Sniper


Brian was so excited to be shopping Meltanik Colony, a modern world deep in the Sagittarius Arm of the galaxy. A terrorist warning had been issued, but security in the tourist areas was high. Brian felt safe as he enjoyed his first off-world vacation.

A sniper was reported in the area. Brian surmised it wasn’t serious as many locals were out and about without worry. It was Brian’s first day on Meltanik Colony when he saw the flash. There was no sound. Brian saw the flash of light in the hills above the outdoor mall.  He looked around to see if anyone was hurt. All he saw was a woman patting herself down. Must’ve thought she was hit, Brian thought.

Another flash. Again, no sound. It felt different this time. Brian felt a tingle when he caught the flash from the corner of his eye. He started to look around when he felt… less clothed. He looked down. He was wearing a dress! And he had, ah, well, boobs!

Brian knew what it was immediately. The locals were not worried because the sniper was using a military grade girly light rifle. A transformation like this at TG Incorporated would cost a year’s wages. But Meltanik Colony had a policy of protecting tourists. Brian would be given a choice of new identification papers for his new body or a transformation back.

Brian was undecided. The college girl behind the tourist center counter handed him identification papers and said, “If you want to transform back, bring in your papers at any time before you leave the colony.” Brian opened the documents: Sophie. With such a pretty name he might just keep the body.
