Two For The Road

Chapter 6 of Is That Me?

Alex attempts to break the temporal prime directive. Riley takes her to go get fixed.

Where are we going?

Aside from a sudden shift from Fall to Summer, the busy streets of Brooklyn seem like they did yesterday: neighborhoods shaped by countless rows of brownstones, each of them just as tall and weathered as the others.

Everything seems to be the way I remember…Or at least how it seemed before waking up this morning in a girl’s body. Riley, my puffy-eyed and sniffling roommate, drives us toward a mystery destination — Somewhere, she says, “that’ll fix everything” and “make me feel the same as I used to.”

I still don’t know what that means.

Red light.
