Russian

When the librarian grabbed Jim’s arms and started speaking in a strange language, he was a little taken aback. But when she completed and he ended up swapping bodies with her, he was downright in shock. The only advice she gave him before bolting out of the building was that if he wanted to ever switch back that he’d “better start learning Russian.”

Jim wondered if that was the language she had been speaking? Was it some sort of spell in Russian? Maybe a book in the library had an answer. He went to the section with all the foreign language books. Of course, he could understand a thing. How could he ever even begin to be able to hope to find a way to swap back? There were so many books, and it would take forever to even begin to know enough to merely start to know where to look.

Another Sixty

Harriet was quite surprised when, as a result of the Great Shift, she found herself in the body of a much younger woman. Her first concern was finding her husband of sixty years, George. Despite the fact that he was now in a much younger body as well -- and a woman on top of that -- she still was able to recognize him almost immediately simply from his mannerism. They began to kiss, and Harriet was thankful to find her husband while also feeling fortunate that they could probably now live another sixty years together.

George returned the affection, but something felt off. He couldn’t quite place it at first, but he son realized that he had a woman’s body now, which meant he also had a woman’s hormones. While he still loved Harriet very much, his body craved the embrace of a man -- not another woman. As they kissed, he opened his eyes and looked around the room as he started to fantasize about being with a man instead...

And so Jason pushed his feelings of pain down as he stood up again. It wasn’t easy to steady himself, and he was pretty sure that walking was going to be completely impossible for now. But at least he was standing!

He also hoped that his headache would go away soon. It was hard for him to focus on much of anything else, and he had an entirely new body to worry about! It was al so much to take in. He was sure Evie would help him, and he’d have to help her too of course

Standing up was just the first step...

After several minutes, Jason attempted to stand despite his aching head. Unfortunately, this made the pain worse and coupled with the unfamiliar heels on his feet, Jason soon found he was picking himself up off the floor. He couldn’t fathom why this was so disorienting for him, especially when Evie was standing just a few feet away in his body with seemingly having had absolutely no trouble adjusting whatsoever. He told himself that he could do this. He could fight through the pain. And he could even stand in these damned high heels if he wanted to!

Jason dropped his head back down onto the couch. He couldn’t believe he had swapped bodies with Evie! He hadn’t had too much time to really consider his new body since his head was still throbbing.

“What did you do to yourself before this whole thing?” Jason asked, “My head is killing me.”

“They said on the news that a minor headache could be a side effect,” Evie explained.

“This isn’t minor. I feel like my head could burst any second.”

Jason shifted on the couch, noting how strange his body felt but still not yet registering why.

“Who are you?” He asked, “Why do you look like me?”

“I’m Evie, your roommate. There was some sort of weird body swapping thing.”

“Body swapping? So am I--” Jason paused as he pulled on the long hair now on his head, “--Am I you? This is so weird.”

“Tell me about it.”

Awaken (Part 1)

Jason awoke with a terrible headache. He hadn’t quite remembered falling asleep on the couch, but he figured he must’ve dozed off while watching television, even if he couldn’t remember it. He groaned, noting how the sound coming from his throat seemed weird. Then he rolled onto his stomach, also realizing something about his body felt odd. He heard a few footsteps and saw a shadow looming over him. He turned his head slightly and said, “I have a headache. I just want to get back to napping.”

He didn’t even have time to register the odd tone of his voice. Instead, he was shocked to see that the figure standing next to him was...well, him. Or rather, it was his body.

Can't Go Out Like That

“See you later, Liz,” Kent said to his daughter as he headed to the door.

“Dad, wait, you can’t go out wearing that!” Liz protested.

“Why not? It’s exactly the same outfit that you were going to wear yesterday.”

“Exactly, and you made me change.”

“Right, because you’re my daughter. But I’m a grown man. I can wear whatever I want.”

“No, you WERE a grown man,” Liz said angrily, “That is until we swapped bodies. Now you’re in MY body!”

“In which case I’ll use the same argument you tried to yesterday. I am a twenty one year old grown woman, and you can’t tell me what to do. You may have my body, but you aren’t MY family. I am not living under YOUR roof. This is MY roof. Which means I get to make the rules.”

“Your roof? I bet if we went to the bank right now they wouldn’t think it was your roof. I look like the guy who writes the checks for the mortgage.”

“...And I’m still doing the work to pay for that mortgage. Luckily, they let me work from home.”

Both Liz and her dad paused.

“We’re pretty much both screwed if we don’t swap back soon, aren’t we?” Liz finally sighed, breaking the silence.

SwApp

“Can one of you explain to me why this app is so popular?” Jeff said while nervously looking for an undo button.

“It’s a body swapper. I guess it’s sort of cool to be someone else for a while. You’ve got to admit it’s sort of impressive,” Caitlyn replied.

“That’s easy for you to say,” Natalie retorted, “You got my body. You’re still the same gender at least. I’m stuck in Jeff’s body, and he’s stuck in yours.”

“Hey, I’m not comfortable with the idea of Jeff being in my body, but you’ve got to admit that the fact our phones can even do something like this says a lot about technological advances.”

“It’s not like I’m going to do anything weird with your body!” Jeff interjected, “I just think it’s probably best before I have to do something like go pee.”

“That’s exactly what I’m talking about...”

Rural (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.
Daryl knew his mom was worried about him, and he obviously knew he should swap everyone back to normal, return to his own body, and let her know he was okay. However, he wanted to spend just a little more time in Pam’s body. There was just so much he hadn’t done yet! He told himself it would just be a few more minutes, but then minutes turned to hours and he found himself wearing a breezy summer dress. Everything about this just felt so right.

But as much as he was enjoying being a woman -- being Pam -- he knew it wouldn’t last. He did need to get back to normal, so he trudged over to the shed. But his body was gone; the dog’s body was gone. If he couldn’t find both of them, he was going to be stuck like this! That thought didn’t bother him on some level, but he knew his mom would certainly worry and he just couldn’t do that to her!

Rural

Liz had grown quite worried about her son Daryl. She hadn’t seen him for several hours now, and she was getting worried. He hadn’t enjoyed when their family had moved to the farm in the rural town, and she was worried he had run away. She began to search a little bit when she saw her neighbor, Pam, sitting on a tractor in her field.

“Pam, you haven’t seen Daryl around, have you?” Liz asked nervously.

What Liz didn’t know was on the edge of their property was a small shed that contained a body swapping machine. Daryl had been using it pretty much non-stop since he found him. It just so happened that today he had swapped with Pam, leaving Pam stuck in her dog’s body while her dog was in his body.

“I’m sure he’s fine,” Daryl said with smile, knowing perfectly well that it was the truth.

“I’ve just been worried since we moved here. He doesn’t tell me anything anymore. He seems miserable.”

“I bet he was at first, but this town has a way of growing on people. I’m sure he’s just hanging out with some new friends he’s made, or maybe he found some other way to enjoy himself.”

“I hope you’re right, Pam.”

Coma

Adam wasn’t sure how long he had been in the coma. It may have been months; it may have been years. Throughout it all, he could hear everything the doctors said -- their concerns, their efforts, and even their occasional insults. Lately they were talking about unplugging him. Considering his state, Adam wondered if it might not be so bad; he wished for nothing more than to be out of this hospital bed. But right before the plug was to be pulled, he had an amazing out of body experience. Suddenly he was looking at himself, and he realized he was doing so while standing in the body of one of the doctors. He didn’t want to say anything or call attention to himself. He just wanted to quietly take this woman’s body and sneak out, enjoy the outside for the first time forever -- basically just enjoy life. But before he could do that, he’d have to play up his role. So for the time being, he just looked serious and listened.

Missed Connection (Part 3)

Click here for Part 1.
Click here for Part 2.
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his own body approach. His plan had worked. Now it was just a matter of swapping back to normal. However, neither he nor the woman trapped in his body had any idea on how to do that. They discussed with each other for quite some time, but didn’t have way to solve the problem of being in each other’s body. Eventually, they just started discussing how they were going to each deal with their new body. Matthew was pretty unhappy about the thought of being stuck as a flight attendant, walking up and down the aisle of a plane all day in these heels. He was pretty sure his new life was going to be miserable...

Missed Connection (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.
Matthew figured the smartest course of action would be to head back to where he last remembered being in his body. He wanted to sprint, but the heels now on his feet limited his walking speed. He had to even hold onto a railing to keep from falling most of the time. How did women wear these things? It had only been about ten minutes, he was still far from where he had been, and his feet were killing him. Then he came up with a plan. If he was in the body of a flight attendant, surely he could just get on the intercom and call for himself? He noted the woman’s name on the security badge and set about with his plan...

Missed Connection

Because of a delay on his initial flight, Matthew was forced to run through his layover if he hoped to make his connecting flight. As he sprinted through the airport, all he could think about was making it on time. However, just as he thought that caught sight of his gate, he tripped and fell. He tried to scramble his belongings and get back on his feet, but instead of his briefcase, he saw a purse. Instead of his sneakers, he saw high heels. Realizing those heels were on his feet was a shock. It was dawning on him that he had become a woman -- he had swapped bodies with a stewardess. He wasn’t concerned with catching his flight anymore; he was now more worried about getting his body back!

Couldn't Stop Himself

When James first had his body stolen and he ended up stuck in the body of the magic taxi’s driver, he was in a state of panic. But as he spent more and more driving people around, he started to actually enjoy it. In fact, by the time he read the driver’s journal and found that he to could steal someone’s body just as his had been stolen, he wasn’t sure he even wanted to. It was about two weeks after he resigned himself to being in this body for good when n Asian woman in a silver coat entered his cab. There was just something about her. He avoided talking to her -- he didn’t want to temp himself by learning to much. It didn’t matter. When it was time to pay the fare, he wished her a nice day and suddenly found himself in her body. He wasn’t sure how or why, but he just couldn’t stop himself from stealing her body. But he smiled...he couldn’t complain either...

Target

Roger had gotten the file on his latest target. The guy was a high level operative for a rival drug operation, but he had a great cover -- a life in the suburbs with kids and a beautiful wife. After a period of intense research, Roger strapped himself into an odd chair in his basement and pressed a button.

In an instant Roger was transported into a new body -- in this case, the wife of the man he was supposed to kill. This was exactly how it was planned to work; he used a machine to swap himself into the body of someone close to his target, make a kill, then return to his own body while the person he swapped with got the blame. Being swapped into a preppy suburban mom was certainly unique for him -- he was usually swapped with some low life thug -- but it wasn’t going to stop him. He only had three hours in this body, which meant he only had three hours to find and kill this jerk..

Headphones

Per the instructions of the researcher, Evan put on the headphones and listened to the various soothing sounds. He was to keep them on until it was silent. He estimated it was about thirty minutes before that happened, at which time he removed the headphones.

“And how do you feel?” The researcher asked.

“Fine,” Evan replied.

“Do you notice anything strange?”

Evan shrugged, not realizing his body had completely changed -- transforming him into the person who participated in the experiment right before him. Even though he still wore his own clothes he was now a woman, and he didn’t even realize it...

Counselor

“Why the hell did you bring me here, Liz? The last thing we need right now is a marriage counselor.”

“Because you’ve been acting weird ever since the Great Shift, Hank.”

“Of course I have been! I got stuck in the body of a chick! I’m acting weird because it IS weird! Then you make me go to the this counselor and you insist I wear a skirt! I hate having to wear your clothes as it is.”

“Very good. Now save all that for when we see the counselor.”

After changing into some more comfortable clothing, Ash went out to look for Manaphy. It felt weird hunting Pokemon while in Lillie’s body, and he was probably overly cautious as to make sure not to harm it. But with Pikachu by his side, he was sure he could solve this problem. But as days passed, nothing got resolved. They didn’t find Manaphy and Ash was still stuck in Lillie’s body...

Ash’s first order of business was to find his Pokemon. When he came across Pikachu, he was worried about how he would explain this. Luckily, Ash’s bond with the electric mouse Pokemon was very strong and Pikachu recognized his trainer instantly, no matter what body he currently had. Reunited with his best friend, Ash now knew the next part of his task would be to track down a Manaphy to help reverse this Heart Swap and get his own body back!

Heart Swap (Part 1)

It was widely known that Pokemon raised in the Alolan region turned out slightly different than their original counterparts. When a rare Manaphy was smuggled into the region, few could’ve anticipated the events. The mythical Pokemon’s Heart Swap power quickly became magnified and trainers across the region soon became affected. When Ash suddenly found himself in Lillie’s body, he couldn’t contain his shock. He let out an ear-piercing scream, which only made him even more distraught once he heard his now higher pitched voice.

Sizes

Shortly after The Great Shift, an abandoned store was set up in a manner that allowed people to drop off clothes that no longer fit or pick up new items that might. Greg had gone every day. He hated being a woman; he knew nothing about women’s sizes. The first day, he just grabbed a bunch of stuff. Once he thought he figured out his size, he grabbed more items the next day. But he found that sizes weren’t exactly consistent. It was obnoxious as he kept going back, playing what felt like a game of guess and check.

As bad as Gabrielle’s home life seemed to be, her work life was worse. Nick wasn’t exactly thrilled to be an executive assistant at a fashion magazine. He also wasn’t happy about having to wear a skirt. When he arrived on Monday morning, he was immediately called into the boss’s office and berated for not remembering the coffee. He just gave her a blank expression as she babbled on and on, seemingly enjoying the sound of her own voice.

He began wondering if he actually died after collapsing. Living Gabrielle’s life didn’t seem so much like a body swap as it did like his own personal hell.

Sudden Collapse (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.
Before Nick could think too much about the woman now was, another woman approached. She started babbling about her precious daughter and the traumatic experience she just witnessed. Nick very quickly realized the woman was talking about him. He found out this body’s name was Gabrielle, and she was in her 20s and still lived with a very overbearing mother.

Gabrielle’s mom was shocked her “baby” had seen a man die right in front of her and took her to see a psychiatrist the very next day. Nick wasn’t quite sure what to say. He just put his feet up on the table and stayed quiet most of the time. Mostly, he wanted to talk about who he really was; about the fact that he wasn’t Gabrielle at all. But with her mom insisting on sitting in, he found it quite impossible to share this fact.

Sudden Collapse (Part 1)

Nick was in a state of shock. He had just felt a little light headed, and the next thing he know he was watching his own body collapse onto the ground. He hadn’t quite realized how he was able to see his own body collapse, he was more concerned with the bloody wound he could see on his own head. He called out for help, suddenly becoming aware of the higher pitched voice coming from his mouth. He could see himself over there because he was over here -- in someone else’s body! A woman’s body! None of his made any sense whatsoever!

Eventually, the neighbors returned home with disappointing news. No one had found Eric’s body, the kid, or the body swapping gun. No one heard of any additional swaps either. The old eccentric inventor told everyone he’d start working on a new version right away, though it may take some time to complete. Until then, everyone was stuck. Eric felt particularly awkward to be stuck with Riri Nakamoro’s body. At least she offered to loan his some clothes -- though it seemed she exclusively owned dresses and heeled footwear. He often thought about buying some less feminine stuff, but he kept hoping things would be resolved any day now.

Months passed.

The old man had eventually finished the new version of the body swapping gun. It took a while to figure out who to swap with who. Eric waited, knowing he was going to be one of the last to swap back since his body was still missing. He knew Riri would want her own body back, even though he was kind of getting used to it at this point. He started doing the math as to who he might wind up as in the end...

Several hours passed, and no one seemed to return. Not one of the swapped neighbors nor the kid with the body swapping gun. In fact, the first person to come by Eric’s door was Mr. Nakamoro. He was certainly surprised to see what he thought was hit wife lounging about in Eric’s house wearing a bikini.

He didn’t seem happy.

In fact, Mr. Nakamoro yelled a whole lot in Japanese, and Eric was glad he didn’t understand a word of it. But Eric did try to quickly calm him down to explain what happened. Since Mr. Nakamoro lived in the neighborhood, the idea of body swapping seemed reasonable enough, but why the bikini?

Eric honestly didn’t know either. She had just been wearing it when they swapped, and he hadn’t changed. He also explained how he was getting worried that they weren’t going to find the ray gun to swap everyone back to normal.

Most of the swapped neighbors went out in search of Eric’s body and the body swapping gun, but Eric was a little more hesitant. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to find his body and swap back as soon as possible, he just wasn’t exactly comfortable with the idea of running around in Riri’s body. Instead, he volunteered to stay behind in case the kid came back. Mostly that meant lounging about on the couch and watching television. He didn’t even bother changing out of the bikini. After a few hours, he finally did start to feel more comfortable, but he was also starting to worry that no one seemed to have found his body or the body swapping gun yet.

Saturday (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.
Even with everything strange that had happened in his neighborhood over the past few months, it was still hard for Eric to accept that he was now inside the body of his neighbor, Riri Nakamoro. He felt the long hair on his head, the weight on his chest, the slenderness of his arms and waist. It was all so weird, but why would she do this to him?

Simply put, she didn’t. As he soon learned, the old inventor across the street had created a body swapping ray gun that had gotten into the hands of one of the kids on the street. While Eric was now in Riri’s body, Riri was in the body of the old man. The old man was in the body of a young, female college student on the block. About a dozen others were swapped in some way. No one could find the kid’s body or Eric’s body that now had the kid inside. Things were going to be messy for a while.
