(Male to hairbrush to snap hairclip, Woman to hair tie)

It was a windy day and I was in town sitting on a bench with my head down low, keeping the wind from annoying too much. I was waiting for my bus, which I had just missed, so I focused on my phone until the next one arrived. This was a quiet stop, only used my a couple of routes, but still was visible enough to be safe.

I was browsing Facebook on my phone when I heard a bus pull up. I looked up for a moment wondering if it was mine, even though I knew it was unlikely. Of course it wasn’t and it was dropping one person off, a woman. She looked quite beautiful, with eyes like jade that looked like they pierced through your very soul, high cheekbones, a narrow jaw, and a thin mischievous smile. Her long straight blonde hair went just past her shoulders but was rather messy. She was wearing brown boots, dark blue jeans and a white sleeveless blouse. She walked over to me and gave me a polite smile.

“Excuse me, I don’t mean to impose but do you mind helping me tidy up my hair?” she asked.

I looked at her as the wind blew her hair into her mouth and eyes. She swept it away as she waited for my response.

“Um… how am I meant to do that exactly?” I asked her. It was a strange request to get from a stranger though I probably would’ve helped her out if I knew how.

“Oh great, so you will help me,” she said as she raised her hand towards me. “Now this might hurt a little but it’s perfectly safe.”

I was about to ask what she meant by that when my body went stiff and I was lifted up from the park bench by some mysterious force. My legs snapped together and my arms were forced by my side. I began to shrink as my legs fused together and my arm merged with the rest of my body. Everything above my waist widened as my features faded away and my skin grew dark, becoming plastic. The wider part of my body start to grow a soft pad, including where my ‘face’ was and long black bristles grew evenly across the pad. In what seemed like a lift time but has only been a few seconds, I had gone from being a human into being a hairbrush.

“Thank you so much,” the lady said as she picked me up and placed me in her handbag with her phone, purse and other items. “I left my hairbrush at home and the wind messed up my hair. I’m meeting with a few friends shortly and I’d hate to meet them looking like this. You’re a lifesaver.”

My phone and wallet were then added to her handbag as she walked away from the bus stop. She then walked for quite a while and in my current position I swung back and forth as if I was in a hammock and while that was relaxing, my current form frightened me. When she pulled me out of her bag I noticed we were in doors and more notably in a woman’s bathroom.

She didn’t even say a word to me this time as she grabbed me by the legs and brushed me through her hair. I was blinded by the long strands but it also felt so silky and smooth, though some strands stayed between my bristles. After about ten minutes of going through her hair she put me down on the bench, squeezing my body as she pulled the loose strands of of me. I was on a bad angle to see the woman or her reflection but from the position I was in her hair looked a lot neater.

A toilet door behind us flushed and another woman stepped out. My captor didn’t even speak to her this time as she aimed her hand towards her, and she bent down into an impossible O shape as a metal clip connected her head to her feat. Next the woman’s body began to change into a string like shape as she became pink and fuzzy. She had become a hair tie.

My captor picked the poor woman off the ground as she grabbed some of her hair, and put up into a ponytail, using the other woman to secure it. It wasn’t perfectly neat and there were a few strands of hair still around my captor’s face. She then looked down at me again with a wicked smile as she aimed her hand towards me.

The bristles I had grown earlier retreated into my body again as I shrunk even more. My soft pad soon faded away as my body became thin and turned into metal. My ‘feet’ grew wider as my head ended in a point. I now looked like I had steep triangle shape, with curved sides. Next I felt several holes begin to form in my body and I felt my ‘head’ split in half. The woman held me up to the mirror to reveal I had become a pink snap hair clip. She then bent my body in half, cause my head to split in two, as she slid me into her hair and bent me back into my normal position as I secured her hair in place.

I felt dazed and my thoughts were hazy as my head had a layer of hair between the two halves. I was also at an angle where I couldn’t see much but the sealing. I followed this woman around for the rest of the day as she met up with her friends and complimented her on her hair, which I had straightened out.

After she met up with them she headed back to the bus stop where she encountered me and I expected she would take me out now and return me to normal, however when her bus arrived I knew that wouldn’t be the case. I was in too much of a daze to be mad however and just rested in her hair as she took me and the other lady back to her apartment.

The first thing she did when she got there was head into her bathroom and unclipped me from her hair and placed me in a container with other clips of different shapes. She then untied the other woman and placed her in a separate container. She kept me in the open position so I still struggled maintaining my thoughts but one thing was clear, we were objects to her. She didn’t address us in anyway and instead got undressed as if we weren’t even there and hopped into the shower.

It wasn’t until she had gotten out and wrapped a towel around herself that she finally looked at me. “Oops, I guess I forgot you were there,” she said as she snapped me back together. “It’s so easy to forget who I turned into an object. Though now I’m a little embarrassed because you just saw me naked. You don’t mind if I keep you like that do you…..?” She asked and I began to beg to be changed back and told her I didn’t really see a thing. “Great! I’m glad you decided to stay with me. So how about you get to know the others and I’ll see you in the morning.”
