You were the only white man in an all-Black neighborhood, and you’d spent months trying to fit in. You smiled when you could, made small talk, and tried to show you weren’t different—or threatening—but most people still hated your guts just for the color of your skin. It didn’t hurt much; you’d learned early to brush off the stares, the whispered insults, the cold shoulders. Still, loneliness has a weight.

Everyone seemed set against you, except for one person. Ashley. She was stunning—not just in appearance, but in presence. Ebony skin that seemed to glow in the sunlight, brown eyes that were always watching, thinking, calculating, and a curvy, confident form that carried itself with ease. Unlike everyone else, she spoke for you, laughed with you, and even defended you when others looked down. Slowly, a friendship grew, one that started as simple courtesy but became something stronger: a bond of trust in a world that seemed determined to isolate you.

Then came the day she acted. You were sitting at home when a knock came at the door. It was Ashley. She didn’t speak at first, just held your gaze with that calm intensity you had come to rely on. In her hand was a small needle. Before you could react, she pressed it into her arm. You watched in disbelief as her body began to change, shifting, compressing, and then—horrifyingly—deflating until what remained was a supple, lifeless suit of flesh, still unmistakably her.

You felt a chill crawl down your spine, but there was no time to think. The room was quiet except for the faint sound of fabric settling as the skinsuit lay there. What she had done was irreversible. The Ashley you knew was gone—but somehow, in this form, her essence lingered. And now, she offered herself to you in a way you couldn’t have imagined, a living connection that was both terrifying and intimate in its strange finality.

Wearing the skinsuit, you would gain her voice, her memories, her presence—a bond that blurred the line between her and you. But in that moment, all you could do was stare, stunned by the trust, the desperation, and the unshakable devotion that had led her here.
