After waking up and realizing that when I walked pass a mirror in my room it wasn’t my girlfriend staring back at me. It was my own reflection. I panicked and called up my girlfriend. Which wasn’t easy as I former had fingers and a quite handy thumb.

‘Ring Ring Ring’

“You have some nerve calling me”.
...
“Oh? Hehe That’s interesting. Must’ve been that charm I got for you. The one I got you for your birthday. Told you to always wear it. Glad you least took that too heart”.
...
“The charm has an interesting...side effect. Only happens if person gifted it does something wrong to person they received it from”
...
“Of course you can’t take it off, that’s part of the magic or in your case curse. You can’t remove it, your parents can’t remove it. Maybe you can ask my sister? ... Nah. She’s probably busy sleeping with other guys... I mean guessing your not used to your new wings. I wonder how long it took you to actually use your phone? Probably would have made me laugh if my heart wasn’t broken”
...
“Wow, 2 hours. Better get used to them. I don’t think it should be a problem for long. I’m sure you’ll learn soon. Kinda a matter of life and death. I mean I do dislike you very much but kinda don’t wanna see you die”.
...
“Yes, you deserve this for cheating on me. I can’t believe you. With my own sister! I thought you loved me? What does she have that I don’t! ...But hey look on the bright side of things. With a body like mine...well yours, as well you can sleep with anyone. Guys, ladies... *sighs* I don’t care”.
...
Yea, it supposed to make you like me. So you can look in the mirror and be reminded what you lost....not only me but yourself.
...
How can it be a mistake? The charm only curses you if you cheated. There is no mistake.
...
“You can’t apologize now. Only I can remove curse and quite frankly I don’t feel like it. Good luck to you sweetie. I know you’ll enjoy that new body of yours”.

‘Hangs up’

It was true, I had cheated on my girlfriend. I already felt guilty enough. It was a moment of weakness. Her slightly older and single sister seemed to have a thing for humans. Now I’m paying the price. How long will I stay like this? How can I explain this to my parents who weren’t to keen on me dating a anthropomorphic blue bird in the first place.

We were friends at first then we hit it off. I was so lucky to have her. I’ve never felt more stupid in my entire life. Beside my shirt no longer actually fitting me and the gaping hole in my underwear where a tail popped out of. I have to find a way to make it up to her, if I can...
