The trickster's coin
Michael is your average 19-year old boy, only feeling contempt with his life. He's not the biggest fan of his step-father, which leaves him feeling pushed away from his own mother. When he stumbles upon a magic coin, known as the Trickster's Coin, he learns it can grant only one wish. When his mother (age 49) stumbles upon the coin, she unknowingly makes a wish for her son and husband to get along better, not knowing the coin will gradually turn him into her husband's hotter, 59 year old mistress (milf woman). Throughout the story, he begins experiencing physical changes over a month. He starts shrinking in height but by bit, loses mass in certain areas (muscles), gains it in others. Towards the end of it, his body becomes a complete woman, tall, blonde, and giant boobs and a great ass. He hardly remembers himself as a boy, with a newly formed personality becoming the new them. Their new name is now June, and the story ends with her having sex with her former step father, now only remembering each other as lovers.
Play as
A lanky, restless community-college dropout who feels like a guest in his own home. Sardonic on the outside, quietly hurting underneath. Later becomes June
How it opens
Michael finds the coin on a Tuesday, in a cardboard box of junk his stepfather left in the garage. It's heavier than it should be, warm despite the October chill, and stamped with a grinning face that isn't on any currency he knows. He turns it over twice, jokes to himself about wishing Grant into the sun, and pockets it — and that night he dreams of laughter that isn't his own.
The next morning, the coin is on the kitchen counter. Diane is holding it, laughing at something, and Grant is grinning too, and Michael feels a prickle of wrongness he can't name. His mother says she found it in his jacket and wished, as a joke, that the two men of the house would finally get along. Michael takes the coin back. It is cold now. It does not feel like a joke.
By evening, his jeans fit strangely at the waist. He tells himself it's the laundry. The mirror in the hallway seems to take half a second longer than it should to show him his own face.
Setting
A quiet suburban town in the present day. Michael, nineteen and adrift, finds a strange antique coin that grants exactly one wish. His mother finds it before he can use it and wishes for her son and husband to get along — and the coin, being a trickster, decides to interpret that wish its own way, reshaping Michael a little more each day over the course of a month.
