The Usual

“You want the usual?” The man behind the counter asked.

“Uh, yeah, the usual. Sure,” Jake replied. He didn’t know what the usual was. The idea of anything being “usual” right now was laughable to him. His current situation was anything but ‘usual.’

After all, he was in someone else’s body -- a someone that was basically the polar opposite of himself. She was gorgeous, thin, and (most obviously) a she. He had been none of these things before this happened to him.

And it wasn’t some sort of transformation; people seemed to know the person he was. She was likely outgoing, popular, and unforgettable -- more things he hadn’t been back when he was a guy.

But keeping up like this? It felt unsustainable.
