by the sight of a short thin woman wearing a baggy long sleeve T-shirt and poorly fitting jeans. "Did I miss puberty?" Josie couldn't believe how tiny her body was now. Thin arms... Thing legs... Narrow shoulders... Narrow hips... Josie reached back and pulled her baggy shirt tight to her waist. "My god.. This can't be healthy." Josie's waist was so tiny it looked like she could snap in half. Josie turned her body to look at her profile in the mirror. "Nothing.. I've got nothing..." Josie tried push our her nonexistent breasts. "I'm built like a super tiny Asian girl."

Panicked Josie began to look around the restroom. "Wait.. Is everything bigger?" Josie couldn't help but think that the stalls looked higher. "Are the sinks higher?" She took a couple steps towards the sink to have a closer look, but before she had a chance to explore that thought a rumbling began to build in her head. Josie closed her eyes in pain as an avalanche of memories poured into her brain. Feeling about ready to collapse, Josie leaned on to the sink to stay on her feet.

As she stood their braced against the sink, vivid memories flashed liked lighting strikes in her head. FLASH! A photo of Josie and her two sisters came into focus in her head. Josie was now the shortest of the three and by far the most petite. FLASH! A memory of Josie's stunted puberty that was brought on by an eating disorder she had developed. FLASH! A memory of Josie being an outcast because of her diminutive build.

As quickly as the avalanche of memories had descended on her brain the rumbling abruptly stopped. Josie shook her head and gathered herself as one last memory shot into her head. "I don't work here... I don't work at Walmart!" Josie's celebration was cut short when she realized she doesn't work at all. "Shit I need to get out of her." Josie hurried out of the restroom and out into the parking lot. As she approached where she parked earlier that day she was greeted by a cheap little scooter. Josie sensed it was hers. Grabbing the helmet off the seat she quickly strapped it on her head and sat down the on the scooter. "Fuck... Where am I going?" Josie paused not knowing what to do. Then as if on cue, her stomach rumbled. "I need to get something to eat... Then I can figure out what to do..."
