This is my story of how my life changed for the better.

It began in the year 2010, gosh it seems so long ago. But as a part of my acceptance of what happened, I'm writing this so I can cope with it, well that’s what my Therapist says.

Oh I forgot, I should have mentioned my name, oopsie.

My name is Tanya Kaiba, that is not my birth name, but that is what this piece I am writing now is about.

My birth name is Sean Weston. Now you have realized reading this that my current name is female and my birth name is male.

This is where it gets interesting. How I got here; damn I forgot to mention the year, the year is 2995 as I am writing this piece in my holo diary.

Now back to 2010, when I was still male - I was a 24 year old male, average height, build somewhat of a lazy person who doesn’t exercise, ginger-ish hair and blue eyes. I had one passion in life, Yu-Gi-Oh card game/anime. I liked watching it and playing the card game. From time to time I would dream of various duels that happen with me being the main character; sometimes as a male and sometimes as a female - yes at the time I was undecided if I fit in the male gender - had odd thoughts that I would be better if I was female.

Enough about my gender shortcomings, as that would not be a problem for me much longer, as I would soon find out.

It was September 9th, when I decided to leave my house in the evening to go for a stroll around my local town. I walk around for a while, taking in the sights of the old place as it looks during the evening. I get this sudden feeling of dread, I could not place where this feeling was coming from, although I didn’t need to wait for long to find out what was causing this feeling.

For some reason I could see, hovering over the local car park a black cloud - yes a black cloud which was visible in the dark. Yeah, I know, sounds kinda stupid doesn't it. So my investigative nature overwhelmed my flight response to this situation. I went towards the car park and ascended inside the car park; at the time the stairs and lift were shut so I had go up through the car ramps to get to the top floor of the car park where I could see this black cloud.

Well it was more than a black cloud though, it was a 10 meter radius hemisphere of blackness which now I was close enough had purple in it as well. As I inched more closely to the funky dome of blackness, I was feeling waves flowing through me.

Had I known what was going to happen next I would have gotten the hell out of there, but as this is being written as a retrospective, you can kinda guess what happened next. So I got even closer till I could reach out and touch it and as I inched my hand closer to the surface of the hemisphere a tendril reached out from the sphere to touch my hand.

At first I was freaking out, well to be fair I was freaking out the moment I had reached the top of the car park, but by this point of time it became clear to me what was happening was not normal. Then as the tendril of blackness stroked me, it felt like something familiar - kinda like when you see something for the second time and it had been more that a few years between the viewings, then another tendril appears and seems to beckon me into the hemisphere.

That was the last time I remember things for a while - but the next thing I see is another chapter entirely.
