Struck (Part 2)

View Part 1 of Struck.

Paul brought George (who he thought was Jenny) back to his place, and it wasn’t long before Paul noticed some strange behavior. George was being rather sexually aggressive. At first, Paul thought it was just Jenny adjusting to having male hormones. He deflected plenty of advances, but George really wasn’t stopping. And in a moment, it all just sort of clicked for Paul. Whoever was in his body now, it wasn’t Jenny.

With terrified tears now streaming down his face, Paul grabbed his bag and returned outside to the pouring rain. And he knew he was going straight to Jenny’s apartment. It was a thirty minute walk, but it was better than being stuck with whoever the monster was now inside his body.

And maybe Jenny would think to go there, too! Maybe it could all still work out!

Tony dropped the bottles off at the frat party the next morning. He had a whole excuse planned about how he was his own sister, but no one even seemed to ask or care about where the original Tony was, nor even asked his name. A few of his frat brother did take a moment to hit on him. Tony shrugged it off with his attention focused on tonight.

Time passed slowly that day as he waited for the party. And despite the anticipation, he still ended up arriving about an hour after the start time. It was pretty obvious that they had already started using the bottles he had brought. He approached a group of three women, which he recognized as now opposite gender versions of three of his frat brothers.

“Hey!” One named Rhys slurred, “It’s Tony’s sister! What’s yer name?”

“Tonya,” Tony said, proudly able to use the name he had come up with earlier.

“Well, when you see your brother, you need to thank him! We mixed a few of those liquors he had you bring...they are amazing! They’re so smooth going down, and yet I feel, like, really good in a way I can’t place. And the babes aren’t put off by me when I talk to them! These drinks are like magic, man!”

Tonya smiled. Did Rhys even realize he now had a woman’s body? Did he know the two women he was speaking with were actually James and Byron? How much more would they drink? How much more would they change? And what about the rest of the party? The night was young and so was the chaos!

429-B

Today we are reviewing footage from Test Subject 429-B. Given the results of earlier test 414-A, this time we ensured all sharp objects in the room have been removed. As you can observe, the initial reactions of the test subject upon waking up the chair in a body different from their own is a state of panic. This has been nearly universal in all of our cross-gender body swap experiments with only about 2% not displaying such a reaction. The remaining 2% display an instant outward sense of curiosity.

Now, the reason we are observing this subject today is the period after the panic. Once he realizes he is a woman, he proceeds to get quite angry. When he discovers his new body is not as strong as his previous one, this only makes him angrier.

...And yet, it doesn’t last. Despite the period of anger, he too eventually falls into a previous of curiosity where the new body is sufficiently explored and ultimately enjoyed.

Everyone

“Hello!?” Max shouted into the security camera at the discount store, “Does anyone actually work here? Can anyone explain what’s going on? I just walked in here, and I swapped bodies with this woman! I tried to ask the people working on the floor or at the registers, but they said they weren’t swapped too and weren’t actually workers. Does anyone know what’s going on? Unless...there’s no one there, is there? You’ve all been swapped too, and no one cares? Right? Has everyone in the entire world swapped bodies? What the hell is going on here?”

Siblings

When their father passed, the funeral was the first time Jeff and Angie had seen each other in years. The siblings had grown distant and didn’t have much to talk about anymore. They did both agree to help their mom throw out some of their father’s junk a few days later.

When Angie arrived, Jeff was already tossing stuff from the basement. It was where their father made all sorts of strange inventions -- most of which never worked. Despite a quick hello, Angie decided to work on the other side of the basement away from Jeff. The first thing she tried to lift was simply too heavy.

“Could you help me with this?” She asked.

Jeff shrugged and came over to help her. But the moment they both touched the device, it began to turn on. The device shot electrical bolts that hit both of them, knocking them to the ground.

Jeff awoke first and realized something was wrong. He and Angie had swapped bodies! He woke her up, explained what had happened, and told her they needed to try using the device again. He held onto the side Angie had tried to lift while she gripped the other side. It began to turn on again and even shoot some bolts out, but they remained in each other’s bodies.

“We need to figure this out!” Angie exclaimed with a look of pure fear, “I do NOT want to be stuck in your body!”

“Same!” Jeff echoed.
