Not the Plan

It was still pretty hard for Gregory to believe this little doodad could swap people’s bodies, despite the fact that he had not only used it several times now -- he had also figured out how to make it profitable.

He had always been a little bit of a sleaze, so his plan was generally simple while also being shady. Step one: Steal someone’s body. Step two: Charge them money to swap back to normal.

Of course, just about everyone was quick to agree to these terms. Everyone until Michelle. He’d been in her body for three days now, and he hadn’t heard anything -- not a phone call, not an email, not even a text message. No money had been wired into his account. It was almost like she didn’t want to swap back. And without access to her in his body, he wouldn’t be able to swap back; he’d be stuck as her. This wasn’t part of his plan.

Parenting

It was hard for Evan to forget the moment right before the Great Shift, telling his wife that he wasn’t ready to have kids yet and seeing the hurt in her face. The next moment he was inside of a woman’s body with two very demanding toddlers grabbing onto his legs.

A odd, natural motherly instinct came over him at that moment, and he found himself simply pretending to be the woman he appeared to be. As he learned of the Great Shift and how it had given him his present body, he also found this woman’s kids were very lucky to be unshifted. After speaking with this woman, her husband, and his wife, they all agreed it was best for the kids if Evan continued to pretend.

As the years passed and Evan sent both the kids off to elementary school, he was finally glad to get a bit of time for himself. He had been so concerned with raising the kids and being a mom, that he was only now beginning to truly appreciate the fact that he was also now a woman. Things like going to the gym during the school day felt like a vacation, a glass of wine with some other moms was like a God-sent...

Six Foot

It was a sudden change that Marcus experienced when his body just seemed to feel more noodly and gangly. It caused him to stumble, and he dropped his phone and sunglasses -- except that wasn’t his phone and he hadn’t even brought sunglasses with him that day. As he went to pick them up, he realized why -- he was no longer even in his own body!

It certainly explained the sudden feeling of change. His new body was very fall and quite slender -- not to mention a woman. He estimated his new height was close to six feet; it was quite rare to see a woman that tall, but now he’d see one every day. And she was remarkably thin. He wasn’t sure if that had something to do with how tall she was, as correlation certainly isn’t causation, but on that same note, he did wonder if he might be in the body of some type of model.

Generally

The general had never seen such chaos on base before with every solider deserting en masse and ranting about body swapping. He made calls to the Pantagon that went unanswered; the general was baffled.

After about an hour, a woman arrived. She was older and seemed to have way too much plastic surgery to cover up this fact. She began to explain that she was one of the soldiers from the base swapped into this body. The entire world was apparently like this. Everyone had swapped bodies; the general was the apparent exception and not the norm.

The general eyed the woman up and down. If all his soldiers were in this condition, the entire army was going to be in big trouble.
