Right at the moment the man touched him, he was engulfed with that odd blue sparkling dust he saw before. It surrounded his entire body. And when it finally dissipated ...
"Mom? Are you okay?" a girl asked.
Charlie blinked. Where was he? He looked around and saw that he was in a vehicle. Maybe a minivan? He appeared to be driving it. How did he get there?
"Mom, it's a green light. You can go now."
Charlie looked at the girl in the passenger seat. He had no idea who she was.
The girl looked oddly at him, while he heard cars honking from behind him.
As a pick-up truck swerved around the minivan he was in, a guy yelled out of the passenger-side window. "Hey lady! Wake up and move your fucking van!"
Lady? Charlie thought. What was that guy talking about?
He looked down at himself and nearly freaked out.
He was a woman.
