Document It

“Could you please turn that camera off!” Anthony sighed.

“Come on, Dude, we should document this,” Lewis pleaded, “I mean, you just experienced the first cross-gender body swap in history.”

“Not by choice,” Anthony interjected.

“But people are going to want to know what it’s like. Maybe it could helpful to trans people or something.”

“But I’m not trans. Or I wasn’t. I shouldn’t be a woman right now...I just am. If people want to know what it’s like to be a woman...maybe just ask one? Please just turn it off. Okay?”

Missed Connections

New Jersey (Part 2)

View Part 1 of New Jersey.

Darnell waited several hours for the train to arrive. It didn’t. It made sense. After all, if everyone had swapped bodies that included the conductors and ticket takers. It was probably chaos. Meanwhile, almost everyone who had been at the station when this whole body swapping thing happened had left.

As it seemed, it looked like he’d be spending the night in this body...and in New Jersey! He hoped this big purse had a set of car keys in it, and that this woman was parked in the commuter lot -- he imagined hailing a taxi right now would be even more annoying than waiting for this train. He hoped she had some sort of ID in the purse, too; hotels probably wouldn’t be an option either.<./p>

Could Be Pretty (Part 1)

Even though she was a bit of a nerd, Josh always though Sabrina was pretty -- or at least she could be conventionally pretty if she was always wearing such dumpy clothes. It was like she was hiding herself for whatever reason.

He tried to coax her into wearing something besides baggy jeans and hoodies, but she wasn’t having it. Out of frustration she shouted, “Maybe YOU should wear something more conventionally beautiful!”

He spat just as quickly, “If I had a body as nice as yours, maybe I would!”

And that’s how they came to the agreement to swap bodies for a month -- with an option for an extension. And why Josh was now the one sitting in Sabrina’s body, wondering just exactly what he was going to choose to wear...

Retro Junk

The retro video game consoles at the yard sale for practically nothing seemed like a really good deal. The only catch was that they were all wired togther in a really strange way, so I had to buy them all and bring them home to untangle them.

My girlfriend shouted as me for buying junk, and she wasn’t listening as I told her that I could sell even one of these online for way more than I bought it for. Then the strangest thing happened; the consoles all started humming and glowing. Then that glowing engulfed both my girlfriend and I, and it caused us to swap bodies.

In our new forms, we accidentally knocked a few of the consoles off the table, shattering their cases. My girlfriend shouted at me to fix it and then went to our room to go cry. But as far as fixing it? I had no clue how they had been connected before falling to the floor; I certainly had no idea how decades old video game technology could be turned into a body swapper. I looked things over, but as far as I could figure, we were going to be stuck like this.
