Cries

The first thing that Ralph noticed after the Great Shift wasn’t his new female body, it was the crying baby. As with most people, he found himself in a new body as a result of the Shift. In particular, he was in a woman’s body who had been parking her car at the mall with her child in the backseat. He tried to comfort the child, but it seemed to do little good. Once Ralph realized he was in a body that was quite the opposite of his own, he wondered if the baby had a similar fate. Perhaps an elderly person was stuck inside the child’s body, unable to communicate frustration beyond tears. He needed to find other people to ask. He had to walk slowly towards the mall; he didn’t want to risk falling on his new heels and dropping the baby.
