Sam woke up
with unpleasant feelings. Even before he opened his eyes he felt that something
changed once again. He needed some time to remember what has been going on for
the last few days with him and his girlfriend, he reminisced about the strange
glow from the neighbor’s house. Then a wave of realization hit him: he had to
tell Vanessa about everything! With this thought he finally opened his eyes and
sprung on his bed, feeling quite awakened already and even a bit panicky.
And he was
goddamn right… there was a lot of things that changed once again since
yesterday!
Sam looked
around to see the radical shift in surrounding: the walls painted in baby
boy-blue, new furniture in the room, which now was filled with different toys
for kids of a very small age – plushies, blocks, stacking rings, etc. Then Sam
saw wooden bars and rail in front of him, that meant he is in the crib.
Everything looked so large! This was enough to comprehend what become of him,
but Sam didn’t want to believe it!
His worst
fear at the moment – the fear of looking at himself, so he could see how his
body changed, but Sam was able to finally overcome it and checked the damage.
Despite the feelings he got, tactile sensations which exposed him to the
frightening novelty of his new life and the changed surroundings he seen, Sam
still needed to consider the image of his new body to realize, that the worst
scenario he thought of before, has already become reality.
He looked
down and saw a pair of pudgy legs with teeny-weeny toes, pudgy belly with cute
belly button, his tiny arms and hands. All those parts of his body were stuffed
with baby fat, with no hint of muscle mass, which used to be visible and
pronounced – attribute Sam was proud of once and which Vanessa used to like
about his body, which provided her with feeling of being secure when Sam was
around and she touched his arm or hugged him, feeling and adoring his athletic
build. Also Sam found his skin to be especially smooth, soft and sensitive with
a creamy color and a bit of light pink – the colors associated with innocence
and fragility of an early childhood he now will have to re-experience again.
Sam touched
the top of his head, then face to feel a wispy and silky soft short hair,
chubby soft cheeks and small button like nose.
That’s how
he looked now, any hint of adult looking features was completely erased, Sam
was stripped of any pronounced, any angular, any masculine trait he used to
have with his whole body turned into a soft, malleable, weak, harshly
diminished and the most emasculated version of itself exposed to now seemingly
a lot larger world around him.
That’s why
Sam was feeling how fear, insecurity and anxiety built up inside of him.
Another
thing that was the shouting evidence of his current age and status in new
reality was the crinkly plastic and pillowy soft garment around his loins and
buttocks.
A diaper – thing
used as a transportable alternative to toilet, a sign of not being able to
control bodily functions completely, of not being able to take care of basic
needs, of being dependent on others.
It was the
only part of clothing Sam currently wore.
He stood
up. His small feet touched the mattress, its soft surface which sagged slightly
under Sam’s meagre weight resembled some sort of a mat more than bedding, due
to how large it seemed to him now.
When Sam
finally took vertical position, he noticed how his diaper was sagging between
his legs, tugging him down. It was a bit unforeseen for him, so he almost lost
balance, because his legs were a bit unsteady just after waking up and the
softness of mattress wasn’t helping, and Sam had to grab the wooden bar with
his small hand, so he won’t have to fall down on his rump.
The garment
he wore was clammy and squishy and, how it was mentioned before, a bit of
heavy, Sam thought for a second that it would just slide down, exposing his
buttocks and privates, if the tabs didn’t hold it so well.
Peeved by
uncomfortable feelings and the shift in surroundings and his body, Sam shouted,
trying to get attention: “Van-neees-sa! Ne-eee-essa!”
It was expected
that he sounded babyish, but Sam hasn’t foreseen that the act of speech itself
would be harder, it now has become more though for him to make his tongue
pronounce the right sounds, frustrating him even more.
The door to
his sun-drenched room opened. Sam saw a figure, he started speaking:
“Van-etha?!”
Then a strange feeling pierced his head, he
closed his eyes for a second as his mind grew foggy for a short moment, but
when he opened them, he mumbled: “G… gwanny?”
Vanessa
opened her eyes, then closed them again. She wanted to sleep a little longer
before doing anything today, but she felt a strange anxiety inside of her
building up. Vanessa didn’t know what have caused it and her mind, still foggy
from awakening, started reminiscing the events of the last two days. She
realized, that she need to see if anything changed again, begrudgingly she
opened her eyes once more and sat on her bedding, looking around.
Vanessa
couldn’t tell that there were any noticeable changes, despite the older looking
furniture and maybe some new things and rimmed photos placed somewhere.
Her vision
was a bit blurry. Vanessa remembered that she bought herself glasses yesterday
and started looking for them. She found a pair near her bed and she could
easily tell they became different, unlike the cheap “cat eye” type she had
before, those had thin lenses and were even somewhat nice looking.
When
Vanessa wore glasses, her sleepiness was wearing off, so she could notice some
changes that happened to her body.
She stood
up and found, that her body became even heavier than yesterday. Under the
pajamas she wore, Vanessa had a huge stomach, large ass, flabby and creased
from age, fat and cellulite-ridden “cottage cheese” thighs and legs had varicose
veins on them. She used to be bottom-heavy before, but now it couldn’t be even
more obvious that her body lacked some balance between her lower and upper
parts, because Vanessa became overall shorter and her rump even wider.
Underneath
the shirt of her pajama her breasts hanged like two pendulums without the
support of bra.
“God! I’m a
whale!” – Vanessa said, thinking aloud.
The next
thing she noticed was the fact that she didn’t feel the hair touching her neck
or shoulders and she didn’t assemble them before going to bed. Her hand brushed
her head and realized that she now had a short cut.
Vanessa
grabbed a small mirror and looked at herself. A senior lady looked back at her
from the reflective surface. At least, she wasn’t as wrinkly as she feared, but
the oval of her face was deformed, it looked more plump and gravity force was pulling
the flesh of it down and hair was almost completely gray.
After all,
it seems Vanessa’s body overall now had less muscles and more fat. She hoped
that she would age more graceful that it appears now, but there was another
thing, that bothered her.
Vanessa
thought: “All the time I used to gain 10 years, that mean I’m about 62. Yeah,
it seems the world changed too. Wait! That mean Sam has become about… No! If he
was 7 years old yesterday and he loses 5 years for every 10 I gain, so he
should be like... only 2 years old!”. She needs to check on him, the sooner the
better, Vanessa decided.
Then a pair
of photos in the rim attracted her attention. Vanessa looked at them.
The first
one was showing a girl, not any random girl, but a Vanessa, only 40 years
younger than her current age, like she used to be before strange serious of
changes happened, a far cry from her new self.
She wore
acid wash jeans, a tube top, vibrant pink blush, bright pink lip-gloss, thick
eyeliner and smokey eye also were on her face. Her chestnut hair was straight
with bangs and came up to her shoulders.
The photo
looked old and the color washed off a bit. It’s obvious, that in new reality
Vanessa’s youth was in the 80’s.
“Oh, those
were the days…” - she thought.
Then she
looked at another photo, at first she was pretty much puzzled.
Vanessa saw
herself, but this time she appeared to be older, than on the previous picture,
seems about 40-ty or so, like she was 2 days ago, the first time reality
changed along with her and Sam’s age. But it wasn’t the thing that captivated
her attention: Vanessa wasn’t alone, there also stood a girl about 12 or 13
years old.
The girl
had a pair of bright blue eyes, a pointed chin, fair skin and chestnut hair,
she was smiling and because of it, her cute dimples and braces on her teeth
were showing. Despite some nuances, resemblance to Vanessa was obvious.
“There’s my
Rina. How long ago it used to be? I remember how we went to the amusement park
after she got her braces. Poor child, she was so anxious about it and I wanted
to help her to overcome it, so I decided we need some fun together… That’s when
this photo was taken. Yes, should have spent more time with my baby after all…
Should’ve raising her better, than I did…” – Vanessa thought.
She felt,
that something was just wrong about her thoughts, about her mind, but she
couldn’t point her finger at what exactly is off…
Wait! She
doesn’t even know this kid!
Then a
strange felling passed through her whole body, a sensation close to migraine
pierced her brain.
That’s the
point, when everything changed for Vanessa. She started to remember. She could
state it clear now! Clear as a light of the day! How real it now started to
look!
The new
reality brought a lot novelty into her fate that Vanessa will have to live with
from now on.
The
knowledge and experience of about 60 years were flowing right into her mind in
a matter of seconds.
She was
born in the first part of 60-ies, grew up in a loving family, pretty much like
the one she grew up with the first time around. The faces of her parents, their
attitude almost the same, despite that Vanessa remembered her Dad sitting on
the couch with a cigar and mumbling something like: “Damned Soviets!” as he
read his paper and her Mom criticizing Vanessa’s peers for being “immodest youngsters,
listening to an unendurable music”, or something like that. In the end of the
day, Vanessa still loved them and she realizes it even more now, when they are
dead.
Looking
forward to be like her Mommy someday, kindergarten, playground, school,
friends, learning to ride a bike and grazing her knee, teachers, first bra,
zits, coping with bullies, envy to bustier girls, entering high school, first
part-time work, learning to drive, preparing for exams, prom dress, college,
first boyfriend and first breakup – nothing really changed about the first 20
years of her existence, even if everything was going in a slightly earlier time
period.
Then,
Vanessa’s mind finally came to the main dividing point – her life after
finishing college: a start of new job and climbing up the societal ladder, saving
for her own place to live and meeting her husband… her first husband.
They broke
up soon after the birth of her baby – a girl, whom Vanessa named Regina. A
delight of giving the new life and joy of watching her grow slowly was darkened
with divorce and worry about her and Regina’s future. Even after moving out and
becoming a parent herself, Vanessa still needed to be protected and cared for,
maybe, that’s what every woman wish for, at some point, but that was the reason
she hadn’t ended her unhealthy relationship with her first husband earlier and
used a baby as a chance to stop him from leaving her. Now with baby Rin’s life
in her hands she felt fear of being responsible for her.
So, that’s
how return to dating scene started, even if that meant leaving Rina alone a
search for a new partner meant finding a chance of being able to feel herself
as a weaker one, in need of being patronized, even if that meant submitting,
that was better for Vanessa, than needing to find the inner strength to calm
down and reassure a crying small kid.
That
doesn’t mean Vanessa didn’t like Rina, after all she was the being she carried
inside of her, the one she delivered in pain and the one she fed with her milk.
She liked to see her pass her little milestones and teach her about
birds’n’bees. But Regina was becoming less dependent, harder to control and it
also scared Vanessa. She still remembers the day her daughter said: “Mom, stop
calling me Rina! My name is Regina!”. A girl was only 6 or 7 years old, when it
happened. The emotional cord, developed through painful act of childbirth, the
sleepless nights and fear of being burdened with a small human’s life being
dependent on Vanessa, grew thinner. And new men in their lie didn’t help it at
all.
Of course,
Vanessa used to think of it as a “search for a new daddy for Rina” or “finding
a new man of the house” as if she tried to earn forgiveness from the other,
hidden part of her personality. That ended in second husband, third husband and
even her boss as a lover and protector at her job. Eventually, Vanessa was able
to find some caring for herself and feeling of being hidden from the
difficulties of some troubles and responsibilities, but it all just had to come
to an end, sometime Vanessa simply ignored how it affected her child, because
relationship with “new man of the house” was hard to create from blank for a kid.
Vanessa had
to stop her attempts, she was growing older and fatter, which mean soon she
won’t be able to try anymore, as she thought.
She had to
provide for Regina’s future, so she began to spend more time at work, so the
distance only grew. Of course, sometimes Vanessa would rush to help Regina with
the things growing girl was concerned with. It used to be moments, that brought
joy and happiness to Rina, but as she became older it turned into irritation
from her personal world, her own troubles, being invaded.
Regina gave
Vanessa hard time as a teen, starting to hang with the crowd Vanessa disliked
the most, smoking and disrupting her mother’s rules.
When the
girl became old enough to move out and live by herself, she used the first
opportunity and visited her mother begrudgingly, feeling resentment, which she
hid under the mask of neglect.
It was a
hard thing to take for Vanessa, that she wasn’t able to treat her child right,
to guide her, so she enjoyed working with young interns at her job. It felt
easier for her and watching them improve helped her to heal her broken heart.
Samantha
that started to work here during Vanessa’s struggles with teenage daughter,
really bonded with her and never forgot to check her aging mentor.
That kid,
Regina’s peer, Audrey – one of the most aspiring youngsters she used to teach
about her job, also had her place in Vanessa’s heart, even though it would be
better if the girl learnt to be nicer to others.
Everything
was changing as the time kept flowing, Vanessa’s former boss retired and his
son took his position. And just as the autumn leaves have to step back so the
snow could reign every year, Vanessa ‘s hair was getting more grey and she was
getting wearier succumbing to her shift into the next part of life.
Then it
happened. Her daughter arrived and left the kid she gave birth to, saying she
couldn’t raise him. Vanessa had to retire early to take care of him. Baby’s
name is Sam.
“I need to go find Sam and put an end to this”
– said Vanessa through stiffened teeth, as she felt the migraine grew weaker
and clear state of mind returning.
“G…
gwanny?” – mumbled a toddler, standing up in his crib and looking at Vanessa,
who still stood in the doorway, because she didn’t know what she should do
better and how should she react.
A small boy
around 2 years old was gazing at Vanessa with his small mouth opened. He was
chubby from baby fat and wore only a diaper with nothing else on. She was
shocked, even though it was expected, but the other part of her current self,
her granny’s heart, warmed up at the sight of her little Sammy standing in his
crib and grabbing a wooden bar with his tiny and pudgy palm.
“At least
Sam woke up already,” – Vanessa thought: “so, that means, he already realized
his state. Don’t need to gush at the fact that he’s, well, a toddler”.
“Yes,
Sammy. In some way. But I remember that’s not like it always used to be. Do you
remember who you are?” – said Vanessa. She was a bit concerned about his sudden
change of attitude and decided to check if his mind is still intact, better
safe, than sorry.
“Yes,
‘membew, you used to be ma giwwend” – said Sam, he still wasn’t used to his low
skill of speech, so he blushed at how babyish it sounded.
He looked
at the woman of senior citizen age, she still resembled Vanessa he used to
know, but her youth was long gone with her beauty, her body and face deformed
with age too. Sam understood that there’s no need to remind her about it,
despite any humiliation and helplessness today’s change brought to him he
became younger and couldn’t imagine how it felt to Vanessa, a young woman
previously, that has been shown what life got in store for her in the next
decades to come and was stripped off those things, that made her being viewed
as attractive.
Vanessa was
dressed in a sweatpants and large T-shirt she wore, when she was preparing for
the day a couple of minutes earlier, and had her gray hair in a pixie cut. Her
eyes, that looked at Sam through the thin elegant glasses seemed to be a little
tired, but a slight, not so noticeable at first sight, sparkle in them still
reminded of the lost youth, she’s completely aware off, as it seems. It helped
Sam to fight his anxiety, because it meant they could figure it out and find a
way to return to their normal state with her help, as Sam really wasn’t able to
do much in his new body.
-
Sam,
the reality changed… it seems, now all the world is not as it used to be… so,
yes, in some way we are now a grandma and grandson, – Vanessa said as calm as
she could.
-
Unners’and.
Me membew some of it too, – Sam started to talk slowly, but then his speech
became fast and illegible, as if some regular overexcited toddler spoke: “I
membew dat I big boy too, but me baby and you gwanny too, dat’s fwuth… fwuss-
twatin’!
-
I
understand, the same goes with me, - Vanessa spoke as she leaned closer to Sam
over the railing of the crib.
-
You
know how owld we become? – asked Sam.
-
Every
time, when it happened earlier, I aged 10 years and you lost 5 years, that
means I’m 62 and you’re about 2. Wait, you couldn’t count yourself, aren’t you?
-
Weww,
I know me wittwe, so you should be weal big, oh, I mwean owd, but dat’s hawd to
count now.
-
I
see. Okey, enough of it. Let’s get ready for the day and then we may decide
what to do. Since Christina said, that person, responsible for the curse, is
somewhere nearby, we just need to sat together, think who it may be and then
come to him and make him undo it, right?
-
Gwa…
sowwy, ‘Essa, can you hewp me get outta cwib? – asked Sam, looking up at
Vanessa. It seems that’s what bothered him more now. His eyes looked almost
pleading.
-
Of
course… - she answered, then said: Come to me. Upsy-daisy!
Being
lifted out of his crib, was, at some point, quite a humiliating and unpleasant
experience for Sam, because it reminded him once again about his current
position. Obstacle, that should be easy to get over even for a kid of the age
of 7, like he was yesterday, especially for adult he should be, if not the
damned curse. Now he needed someone to help him to get out of it.
When
Vanessa lifted Sam out of the crib, she placed his small bottom on her arm with
his legs dangling at the side, so it would be easier to hold him.
Such a
babyish position in the arms of his former girlfriend made Sam feel
uncomfortable at first, but then his memories about new reality kicked in, and
he calmed down and even put his thumb inside his mouth. Being carried aside
Vanessa’s flabby arm and close to her warm and soft body, helped Sam to forget
his worries and his anxiousness slowly started to wear off.
Sam’s
demeanor towards Vanessa changed and he noticed it. Not only he had to submit
and resign himself to position of the lesser one between the two of them, due
to his new limitations, but his perception of Vanessa changed too.
It was hard
for him to see her as his girlfriend, even though he was aware, at least, she
used to be. He lost any attraction to her before: when the change in reality
made her his “mother” and him into kid, that only had to go through puberty
yet. But there was something else, Sam was feeling safe in the hands of
Vanessa, because she now, strangely, seemed like the most dependable person in
the world, though usually he was the one to take the lead. He buried his face
into old woman’s skin, at the moment he enjoyed being cared for.
Vanessa
looked at Sam as he sat on her forearm. Smooth baby skin touched hers and she
understood, that she’d better hide her newfound excitement over her little
“grandson” who just woke up. She really had to resist the urge to blow a
raspberry into his pudgy belly.
Her
memories were partly altered, just like Sam. But her case just was different.
Sam didn’t remember much about new reality, even though he now discovered some
new feelings towards Vanessa and sensations about his body. Vanessa, on the
other hand, has gained about 40 years of new experience.
Of course,
Vanessa still remembered her and Sam’s original selves, but she had memories
about new reality, with 40 years added to her, this period literally lasted
longer than her whole previous life. So, seeing Sam as her boyfriend, even if
he really used to be, became harder and harder with every passing minute, every
second, not only he looked like a regular toddler and she remembered taking
care of him as he was slowly growing bigger, stronger and smarter and now she
carried him through the room like a baby, which was the stronger evidence, that
current situation seemed even more real than any other scenario, for example:
Sam as her boyfriend.
When
Vanessa first saw Sammy standing in his crib, she noticed the bulge of his
swollen diaper. It seems it was filled to its full capacity, so she’ll have to
change it immediately. Vanessa hoped it was only wet.
She gently
cupped the front side of the boy’s diaper to feel the fullness, then delicately
tugged the backside of Sam’s nappy with her index finger.
The boy
didn’t mind it at all, as it seemed, he just continued to bury his face into
Vanessa’s chonky shoulder and hug her with tiny arms.
“At least,
no poopy… yet”, Vanessa sighed at the thought.
-
Sam,
I know you’re not going to like it, but I’ll just have to change your… you
know… diaper. – said Vanessa as she slowly carried toddler to the changing
table.
-
You
hafta anyway, ‘Etha. Sowwy for it… - answered Sam.
-
Oh,
nothing’s wrong, you don’t have to be sorry. It’s OK for boys your age to get
through a lot of changes. You’ve only started to learn to use the potty, aren’t
you?
When
Vanessa said it, she couldn’t hide her excitement anymore and held the boy
closer to her face to blow a raspberry into his tummy, but noticed the somewhat
surprised look on Sam’s face, that made her stop.
“Shit,
what’s got into me”, thought Vanessa.
After
settling Sam on the changing table, Vanessa tore the tapes on the sides of his
diaper, leaving it opened and started doing her job, taking care of the
toddler’s need to be clean and in a snug and comfy nappy, like if she’s done it
thousands times before, just like any routine action.
Sam felt
himself humiliated during change, Vanessa wiping his groin and butt, holding
his “peenie” between her thumb and index finger to achieve a better reach to
all the regions of his body to clean, grabbing his tiny ankles to lift his butt
and powdering him, before putting a new diaper on him, was a demeaning
experience. But at the same time it felt better to be clean, so he couldn’t
blame Vanessa for having him go through this process. Sam even wanted to show
his acknowledgment to her for not doing any “cute” comments and cooing at him,
so he mustered to mumble “Thank wou” with a shy blush.
“Oh, what a
cutie! Can’t help it, though I have to hold myself, after all, I don’t want to
make it too tough for Sammie” – Vanessa thought looking at the small boy after
she put a diaper with elastic waistband on him.
She carried
him downstairs, put on the floor and asked to sit down for 15 minutes, so she
could prepare breakfast for them.
Sam was
bored even after a minute of doing nothing, so he decided to play with some of
the toys scattered around on the carpet. Reluctant at first, he soon noticed
how fun it was becoming to roll his toy car around.
Some noise
could be heard from the kitchen nearby.
If the
breakfast soon is going to be ready, that meant Sam is going to sit in a
highchair with a small plate in front of him on the tray, with bib tied around
his neck and Vanessa helping him to eat without spilling food on himself, but
anyway ending with a dirty mouth for Vanessa to wipe.
Sam cringed
at the thought.
After a
minute or so, he felt strange pressure building inside his tummy. Realizing
what it means, he rushed to Vanessa on the kitchen.
Seeing a
worried toddler, she asked, kneeling to be on the same eye level with Sammy:
-
What
happened?
-
I
need to poop… - he answered, blushing once again.
-
Okay,
come with me. You are such a smart boy, for telling me!
Sam thought
for a second, how much the level of accomplishment worth of being called
“smart” has fallen during the last couple of days!
After
finishing his business on the training potty, Sam’s bum was wiped by Vanessa.
When she was throwing out the contentment of potty chair and flushing it, Sam
remembered there was something important to tell her, but what?
Then it
started to become clear: the neighbor’s house, the glowing he saw yesterday and
later woke up, like this, he had to tell her!
Sam rushed to Vanessa to say about the clue he
accidentally found.
A woman in
her 20-ties sat behind the table made out of black wood. Then a ring was heard.
She grabbed
the handset of a black telephone, that looked like it was made in the start of
the XX century.
She listened
to the voice of the caller, then said:
-
Okay,
Christina I heard you. Do I have to hurry? You said they visited you yesterday…
Codependency.
