Chapter One
Something wasn't right. I'm not sure how I knew, but from the moment I woke up that morning, three days before Christmas, I knew the world was off. I felt detached: my brain was clouded but my thoughts clear. I felt as though I were walking on air. The world around me wasn't entirely real. When I blinked, the world shimmered, shifted, for but a fraction of an instant, just before my vision disappeared.
So perhaps I should have been prepared for what happened when I went down to the kitchen. But I wasn't.
My mother was at the stove, cooking breakfast. My aunt sat at the table, a mug of coffee in one hand. Normal enough, right? Except my mother and my aunt bore no more than a passing resemblance to my mother and my aunt, as I knew I should remember them. They were different women, with only a few core features similar enough for their intended identities to register in my mind.
My mother wore thigh-high leggings and a steel gray dress. Her ass was practically hanging out as she leaned over the stove. Her ass was big and round, but relatively firm. You couldn't fit her cheeks in your hands. Yet her waist was much slimmer than it ought to have been. Her heaving breasts were obvious even from behind. I'd never considered my mother an unattractive woman, but this woman was built from lustful dreams.
She wasn't really my mother. There was no reason to feel guilty about the rush of blood to my loins then. Could I help it if this woman who had my mother's hair, height and little else was rapidly arousing me?
Aunt Liz looked even less like her true self. My aunt was in better shape than my mother, but the woman who was sitting at my kitchen table was in better shape than most teenage girls. She wore a tight floral pattern t-shirt and even tighter mini-skirt. Her skin was firm, her age suddenly reduced by a decade or more. A noticeable bulge extended forward from my mesh shorts as I took in the transformed members of my family.
Even stranger was that neither my aunt nor my mother appeared aware that they looked different, nor of the raging hard-on I was sporting. We ate breakfast, talking about plans for my sister Cassie's wedding as though everything were normal.
I shamelessly stared at the both of them, but that also went unnoticed. I couldn't figure out what was going on, or what the rules were. If I could get away with sporting an erection and staring at them, what else could I get away with?
As I ate my eggs and tried to build up the courage to figure out the answer to that question, my sister and my younger brother came down the stairs. My brother looked about the same as usual, perhaps a bit more built. My sister was a bit different, but not as much as my mother and aunt were. Of course, she was young and beautiful to begin with. In fact, the over-sexualized version of her (if that's what these were) pretty much only differed from my sister in that her complexion was fair as crème and perfectly smooth, and she was a touch slimmer.
She wore tight black shorts and a red tank-top, both clinging quite tightly to her voluptuous figure. She was not as full-figured as mom, nor as athletic as Aunt Liz. She was a dark-haired fair-skinned hourglass with lips that had me ready to drool.
And somewhere in the last ten minutes, I'd decided not to even think about how guilty I knew I should be feeling. My sister actually still looked a good deal like my sister, but none of this felt real anyway.
My Aunt Allie and my cousins were due to arrive tomorrow. I wondered if this strange dream would still be going then, and if I'd get to see a sexed-up version of my other aunt, or if reality would have restored itself by then.
