Mattie in a Naked World.
Mattie woke up this morning and found herself back in the days of the natural state of the unclothed-ness of existence. People were walking around quite naked, literally... as if it was the most natural thing in the world. The non wearing of clothing had long been behind Mattie for over 90,000 to 170,000 years ago...yet here she was surrounded by a wonder of nakedness. She looked down on her nude state and had the distinctive urge to cover herself.

My new form, though petulant and quite sulky, still yearned in anticipation - leaning eagerly toward the accumulation of new knowledge and for my personality to be shaped by experience.
