Jen woke up thinking that her call with Kyle must have just been a bad dream. Until she saw her hands.
Or rather, her feet.
Jen was in shock. The town curse really was real. Jen's hands had been replaced feet. And, if her hands were now feet, then that would mean....
Jen slowly turned her head to look at the ends of her legs. Her feet had been replaced with her hands. Jen started to sob. She was a freak. Who could ever love her now?
Then Jen remembered one of her past boyfriends. He used to constantly be asking for pictures of her feet. He still occasionally asked her for more feet-pics. Jen thought it was odd, but she ate up his attention. Maybe someone could love her new, freaky body.
Jen took a closer look at her hands. She still had her thumb and part of her palm. Looking back at her feet, she could see that her each foot only had four fingers and still had a heel she could balance on.
Jen crawled out a bed and stood up on the balls of her "feet" and used her "toes" to dig into the floor like talons. Walking with her modified feet was awkward. She no longer had a sole to push off the ground with. She walked around like a chicken.
Jen spotted the missing sock of her Cheer Squad uniform. It looked different. Barely like a sock at all. It looked more like a weird, four-fingered glove. She picked it up with her claw-like, thumb-and-foot combo. She slipped her leg into the snug fit of her modified sock. She have her fingers an experimental flex. Her shows had changed, too. They looked more like saw-off sandals than actual shoes. Jen supposed that the extra room gave her new "toes" more space to move.
Jen had little problems getting the rest of the way ready for school. Finer levels of control was difficult, but she still had her thumbs in the right place and that was what really mattered.
She poked at her phone and sent a message to her old boyfriend, asking him if he wanted to get back together while sending a picture of her hands.
For the first time in her life, Jennifer Smith felt like the was truly unique. Maybe the cursed life wasn't so bad after all.
