With a groggy headache, Alan Walker slowly opened his eyes to an unfamiliar bedroom. After twisting and turning in the bed for a while he came to realize that his hands were smaller, and his body also felt small. With confusion, he sat up on the bed and looked around.
The bedroom was a cosy and colourful space, filled with toys and books that reflected the boy's interests and imagination. The walls were painted a bright blue, with a mural of a rocket ship and planets on one side. The ceiling had glow-in-the-dark stars and a moon that lit up at night. The window overlooked the Thames River, where the boy could see boats and bridges and the skyline of London. The curtains were red and white striped, matching the bedspread and the rug. The bed was a wooden bunk bed, with a ladder and a slide. The boy slept on the top bunk, while the bottom one was used as a play area. He had a teddy bear, a cowboy hat, and a toy gun on his pillow. He also had a collection of comic books, magazines, and newspapers on his bedside table. He liked to read about superheroes, astronauts, and spies. He had a poster of James Bond on his wall, next to a framed photo of his family. The boy had a wooden chest at the foot of his bed, where he stored his treasures and secrets. He had a model car, a train set, a telescope, a globe, and a map of the world. He liked to pretend that he was an explorer, a driver, or a spy. He had a closet that was full of clothes and costumes. He had a suit, a cape, a helmet, and a mask. He liked to dress up and act out different roles. He had a desk and a chair in the corner of his room, where he did his homework and drew pictures. He had a pencil case, a ruler, scissors, and glue. He liked to cut out images from magazines and newspapers and make collages. He had a radio on his desk, where he listened to music and news. He liked to sing along and dance. He had a shelf above his desk, where he displayed his trophies and medals. He had won them for swimming, running, and chess. He was proud of his achievements and skills. He had a lamp on his desk, that he turned on when it was dark. He liked to read and write stories before he went to sleep. He had a diary, a notebook, and a pen. He wrote about his dreams and adventures. He had a vivid and creative mind.
Looking around, his headache slowly subdued and he slowly integrated the memory of this body. Standing in front of the wardrobe looking in the mirror stood a small fat boy around the age of five, with a large, round face, plump cheeks, and broad shoulders, which showed his strength and confidence, blond hair, and blue eyes, which she said sparkled like sapphires, a round belly, and a snub nose which gave him a character and personality.
Just as he was adapting to the new changes, a light screen appeared in front of his eyes, and a loading screen was displayed on it.
1% ... 2% ... 3% ...
It was loading very slowly; with the progress, I guess it would take at least a few hours. He guessed this as his golden finger.
Just as he was in his thoughts there was a knock on the door and then the door was pushed open and a beautiful blond lady with blue eyes and a voluminous figure. She saw that Alan had woken up.
"Alan go brush and freshen up, and come down for breakfast", she said and turned around.
