You walk into the house, and the first thing you notice is that "John" is no longer in bed. Suddenly, you feel an arm around your neck, and you get thrown down onto the floor. "You stupid whore," John's voice roared. "So you think you can just walk out of here?"

Thinking clearly, you say, "John, I came back. I wasn't going to walk out on you. Where would I go?"

"John" grabs you, throws you onto the bed and ties you up so tightly the rope burns against your skin. "In the morning, you will bet such a beating for your disobedience."

"John," you say, "I came back on my own. Do you want to know why I came back?"

"John" looks stunned. "Why did you come back?" he asks.

"I wanted to give you a gift," you say. "I was feeling so sorry for how I abused you in the past, so I bought you an attractive locket, a man's locket for your new male body."

He looks intruiged. "So where is it?"

"Reach into my bra, and you will find it," you say. "I had no other place to carry it, as women's clothes don't have pockets, and as your slave I cannot have a purse."

He reaches into your bra and pulls out the "Amulet of Morpheus." He stares at it, eyes gleaming. He smiles. "This is for me?"

For a moment, his eyes seem to get teary. He is still a girl at heart, you decide, and a gift of jewelry still means alot. "Put it on," you say. "You will look so handsome with it on."

He puts it on. You say, "My handsome man."

He wipes a few tears from his eyes. He seems pleased, though not enough to untie you. "We will still talk about this in the morning, and until then I still don't trust you. You did walk out of here without permission."

He lays down opposite you and closes his eyes. You also close your eyes. You pray that both of you fall asleep, since the "Amulet of Morpheus" only works when both giver and receiver are asleep--the transformation happens when both are unconscious.

Finally, you do fall asleep.
