Chapter 3

I called Marilyn the next morning, before I left the motel. She told me that there was a car park on Portland Terrace, not far from the office, and to park there if I got to Southampton before the office closed. She would contact Gloria to get another key cut for the house and the office for me. I took my time going east, my car wasn’t as swift as Marilyn’s.

Stuck in the Middle


In this Chapter, Emily struggles with the lingering weight of her nightmares as she faces another session with Dr. Hart. Memories of her past mix with the fears she carries, making it hard to separate what was from what still haunts her. Through Dr. Hart’s steady guidance, she begins to grasp the idea of grounding herself, of taking small steps to loosen the hold of the past. As she leaves the session, the looming approach of adoption day stirs a mix of excitement and uncertainty. With New Year’s Eve just a day away, Emily finds herself standing at the edge of a new beginning, torn between holding onto the past and learning to trust in the future.

Southern Sunlight


The Prequel to “Stuck in the Middle


In this Chapter, the simple rhythm of a Monday unfolds with the warmth of home, the steady hands of hard work, and the quiet magic of small adventures. Between morning chores, tracking a runaway mule, and playful moments with Papa, the day is filled with the kind of lessons that don’t always come from words. As evening settles, the comfort of family, good food, and fireflies remind Emily that some days are meant to be savored, down to the very last bite of peach cobbler.

Mum's Encouragement Chapter 22

On looking around the large hospital reception I noticed a reception area where a middle aged woman in a uniform sat assisting people with their enquires.

I made my way over to the reception desk and stood behind an elderly gentleman who was asking about taxis.

When it was my turn the lady turned to me, smiled and said, "Can I help you?"

After explaining that I was looking for the ward that my Nan was on, she looked at her computer and advised that I needed Edmond's ward on the third floor

Chapter15. Romanoff & Battenberg companions.

Young Battenberg was the first into the doctor’s office. He looked around rather scared and saw Rose & Anne Marie. He stood to attention and passed all the initial tests.

“Strip completely," said the doctor, "Did you not here me I said strip completely. I have seen enough naked men before."

"But sir I am not a normal naked man."

Charlotte, part 18

My hands shake with nerves as I- and everyone else in the vast room- watch the action unfolding on the television with baited breath.

“Come on,” I whisper. “I know you can do it…”

“The winner,” the blonde TV presenter announces in her refined northern accent, “of Strictly Come Dancing 2015 is…” A long, agonising pause fills the room as everyone holds their breath, waiting for the inevitable announcement.

“…Hannah and Robin!” The presenter says in a happy voice, prompting a loud, riotous cheer from everyone around me- myself included.

“Sergeant Dobbs, I understand that you know the Gibbs family?”

“Yes Sir. I guess you don’t know that Nick is, sorry was my adopted brother. He changed his name back to his original one when he met his birth parents a few years ago.”

The officer sat down with a sigh.

“I’m going to need you to go and break the bad news to Mrs Gibbs. It will be better coming from you.”

Real Life

She was living in her parents' house. Not earning nearly enough money. She sometimes felt that the pronoun was undeserved, she hadn't done enough to earn it. Hormones for a year and her appearance basically hadn't changed. People in stories always changed extremely. Transformed beyond recognition. They got desirable female figures, dyed their hair blonde, wore makeup and dresses. Even the nonfiction stories the press seemed to pick up, the people they seemed to be interested in, were like that. Look at these before and after pictures, it's amazing how much the person changed.

This is a semi-unauthorized sequel to Dorothy Colleen's CLOTHES MAKE THE ?
Her story can be found HERE: http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/60003/clothes-make .
It's short little gem of a story that offers a whole new perspective on this “forced-fem” business,
and this story will make a bit more sense if you read hers first.

Taking the protagonist to a Forced-Fem Anonymous meeting probably wasn't what Dorothy had in mind when she wrote the last line of her story, but this is what popped into my head. I'm hoping one day she'll write the real sequel to Clothes make the ?, if her muse is so inclined.
