“What do you mean for my security, Tim?”
“I’m sorry, Miss Larsen, we have already discussed this, as part of the witness protection program you have been assigned a new identity. Some procedures will be necessary in order to protect you.”
“Just call me Hannah, please. Still, why genetic therapy and surgical procedures? I thought people usually got a new name, a new place to live in a different city and that was all.”
“This time it’s different, the criminal organisation you testified against won’t spare any effort to trace you down and get their revenge, we need to do everything possible to make you unrecognisable”
“I understand, I’m just worried about how am I going to look…”
“Our security experts have already elaborated your future appearance based on several Instagram models, so you don’t have to worry about feeling insecure about your new looks. We will inject you with an agent that will progressively replace your own DNA with the artificial one crafted by our geneticists, so there will be no way of knowing who you really are. Some additional surgeries will be required to adjust some details. The procedures will begin tomorrow at our top secret facilities, you won’t leave our top security facilities for the time being”
“Can I at least know any detail about how am I going to look?”
“It’s better for your own security if this information doesn’t get spread around before the surgeries, I’m sorry. We’ll now perform some minor surgeries together with injecting the genetic agent to facilitate the transition and we’ll reassess the situation afterwards.”

When Hannah woke up from the sedation she was horrified to realise how much her complexion had changed. She still looked like herself, just way more exotic. Her natural blonde mane was replaced with dark brown transplanted hair that gets curly at the extremities and her baby blue eyes, once her pride, were permanently covered in dark brown. Her skin also looked more tanned. When Tim checked on her, she erupted in a series of complaints “Why didn’t you tell me I was going to look like a completely different ethnicity too?” “I’m sorry your blue eyes and blonde hair had to go but we assumed you had no particular racial bias…” “Hmm, sorry, that’s not what I meant, it’s just that I wasn’t expecting this. Am I going to look like a Latina? Why do I also look younger?” “You will indeed look younger, but I’m not authorised to give you additional information. Just be aware that the changes are not done yet, we’ll leave you alone for some time so you can get accustomed with the changes in your body in privacy and we’ll get back to you in a few weeks, when a final surgical procedure will be necessary to implement some final changes that can’t be obtained by genetic therapy only.”
Hannah didn’t want to show any racial bias indeed – she’s never been racist, but she had always been proud of her Nordic features. Why did this have to happen to her? Why being forced to adopt a different ethnicity? And how was she going to look like?

Diary entry – day 15
They aren’t even checking on me any longer.
The DNA replacement is slowly proceeding, we’re two weeks in now and I look… I don’t even know what. My hair has become all frizzy, I don’t know what to do with it anymore.
Still struggling to cope with all this. I only testified against them, it’s so unfair that I have to give up on my identity to this extent. I’m not racist but I was so proud of my English and Scandinavian background.
On the bright side I do look younger and I also noticed my skin tone has stabilised now, I probably won’t get darker than this. I can’t believe I’ll have to straighten my hair from now on but with straight hair I might still pass for Italian or something. I’ll probably be just a slightly exotic white girl.

Diary entry – day 24
I guess I had spoken too early the last time. These new genes have really started to kick in and the results are pretty dramatic. I was trying to tell myself if was just the lighting but my skin is definitely a few shades darker now. It’s not just a tan, it’s a deep mocha color. My facial features have shifted a bit too, to match my new complexion I guess and my hair is even more frizzy if possible now. It’s hard to accept it but I won’t be able to pass for a white woman anymore with this complexion. I don’t know what to say.
My last set of surgeries is scheduled for tomorrow, I’m afraid of what I might look like afterwards.

Diary entry – day 28
The last remnants of my past self have been removed with the surgeries: my lips have been inflated, my nose and cheekbones remodelled and I even had to undergo breast implants surgery. I now have the body and the genetic heritage of a black girl. This is just too much, I can’t take it anymore.
They justified the boob job saying they wanted to make my body type match better with my new persona and ethnicity. Also, if anybody spotted traces of cosmetic surgery it would draw less attention in a doll-like girl with silicone breasts, they said, so I had to look the part. I cannot believe it.
Apparently they also altered my metabolism so that I am now going to gain weight, no matter what I eat. With all the time I spent in gyms to keep my body thin now I’ll be forced to become a thick black girl.

Diary entry – day 97
My weight has finally reached a stable value now. Luckily all the fat has accumulated in “the right places” I guess, but the image I see in the mirror doesn’t reflect who I am inside. I might look like a hourglass-shaped thick black girl but I’m still the same classy thin white woman inside.
At the same time, the signs of my new identity are everywhere. My new body shape has inevitably changed the way I walk for example, I can’t avoid swaying my hips in very obvious way, and they even insisted on teaching me new pronunciation patterns and vocabulary to “fit in more” – I’m only allowed to speak in black vernacular now, it will soon become natural to me, I was told.
I haven’t only lost the possibility to express myself freely, I have also lost access to my family wealth – I can rely only on a minimum wage salary and a tiny apartment in the outskirts of a big city of the south now so my lifestyle has changed dramatically.
I’m starting to realise that there’s no way back to who I was, I might as well learn to be a proud Black woman. So this is me now, I’m Alisha Williams and I’m going to be a busty black woman for the rest of my life. I still can’t believe this is real.
