Polyhymnia O'Keefe Wakes Up As Scorpion
Jun. 25th, 2010 06:30 amI woke up, alone, but only mildly disappointed by that fact. I knew I'd be seeing Zell early on. I sat up, stretched, and rolled my shoulder to work out a twinge. As I put my hand on my shoulder, I suddenly realized I wasn't wearing my nightshirt. Then, when Iooked down at myself, I suddenly realized I didn't have any breasts.
"Oh, no! Not again!"
My hand immediately went to my throat. The last time the Island had taken my breasts away, it had de-aged me to a twelve-year-old. My twelve-year-old self sang soprano. That was no soprano.
"What?" I said huskily. "Hey! What?!"
I jumped out of bed, and found myself wearing black boxer shorts. And surprisingly hairy legs. I looked up as I contemplated this revelation. Then I looked down. Biting my lip, I reached down and gently touched the area between my legs...
"Oh, my God!"
Mirror. I needed a mirror! But this man I inhabited didn't have a mirror! Typical male! Could this day get any worse?!
I ran out of the hut in search of a mirror -- and immediately clonked my head on a low branch.

I looked up from my place on the ground. "Ow!"

"Lets, just go in. And try to not hurt yourself."
When this was all back to normal, she promised herself not to go into details about this-it would make Scorpion commit hari kiri for sure.
