Adam checked his device. His previous body should be just over the next hill. It was worth checking out, but it wouldn’t be the first time he lost a body.
The creates had come to Earth about a decade ago. They were rather feral and ravenous -- and also had the ability to swap bodies with animals, including humans. Scientists suspected once swapping with a person, they rarely went back to other animal forms. It meant anyone you met could be quite dangerous -- and steal your body.
Swapping back was possible, and methods to trap or trick the beasts to do so were quite common, but so was simply losing your former body. It had happened to Adam a few times now, and only once was he able to get his former body back. It was always a pain to explain to everyone who you know were once swapped, and also clarify that you were not a creature -- so Adam hoped he could recover his prior form. Plus, it was the attacking creature had been in a female body, putting him inside a woman’s body for the first time.
