Axel couldn’t believe he was having a panic attack of fear as he walked through this alley. He had walked through the alley a hundred times, but those had all been before the Great Shift.
He thought about the body he used to have -- large and imposing, able to bench press 400 pounds. And then he thought about the body he had now -- small and female, nearsighted, just over 90 pounds, and unable to even open jars on her own.
Desite all he really needed to be reminded of his current situation was a quick glance down, he often acted like he was still large and imposing. And so he found often found himself in over his head, starting bar fights or taking on things he just couldn’t handle. It was the same when he went down this creepy alleyway. Halfway through, he was simply reminded of his new body, and what he might encounter terrified him.
