Library

It had been five years since John graduated college and even longer since he had visited the town where he grew up. He only returned at the urging of his parents. With little to do, he eventually paid a visit to the local library. The librarian appeared to be a woman he had gone to high school with al those years ago. She asked about his life in the city, his job, and his success -- all of which John was happy to brag about. But then the librarian read from an old looking book, and suddenly John was looking across the table at himself.

“What the hell did you do?” He shouted as he stood up before leaning down, “Why did you do this?”

“You’re life just seemed so interesting. I found a spell in one of these books a long time ago to swap bodies. You seemed as likely a candidate as any.”

“But I don’t want to be you! I don’t want to be a boring librarian living in this boring town with a boring life! You can’t do this to me!”
