Officer Charlene “Charley” Hills went about her beat as usual. As the brunette walked down the city block, she casually looked out for anything with a smile as she passed by commuters. She had just come from eating lunch at a local diner whose special left her feeling more energized than normal. Passing by an electronics shop, she caught a glance at news coverage reporting that today marked the day a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event; a special blue-tinted comet was making a pass over Earth. Officer Charley eventually passed through a flea market, where she stopped to buy a peculiar necklace with a small emerald embedded into it. The seller remarked on how it brought out the green in her eyes, which led to her purchasing it.
Continuing her walk, Officer Charley began to feel strange. The first thing she noticed was that her feet felt constricted within her boots and her belt pinched her at the waist.
