This interesting. But I think you add in the author's notes what WITSEC is or what it stands for. I think that would help explain why this person underwent such a drastic change, and it not being for the other reason.

Ah, very clever, John. Great solution to being in WITSEC. Now you've got me wondering how many trans women are actually men in WITSEC. This was a good surprise ending to this dribble flash story. - Jim

This work has reached the exceptional level

well, that deserves a 6 for the shocker ending I did not see coming, plus you lead up to it, setting the stage perfectly for the reader's belief that she's a natural she. UGH, but good. Another plus, you got a lot of info in, in a Dribble Flash. But I have to ask, what does WITSEC stand for?

That was so very funny! I loved it! The last line had me laughing hysterically. I read it out to my husband and he laughed, too. This is such a good contest entry, and if it doesn't win, I will be very surprised. Well done, and good luck! :)) Sandra xx

What is WITSEC?
Good luck in the contest.

So, a man turned himself into a beautiful woman to escape the mob. That is what I gather from the last surprising line in the dribble flash fiction. A twist to be sure but are there any hidden messages? I am not sure.
Anyway, this is readable and the picture is easy on the eyes as they say.
Thanks for participating in this contest.
Jesse
