This story literally came to me in a dream, and clung to my imagination
like a bad cold until it was written. It examines what I believe is a
unique perspective on the insidious appeal of the Medallion and the
shattered confused lives it tends to leave behind. Frankly, some of it
is from my own fantasies about what I'd do with the bauble, but isn't
that what many of us put in our stories, pieces of ourselves?

Altered Fates - Leslie and Beth's Story
by Lorna Samuels
Chapter 1 - A Legal Quandry
The desk sergeant knocked and entered without waiting for a response.
"Lieutenant, that doc you asked to help with the Summers case is here."
"Thanks Mike, send her in please." Lt. Sheila Vasquez was a short petit
woman in her mid-30's of mixed ethnicity, short black hair, large brown
eyes, and a trim figure in her municipal police uniform.
She stood and shook hands with the person who entered. "Thanks for
coming, Dr. Kellogg. As I told you on the phone, this case has us
stumped and we'd like to see if you can help us figure it out."
"You said my position as consultant for the LGBD Society might help,
and that it's not the usual cross dresser or drag queen situation, so
I'm obviously intrigued." The large woman wore a knee-length
herringbone skirt suit and simple black flats. Dr. Ella Kellogg was a
psychoanalyst of some renown as an expert in LGBD cases. She was highly
sought after as a counselor and ran several very popular transgender
workshops. At 6'1" in flats, with broad shoulders, a square face,
narrow hips, and modest bosom, she was a 'post-op' herself, giving her
a unique and exceptionally empathic talent in her field.
"Yes, in fact you might be uniquely qualified to help with this one."
Lt. Vasquez tapped a file on her desk, then slid it toward her visitor.
"You already have a non-disclosure credential filed with headquarters
so have a look at this and let me know if you'd like to help."
After several minutes, Dr. Kellogg sat back and sighed deeply, staring
at the open file in her lap. "Wow, this is a candidate for a thorough
psych eval and probable long-term commitment. But this report on the
prints can't be right, or we'd have to believe her story."
"I know, that's why I called you. The DA's office agreed with me that
we need an independent expert to help figure this out without any
public exposure. There's no reasonable explanation for that print
report, especially since we redid it several times and got the same
results. But arraigning her would do exactly that. Since there's
obviously no threat to society, we convinced Judge Carter to release
her to your custody for whatever period you feel is appropriate,
assuming of course that you agree to the arrangement.
"Do you know anyone in the LGBD organization who you trust enough to
provide the shelter and care needed while you work on the case? We want
her isolated to avoid the rumor mill of an institution."
"You're asking a lot, Lieutenant, but I'm too intrigued by this (she
tapped the file) to resist. I know a woman in one of my groups who's
single now and has a large home where we can work. But I think we'll
probably need at least a few weeks to even scratch the surface,
especially if even a small bit of what's here is true."
"Very well, we can start with a month. I'll notify Judge Carter, then
we can get things moving."
"Do you believe her?"
"I'm not sure I know what to believe anymore."
It was over an hour before all the calls were made, paperwork
completed, and bureaucracy satisfied. Eventually, Lt. Vasquez escorted
Dr. Kellogg to a small well-padded room in the bowels of the city
detention center.
On a small mattress in the corner sat a young woman in a pale green
dress (standard prison garb). Her long brown hair needed a good
brushing, her face would have been pretty with a bit of effort, and her
bare legs were long and trim, with delicate feet. Her slouched position
in the rumpled oversized dress made it difficult to see that she was
about 5'7" with a lush curvy figure, especially her rather generous
bosom.
"Get away from me you creeps!" she screamed. Her reddened face and
bloodshot eyes revealed that she'd been crying for a long time. "Why'd
you make me wear this girlie crap?"
"Standard procedure," Lt. Vasquez replied evenly. "You've been told
that already."
"Don't care, I want my clothes back." She tried to curl up in a tight
ball with her arms wrapped tightly around her knees, but her sizeable
frontage interfered, and the gap between her ankles exposed standard
issue white cotton panties.
"Your sweats were ragged and filthy so we had to dispose of them. Would
it improve your attitude if we released you temporarily?"
"Release?" Her face shot up from her stupor, but acted like the Doctor
wasn't even in the room. "When?"
"Shortly. You're being released into Dr. Kellogg's custody for
evaluation." She nodded toward her tall companion. "But if you act up,
or misbehave in any way, you'll be right back here facing whatever
consequences you're actions have earned. Clear?"
The girl grumbled sadly, "Ain't that always the case, the victim gets
punished!" Then her gaze critically scanned Dr. Kellogg. "You're a
Psych, right? Why should I expect you to believe me any more than they
did. Hell, I hardly believe it myself and I'm stuck with... that!"
Her gaze had suddenly shifted toward the door where a female guard was
approaching with a large blanket bundle in her arms. "Sorry to
interrupt, Lieutenant, but Ms Summers needs to take care of this."
The bundle was handed to the girl whose face brightened slightly only
to revert to a sad melancholy as she unwrapped the bundle revealing a
small child, barely weeks old. With a noticeable grimace she popped the
top buttons of her dress, pulled it aside to expose a sizeable breast
in a nursing bra, released the front flap, put the child's mouth to the
bloated pap, and covered the suckling babe with the blanket.
Within moments her head lolled back against the padded wall, eyes
closed while the woeful expression turned to a more serene calm.
Dr. Kellogg noted every detail of the girl's behavior, her expressions,
and her language. 'Could what they had in her file explain the strange
ambivalence she has about the child?' she pondered, then concluded that
there was much to be done, and learn about this girl who is obviously
agitated.
Chapter 2 - Getting Settled
Several hours later, Dr. Kellogg and her 'ward' arrived at a modest
suburban home on a low hill.
"Hi Doc." The person who answered the door was well on her way through
her transition. She was slightly taller than the Doctor's charge and
one of the most successful of Dr. Kellogg's patients.
Melanie Brooks had long chestnut brown hair, attractive features, and a
curvy body. She was a strikingly pretty woman whom no one could believe
still had some male parts, which she would soon have removed when Dr.
Kellogg's final evaluation cleared the hospital's surgical review
board.
"Hi Mel, I'd like you to meet Leslie Summers. We don't know the baby's
name."
Melanie smiled widely and offered her manicured hand. "Welcome to my
home, Leslie. We already have a room ready for you and the baby."
There was no hand offered back. The girl just held the baby tight and
stared at the proffered hand. "... and she's not my baby, she's Beth, my
wife!"
"Huh!!" Melanie stepped back and stared at Dr. Kellogg. "Is she for
real?"
"That's what I want to find out. It's quite a story, but she'll have to
share it with you herself... that is if or when she wants to."
"Well, you're the best at that stuff, Doc. I assume you'll be staying
here too."
"Not, not entirely. I'll be devoting my days to Leslie's case, but
you'll have to be her custodian whenever I'm not here."
"I can do that. As you know, I'm basically a rich lonely lay about
anyway," she laughed at her own self-deprecation. "So I guess I need
the company. Having a baby in the house will be different, but it might
be good experience if they ever get reproductive organ transplants
perfected."
"There's always adoption, of course."
"Yea, but it's just not the same. Look at Leslie there," her lips
trembled and a tear formed. "I'm so jealous."
"Ha!" was Leslie's contemptuous reaction. "I'm sure as hell not looking
forward to it!"
"But you're a mother already. Don't you love her?"
Eyes rolled back in frustration. "Haven't you been listening? Maybe
your roots are blonde! I'm not this baby's mother, damn it. She was my
wife! I can't make it any clearer than that!"
Dr. Kellogg intervened before things could get any more confusing.
"Melanie, why don't you show Leslie and Beth to their room so they can
get settled in."
They were given a short tour of the modest tri-level home first. On the
main level were the living room, kitchen, dining room, a partial
bathroom, and double garage. The short stairwell to the lower level
opened into a large multi-purpose room with a wide glass double-door
beyond which was a huge covered patio with a brick barbeque, and hot
tub. To the side of the large grass yard was a mid-sized pool with a 5'
max depth. Above on the third level was a large master suite, two other
bedrooms, and a full bath.
"Leslie, we've set up the master suite for you and the baby," Melanie
declared. "You'll find everything you need there."
Ella looked in the room and gasped. "How did you do all that so
quickly? I only talked to you a couple of hours ago."
"I'm a very resourceful person, Doc. You know that all too well. And I
have the means to do whatever I please. It was just a matter of calling
in a few favors from some ladies that had what was needed and greasing
their purses to get the responses needed."
Leslie likewise surveyed the suite with disbelief upon finding
everything she had wanted and needed to properly care for Beth. Besides
the expected king-size bed, and large oak dresser, there was a
bassinette, changing table, playpen, and tall white multi-drawer
bureau.
For the first time some of the petulance and irritability seemed to
mellow. "I... why are you doing this? You don't know me from Adam, and
you certainly don't owe me anything. Why do all this for a complete
stranger?"
"Let's just say I'm a softy for a good story... Oh, and I'm a tad selfish
too. I liked the prospect of having a baby in my house to possibly help
me investigate the strong maternal bent in my therapy that I've noticed
lately." She stared pointedly at Dr. Kellogg, who only smirked and
shrugged her wide shoulders.
As soon as Leslie was left in her room to get settled and organized,
she ripped off the ugly green dress she'd been wearing, removed the
industrial nursing bra, and rummaged through the dresser and closet
until she found a single pair of pale lilac sweats that fit. She hated
the color, but they were the least girly thing she could find to wear,
and that was her goal. Unfortunately, she was soon forced to
acknowledge two very unpleasant truths (at least for her). First, the
top was a lot tighter than the pair she had worn before, and she hated
the way her breasts shown prominently under the top. And second, within
an hour wet spots appeared. All her cursing and protesting couldn't
erase the necessity for a nursing bra and absorbent padding. The string
of profanities that Melanie heard would have made a longshoreman blush
when Leslie found the small selection of nursing bras and had to put
one on. The only other concessions she gave to normal female attire was
the necessity for panties, since there was nothing else available for
that purpose, and she had never been one to go commando, even if it did
had to be frilly girly stuff.
Leslie was given some time to settle in and acclimate to her
surroundings before Dr. Kellogg began analysis. However, she made it
extremely difficult to control or manage her in any way. Her only
concession, and it was barely that, was to ensure that little Beth was
cared for. She never seemed to enjoy the task, generally grimacing and
appearing otherwise extremely uncomfortable whenever the baby was
nursing.
Without Dr. Kellogg around to help most the time, Melanie did her best
to encourage some semblance of feminine behavior, but it was a constant
struggle. It was a major effort to convince her to wash, condition, and
brush her long hair to keep it modestly groomed. Makeup was out of the
question. As with the panties, she compromised on deodorant since only
the female variety was all that was available, but not without
continuous complaints about the indignities imposed upon her by her
'situation'.
Despite all the amenities that Melanie had provided, Leslie rarely left
her room except for meals. Best Melanie could determine was that she
spent most of her time either sleeping, watching television, or caring
for the baby. There was no knowing whether she used any of the
available feminine attire, even to bed, since all she ever wore outside
the suite were sweatpants and the plainest tops she could find.
Chapter 3 - Getting Started
Finally after a few days, Dr. Kellogg coaxed Leslie out of her
isolation and they began closed-door sessions in Melanie's den.
"Make yourself comfortable Leslie and we'll get started."
She flopped down on the short couch and grimaced when her large bosoms
shuddered in their confinement. "I'm not crazy Doc, no matter what
those stupid cops put in their reports," she protested unequivocally,
shoving an errant lock of hair from her face like it was a deadly
snake.
"I read the reports of course, then discussed your case at length with
Lieut. Vasquez. She doesn't believe you, but given the story you're
telling it's highly unlikely that anybody ever will. We both think
there's something more to it, and I personally think it's not the whole
story. So I'm here to work with you, and give you a chance to explain
yourself in detail. Maybe we'll actually get you and little Beth the
help that you so obviously need."
"Ha, I think you've already made up your mind that I'm crazy just like
everybody else has," she scoffed.
"I'm a professional Leslie. Others are welcome to make their own
judgments based on what's available, but I'm never satisfied with just
some sketchy details. I want to be your sounding board. I want you to
talk about anything you want to talk about, and I literally mean
anything. You've got to realize that I'm here to determine whether
you're institutionalized or maybe possibly go to prison, and if that
happens where would that leave little Beth?"
Leslie's suspicious glare suddenly turned to fear. "We've got to stay
together Doc, there's no other way about it. If we are ever separated,
we're probably both doomed to this miserable existence we're stuck
with."
"Okay then, maybe if you start at the beginning and explain everything
in as much detail as possible, I'll do everything within my power to
help you however you want to be helped."
Leslie took on a sober demeanor as she sat up straight and tried to
read Dr. Kellogg's sincere expression. "Look, I haven't been able to
trust anybody for a while now, especially since they all think I'm a
loony toon. Why should you be in a different?"
Dr. Kellogg gazed over steepled fingers. "Because, like I said, I'm a
professional. No matter what I see or hear about a subject and events,
I always let them speak for themselves. I'm a therapist Leslie, just
like if you had a broken leg and needed help with exercises to get it
healthy again. Frankly, the initial assessment is that you're not
mentally healthy, and that's my field of expertise. So you should at
least try trusting me. Nothing you say or share with me will leave this
room unless you allow it. Fair enough?"
The pleasant looking woman leaned back silently and stared at the walls
for several minutes before finally making a decision. "Okay Doc," she
declared without much enthusiasm, "you've seen the police transcripts
of their interviews with me. When I tried to honestly explain why I was
driving that car and who we were, they decided immediately that I was a
nut job. There's a lot more to it than that, a whole lot more."
"I'm listening."
Chapter 4 - Leslie's Opens Up
For starters my Christian name really is Leslie Summers, but I was born
male. I won't go into boring details between then and a few months ago
except to say that I was recruited straight out of college by a major
business conglomerate and did very well for myself. My greatest
accomplishment was convincing Beth Marie Jacobs to marry me. She was a
beauty and I still love her dearly, even as she is now. And that's
where our story really gets into the nitty-gritty.
After a few years we were ready for kids but it just wasn't happening.
There was nothing wrong with either of us, it was just one of those
things where the stars never aligned properly. And Beth's frustration
with the situation was the root cause of what happened to us.
My wife was into antiques and collectibles, like some of those guys you
see on TV nowadays. She even worked part time in a little curio shop
that takes consignments from people. She was always bringing home some
of the weirdest stuff that she just simply had to have.
I didn't think it was big deal even though the house started really
getting cluttered, so I indulged her because it made her happy and that
made me happy.
Then one day she brought home the most god-awful necklace that looked
like it had seen its best days a couple of centuries ago. It was a
small pendant on an old worn chain. The front looked like it might've
been an angel at one time, but could've just as easily been some
satanic figure. There had been some markings like writing on the back
but it was worn down to just a few miscellaneous indentations. I told
her it was probably the ugliest piece of jewelry ever made, and she
insisted that was exactly why she thought it was so fascinating.
The unsightly bauble hung on a hook beside her vanity mirror for
several days until she finally decided to wear the darn thing.
It was a Friday night and we decided to go out to her favorite
restaurant. It was an upscale place so we usually dressed
appropriately. I was working on my tie when Beth came out of the walk-
in closet.
"Honey, do I look any different to you." Her tone was a bit strained
but I didn't pay much attention.
Then when she gasped sharply it got my attention. I looked up and
watched her hair grow right before my eyes and change from a light
brown with dark honey blonde. Her face was also changing slightly and
her breasts were growing. Within minutes she looked exactly like a
ditzy and very busty young college girl who frequented that weird shop
where she worked.
The woman who had been my wife just a few minutes earlier was highly
agitated. "I got this blouse of the shop the other day, and when I put
it on it touched this necklace and I got a really weird tingling
sensation. Now I look like Lily!"
I couldn't figure out how to react so I just asked, "Who the hell is
Lily?"
"She's a young busty blonde college girl who sometimes brings in her
old clothes for us to sell. This must've been one of hers, but how the
hell could it have changed me into her?"
It took a major mental effort to look at her gorgeous face instead of
that impressive new chest. "What was that about a tingle?" This was the
weirdest thing I'd ever seen!
"Oh... well... uh..." She was fidgeting around like something was making her
uncomfortable. "... yeah, when the blouse touched this necklace it
shocked me a little bit then there was a tickly sensation all over.
Damn, my boobies are really rockin'." Had my wife also become the ditsy
bimbo she now appeared to be?
"Honey, try to concentrate."
"I am, dearie... and I'm suddenly really horny." She batted her brand new
beautiful blue eyes at me. "Wanna do somethin' about it?"
Now this is where things get really confusing, because I could think of
nothing but doing exactly what that stunning creature suggested, and
with gusto! She was naked and on top of me before I could get out of my
shorts, and was soon riding me with an abandon that Beth would probably
have never imagined. I certainly wasn't complaining though, at least
not until she leaned over to French kiss me with her delicious cherry
lips.
While still inside her we had wrapped our arms around each other and
were concentrating on a thorough tongue and tonsil dance when I felt a
sudden and very strong sensation in my chest, almost like a small
electric shock. It was enough to break my concentration and I pushed my
lover up so I could look down. The necklace was between us when we
embraced and the pendant was touching my chest exactly where the
sensation had originated.
"Oh," gasped my altered wife, "there it was again."
"What the hell..." I started to swear when a lock of blonde hair fell
into my eyes. There was a harsh itching sensation in my nipples and
they grew huge in just seconds, then large breasts seemed to explode
from my chest.
I was so distracted by the realization that I was rapidly turning into
the same frisky blonde who I'd just been humping with abandon that I
almost didn't hear Beth's exclamation.
"Oh no, not you too!"
Somewhat less than half an hour later there were two Lily's in our
house, and there was absolutely no way that could be explained away to
any reasonable thinking person.
Beth was amused. "Well, hon, you've always liked busty women, so how do
you like having a nice juicy pair of your own?" she taunted with way
too much joy, and at my expense.
Those damned boobs were bouncing and swaying every time I moved! I was
furious, and those damned nipples were itching for attention! "It's not
funny," I whined in the same high-pitched twitter that came from both
our throats. "What the hell do we do now?"
"How should I know? It's just as much a mystery to me as it is to you."
She was staring at me with a look that I was all too familiar with. Her
devious little mind was brewing up something that I probably wasn't
going to like.
"Maybe it's just temporary and we can change back." She pulled off the
necklace and retrieved my dress shirt from the floor where I'd tossed
it during our recent frenzy.
I grumbled and tried to avoid the incredibly sensuous sensations coming
from my curvaceous body while Beth dropped the trinket over my head,
pulled my long blonde hair free, and touched my shirt to the object
that had nestled itself in my sizable cleavage.
Nothing happened.
She tried the same routine with one of her own blouses.
Still nothing.
"Maybe it needs some time to recharge?" she mused without a lot of
confidence.
"Yeah," I whined, "and maybe we're stuck like this. How the hell do we
explain that there are two more bimbo Lily's in the world?" I was
scared to death, and was starting to whimper uncontrollably.
"We can't panic, Les... at least not yet." She was always the more level
headed of the two of us, and handled a crisis far better than I ever
did. "Let's wait for at least an hour and try again. And keep trying
until it does work."
I wasn't easily convinced or consoled. "I want to be a guy again."
"Awe, sorry love." My tears must have penetrate her armor a bit. "I was
so caught up in my own changes I didn't think about how you'd cope with
being turned into a woman. Of course, there are worse things, but
you're right to worry."
I was curled up on the bed, trying to ignore my breasts swished against
my knees while Beth put the necklace back on its consigned hook beside
her mirror. "Maybe we should find something to wear and maybe fix some
dinner while we wait, eh?" She began looking through her copious
collection of undies. "I don't have any bras big enough, but most of my
other stuff should fit.
Having fallen into a minor stupor, I simply followed Beth's lead and
dressed in what she provided. I wasn't too thrilled about dressing in
women's clothes, but what choice did I have. Naked wasn't an option,
most definitely. And besides, Beth's plan seemed to resonate, so I
meekly went along.
We often fixed dinner together, but this was the strangest of all those
times. Beth looked nice in a flowery sundress that was big enough to
accommodate her new busty dimensions, and she wanted me to wear
something similar, but I couldn't bring myself to wear a dress of any
sort. So we compromised on a puffy peasant blouse and grey stirrup
pants.
I couldn't believe now big my hips and butt were, or my tiny waist.
Unfortunately, dealing with unfettered breasts of exceptional size took
a lot of getting used to. They bounced and swayed with every motion,
and even walking was a totally distracting experience. In addition, my
manual dexterity was terrible since I wasn't used to small hands and
long bright red nails.
Anyway, the next several hours passed with increasing anxiety when
every successive attempt to undo our transformations was met with
abject failure. The stress was exhausting and we eventually found
ourselves returning to bed sometime shortly before dawn. Even though
totally drained of energy, I still found it difficult to find a
comfortable position with double-D's hanging from my chest.
I woke up from a bizarre dream only to realize it was all too real.
Those giant boobs were still on my chest and a tangled mess long hair
in my face. I looked around and found Beth/Lily intently staring at the
computer. She was wearing one of her old nylon nighties that did little
to hide her gorgeous blonde bombshell body. It was a second before I
realized that I was lusting after an exact copy of what I had too.
"Are you ready to try again?" I sleepily asked without much hope.
She turned and stared at me calmly for a short moment before answering.
"You know Les, if I was a guy I'd be all over you right now. Damn that
body is hot!"
"Don't remind me." Despite my discomfort I couldn't stop staring at her
magnificent boobs. "And you didn't answer my question."
"Oh babe I am so ready! And I know it's gonna work this time, but do
you really want to change back?" She was looking at my chest with an
arched eyebrow.
I hadn't realized I was rubbing my breast and exciting the nipple.
Damn, those things are sensitive. "Oh... huh, yeah sure, of course, bit
why are you so sure it'll work this time?"
She got excited and rubbed her hands together gleefully. "Because I
found our mysterious necklace on the web and it's the most amazing
thing you can imagine. It's actually magic, and there's a lot of stuff
out there about it."
"That's nuts, there's no such thing as magic!" I exclaimed while
realizing that was probably the only explanation or what happened to
us.
"Look in the mirror and tell me that."
"Okay," I conceded, "get the damn thing and let's get changed back."
"Don't you want to know what I found?"
"I'd rather have my comfortable male self back first, if you don't
mind."
"Oh... uh... sure." She grabbed the necklace and unceremoniously dropped it
on my chest without looping it around my neck then touched it with a
pair of my male briefs. There was the same familiar tingle shock, but
that was no guarantee since nothing had happened before.
I cannot describe how incredibly relieved I was when those huge
memories on my chest began to shrink. About half an hour later I was
back to my old male self again. Strangely I almost missed those nice
boobs, but not enough to want them back.
Meanwhile, Beth had also gotten herself restored using one of her
blouses.
"Remind me to never again admire women with big tits," I sighed in
utter relief.
Chapter 5 - Rules and Experiments
"Okay now come here," she beckoned, "and I'll tell you about the
Medallion of Zulo."
It sounded like a really strange thing, but I took a moment to pull on
some shorts and a T-shirt before joining her in front of the computer.
"This thing has apparently been around for ages, but it's only
mentioned in crazy fiction stuff. Near as I can tell nobody believes it
is actually real and from what I've seen if they ever found out that it
was, well the ugly thing would be worth a small fortune. But the first
and most important thing to remember is that any changes are locked in
for a minimum of 12, then it can be used again."
I was shocked, amazed, and extremely interested.
Once she showed me where to look I retrieved my laptop and we divided
our efforts, reading all the themed fiction stories about the 'altered
fates' of supposedly fictional people who encountered the magical, the
vast majority of whom ended up stuck in a very unpleasant situation
when the Medallion invariably disappeared under mysterious
circumstances. It reminded me of the old Monkey's Paw fable where
wishes were granted but never as the wisher intended and always with
unpleasant or even catastrophic results.
Eventually we are back together and began comparing notes.
"It looks like it's pretty hard to hang on to the thing," I observed.
Beth was looking a bit distracted. "You know what, I don't really care
about all the warnings and all the mystery. I'd like to hang onto it
for as long as we can."
I was stunned. "After what it just did to us, and what we've learned,
you want to keep the cursed thing?"
"Of course, why not? It has so much potential. We can have a lot of fun
with it."
"You gotta be kidding! What if even some of those stories about that
thing are true, even though they're on weird fiction websites? There
are damn few of them where the people who encountered it ended up in a
good situation."
"That doesn't mean it can't be good for us," she argued.
I had long ago learned by bitter experience that once Beth got her mind
set on something there was no shaking her.
So we had the mysterious Medallion of Zulo in our possession, at least
for as long as it allowed.
Beth immediately began making suggestions for its use, all involving
using it to change us in some way. After the previous hours, the thing
made me uncomfortable and I told her so. To which she replied that she
wouldn't ask me to do anything I didn't agree to beforehand.
So I indulged my wife, or other more often tolerated it, whenever she
wanted to use it.
The first concession I demanded was that we only use it on weekends and
holidays when nothing was planned. We didn't have much of a social life
and none of our families lived nearby, so that wasn't much of an
obstacle. But the second was that she never ever turn me into a woman
again. She grumbled something about seeing how the other half lives,
but accepted.
For a while it was all good. I became comfortable with Beth's
'experiments', and even liked some of them. She accumulated a wide
variety of clothing and used various items to change us. New items gave
us whatever features they dictated, with our bodies remaining what we
would have been borne with to accommodate them. For instance, I got a
pair of tall pants and gained several inches, while Beth did the same
with a 'tall girl's' dress. Conversely, if the item was 'pre-owned',
we'd alter into a perfect copy of whoever wore it last. This worked for
our old clothes as well, so I got my former trim college body back and
Beth could fit into her high school prom gown again.
That's how things stayed for a long time, playing around with different
looks and bodies, and (of course) translating many alterations into
bedroom antics.
Frankly, I actually enjoyed the ones where we made simple changes. But
when she turned us both into midgets, that was a very long and highly
uncomfortable twelve hours! There were other 'episodes', a lot of which
I don't even remember now, although most were pleasant if not downright
enjoyable.
Chapter 6 - The Cabin
What got us here (she looked down at the baby she was unconsciously
rocking in her arms), was our annual summer vacation at a place we call
'retreat lake'. It's a large isolated log cabin beside a private lake
that we rented from friends for two weeks every year, like a timeshare.
We always packed everything we'd need for the entire stay to avoid any
contact with humanity for the duration. It was our way of unraveling
ourselves and purging the frenzy of our normal daily lives. Afterwards,
we were always refreshed and ready to face suburbia again.
Fortunately, we have a SUV that Beth drives (I prefer the Mustang), so
I wasn't surprised when she added three large bags to the load we were
packing for the long trip into the mountains. She only shrugged and I
knew there were plans that I'd have to endure.
To her credit, the necklace didn't come out until our second day there.
Then it came out! She insisted that we change as often as possible
using the variety of items she'd packed. So every twelve hours was a
different experience. We fixed our meals, ate, slept, made love, and
even went swimming, knowing that anyone who knew us would not recognize
the couple that they saw.
There had been a few awkward moments like when we were 'little people'
or adjusting to being other races (Asian, black, middle eastern). But I
must admit that it was mostly fun, entertaining, and far more erotic an
experience that we'd ever shared before.
But only a few days before we were to pack up and leave, Beth asked,
"Honey, do you trust me?"
For the first time since arriving at the cabin, we had just enjoyed a
pleasant love session in our original 'native' selves.
"That's a dumb question. I love and trust you. What makes you have to
even consider asking such a question?"
"Because there are a couple of things I'd like to do with the necklace,
and I need you to trust me without knowing what's coming in advance."
"Whooo, now look, Hon, I'm all for experimenting but..."
She looked terribly disappointed by my reaction. "... but you said you
trust me."
'Oh crap', I thought. She's dug me a hole and I jumped right in! "Ok,
ok, let's get it over with." I hadn't a clue what to she had planned,
except that I probably wasn't going to like it.
Beth touched me with the necklace and something that I easily
recognized. "Damn Beth, that's a diaper!"
"Yes dear. Remember, we decided a while back that it was time to start
our family. Well, it hasn't happened yet, and I wanted to see what it's
like to care for a baby. It'll only be for the minimum twelve hours, I
promise."
"Bu... wha... ." I was already half my normal size and had lost my
voice. My last clear image was of Beth touching a large nursing bra to
herself.
I can recall very little of the following hours, only fragmented
memories of suckling on a huge nipple and the wonderful warm sensation
in my stomach. Then there was the discomfort when I needed my diaper
changed. The only way I could communicate was with laughter or crying,
and everything was on automatic. I had no cognitive control. My
existence was cyclic, feeding, changing, playing with the pretty
objects that floated above me in bed, and sleeping. One of the greatest
impressions was the feeling of overwhelming contentment and security
when being held firmly against her bosom and feeling her heart beat, or
the vibrations in her chest when she hummed lullabies.
Chapter 7 - Switcheroo
I was so relieved to awaken with an adult body, it took me a moment to
realize that I was a woman... again! Worse yet, there was a man lying
next to me in bed wearing only a pair of briefs that covered his large
manhood. Predictably, I on the other hand was totally naked!
"That was so wonderful," the stranger said, "I almost kept us that way
for a while longer, but I kept my promise."
"The hell you did," I fumed in a girly voice that carried none of the
emphasis I'd intended. "You know how much I hate this female crap!"
"But you said you trusted me, and I wanted to try this while we're
here. Besides, I'm terribly curious about what it feels like," she
pouted, knowing how much I hated the very implication of what she might
be suggesting.
"That's sick!" I retorted angrily. "I don't want another guy living
here for five minutes, let alone twelve hours! We come up here to be
together. Why do you want to spoil it?"
Damn, she was pouting! "I'm sorry, but we've played with that thing so
much, well... I was hoping you'd go along with me on this." She didn't
let me voice my obvious protest. "I know you hated being Lily, but I
figured you'd be okay with it if we toned it down, so I used a new pair
of panties. You're the woman you'd have been if borne female... and
honey, you're gorgeous!"
The memory of Lily's huge tits on my chest caused a chill and goose
bumps. But my current frontage was far less voluminous, still
definitely prominent though. Curly light brown hair brushed my
shoulders. "I..."
"I did the same with a new pair of men's briefs," he declared with
satisfaction.
I was too stunned to react, except to jump from the bed and lock myself
in the bathroom. Knowing it was impractical, it was still tempting to
stay there for the full duration, and leave 'him' to fend for himself.
"Les, honey, please don't be mad," he pleaded through the door. "Can't
you understand that this is something I had to do?" The deep throaty
male voice was heavily baritone.
I didn't respond. Being a woman was just too alien for me. The breasts,
hair, hips, butt, empty crotch... all felt extremely uncomfortable. It
was like being forced into a bodysuit, except the nipples were
incredibly sensitive, and I needed to pee!
Eventually, after I'd dealt with the sanitation issues, the noises from
beyond the door indicated that Beth was rummaging around in the
kitchen. So with considerable nervousness, I ventured out to find
something to wear. Regardless of our isolation, wandering around naked
wasn't an option, especially with Beth nearby in full male mode.
Hating the necessity of donning femme clothing, I searched the bedroom
for anything that I could handle without gagging. Beth's panties fit
reasonably well, so I used the plainest white cotton that covered the
most, but the material pressed firmly against my flat crotch felt
bizarre. I'd already realized that going braless probably wasn't a good
option. My C-cups weren't that huge, but they still bounced and swayed
with every step or motion, so containing them was needed for my
physical comfort (not mental though). Unfortunately, Beth's bras didn't
fit, not even the nursing bra she'd recently used. So I was forced to
go without. However, I did find a crop top that fit snuggly enough to
give some support. On the down side, it was very thin, and the bumps of
my nipples on display. I also found a pair of her chopped shorts that
fit well enough, and a pair of clogs for my feet.
Since I was constantly pushing hair from my face, I brushed out some of
the tangles and struggled with a scrunchie to get most of it pulled
into a ponytail. Then I went out to face the male version of my spouse.
I had to admit that he was ruggedly handsome, with short brown hair
that was thinned a bit around the widow's peekpeak. He was still bare-
chested, but had put on a pair of jean shorts in the warm summer air.
His body was toned, with large biceps and thighs (ulp!), and six-pact
abs. He looked like he worked out a lot.
"You don't expect me to...?" I groaned, trying to avoid eye contact while
every perverse expletive that I'd ever heard came to my mind. "Why did
you do this to us? I'm a guy, not a pervert!"
He stared back with a tear on his cheek. (Damn, I hate that.) "You
already know what it feels like. Why can't you share this with me now?
It's only for a few hours, then we'll be done with it."
"Done? How?"
"This is one of the last things I've wanted to do with the necklace. If
you agree, and let me share this with you, when we get back I'll add
the necklace in the shop's jewelry and it'll be out of our lives. Will
that be enough for you?"
Despite the anxiety roiling in my brain, her suggestion made me realize
that I'd never wanted or especially enjoyed the necklace's impact on
our lives. I would be glad to be rid of it, and if being a woman for a
few hours would accomplish that I would grit my teeth and endure. "If
you keep that promise, I can live with it," I sighed with resignation.
He clapped his large hands had giggled like a giddy school girl. It was
a very weird reaction coming from that person.
"I've already started lunch. Would you mind if we make it kinda formal
and get dressed nicely?"
"Awe, what the hell, why not," I conceded. It was, after all, only for
a few hours, right? "But I didn't see any clothes that would work when
I was looking for something to wear."
"Did you check the closet?"
"Duh!" I groaned at the oversight.
We went back to the bedroom where I couldn't avoid the mirror
reflection of body that you see now, except these (hefting her chest)
are bigger for obvious reasons.
After handing me a dress, Beth pulled on a pair of black slacks and a
pale blue dress shirt.
I bowed to the inevitable, stripped off the crop top, dropped a flowery
yellow sundress over my head, and tugged it into place. The narrow
straps left my shoulders mostly bare, and the front exposed a generous
canyon of cleavage, while the hem hit my calves several inches above
the knees. When I pulled the scrunchie free and brushed out my hair, I
noticed that my ears were pierced and decided to go a little more
girlie with a pair of Beth's two-inch silver hoops. I knew that would
please her.
"Oh lord, Leslie, you're gorgeous," he reacted when I rejoined him in
the kitchen. "With a little makeup you'd be stunning."
Damn, I think I actually blushed! "Thanks Beth, you're pretty easy on
the eyes too."
"Would you mind calling me Bert? Beth doesn't work very well at the
moment."
"I'll try."
Chapter 8 - Surprises and Shocks
For the next several hours I simply submitted myself to 'Bert's'
expectations, even so far as to don a one-piece bathing suit for a
quick swim. It pressed into my crotch like nothing I'd ever felt
before, and the bodice exposed a lot of cleavage, but I managed to grit
my teeth and fend off Bert's playful antics in the water.
Later, after dinner, I was pulling on a pink knee-length nightgown
while estimating that the timer for changing was probably not until
early morning, and only the one bed that was available.
We needed some ground rules. "Bert?"
"What?" He was already stretched out on the king bed in his boxers.
"I know you did this expecting the most out of our situation, but I
can't do it, not even close. We haven't even kissed, and that's the way
I want it to stay." Unfortunately, he saw me quickly turn away when I
caught a glimpse of him staring at my bulbous chest, and I made the
mistake of glancing in the direction of his turgid member.
He grinned broadly, and shrugged with obvious disappointment. "Well, I
think we're missing a great chance to gain an understanding about each
other that we'll never have again. But I promised we'd do nothing you
didn't want, so if that's the way you want it, I'll concede just as
you've done for me so many times when I 'wasn't in the mood'." His
fingers did the quotes in the air between us.
"Thanks." I lay down as far from him as possible, almost falling off
the edge of the bed, and nervously doused the bedside lamp.
I was utterly relieved when he turned away and was seemingly asleep
within moments. But a twitch in my nipples and crotch made me wonder if
I'd really made the right decision.
I was consumed by a feverish dream in which I was thoroughly enjoying
the sensations caused by a mouth feverishly suckling on my nipple. A
rapidly building charge of passion reverberated between my nipples and
crotch. My legs were trembling when he pulled off my gown and panties,
then pushed his knees between my legs.
When he entered it burst into my consciousness that it was real. I was
being screwed... and it was wonderful!
"OH... oh... oh...!" I cried in mind-blowing synch with the rhythm, my legs
wrapped around his solid waist. The orgasms were pure ecstasy.
I was between peaks when he drove in to the hilt, froze, and there was
the distinct sensation of his divine muscle pulsating deep inside me.
When he exited and rolled away, my passion subsided and I realized with
sudden horror that it had been real. We'd had sex! It was even scarier
to realize that I'd liked it, and wouldn't object to doing it again!
"Oh my God, Beth..., what have we done?" I gasped, still feeling the
softening of my post-coital afterglow.
His heavy breathing was the result of a physical exercise with which I
was all too familiar. "I... I'm sorry... I couldn't stop."
It was almost funny. "Must be the hormones," I countered. "Testosterone
is probably a pretty heavy hitter if you're not used to it. But I grew
up with it, and you didn't. We both should have realized that might be
a problem when you did this to us."
Strange that I should be so calm and logical about our situation, but I
was probably experiencing some intense hormonal reactions that I wasn't
used to either. Hell, I was actually enjoying the delicious post-coital
tingle in my nipples, and was rubbing my lower belly while actively
considering the potential repercussions of what he had left behind.
He looped his arm across my chest, his fingers finding my sensitized
nipple. "Hmmm..." he sighed. "I never felt anything like that before in
my life. It's so intense, so... so focused."
My nipple was alive and demanding. I was shocked that I was actually
wondering how long it would take for him to recover! Then his mouth
found my unoccupied nipple and my brain succumbed to an intoxicating
pleasure that reverberated between my chest and crotch.
I rolled toward him to get more and he used my momentum to pull me
astride his narrow hips. Almost immediately I was aligning and then
pushing myself onto him until our crotch bones met. This position felt
even better, he was deeper, and I felt the shadow of building pressure
whenever his phallus impacted my cervix. I can never hope to describe
the incredible all-consuming sensations of multiple orgasms, one right
after another. And it went on for what seemed like forever.
Amazingly, we set a record that night... and got very little sleep in the
process. But hell, who cares. We were having some of the most
incredible sex either of us had ever experienced, and we didn't care
one whit that we were doing it as the opposite sex. It was great, and
that's all that mattered.
Chapter 9 - Baby Beth
We stretched our cross-gender experience well beyond the obligatory
twelve hours, but neither of us considered it to be wasted time.
Bert was playing with my nipples again, but this time we'd just
finished another 'bout' so it was soothing and comforting rather than
erotic.
"Honey, there's one more thing I'd like to do before we wrap things
up." Before I could respond he laid the medallion on my chest and
touched it with a bra.
"That's another twelve hours, Bert... Beth! Isn't that cutting it a bit
close."
"No, I don't think so. We'll have another full day afterwards as
ourselves to get packed and clean up the place before we have to
leave."
"But... what's this?" I grabbed the bra and found that it had nursing
flaps over the cups. "What the hell?"
He blushed. "This turnabout for us has been wonderful, Lessie, and I so
much enjoyed being your mother that I wanted you to experience it too."
She quickly seized the necklace and combined it with a diaper. "You
make sure to take care of me, darling. I know you're going to love
being a mother as much as I did... and will when we have our own."
I could do nothing but stare at 'Bert's' rapidly shrinking body. The
diaper was for a 'new born' and it was pink, so Beth would be back,
only this time as a very tiny infant... And I had to be her mother for
half a day!
While Beth was replaced by a tiny naked girl child, my chest inflated
to what the bra dictated, double-D. The skin was stretched tight, the
flesh extremely firm with several blue veins showing prominently on
their pale bulbous flesh. They were the consistency of weight balls in
a gym, and when I hefted one a drop of white liquid oozed from the
large engorged tat. I was a milk machine and Beth was to be the obvious
benefactor of my huge capacity.
I was jostled from my stunned stupor by a child's persistent cry. Damn,
did Beth need to be fed already? Hell, I didn't know whether it was
that or she was just mad because I hadn't given her any attention yet.
I tentatively picked her up like she was a delicate glass figurine, and
tried to cradle her gently in my arms. Instead of settling in, she
pushed her face forcefully into my boob, latched her tiny mouth onto my
nipple, and started suckling with a vengeance. What could I do but sit
there and wait for her to finish? Yet as she fed, I began to feel the
flow of nourishment from my own breast into her small helpless body.
Amazingly, a sense of pleasure began to work its way into my soul. I
felt a totally unique and unfamiliar connection growing between us, a
mounting sense of devotion to her well-being. The sensation was totally
new and incredibly satisfying.
I definitely didn't want to be a woman any longer than necessary, but
these past couple of days were certainly giving me a unique and
wonderful perspective on the female of the species. In the future, I
knew I'd appreciate Beth a whole lot more, and we'd be closer than we
could have ever been otherwise.
So, for those hours I fed, changed, and played with her, while finding
satisfaction and fulfillment in the experience. When moving around I
wore the same panties, sundress, and sandals as before, along with the
mandatory nursing bra that Beth had used on me (it wasn't optional).
Then when the time was finally gone, and I had resigned myself to
returning us to our original selves, the Medallion was nowhere to be
found!
I searched the entire cabin, my mind screaming at the implications. I'd
distinctly remembered Beth using it with the diaper on our bed, but it
wasn't there. I tore away the sheets... nothing. My frantic search became
more desperate with every passing hour, punctuated by Beth's care and
feedings. I even looked outside.
My new hormones were raging as I sat on the bare bed and bawled until
there were no more tears to shed. I was whimpering and wheezing when I
reached down to pull the sheets from the floor and heard the slightest
sound of metal on wood. I dropped like a rock and stared under the bed.
There was a tiny glint of reflected light amidst a mass of dust bunnies
piled against the wall beneath the headboard.
I'd found it! The relief was almost orgasmic... yet somehow muted by the
prospect of returning to our old humdrum lives. But it was inevitable.
Real Life demanded it.
Chapter 10 - Consequences
With a surprising degree of regret I contemplated my heavy inflated
bosom with the necklace nestled deep in the yawning cleavage. The
tingle when I touched my old briefs to it was both exciting and sad.
But the memories would most certainly last forever, right?
My hair began to shorten, those large mammaries began to shrink and I
felt a stirring between my legs. Then it stopped, and everything was
back within seconds! What the hell happened?
I frantically pulled out my laptop and repeated the web searches that
we'd made before, looking for a list of limitations that might apply to
me. My fingers were shaking as I scrolled through the rules and
stories. There were instances where small changes could be made within
the twelve hour window, like giving a female bigger boobs, changing
hair color, or adding nursing jugs. But everything confirmed my memory
that the only things that could prevent its function were all related
to a female's condition. It wouldn't work if she was either on her
period or...
Oh gawd NO!
I collapsed onto the bed and curled up in a ball, hoping that the world
would simply crush me there and end the agony.
We'd had frantic unprotected sex several times, never once considering
the horrific consequences. Or did we? Had I actually fantasized about
having a baby? Why the hell did a simply fantasy have to become so
unspeakably real?
I screamed so loud and high my woman's voice would have shattered glass
if it had been a note or two higher, and I'm sure the squirrels outside
were a bit startled. In my rage I pulled off the necklace that was
still sitting in my cleavage and tossed it in a way too girlie fashion
as hard as I could. My random aim sent it sailing through the open door
into the living area where I heard it slide across the hardwood floor.
I was devastated. Being stuck as a woman for almost a year was a
prospect that I considered too horrible to contemplate, even worse to
be pregnant and have to endure a baby growing inside me, which had to
come out eventually!
And what should I do about Beth. She'd have to be restored, and she
certainly didn't have any of the limitations that would prevent the
medallion working on her. So I managed to get through one final feeding
before changing her back, all the while struggling with how to explain
my shocking situation that she had caused.
Time was getting really tight and I had to get Beth restored so we
could figure out what to do. She was fed, changed, and sleeping when I
went looking for the necklace yet again. This time it was really and
truly GONE, and I discovered what happened to it. It had slid across
the floor and under a small table by the front door. There against the
wall was a floor board with a huge hole where a knot had once been. I'd
hit that gaping hole with that damned necklace from across the cabin!
When I tried reaching down for it, my slender feminine arm had plunged
all the way to my armpit, and found nothing but air.
The cabin had been built on a severe mountain slope with a thick
granite-and-mortar foundation. And, of course, our dubious future was
cast by the positioning of that table against the downhill wall where
the floor was at least four feet above the crawlway ground beneath.
I was frantic to retrieve the necklace. But the only options were to
either try smashing through the foundation, or tear up the flooring and
climb down. The former would have been impossible, and there were no
axes or saws available to accomplish the latter. Still, I had to find a
way to tear out enough of the floor to get down there, and the clock
was ticking! We had to be out of the cabin the next evening.
In desperation, I wasted precious time looking for anything that would
even have a remote chance of working. Only a meager supply of kitchen
gadgets had potential - a large carving knife, and a small meat
cleaver.
In my weakened female condition I had nowhere near the physical
abilities I'd had before. But I tried to ignore all the negatives,
pulled the heavy table clear of the hole (it was a lot heavier than it
looked, but I was a lot weaker). The finished hardwood planks were at
least half-an-inch thick and the knife hardly even scratched them. The
cleaver did only slightly better. But there wasn't enough time to dig
out small chunks of wood. Besides, added to my labor were the incessant
interruptions of Beth's seemingly never-ending maintenance. It was a
struggle to make any progress. I even tried prying up the boards at
their end joints, but bent the knife and chipped the cleaver in the
process.
After hours of anguished effort, the hole had increased by only a few
inches, and I'd broken two nails. I totally exhausted and defeated.
I was screwed again... by Beth (Bert?) and myself, but it was no less
painful since I'd screwed Beth too with my frustrated toss of the
pendant. I'd condemned her to growing up again. And I would have to
care for her.
DAMN... and double Damn!
Chapter 11 - Escape to Nowhere
In a stupor of melancholy and absolute depression I began packing with
interruptions to tend to Beth. When the SUV was finally loaded I was a
grubby mess, but didn't want to leave. It was too hard to turn my back
on even the most remote chance that the Medallion was retrievable.
So I decided to clean, washing my clothes while in the shower, since
I'd already packed everything else. I even conditioned my hair, then
sat naked on the porch brushing out the wet strands curls in the cool
morning breeze while the only clothes I could comfortably wear dried on
the porch banister.
But we had to leave, since there was no hope that I'd ever be able to
explain why we, the couple who'd rented the cabin, were gone and a
strange women and child were there instead.
The hardest thing I ever had to do in my life was turn my back on that
Medallion.
What I was driving toward I had no idea. Beth was secured as best I
could in a bundle of clothes under the seatbelt. It wasn't a decent car
seat, but it was the best I could manage.
That's the state we were in when that county patrolman pulled me over
for a broken tail light. I gave him the insurance and registration and
tried to explain that I was Leslie's cousin, but couldn't produce a
driver's license. He'd probably have been okay with that, especially
since he couldn't seem to keep his eyes off my cleavage. But when he
saw that Beth wasn't in a certified car seat, things got ugly.
I was so desperate, I tried to tell him what really happened and... well
it wasn't long after that when you brought me here.
Chapter 11 - Analysis and Report
Dr. Kellogg turned off the recorder and stared long and hard at his
patient. "You've certainly got a good explanation for why your finger
prints are the same as Mr. Leslie Summers. But you already know that
your story sounds like it came right out of those same fictional
stories you found on the web."
"I know that all too well, Doctor," Leslie replied with deep
resignation. "And I fully understand why no one believes me. Hell, I
wouldn't and I'm the one nursing my baby wife!"
"Oh, I didn't say I don't believe you, Leslie. I'm just confirming what
others already believe. However, as you know I'm a post-op, and work
every day with folks like myself. Do you realize that most of my male
patients would give their lives and fortunes to be where you are now?"
"Then they're crazy."
"To some, yes, but did you also know that most in the transsexual
community are very familiar with those websites and stories you found?"
"Huh!"
"You must have realized by the number of stories about the Medallion of
Zulo that the 'Altered Fates Universe' and most call it is incredibly
popular among TS folks, and even more so among those who have
tendencies, wishes, or just simple interest in the wide variety of TS-
based facts and fiction."
"Well... Oh Melanie said something about envying me. I guess I can see
why now. Since I feel so trapped by this, it never occurred to me that
anyone would willingly subject themselves to such torture."
"You'd be surprised."

Record Archived in the private patient records of Dr. Ella Kellogg.
Final Analytic Evaluation:
Subject: Ms Leslie Summers
Submitted by: Dr. Ella Kellogg
To: His Honor, Judge Sheldon Carter
Subject Leslie Summers Ms Summers is a troubled young woman with the
added burden of a child to care for, and the looming prospect of
carrying and birthing another.
Against all efforts to dissuade, she insists with considerable clarity
that she was once the male of the same name, and that the infant she
identifies as 'Beth' is her former wife. In fact, subject relates with
exceptional detail a trauma of extraordinary detail but unverifiable
nature that resulted in their current physical situations.
The circumstances lay in the realm of science fiction, alien abduction,
or such, although the patient attributes their situation to a magical
necklace that has found some popularity among select websites that
cater to an eclectic readership, that being transgender fantasists.
Despite the subject's seemingly unstable feminine nature, she never
deviates for this explanation of her and the child's situation.
Subject's mental state is unstable, often morose, sometimes deepening
into depression. It is noted here that her 'condition' of pregnancy is
a direct contributing factor to her mental distress. Her mannerisms are
not feminine, and she rebuffs any effort to improve her looks. She
exhibits a resolute dislike for any feminine clothing, although she
tolerates panties and nursing bras (a must for her size, as well as
nursing the child). Otherwise, she wears sweats whenever available, or
simple shorts, pants, loose shirts, etc. When asked congenially if
she'd like to join her housemate for her weekly salon visit, the answer
was a provocative, "F... off!" Sadly, she would be quite pretty if some
effort was made with hair and makeup, but she'll have none of it. She
has, however, shown very tentative signs that her masculine tendencies
are shifting. She likes her long hair, and always wears large hoops in
her pierced ears. She has also been observed tentatively experimenting
makeup, specifically lipstick and eye shadow.
Conclusion:
It is the considered judgment of this analyst that the subject has
experienced some unknown trauma, possibly as serious as rape, that has
warped her perception of her own reality. However, she is otherwise
intelligent, rational, and capable of reasonable thought and actions.
The consensus of the arresting officer, his chain of command, and this
analyst is that no further court action is warranted. Furthermore, any
such action should be avoided since any public release of records that
are impossible to explain rationally.
We jointly agree that Ms Summers should be allowed to continue and cope
with her life as best she can, without media clamoring to understand
the unexplainable facts that both Ms Summers and her child Beth's
finger prints and DNA are perfect matches for those of the couple of
the same name who disappeared without a trace at approximately the same
time that Ms Summers and Beth were stopped on the highway.
Therefore, it is recommended that she remain in the care of her current
housemate who has generously agreed to provide shelter and whatever
support is needed for as long as is necessary. This analyst will also
provide additional support on a gratis basis.
--------------------------------------------------
Case # D7-4935-Z4 - Court Record of Judgment
Judge Sheldon R. Carter, Presiding
The defendant is accused of 'grand theft auto', 'driving without a
license', and 'child endangerment'. Regardless of her explanation
regarding the circumstances and the match of her and the child's names
to a local missing couple, there is no evidence of any relation.
However, this court is perplexed by the forensic evidence presented for
this case, which actually supports her relationship argument. Yet,
there's never been any case where two people have verified identical
prints, much less two different such cases.
Therefore, given the complicated nature of this case, and based on the
recommendations of law enforcement and mental health expertise, it is
the judgment of this court that the defendant receive six months
probation, during which time she and her infant charge are remanded to
the custody of Doctor Ella Kellogg and her assistant Ms Melanie Brooks.
Reports will be provided weekly to this court regarding Ms Summers'
progress toward normal integration into society. It is also recommended
to federal, state, and local officials that Leslie and Beth Summers be
provided with whatever official documents are needed.
Case closed:

Chapter 13 - End Game
"You're next appointment is here," announced the receptionist via the
intercom.
Dr. Kellogg jumped at the interruption. "I thought this was
