A "Crossed Fiction" Story

Sydney lived an existence far from what one might call a “fairy tale” life. His single father isn’t able to make ends meet, his friends have all left for the summer, and now he’s just ruined the last scrap of clothing he had left.

Without a cent to spare on clothes, there’s nothing more to do than rummage through his sister’s stuff for something he can wear. It’s too bad he’s a perfect fit for them, and it’s too bad she’s such a girly-girl.

That leads to meeting the new neighbor, a wealthy widow who is looking for a babysitter. Mistaking Sydney for a girl, she throws too much money at Sydney for him to refuse the job.

Before he knows it, Sydney, or “Cindy” as he’s now known, is being freight-trained into becoming the glamorous girl his new boss wants him to be.

Soon, he’s in a beauty pageant, being fondled by a guy who is now apparently his boyfriend, and his chest is sporting two brand new additions. But that doesn’t explain why he’s starting to develop curves and doesn’t have to shave anymore.

Will Sydney ever find the answers to these questions? Or will his femininity overwhelm him?
