You wake up next to your husband, but something feels off this morning. There’s a strange sensation in your body, a disconnect between how you feel and how you remember yourself. Confused, you glance down—and freeze. Instead of your adult frame, you’re staring at the body of a 5-year-old child. Just yesterday, you were 25.

Heart racing, you shake your husband awake. He stirs, rubbing his eyes, but when he turns to look at you, his expression shifts from drowsy to utterly shocked.

Husband: “Oh my god, Maria, what happened?!” he exclaims, his voice rising with panic.
