Feet

Daniel was confused. One minute he was watching the livestream of influencer, and the next minute he was on the other side of stream and inside her body. He didn’t quite know what to say to keep things going as he watched a few messages of concern. Then he noticed a few more messages from guys saying rather disgusting things and offering to pay for one thing or another. A fairly common ask was to see her feet with offers ranging from five dollars up to a hundred.

Daniel felt so weird about this, though he didn’t exact see much harm in showing her feet and maybe getting some extra cash for it. That is, until he looked down at her feet. They weren’t exactly what he expected, and he wasn’t sure if they were what the guys on the livestream expected either. They were sort of gnarly and gross, like being shoved into high heels too many times or too much ballet dancing.

Then again, maybe he should get that cash and give them exactly what they asked for...

Addiction

Jessica didn’t feel all that weir about swapping bodies at first. Sure, she was a male -- and could perhaps use a shower -- but she felt normal enough. That is until she heard the sound of her own voice screaming. She ran around the corner to see her body trying to scratch its own skin off.

“Get it off, Man! It’s not real!” Jessica’s body screamed.

Of course, seeing Jessica only freaked out whoever was in her body more. “Why do you have my face, Man!?” Jessica’s body screamed.

She looked at the way her former body shook. As a social worker, she knew the signs. The man was an addict, and (perhaps strangely) that seemed to all pass into her body when they swapped. After all, Jessica was in his body and didn’t seem to feel any of it at all. Then again, seeing her own body act this way was highly disturbing.

Weekend Farmer's Market

The Farmer’s Market often had some strange vendors. Amongst the fruit and veggie stands, it wasn’t uncommon for there to be a fortune teller or a tarot card reader. Everyone knew they were scams, of course, but they were still fun. We laughed off the old guy in a wizard costume claiming to be able to do actual magic.

We stopped laughing when he started swapping people’s bodies. I went from being a hippie stoner guy in my 20s to a woman in her 30s. We all begged him to switch us back, but I guess he was pretty hurt by how much we had laughed at him.

So we were all stuck...at least for now. I got all the details about my new body. I was thankful she was single and that she could take a few personal days off from work.

We all just hoped he’d be back to the Farmer’s Market next week and that he’d rethink his grudge against us. Until then, I walked back to her home, feeling weird about my borrowed body the entire time.

Normal

Adam understood why people wanted to get out, go to a bar, see a concert, or whatever. What weirded him out was how normal everyone was acting. It was like a massive body swapping event didn’t just affect everyone on the planet a few weeks ago -- which it most certainly did.

It’s how he ended up as a woman -- something he was desperately trying to hide by shaving his head and wearing baggy clothes. Of course those things didn’t make him any taller, nor make his voice any deeper. It also didn’t change anything under those clothes. He hoped people couldn’t tell, but he was pretty sure they could. He thought there would be more like him, fighting what his new body was like; yet it all seemed so...normal.

Hot? Younger?

Jacob looked around. It was clear he wasn’t the only one who had swapped bodies. Many had already rushed to see their new reflection in a window, but Jacob wasn’t sure he wanted to.

He had read stories online about body swapping, and people always ended up in hot, younger bodies of the opposite gender. That’s clearly not what happened to Jacob. Though he was certainly the opposite gender now, words like “hot” and “younger” didn’t seem to apply. Even without looking, he knew he was now older. He also certainly felt heavier than he had been.

He supposed this as mathematically likely as anything -- and with a possibility that it could have been worse -- but it wasn’t what those stories online had promised! That’s for sure!
