What in the world had happened to me?
I stopped at the home of Emma Winslow, a woman who works under me in my department. I wanted to ask her if she could end her maternity leave a week early.
I really needed her help at the office.
Then, as I was walking down the street, my clothing vanished right off my body! I thought I was dreaming. Then, my clothes reappeared and, when I get to
Emma's house, I find a boy who saw my clothes disappear (he told me he'd seen it). He's Emma's son, Joe, I think.
Anyway, I talk with him a little, when, suddenly, I start to SHRINK! It was too real to have been a hallucination. If felt my legs sliding up my pantyhose. The
sleeves of my blazer and blouse began to bunch up on my arms and finally fall when my hands got too small. And, I swear, I felt the cups of my bra start to --
empty! I peeked down my front and -- there was nothing there! Just a couple of little mosquito bites where my breasts used to be! I hadn't been enormous or
anything, but I was pleased with what I'd had -- so were most men I knew.
Joe tried to put me back in my outfit, and then, I was only wearing a diaper and blanket. My business outfit, my nylons, my shoes, had all vanished! And my purse
turned into a diaper bag!
Then, in came Emma. She picked me up (!), looked at me and seemed upset that I had on make-up! Like she didn't wear it at work! She carried me into her
bathroom, and began to wash my face. In fact, she took off the diaper, and began to wash me, naked, in the sink!
I tried talking to her, asking her what she thought she was doing. But, then, I discovered I didn't have teeth anymore! And I couldn't get my tongue to work right. I
just made some gurgling noises.
After she finished washing me, she wrapped a towel around me. She smiled at me, and then turned me around to face a mirror. I think she said "How does that
look?"
I WASN'T THERE!!! I couldn't see myself ANYWHERE in the mirror! Instead, I saw Emma, and a baby, only a few weeks old! She was naked and held in a
towel -- just like the one Emma had wrapped around ... me?
IT WAS ME!!! I WAS A BABY!!! I was bald as an egg! The body, the shape I had worked so hard to keep slim and hard was now a little mass of soft baby fat!
I tried to understand it. I was a businesswoman! I'd risen high in the company. My picture has been in BUSINESS WEEK and MONEY! I was considered one of
the most powerful female executives in the world. And now -- I was helpless. I had to depend on someone else for my care!
I felt furious! I don't think I've ever had so much rage as I had at that moment, seeing myself returned to infancy! I was ready to scream, to tell Emma to put me
down and call my lawyer! But only one thing came out of my mouth.
WWWAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
