Kimberly opened her eyes and sat bolt upright in bed the moment a phone alarm went off under her pillow.
Kimberly didn’t like alarms. She never set them because they had a way of making her feel anxious when they went off, and she didn’t like it.
So, who could have set an alarm on her phone? She mused with a frown as she raised the pillow to take out the phone.
The moment she saw the phone, the crease between her brows deepened.
This wasn’t her phone. This was the latest iPhone, and she didn’t use iPhones.
Almost as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she noticed that something was different about her. She was feeling sort of funny.
While she was still trying to figure out why she was feeling funny, she looked around the bedroom and frowned even more when she realized that this wasn’t her bedroom.
Where was she? she mused as she quickly took off the duvet and got out of the bed.
As soon as her feet hit the ground, she looked down with a frown. Her feet were different. They were bigger. Her hands, too.
Was she still asleep and dreaming? She wondered and then gasped when she noticed the tent in front of her pajamas as though something was protruding out of it.
What was that? What was in her pajamas? She wondered with wide eyes. Her heart beat fast, and her mouth was dry as she reached out a finger to see what it was.
She poked her forefinger at it, and she felt something hard. It moved but remained erect.
Was that what she thought it was? She wondered as she held the waistband of her pajamas to take a peek.
Just as she was about to look inside, the bedroom door burst open, and she looked up to see who it was.
She was shocked when she looked back at herself dressed in exactly what she had worn to bed.
“Kimberly?” Herself asked, unsure.
Kimberly frowned as she hurried over to the mirror to see what she looked like if she wasn’t in her own body.
“MELVIN?” She screamed in disbelief when she saw that she was now Melvin.
She turned to look at herself and before Melvin could say another word, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
