Explorer

Chuck had been on a hike when the alien beam zapped him. Most of his body was frozen in place, but he could still move his face. It was an absolute shock to see the blue-skinned alien woman arrive, but he didn’t flinch.

“You’re a brave one, aren’t you?” She asked, “You’re out here all alone, and you aren’t even afraid of something like me. You’ll be the perfect form to explore this planet with.”

“Are you going to steal my appearance?” Chuck asked.

“Darling, I’m going to steal your entire body.”

“Am I going to a husk? Or are we swapping...”

“Oh, you’re curious too! It’s a simple swap.”

“It sounds interesting.”

“It’s also not a choice.” She said as placed fingers on his forehead. They soon felt like knives in his skull, digging out his brain bit by bit.

But then it subsided and he stood there in her body. He felt his new alien form with all his femininity and the strange tail. He spoke now with her voice as he asked, “Should I go back your ship? I mean, you’re totally welcome to explore Earth with my body for a bit, but I think it would be pretty dangerous for me to walk around like this. I think they’d dissect this body on sight for research.”

“This planet is primitive, but I can afford you safety upon my ship.”

“Cool.”
