When I met Max, I was a boy, which is not to say that I’m a boy right now. I was black-haired, hazel-eyed, six feet tall and burly: a good look, a safe look for that afternoon and evening. I put on the best skin for walking the city, and often it’s safer to change sex. To be inconspicuous as a man, it’s important to have been inconspicuous as a woman, and I am a little brown sparrow of a person. I was a sparrow this morning. That still shows in the way my brain is hopping from place to place: quick, sharp, beating my wings against the brisk wind, throwing my shadow on the sidewalk below.
Special thanks to my writing buddy Devin Harnois for telling me about the wonders of Six Sentence Sunday.

Interesting six!
I enjoyed your description of how she selected her appearance for the surroundings, but how the tiny person remained inside. Nice!
Great insite into his thoughts. Good deep POV paragraph. Thanks for sharing!
I love the idea of the shape-shifter still thinking like a sparrow, as if none of the forms he/she takes ever really leave.
So intriguing to follow the through process as the shifter changes form. Great snip!
Fantastic writing! I’m already intrigued with this character. Tell us more. 🙂

Oh, that’s fun. I like the sparrow with thoughts hopping from place to place. (I have friends like that. I will now call them sparrows)
Intriguing six…
