Arriving back at his apartment, Adam saw a manilla envelope taped to his door. It was big and yellow, there wasn't any way to avoid it. There was obviously something inside. Not simply papers which are usually contained in an envelope like that.

He pulled it from the door. There wasn't any writing on either side of the envelope. He opened his door and entered his apartment.

The envelope itself wasn't sealed. Only the tape that affixed it to his door kept the envelope closed. He opened it up, turned it off, and let the contents fall out into his hand. He looked at the cheap piece of jewelry he held. He knew what it was immediately. It was the Medallion of Zulu. He didn't have any doubt of its authenticity.

"Oh my god," he screamed. "It's here and it's mine. I can't believe it."

Adam had read all the stories. Both the true ones and those that were made up. They were wonderful stories. He loved them all. He knew that there were thousands or tens of thousands of people who would die if they could have the Medallion. He had been one of them.

He knew the rules, all he had to do was touch it to a piece of clothing and his body would transform into the last person who wore that garment. It would take some doing to change his whole body, something as small as an earring would change his ears, but probably not his whole face. For his whole body to change that would take larger garments and more prolonged contact.

Adam also knew that he would have the Medallion for a 'relatively short length of time'. No one kept the Medallion forever.

Adam didn't want to use the Medallion to be the twin of someone. He determined to use the Medallion on new clothes that would change his body, but not make his body a clone of someone else.

On the other hand, Adam knew the type of body he wanted. He wanted a female body. If he decided he didn't want to be a woman, then he would keep several pairs of his own clothes segregated so he could swap back to his current form.

Adam decided he wanted to be a petite but curvy woman. He didn't like women that were too thin. He wanted to be big, round, and curvy. Big hips, big butt, and big breasts were what he was looking for. All those things in a short body.

Adam couldn't take a chance on doing everything at once with one dress. He didn't know how he would turn out. he would have to do it one stitch of clothes at a time. He would start with leggings. That contained the most important parts. Then he would try on a bra, next a top to complete the torso. He'll need shoes to acquire small feet. His hair he wasn't sure about. Probably the hair he had was good enough, he would just have to grow it out and style it the conventional way.

As far as the face, he guessed that he would have to try a mud mask and then makeup to refine his features. The Medallion would work on only one garment (feature) every twelve hours.

The faster he started, the faster he could finish. He was already dressed. He didn't have to put on anything special to go shopping. The most important part was the leggings. If he wore leggings that would change the entire lower part of his body.

Adam left his apartment immediately. He went to a department store. That was a better choice than a women's apparel store. He wouldn't look out of place there. Once he had a change or two, he could finish up in a more feminine shop, but for now, he was completely masculine-looking.
