Chapter 8

What's next?

Break something valuable

The woman disappeared. The shop isn't very large so you can't imagine where she's gone but you're left completely unattended. This is your chance to escape!

But the lady said to stay put. You really don't want to disappoint her. Honestly, you're a little scared of her but mostly you just want to be a good girl for her. Choosing to stay where she put you seems the only real option. So you wait.

No one enters the shop as minutes pass. The whole place has a strange vibe that doesn't fit into the rest of the mall at all. Something is not quite right about it

Alone with your thoughts, you shift on your feet uncomfortably. Your stupid shoes don't even fit. And why are they boy's shoes anyway? You're not a boy. You're a girl. A good girl. No, wait. You are a boy. Or at least you were when you came in. Does that make sense? Things are a bit fuzzy and it's getting harder to remember the details the more time passes.

You tug at your oversized men's clothing, irritated. It's terrible. Why had you ever put it on in the first place? You can't recall what other options you had, or what sort of thing you'd prefer to be wearing, but you know you hate men's clothes that don't even fit.

You kick off your shoes and peel off your socks to stand instead on bare feet, sighing contentedly as you flex your toes. You lift your arms and stretch luxuriously, yawning as you spread your arms out wide...

...and accidentally knock something from a shelf. It hits the floor with a nasty *CRACK* and you stare in horror at the damaged... what even was that? It looks like some sort of decorative crystal headband, but one end of it is broken clean off. Before your eyes, a small ball of yellow light seeps out of the break in the crystal and floats to your eye level.

Words form in your mind.

Thank you, mortal.

Then the light winks out as if it never existed in the first place. Maybe it never did and you're just imagining things.

You stand there blinking in confusion when you notice the woman has returned. She does not look happy.
