Petunia had hidden her hairy legs and flat chest ever since she was a teenager. She had always looked like a man and could never compete with her blonde, ivory-smooth sister Helene.
So when Helene booked a surprise cruise for Petunia’s fortieth, Petunia decided it was time to let go. With topless sunbathing allowed, there was nothing stopping her.
“What are you doing?” spat Helene at the sight of Petunia’s absent cleavage and bushy exterior. “This isn’t you!”
But it was. It was all Petunia. The self she had been hiding her whole life.
It was Helene’s turn to be surprised.
Congratulations, Lisa! Great story – strong images, succinct, and a great ending.
Thanks, Ion! I had fun writing it ?
BTW, that ‘?’ above was actually a smiley, but somehow it didn’t work. Thanks again, Ion!
Terrific work. I picked up a transsexual undertone, and that’s a real surprise.
Thanks, Glenn, for your comment! As for the undertones, I was leaving the surprise up to the reader’s imagination. 🙂
Great story, really enjoyed it.
Thank you for reading, and for your positive comment! 🙂
