One Sip to Become One

It was just a costume. A mask, a wig, a bit of fun — maybe for a convention, a theme night, or a silly party. Then someone offered you a drink. A “special on the house,” they said. You laughed, took a sip… and something inside you shifted. Your reflection no longer matches your memory. The costume has vanished — but the person you were pretending to be hasn’t. Because now, you are them.
