John checked the database in the company file again just so he could remember his name. The swap had happened a few days ago, an error in a test of a new device had caused everyone at the company to swap bodies. John found himself in Ellen’s body -- which had been wildly awkward and uncomfortable for him at the time.
The days passed and people awaited news about switching back to their own bodies. It never came. As it turned out the researchers discovered that by just staying in someone else’s body long enough, you’d basically adjust -- mannerisms, interests, pesonality, and even memories would return -- and it would be just like you never swapped in the first place.
Something about his personality being consumed by Ellen’s didn’t sit right with John. As he became more comfortable with things like being a woman and the shape of his body, he tried his best to hold onto himself. He knew he was losing, however. The database of who swapped with who was one of his last reminders to tell himself he was really John. If the company ever deleted it? Well, he’d be in trouble. He’d be 100% Ellen for sure, so he made a backup copy. He only hoped he’d remember the copy existed...
