The Body Swap App (Episode 2)

View Episode 1 of The Body Swap App.

Market Forces

It wasn’t my fault that everyone in the office swapped bodies. I was sure of this. My code was solid and free of bugs. Yet the timing of this was undeniable. It had all happened when I turned on my experimental device. And now I sat here in Maris’s body as I awaited a meeting with my boss.

It was hard to focus on what I was going to say; I was much too focused on the fact that I was presently a woman. Maris had manicured nails and always wore skirts in the office, which meant I currently had manicured nails and a skirt. I could at least prepare myself to be yelled at, or probably fired.

Yet when he called me in, the conversation was more...curious. My boss asked me how I did it, and if I could do it again. I wasn’t sure on either, or I wanted to insist I wasn’t even yet convinced it was my fault at all. Apparently, the powers that be convinced there was a way to market body swapping.

Quota

After being zapped by a strange ray gun in the park that transformed him into a woman, Walt was desperate for answers. After digging, he found the organization responsible and a clause that would allow him to return to normal. He just had to pick up a ray gun of his own and transform the genders of twenty people.

It seemed easy enough. He made a vacation of it, going to a cheap motel is a city a few states away -- he didn’t want to transform anyone he knew accidentally.

After a day, he had already transformed a dozen people. One more day, and he’d be done, but he was starting to have second thoughts. Being a woman was actually sort of fun, and if he stopped transforming people, he’d be able to be like this forever. Then again, transforming others was it’s own kind of fun, could he just give that up?

Miss

Melissa walked up to her former body and looked down as it sat at the bench where they had agreed to meet. She was going to miss being this tall for sure.

“Are you ready to swap back Professor Lee?” Brent asked from inside her body.

“No,” She replied bluntly, “I’m going to miss a lot about being you.”

“It’s not fair that I already missed out on an entire semester of college while those eggheads worked on a way to swap us back to normal.”

“I know. It’s not fair. I’m just going to miss a lot about being you. I liked being young again for a while, even if I had to do it in a guy’s body.”

“I won’t miss being a woman. Menopause sucks.”

“Yeah, I’m sorry about that.”

Mall Madness (Part 1)

It was unexpected and sudden for Justin, to suddenly swap into another person’s body, but once he got over the initial shock, there was a certain joy of seeing his new face on his phone screen. Everything about this body was basically the exact opposite of his own; it was attractive, female, and -- for some reason -- at a mall. He hadn’t been to a mall in so long.

She seemed to have so many bags, too! They were filled with all sorts of things that he felt like he would be embarrassed to wear, yet when he looked down at how he was currently dressed, perhaps he shouldn’t be surprised.

But it wasn’t long before the phone screen he was looking at started to ring. It was the original owner of this body, and she was rightfully confused and furious. She told Justin not to move; she’d be there shortly.
