The Purse (Part 1)

While the others around him were grabbing their bodies, screaming, or getting into fights, Peter was taking a much more practical approach to the fact that he was in someone else’s body. He could obviously tell he was a woman without making a public spectacle of himself, and knowing his gender told him very little about who he was.

So he took the purse he was holding and emptied it on the table in front of him. He was sure he could find something in here that would give him a better idea. However, he had to be honest that it was a bit of a mess, filled with a lot of loose change, multiple chargers for her phone, and various makeup products. He had to unzip several items before discovering which one was the wallet. Unfortunately, there was cash in the wallet, but not much else. He needed to keep digging. The contents of this purse seemed endless.

True Heist

Officer Garcia was filling out the paperwork for the man they arrested robbing a store. The scene was quite weird. The robber was the one who called it in, waited peacefully for the officers to arrive, and came along with absolutely no fuss. He clearly wanted to get caught but why?

As she described the whole incident in the report, she started feeling strange. She had no way of knowing that the robber was a body hopper taking possession of her body.

This, of course, was the robber’s true heist. The store was simply a ruse. Whereas the police evidence locker contained millions of dollars of cash and valuables that could be looted. Officer Garcia was certainly a good pick, as she had a key to the locker hanging in her office, which he spied when being brought in. He certainly didn’t expect to be swapping with a female when he came up with this plan, but he didn’t really object to it either...

Should've Picked Ken

I couldn’t believe my roommate Ken found the old gaming system in the trash. I don’t think either of us played since we were kids. I don’t know how Ken got the thing hooked up to our TV, but once he did, the entire room felt like it was in a grainy haze. He selected his character, Chun Li -- I joked that he should pick Ken, but he brushed it off. I picked Blanka and then went to go get a beer from the kitchen as it loaded.

I was shocked when I returned to see Ken sitting on the floor looking exactly like Chun Li.

“Think you can keep up with me?” Ken asked as he offered me the other remote.

I took a step back, making sure the wire wouldn’t reach me. That thing had turned him into Chun Li, I sure wasn’t going to let it turn me into Blanka!

“Come on!” Ken asked again, “Want to see my kung-fu? I’ll show you!”

My only thought was to unplug the whole thing. Once I did, the grainy haze faded. However, Ken was still sitting there in Chun Li’s body. But as he mind escaped from the haze as well, he immediately started freaking out about that.

It's My First Day

It was Joshua’s first day in the office. He was filling out the required tax forms and was told to make a copy of his ID. He placed his driver’s license down on the glass of the photocopier and pressed the start button. The paper it spat out had an image of a woman on it. He picked it up to look at it, noticing the long nails of his hand. Glancing at his reflection in the nearby glass, he could see his body had changed -- becoming the woman printed on the paper.

Convinced he was having some of nervous panic attack on his first day, he pressed the start button a few more times. Each time he did so, a different woman’s image was printed on each page, and each time his own body transformed to match.

“You need to stop using the office copier for your personal use, Shawntel,” He heard a man’s voice say to him, “I won’t tell on you, but you gotta grab your copies and go back to your desk.”

Joshua nervously picked up the pages that he had copies. He wanted to ask “Who’s Shawntel?” But it was obvious he was. He looked through the pages as well. Instead of being all different women, they now all matched the face he currently had.

The man who had scolded him about the use of the copier picked up the ID off the glass and gave it to Joshua as well. Sure enough, it was actually an ID for Shawntel. Joshua wanted to warn the man about the machine, but he was in such shock, he didn’t have time. But when the man pressed start and tried to copy, nothing happened. “I think you may have jammed it,” The man told Joshua, “We’ll have to call IT...”

Made Up

Leo knew that when he swapped bodies with his wife, Mei, it wouldn’t be easy. She was an executive at a high end fashion company, and he knew it was a stressful gig. To top it all off, it was the middle of Fashion Week, which meant a lot of late nights. The one thing he had hoped was that he’d be able to skip out on doing makeup.

However, people kept commenting on his lack of makeup, and he felt like it was something he needed if he hoped to keep this body swap a secret. It was a bad idea.

Leo was absolutely terrible at putting on makeup. He looked like a clown. He hid his face until he came across a makeup artist and begged for help. He confessed the whole body swap and his attempt to hide it. He asked that she not tell anyone, and the makeup artist agreed as she quickly went to work to help Leo out...
