Epilogue
“Mom!”
“What did I say?”
“UGH. Fine.” I took my cell phone’s mic off mute and started talking to Butch again. “Mom said not until I’m seventeen. Even if AUNT JULIA LETS SANDY go on singles dates, it’s doubles or nothing.”
“Or he comes to dinner here...

I pulled the heavy drapes on my window and turned on a lamp, watching myself move in the mirror over my desk. The big-breasted woman I saw there was me, but I couldn’t be completely convinced by a mere reflection.
I took off the borrowed shawl the restaurant had loaned me and hung it over my only chair. These were the...

I've been suffering from hayfever lately and other maladies, and my writing and posting have suffered greatly. I'd make a joke about the poor boy in the pic above suffering a different set of symptoms in his case of hayfever, but the country girl in me won't allow it. That's not hay, it's straw.
That's actually an image...

An older man, large through the chest and shoulders, came striding out from between the buildings and approached us, stopping a dozen feet or so behind Hadar. He wore a homespun tunic too, but his was decorated with colorful embroidery and he had a turban-like hat on his head. He also had a wide belt with a bronze knife hangi...

I could say without a doubt that my dress was beautiful. I had taken a great deal of care with the repairs, and in the gym, with the heat of bodies and thump of the bass, I was thankful for the bare shoulders and the way the split skirt, once a flaw and now a feature, allowed my body to breathe and stay cool.

Despite my efforts to train him and all the progress we had made, getting Ted to dance at my house and getting him to dance in front of nearly the entire junior and senior classes and a fair few sophomores proved to be a different issue entirely.

The parking lot was nearly full at the Pizza Barn, meaning most of our teammates were already inside. Coach Wilson would have the back room all set up for us with pizzas, chicken, pitchers of soda, and movies—the last item supplied by Leland Frick, our team cinematographer.

Don’t cry. Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.
“Honey, you look so….”
I looked in the vanity mirror into Mom’s eyes as she stood behind me. She, too, was on the verge of tears. I desperately hoped she wouldn’t cry either, because that would be sure to set me off, and I had been practicing ...

Mom dropped one of the little boxes of tissues they have in hospitals in my lap. “Wipe your eyes, princess,” she said. “Does it hurt?”
“Yes,” I said.
“I meant your foot,” she clarified.
“That, too.” I wiped my eyes and blew my nose, delicately as I could manage. “Mom,” I said, “I th...

I found the advertisement in the weekly throwaway paper. “Meeting girls too hard for you? We can help,” followed by a phone number.
I showed it to my buddy Gordon French and asked him, “...

“Dancing?”
I nodded, doing my best not to smile at the terrified look on Ted’s face. “You did well Saturday night, once you loosened up a bit, and it’s a good way to be able to interact with girls.”
I looked up at him and waited for him to argue or object and felt both relieved and surprised ...

Marjorie got on my good side so I could hold my bad ankle up and sort of hop along while she kept me from falling. We headed toward the gap in the outer fence and then to the parking lot. I glanced back a couple times, but the guys were still fighting, with a crowd egging them on.
Damn! I was so annoyed with them both t...

I slipped down and through the open space in the structure of the bleachers into a dark space full of the sound of the concert and the crowd. Pieces of the structure slapped at my arms and legs as I fell, and something unseen bopped me on the forehead. But I had seen the shape of someone I thought I knew.

I didn't make it into the house because my littlest sister, Molly, waved at me from a window and pointed toward the backyard. I spotted Jake sitting on one of the wooden benches near the barbecue pit. He looked up when I came around his truck.

I don't remember what happened next all that clearly. I guess I was in shock, and I didn't really feel present in my new body. For a while, things seem to happen to me as I just watched, not involved emotionally. I felt numb.

I drove for perhaps twenty or thirty minutes, never any faster than five or ten miles per hour in consideration of the terrible track between the trees. Twice we had to backtrack from apparent dead-ends, one of them at a small river. The next time we came to what was probably the same stream, it looked shallow and slow-moving...

I tried to remove my blindfold by rubbing my face against Moose’s shoulder, but that only caused him to murmur, “Stop that.”
