I Dunno.

Bob had thought he was going crazy. It started with little things seemingly being in the wrong place, going from one location to another like magic. Then the changes got bigger. His office seemed to have a new layout; there were people at work he didn’t recognize. He ultimately decided to leave early and pick up some medicine from the drug store, so he could go home and get some rest. That’s when things got really weird.

Signs in a foreign language popped up in the store. His body shrank in his suit as he changed races and genders. As he pulled out his wallet, he pulled out his card. “Mihn Vu? Who the hell is that?” He asked.

“Happening to you, too, eh?” The cashier asked.

“Wait...you can tell something is wrong also!? What the hell is happening? Is all of humanity transforming into women? What’s going on?”

“I dunno. But it seems to be random. Guys like us turning into women, sure! But I’ve definitely seen the other way around a few times today as well. Sometimes people know it’s happening to them; other times they’re oblivious.”

“Oblivious? But how is it possible to just forget who you are! I mean, I know I used to be...um...used to be...” It was on the tip of his tongue, but the only name Bob could come up with was ‘Mihn,’ which he was sure was wrong. Wasn’t it?
