Shattered

Scott tossed the small item into the air as he crossed the street. The strange man had given him this thing, explained it was magic, and then just seemed to disappear into a crowd of people. Magic? Yeah, right. The whole idea seemed stupid to Scott.

But after the third or fourth toss, he dropped the item onto the street. It shattered spewing forth a strange swirling light, which began to gather around Scott.

He could feel his body changing, but there was little he could do to stop it. Within an instant he had been transformed into a woman and the light dissipated. The item now shattered into dust on the street. It seemed he would be stuck like this.
