Too funny! Great twist in the end. I certainly did not expect that.

When I saw this needed review number fifteen, I went for it!

Good stuff!

What a surprising ending or twist to the story. It would be shocking to know a person from before but is totally different now. Like the mystery story. A good beginning and ending.

A innovative take on this writing prompt. Thank goodness, Sandra didn't turn out to be Charlie. Totally believable. I contacted a favorite former male student of mine through Facebook only to find out that this beautiful slender blonde lad 'came out' in college. His parents supported the change as he went extreme and donned make-up and dresses. He/she married a good-looking man anyway.

This well written story is imaginative and captivating. The description of the meeting with Charlie's sister leads the reader to wonder why there isn't more about Charlie. The surprising twist at the end answers the question. Well done. Best wishes in the contest.

Cool story.
It made me wonder whether Charlie recognized the narrator. Of course, he/she must have.
Very nicely written.
Good luck in the contest.

This is a story with an unexpected twist. It works! I like that your character doesn't shy away from meeting Charlie again. Many. If not most, would find it uncomfortable.

This is an interesting entry for the contest. I suspected something was up when the main character was talking about Sandra, but I figured that she was Charlie! You took me by surprise. Well done.

I guess these days we just never know who might be working the desk where we work under a new identity and makeup. Great job of saving the punch for the last sentence! Thanks for sharing.
