When talking about their bodies before the Great Shift and after, many would describe it as “the difference between night and day.” For Nicholas, that description was quite literal. He had been playing some ultimate Frisbee on his college quad in the afternoon when it happened. The bright light overcame the field and he was in the dark. It was now night. He was halfway around the world and now in a woman’s body at night. The distance was uncommon but not unheard of with the Shift, but being in a foreign country made it quite difficult for Nicholas, on top of the other chaos of just being in a foreign body. He felt odd as a woman; he felt odd to be a different race; he felt weird to be suddenly so far from home. It was really the difference between night and day.
