It was a normal day like always, wake up and work, eat, and sleep. Nothing different happened until later that night, I heard a loud growl from underneath me as I laid in bed, I sat up to see what had made such a noise but my bed fell into what seemed to be a sinkhole. I let out a loud yelp before blacking out from terror, waking up what I assumed hours later I was in my room again, but something felt off.

This wasn't my house, my house had a window by the bed, there isn't one here. I get up to look around, very confused and quite terrified of what had happened. My mind was blank and spinning. 

'I had fallen a hole? Was it a dream? Why is my room altered?'

I asked myself over and over again in my head. I finally got up and got dressed, maybe I should talk to my therapist today and talk about what happened, but here's a bit about me; My names Shelby, I have a thin trophy built but my height makes up for it, standing at 6'3 and with only fat around my legs I am underweight, mainly because of my inability to eat correctly from my esophagus issues.

My eyes are dark green and my hair blonde, my skin is pale but I am a mix of Korean, Asian, and caucasian. I never knew my father and my mother put me in an adoption center to grow up in foster homes my whole life.

Now back to what I was doing. I had gotten dressed in a nice Tee and means, with a pair of shoes I didn't recognize. Soon I got my bad and walked outside, to my surprise no houses looked like mine or the ones I remember, 

'What's going on? Is my mind playing tricks on me??' I ask myself still concerned and confused, I decided to go to where my best friend lived in my old hand-me-down pickup truck. The houses seemed different and rundown, why was this all so strange? 

Upon arriving I see the house but it looks like someone replaced the paint and moved the windows. My head shakes and I knock on the door, hoping he would have answers to anything going on. The door slowly opened and I saw a male that looked like my friend but, was he.. Covered in fur? Are those claws? What in the hell is going on.

"Shelby? What happened? Where's your tail? Your horns..?" Said Jacob in a confused and concerned voice.

"Tail? Horns..? What the hell, this is a joke right? Take off those fake ears now, it isn't funny." I went to grab what I assumed clip-on wolf ears but he quickly grabbed my arm and sniffed it, after a good whiff he stammered back. "Did.. Did you make a deal with a witch? You.. You smell like a human."

Jacob remarked in a concerned voice, his hand still tightly on my arm. "What? Witch? What are you talking about Jacob! You make no sense! Why is your house so different?" I had a face of pure confusion and Jacob looked pissed. 

"Inside, now." The male pulled me into the house where I almost fall from the sudden force, he shut the door and looked at me with puppy dog eyes. "You're not Shelby, are you?"

"Of course I'm Shelby! But I don't remember you having ears or me having a tail! What is this, some sort of furry convention?" I say, offended my best friend wouldn't realize I'm me and not some hobo, 

"Do you know why everything so weird..?" I ask in an actual sincere voice.

"I think my Shelby traded his life for yours, I think you swapped dimensions or reality with another Shelby." The male looked at me with a frown.


This is my first story, sorry it's short! I'm trying💔
