I was perfect to begin with (Patreon)

“God, I look so perfect,” Lindsay purred. She had always been self-conscious about her looks. She felt like she could never measure up to the other women she saw around her. It also didn’t help that she came from a family of successful models. Her family’s wealth was built upon their good looks. So when she came across a cursed mask that promised to transform her body into a beautiful woman, she jumped at the chance to buy it. It was the one thing that could make her as cute as her sisters.

She reached up and cupped her perfect, transformed breasts with a naughty smile. She started using the mask on a daily basis, going out to bars and clubs to hit on men and to get attention. And now she craved for more. She loved the way she looked and the way people treated her. But the more Lindsay used the mask, the more she wanted to keep it on. She started to neglect her friends and her job, and she became obsessed with her new appearance.

One day, as she was getting ready to go out, she felt herself losing control of her body. Suddenly, her hands reached up and removed the mask from her face. She was horrified to see that she was trapped in the mask, and her old body was smiling down at her.

“Wow, it’s about time you got attached to the mask,” her lips laughed. Lindsay was looking up at her perfect smile and flowing blonde hair. “Literally attached to the mask. Love that. Sorry, hun, you were just the perfect person to do this to. A rich family, a cute face … yes. A very cute face - you’re not as ugly as you thought you were. It’s a shame you never realized it before it was too late.” The body thief winked at the mask. “My name’s April. I was the one who sold you this. Don’t worry, with time, the mask will absorb your soul to recharge it. Just take a breather and relax until that happens. No sense in fighting it.”

Lindsay couldn’t believe what was happening. She later learned that April had been waiting for her to darken her soul. She had cursed the mask so that anyone who used it would become trapped in it. Now that Lindsay wanted to keep her transformed body, her soul had attached to the mask, and April was free to start her life over as her. April had used a separate spell to possess the now empty body.

Lindsay was devastated. She realized that she had been foolish to believe that physical beauty was the key to happiness. She was trapped in the mask, unable to move or speak, and she knew that she would be stuck like this forever. April, on the other hand, was now living the life of Lindsay, using her identity and resources to enjoy the things she always wanted.
