After about a week without a word from the hospital, Jeff was getting worried. He called the hospital first, but they said there was not a patient with that name. But if his body wasn’t there, where had it gone?

While the professor was out teaching a class, Jeff decided to explore the house, eventually realizing a door in the basement that he had never been in and was presently locked. With a few tools, he managed to break it down. Behind the door was like a small apartment with a bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom.Sure enough, in one of the rooms was his body, hooked up to all sorts of machines and tubes. He was thankful it was alive, but what sort of condition was it in? And why was it here and not at the hospital? What didn’t he know?

Ready to move onto the second phase, Z’xyw needed to return to his ship and transform back to normal. He quickly encountered a glitch as he tried to transport back to his ship; it didn’t recognize his DNA due to his human disguise.

The solution seemed simple enough, transform back to normal first. This had a glitch of its own. It seemed the planet Earth was so far from K’laxor that the DNA of humans didn’t interact like other species they had previously encountered. They were just too distant and different. Z’xyw attempted to return to normal, but only managed to return his skin to a healthy color and gain just a slight bit of his height. The small changes were not enough to get the ship to teleport him back, and Z’xyw felt disgusted to be stuck in the body of a human. Worse still, he was starting to feel what he could only assume must be human emotions. He could now distinguish the male humans due to an extreme sense of lust. But his new body gave him no clues on how this species mated. His mouth seemed far too small and teeth far too dull to instantly disembowel these “males,” and his claws were far too soft to rip out the men’s eggs for him to impregnate. While much about humans had been so easy to understand, it seemed that Z’xyw still had a lot to learn.

“What the hell?” Jenna yelled as she saw Chad and Hannah kissing on a bench.

Hannah mumbled, “I thought we had agreed on trying to keep up appearances.”

“This is taking it too far and you know it! And you’re should be looking for a way to turn us back to normal anyway!” Jenna then turned from Hannah to Chad, “And this is like cheating on me!”

“Is it? I mean, technically, you were right here,” Chad then gestured down at the fact that he currently had Jenna’s body, “And, plus, I’m one good lookin’ dude! I mean, I always knew I was, but your body like really feels it. When am I ever going to have the opportunity to be with myself like this?”

Jenna fumed. She knew her boyfriend was egotistical, but this crossed a line. He also didn’t know when to shut up.

Chad continued, “Besides, we used a c*****.”

Jenna slapped Chad as hard as Hannah arm could manage. Then she cried and ran off. She hated being in Hannah’s body, but right now, she wasn’t sure she even wanted her own body back...

Decision (Part 1)

It had been about two weeks since Charlotte had stolen my body. I still don’t even know why she did it, but I was about to find out and (hopefully) get my body back.

When it first happened, none of my friends believed me when I told them who I really was. They thought I was simply Charlotte playing some sort of weird prank. Nobody except Emily, that is. I didn’t even have to prove it; she just told me could tell. I was thankful to have the help, and Emily and I spent all this time trying to find where Charlotte ran off to with my body.

That’s why were in this club, but just I was about to comfront her, I felt a tugging. I turned around to see Emily crying.

“What’s wrong?” I yelled over the throbbing bass in the club.

“Don’t do it, Jacob,” She said, “I like you. I’ve always liked you. But, big confession here, I’m a lesbian. And I knew it wouldn’t have worked in your old body. But in Charlotte’s body? Look, I don’tknow why she did it, but I like you like this. These two weeks haven’t been terrible, have they? Please, stay wit me.”

I didn’t know what to do. If I didnt comfront Charlotte now, I’d probably never get my body back. But this was a chance to be with Emily, who I will admit I had a crush on for the longest time...

Everything

Eric was visiting the resort with his wife, Carly. So far, the vacation had been pleasant with Eric spending most of the time with Carly. The only exception would be his morning workout, which mostly consisted of a run on the beach.

But this morning, he noticed a small cave while on his run that he hadn’t seen before. He thought about going to tell Carly, so they could explore it together; however, his immediate curiosity got the better of him.

A weird glow appeared to be emanating from the middle of the cave, but as Eric came closer, a strange fungus exploded, filling the air with a magical pink mist that Eric inhaled. In that moment everything changed.

The glow dimmed to nothing, and Eric became Erin. Without skipping a beat, he became she; and she struggled to find her way in the dark back to the entrance.

A little rattled, Erin made her way back to her room. She screamed when instead of finding her husband Carl in the room, there was a woman. Carly was equally shocked to see what she thought was a strange woman entering.

“Who the hell are you? What are you doing in my room? And what did you do to my husband, Carl?” Erin shouted.“This is obviously my room! My husband Eric and I...” Suddenly, Carly looked closely at Erin’s face, “Wait...is that you, Eric?”

Erin looked around the room with a sudden sense of intense fear. It was like she had just noticed something. Instead of being frantic, her voice became a whisper, “No, you must be right. I must have the wrong room. It’s...it’s backwards. Everything is arranged reverse from what it was...but it all is. It’s all backwards; it’s all wrong. Everything.”
