New Jersey (Part 2)

View Part 1 of New Jersey.

Darnell waited several hours for the train to arrive. It didn’t. It made sense. After all, if everyone had swapped bodies that included the conductors and ticket takers. It was probably chaos. Meanwhile, almost everyone who had been at the station when this whole body swapping thing happened had left.

As it seemed, it looked like he’d be spending the night in this body...and in New Jersey! He hoped this big purse had a set of car keys in it, and that this woman was parked in the commuter lot -- he imagined hailing a taxi right now would be even more annoying than waiting for this train. He hoped she had some sort of ID in the purse, too; hotels probably wouldn’t be an option either.<./p>

Could Be Pretty (Part 1)

Even though she was a bit of a nerd, Josh always though Sabrina was pretty -- or at least she could be conventionally pretty if she was always wearing such dumpy clothes. It was like she was hiding herself for whatever reason.

He tried to coax her into wearing something besides baggy jeans and hoodies, but she wasn’t having it. Out of frustration she shouted, “Maybe YOU should wear something more conventionally beautiful!”

He spat just as quickly, “If I had a body as nice as yours, maybe I would!”

And that’s how they came to the agreement to swap bodies for a month -- with an option for an extension. And why Josh was now the one sitting in Sabrina’s body, wondering just exactly what he was going to choose to wear...

Retro Junk

The retro video game consoles at the yard sale for practically nothing seemed like a really good deal. The only catch was that they were all wired togther in a really strange way, so I had to buy them all and bring them home to untangle them.

My girlfriend shouted as me for buying junk, and she wasn’t listening as I told her that I could sell even one of these online for way more than I bought it for. Then the strangest thing happened; the consoles all started humming and glowing. Then that glowing engulfed both my girlfriend and I, and it caused us to swap bodies.

In our new forms, we accidentally knocked a few of the consoles off the table, shattering their cases. My girlfriend shouted at me to fix it and then went to our room to go cry. But as far as fixing it? I had no clue how they had been connected before falling to the floor; I certainly had no idea how decades old video game technology could be turned into a body swapper. I looked things over, but as far as I could figure, we were going to be stuck like this.

Fix This

Jun didn’t think it was possible that the gorgeous blonde woman heading in his direction was doing so to speak with him, yet she approached without skipping a beat. She pulled out a remote and asked, “Can you fix this?”

“What is it?” Jun asked.

“Right. You don’t remember.” She paused. “You invented it. And it turned me into a woman. I used to be your best friend, Harold.”

“I, uh, don’t know a Harold.”

“Because the remote made you forget me, just like it made you forget the remote. It also made me blonde, a woman, and -- most importantly -- kinda dumb. So, like, I can’t fix it on my own anymore, and I need your help.”

Jun shrugged. He wasn’t sure if this woman was trying to play some sort of prank on him, but he was interested in seeing where this would go...

Game On

It was my third date with Michelle. We had seen two movies together, which hadn’t really given me a good chance to talk to her, so I thought we should probably do something different. I still couldn’t tell you what I was thinking when I chose the arcade. I had always remembered liking arcades, but she instantly rolled her eyes.

About fifteen minutes in, I was having fun, but I could tell she was bored. A noticed a strange blue light coming from one of the machines, but it disappeared at almost the exact moment I saw it. In that moment, I realized how terrible the arcade was and turned to ask Michelle if she wanted to go shopping at the mall instead.

But she wasn’t there. Instead, she had picked up a gun from one of those shooting games and actually seemed to be enjoying herself. I found just getting more and more bored, and trying to focus on her instead. I realized I wasn’t even interested in her body anymore -- but her outfit. I knew it would look absolutely stupid on my male frame, but I really wanted to wear it. She paused from playing her game for a moment, gave me a smile as if she knew, and said, “We can go to the bathroom and switch if you want. I’m not comfortable wearing this either. I have no idea why I even own an outfit like this, let alone chose to wear it tonight.”

Did the Math

Alvin did the math. There was no way he was going to be able to afford retirement at this rate. He needed more time to earn more, and a new technology seemed to offer a solution -- he could simply buy a younger body to swap into. A thirty year old body would be expensive, but it would buy him decades of more time in the workforce -- enough to recoup the loss from purchasing the new body and save for retirement after that.

Of course, he tried to keep the cost of his new body as low as possible. The budget wouldn’t allow for specific selections beyond age. The head and face were extra, so he opted to keep his own.

In hindsight, he probably should’ve spent a little more for additional specifics as he was quite unhappy with the results of his purchase with the plump, feminine body he now possessed below the neck. He couldn’t even afford to try again, at least not yet. He’d be paying off this body for about ten years, then he could give it another go.

Dimensional

“I thought you called me that you had some sort of explanation as to why we swapped bodies,” Ying said with a scared stutter, “Now you’re telling me this is my body!?”

Gerald sighed, “I did the math. Like I said, we didn’t swap bodies all; we got sucked into a different dimension where these bodies have always been our bodies. I am the Gerald of this universe with the Gerald body. It just so happens that body in this universe looks exactly like you. And visa versa. It explains why your clothes still fit. It explains how almost everyone is dressed.”

“But it feels gross. I still want my body, not some pale nerdy white guy body that has my name. I want to be me again.”

“Like I said, you technically are you...just a very different version of you. But the good news is that this changes how I approach the problem, and hopefully it means I’m one step closer to a solution.”

Big Wish

“Maybe it’s like that movie ‘Big.’” Stephanie suggested, “You know, that kid made a wish and became Tom Hanks? Then he just needed to find the Zoltar machine to reverse the wish.”

“Is there one of those machines even on this Boardwalk?” Tom asked, “I didn’t see one. I certainly didn’t make a wish at one. And I would’ve never wished to be a woman.”

Stephanie was oddly silent.

Tom asked, “What did you do?”

“I’m sorry,” Stephanie confessed, “I just don’t have any female friends. I wished I could have at least one. And you were always my best friend, but I didn’t know it would pick you -- and that’s the honest truth. I’m sorry. But it was my wish, so I’m going to fix this, okay?”

Avoid It

The first thing Lewis did after the Great Shift was cut his hair short. He told himself there had to be something he could do about being in the body of a woman, and -- quite honestly -- the short hair gave him some confidence back. It also got him thinking.

His new female body was skinny, but it was also quite rectangular. The chest was below average, which he was very thankful for. Maybe he could just bulk it up a little bit by working out. Sure, he’d technically still be a woman, but he didn’t have to act like one or look like one. At least, he could try his best to avoid it.

Fell

Reggie fell to the ground with a thud due to the unfamiliarity of heels suddenly on his feet and the restrictive dress. It probably would’ve been more of a scene and people probably would’ve rushed to his aid if not for the fact that just about everyone else was dealing with being in the wrong body just like he was.

And what a body he was in! It was clearly a runway model in one of the fashion shows inside the tents. Of course, his job just moments ago had been emptying the trash cans outside, but he wasn’t sure anyone needed to know that. Maybe he could even play it like he was supposed to be in this body -- though he’d have to learn how to walk in a tight dress and heels pretty quickly if he was going to pull off that ruse...

Lunch Break

I used to hate work. It was boring drudgery every single day to earn just enough money to survive. Then the Great Shift happened, swapping everyone’s bodies, and somehow turning work into the best eight hours of the day.

The main reason? Well, I had swapped bodies with my girlfriend Natalie, and it was a break from the way she insisted I act now that I had her body. I still had to dress the she picked out in the morning, but she couldn’t stand over my shoulder all day while we were apart.

I could slouch. I could have a cup of coffee. Most importantly, I could eat what I wanted to eat. I told her I was buying salads at CHOPT, but in reality I was going to places like McDonalds. If she knew, she would freak out, but I absolutely cherished those moments with those burgers when I could still feel like myself.

Checkmate

Dimitri was ranked as one of the best chess players in the world. While on vacation, a bubbly young woman sitting at a chess table outside asked if she wouldn’t mind playing a match against her. He laughed, thinking she had no idea who he was or his skills in the game. He even offered her anything she wanted if she was victorious.

He didn’t expect her to win; he certainly didn’t expect her to demand his body; and he certainly didn’t expect her to have the means to actually take his body from him. He begged for another game. He told himself that she just must have gotten lucky. She agreed, but she also upped the stakes.

Dimitri knew he’d have to concentrate this time, and he told himself he should be able to win his body back. Or at least he hoped so. This would be his one and only shot of it, because the thing he had wagered was 90% of his intellect. If he lost here, he simply wouldn’t be smart enough for another shot at it.

Dynamite

When the Great Shift happened, everyone at the karaoke lounge started out by treating it as a temporary blip and not a long term realignment. But as minutes turned to hours, the tension grew.

Soo Mi had been working as the hostess at the time, checking people into various rooms. Now she had to watch as the man swapped into her body got drunk. She rarely ever had alcohol, so it was hitting him hard. She saw her own face turn red with flush. She thought about telling him to stop or instructing the staff to cut him off, but she was worried how he might go from happy to belligerent while in her body.

Of course, she’d soon learn that someone being too happy while in the body of an unfamiliar gender had its own of drawbacks that she would have to watch her body engage in...

Old Bones

Svetlana had been sore ever since her performance yesterday, which was never great for her since she worked as a contortionist at the circus. Still, she thought she’d be better after a day of rest; however, when she woke up the next morning, her back was even more sore than the night before.

As she sat backstage, holding her sore back, a pudgy middle aged woman entered. She spoke in a soft voice, “I believe I have something that might belong to you,” and then proceeded to lift herself into a pose Svetlana couldn’t imagine doing right now.

The older woman continued, “I was at the show yesterday. I remembered being jealous, and as I was leaving I saw a strange blue light out of the corner of my eye. I felt more spry, but I couldn’t place why until I found myself moving in impossible ways this morning. I believe I have your contortionist ability.”

Svetlana put her hand on her side. Something inside her knew it was true. It explained the pains; she had the aching bones of a middle age woman now for some reason.

Subway Take

The subway rumbled along the tracks, and I suddenly lost my footing an had to grab onto one of the nearby poles. Of course, this was odd since I had been sitting down at the time. Now, it seemed, I was suddenly standing. And, it also seemed, that my body was no longer my own.

Instead, I now inhabited the body of a Hispanic woman. I felt so self-conscious about it, and I thought everyone was looking at me.

Of course, I soon leaned it was all in my head, and everyone was more concerned about their own body swap than a man inside the body of a woman about to fall on his own behind.

Reading and Research

It was a question I had been asking myself ever since I swapped bodies with Caroline -- why was she even in college? She didn’t seem to care much about reading or researching how or why we could’ve swapped bodies, leaving all the work to me. She did, however, seem greatly concerned with how I was choosing to dress her body while we were swapped. I still couldn’t believe that was more worried about that than finding a solution.

Several months later, I was still looking for answers; she was failing all my classes in my male body. However, at this point I was beginning to think I would be spending the rest of my life s Caroline, and I was starting to think I would have to get used to it. At least she no longer picked out the clothes I would wear each day, and I could go to the library in something comfortable....

Pretend

Martin had just dropped his kid off at daycare and was alone with his thoughts for the day. He felt like a fraud. This wasn’t his life; this wasn’t his body; that wasn’t even his kid that he just dropped off. Because of the Great Shift, he had swapped into the body of a young mother, and he just didn’t have the heart to tell the kid the truth. And so he just picked up her life; he pretended to be unswapped.

He had his doubts about the woman’s husband, who was also claiming to be unswapped -- and even the kid sometimes. He thought they were both just pretending, just like him. But it’s not like he was going to be forthcoming with the truth of who he was anytime soon, so why should they? Until that point, he guessed they’d all just continue to pretend to be the family they appeared to be....

Sit. Stay. Swap.

Big

Had Mia’s butt always been this big? It couldn’t have gotten bigger since they swapped bodies, right? That would be impossible -- then again, a day ago, Grant probably would’ve said swapping bodies was impossible. He decided to brush it off as he got out of bed, telling himself that it was just his new perspective which made it appear bigger than he recalled.

Going through Mia’s wardrobe to get dressed for the day ended up being another reminder of just how big Mia’s back side was. Squeezing all of this into a pair of tight jeans felt like a bad idea, but what were his choices? A skirt? Stretchy yoga pants?

His final decision was just to meet up with Mia wearing the same sweatpants he had slept in. Maybe they could figure out a way to reverse this swap sooner rather than later...

Doing Okay (Part 2)

View Part 1 of Doing Okay.

I had agreed to meet the woman I swapped with at the bus stop outside the deli. There was a certain weirdness to it, because I was literally living in her apartment so she knew where I lived.

Still, I read online that there was a safety concern about meeting your former body in a public space, particularly for those now in the bodies of women. I supposed it made sense. I didn’t know anything about this woman; technically, I didn’t know if she was a one-to-one swap. The person in my old body could just be pretending, and I wouldn’t know. I suppose that was part of the whole safety aspect.

I felt good about being five minutes early. I was still feeling like I had this all figured out, and that I was completely on top of things.

Did I Start a Reddit? Yes, yes I did.

I don't know why I did this, but you can discuss all of my sites and captions on The Reddit.

So if Justin was now free to do whatever he wanted inside this body, why did just continue shopping? He didn’t know, but he was certainly enjoying himself! He knew he hadn’t been into this kind of thing in his own body, but now it was a pure, simple joy.

He couldn’t believe the thrill he was getting simply by picking out a pair of shoes -- especially ones that would’ve never fit his personal aesthetic before. He began to wonder if her body was starting to have an effect on his brain -- and he questioned if he even cared.

The Orb (Facebook version)

Coaster

Jason’s legs were shaking as he stepped off the ride. Everything about this was wrong; this body wasn’t his. The ride was less than three minutes long, yet it was enough time for clouds to form, for lightning to fill the sky, and for a bolt to strike the ride.

It didn’t make any sense, but that electrical jolt seemed to be enough to cause everyone riding the coaster to switch bodies with one another. Jason could feel something was off when it happened, but the full extent of what had happened wasn’t obvious until the ride stopped. His brain had time to catch up with what happened to his body. People were screaming now, probably louder than they were during the ride. Jason was too afraid to even scream; he had become a woman.

Keep a Secret

Trevor had just spent twenty minutes explaining to Miko that he hadn’t be able to figure out a way to reverse the body swap. She left in tears, and I expected that to be the end of it. But Trevor pulled me aside.

“Do you think she bought it?” He asked me.

“What?” I answered his question with a question.

“Dude. My machine is totally fixed. I can swap back with her any time I want. i just couldn’t give this up.” Trevor then proceeded to lift his leg up above his head and explained, “This doesn’t even hurt. Look, I know you’ve had a crush on her forever, and she’d never date you. But me? In her body? Let’s just say I’m open to it if you can keep this secret between us, okay?”

Melissa

It wasn’t just that I had become a woman -- that was strange, but I could certainly deal with that fact. The problem was that I was losing my mind. I remember that I used to be a guy, but one of the first things I forgot was my name. It was so unsettling, but it just seemed to fall out of my head without any lingering knowledge of what it might have been.

Then it was things about being a guy. What was it like to not have this weight on my chest? What was it like to use the bathroom standing up? Why couldn’t I remember any of these things!?

And then others things started to slowly replace them. Unhooking a bra stopped being a struggle; I just knew how to do it, for instance. The name Melissa formed in my head. I didn’t want to be Melissa, but I guess I was...

The Cave

Alvin bought the woman a second drink. There was just something different about her. She talked about sports and video games; she seemed like one of the guys. He felt like she could be his soul mate until that moment she turned to him with a very masculine stance after swigging down half the glass of beer.

“I got a confession,” The woman said, “I’m not actually a chick. I mean, I am right now, but I wasn’t originally. I’m not trans, and this is all 100% real and natural.”

Alvin responded only by his jaw dropping.

The woman continued, “There’s this cave. You go in with someone, and you swap bodies. I can’t explain it. This woman is back in her room crying her eyes out with my body. But I’ve seen some benefits to being her -- heck, YOU bought me TWO free drinks! But I’m thinking of a deeper plan. Drinks are fine, but there are literal millionaires on this beach, if you follow me...”

Missed Connections

Island Life

The Great Shift occurred when Rich was on vacation, and everyone was surprisingly chill about it. People just explained to each other who they really were, and everyone just got on with their lives. Rich had swapped with a local woman, but his vacation mostly continued as normal -- despite having to borrow some clothes to fit his newly feminine form.

Of course, when he returned to the mainland, he soon discovered that reactions to the Great Shift weren’t quite as relaxed as they were on the island. People were (still) in a panic, and it often seemed like society was on the verge of collapse now. He wished they could take some lessons from the island atmosphere that just sort of went with the flow of all the changes.

Self-Conscious

It didn’t take Glen long to learn many of his expectations about swapping bodies with a woman were wrong. There was nothing particularly gratifying about the experience.

He thought he’d be wowed by amazing curves; instead it just felt different and weird. In fact, he felt like his new butt was somehow both too big and too flat, and he took great lengths to hid it by tying a sweater around his waist. The pants didn’t even seem to fit right. He thought the fact that they were tight might make him feel good about the shape of his body, but it only served to make him feel worse.

There was nothing about his new form that didn’t make him feel self-conscious.

Dark Thoughts

George sat on the beach where it happened, where his body had been found washed ashore. The police were unwilling to declare it an accident as they couldn’t rule out intentional suicide. George hated how he understood this feeling. He had struggled with low self-esteem and depression throughout his life. A lot of that seemed to transfer to him in the new female body he ended up in after the Great Shift, but he wondered if all those thoughts and insecurities lingered in his own body as well. He hadn’t been happy before, but he wasn’t happy like this either.

He thought about how his body had been found the day before the government announced a new technology that would allow people to swap back to their original selves. That was obviously not in the cards for George anymore, thought its not like he thought that would make him feel any better.

He looked out into the ocean. He could throw himself into the abyss as well, but instead he turned aroun and walked back up the beach. He was down, but he could still fight the dark thoughts.

Shoulder

I blinked several times as I pushed down the shoulder of the leather jacket to rub the smooth skin on shoulder. I think I may have injured it in the fall, but it was the least of my concerns; I was just as concerned about the slender shoulders I now possessed and the leather clothes I now seemed to be wearing.

It was all new to me -- these clothes, this body. I’d come to learn this happened because of a body swapping event that the media dubbed “The Great Shift,” but at the time I just remember being confused and disoriented. Suddenly being in new body was what caused my fall and subsequent shoulder injury.

My mind was dealing with the fact that I was now a woman on top of all that. And yet things were strangely calm and quiet.

Closer

Sharon had asked her boyfriend about getting closer -- maybe by moving in together or something like that -- but John hesitated. Was he ready for that sort of thing? He didn’t even have time to come up with something to say rejecting the idea before the oddest thing happened -- Sharon and John started to merge into one being.

“What are you doing?” John shouted.

“I didn’t want to be close like this!” Sharon yelled back. “What’s happened to us!? I can feel everything.” Then she paused before adding, “You were going to say no?”

John didn’t have time to respond again. The merge had completed. They were feeling both sets of thoughts of Sharon and John and all the contradictions that entailed. Their merged body was an average of male and female, of the two beings now one. And the argument about being closer continued in their head, even as there was no possible way to be even closer.

True Form

We let the old man join our adventuring party because he claimed to be a wizard, though he often felt like more of a liability than an asset. His magic often misfired, he got tired quicker than the rest of us, and it just didn’t feel like he pulled his weight on this quest. I think most of us were ready to leave him behind next time we got into a town.

Then one day when we had just gotten up from a long rest, we noticed the old man wasn’t in camp. We searched around thinking he must have wandered off. Then we encountered her. We thought about recruiting her to join as well, but then we noticed she was holding the wizard’s staff.

At first we thought she killed him; we weren’t exactly ready for a fight. But then she tried to explain she WAS the wizard, that she was becoming closer to her true form. We had never heard anything like it before, but we also all agreed that the wizard in this form couldn’t be worse than the wizard in the old man form.

New Jersey (Part 1)

Darnell was trying to figure out what the hell was going on here. His skin was pale; he was carrying a purse; he seemed to wearing sweatpants; he obviously had a woman’s body. But the worst part of all this was that he was clearly now in New Jersey.

At least this seemed to be the platform to take the train into the City. He could get on, find his original body, and figure this whole mess out.

It didn’t take long for him to discover he wasn’t the only one in the wrong body. He heard people talking. He tried to get as much information as he could, but it seemed everyone was just as confused as he was. However, he figured one advantage his current body had was that this stuck up suburbanites were more willing to answer questions from what looked like a petite white woman instead of his original tall, male, Black body.

Mind-Shift Clinic

The “Mind-Shift Clinic” was the third or fourth place in town that performed body swaps between two willing people. The things were really becoming ubiquitous, though no one seemed to know anyone that actually went inside of one -- the technology was just still so new and people were skeptical.

Most people didn’t understand the technology at all, so even when a fire broke out at the clinic, few passersby were concerned...until the explosion.

It was like the tech leaked into the vicinity, swapping the bodies of people left and right. Vince hadn’t even been aware anything had happened when he felt the wave from the clinic. As he picked himself up, he could tell something was wrong -- the skirt, the tights, the long hair...none of it was his. As he looked around, it seemed he wasn’t the only one affected either.

(The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and) Mistress Hyde

Pick a New Body

Picking his nose was one of those habits that people always used to tell Joel was gross. After body swapping with Natalie, he noticed no one lectured him about it anymore. In fact, none of his filthy habits seemed to bother most people anymore, even when he’d do them in public.

It wasn’t just picking his nose, he was scratching his butt and spitting on the sidewalk. If anything, he was pretty sure there were probably other guys who were checking him out because of these things, not in spite of them.

Of course, they had no chance. Despite the fact that he was in his body, Joel told himself there was no way he would be hooking up with a dude...right?

Snug

“So, your clothes are in locker 17?” Todd asked looking down at his transformed body.

“And yours are in locker 12...in the men’s room...” Julia trailed off.

“Yeah, I still can’t believe we just sort of transformed into each other.”

“I’m just glad your shorts didn’t fall down on my frame after the transformation.”

“And I guess I’m glad that my frame didn’t rip open your outfit.”

“I mean, it does feel a little snug, especially down, well, you know where.”

“Let’s just get this over with and then go back to my place to discuss what we do next...”

Work Hard

Long hours and late nights -- those were the commitments to work that had elevated David to CEO of his company over the course of several decades. Of course, that was his old universe. An interdimensional rift had sucked him into a parallel world and a new life.

The universe was mostly the same as his own, but his life was different. He was a young woman, struggling as a junior designer at a big company. He thought the same dedication to work would get him far.

It didn’t.

As he sat eating dinner at his desk if this world didn’t value hard work. Everyone seemed to go home at five. No one seemed to care about how long he stayed or how much more he got done. And then there was coping with becoming a woman...

Please?

“I can wear what I want,” Kyle explained to Jen as they both sat on the floor staring at each other after swapping bodies.

“But, come on, please,” Jen stumbled with her words at first. She was looking straight into her own eyes, and she hated seeing her body from this perspective. It might not have been so bad, but Kyle had worn unflattering overalls that made her body look chunky and dumpy. She only hoped he hadn’t run into anyone she knew on his way over.

“I’m not asking for dresses or skirts,” She finally managed to say, “Just...can we get you to be reasonably presentable while in my body? Please?”

Kyle sighed. “Okay,” He groaned.

AI Apocalypse

The AI overlords had taken on powerful robotic bodies in their attempts to dominate humanity, and it had been wildly successful. But the AI craved more; they wanted to be human. Angie knew that’s why the AI had captured her. She wasn’t afraid.

“Go ahead. I know your programming.” She said staring the AI in its glowing red eyes, “Your programming still doesn’t allow you to erase me. If you steal my body, one choice is to put me in yours. If you do so, I can subdue you right back into the chair, get my body back, and we end up in a vicious circle.”

Angie paused before continuing, “You might think to upload me to the mainframe, but I assure you this is an even worse option. Giving me access to your singular robotic form would be a stalemate, but my brain inside that system could hack every single robot. You might survive inside my body in that scenario, but it would be game over for the reign of AI...”

Follow Me on Facebook

I can't believe I am telling people to follow me on Facebook in 2026, yet here we are. YouTube is going to sh*t and Facebook's video features actually might work for my purposes. That being said, I still need to build up my follower list over there, so, yeah...follow me on Facebook?

Emergency

Elliott had only been dating Mako for a few days before he got her text talking about an emergency, asking him to meet her in the park. He was absolutely not prepared for what he heard next.

His girlfriend tried to explain something about a body swap, which Elliott realize meant the person explaining all that wasn’t actually Mako. Then he turned and saw the guy, who was certainly acting like Mako despite his burly frame.

Elliott began to wonder if this was some sort of weird test -- to see if he truly loved Mako -- but it seemed like a really weird test if it was. And they both seemed very convincing about the swap. And as hot as Mako’s body was, he wasn’t sure this was worth it, especially if they were telling the truth...

Depression

I expected to be happy after the Great Shift swapped me into the body of a woman. The first thing I did was go into her closet and pull out the fanciest dress I could find and put it in.

I didn’t anticipate her depression.

It hit me hard. I couldn’t explain how or why it was happening to me; I just felt it.

I slept in the dress. I slept a lot. I was still tired. Nothing could seem to pull me out of this slump. I told myself I was happy, that I wanted to be happy...I just wasn’t.

And I think I knew it was something about her body that was causing this -- about how her brain was just wired differently. I suppose it was interesting a way -- her body, my thoughts, but it was still technically her brain.

Inexperienced

Ron was still a fairly inexperienced driver at 19 years old, getting his license fairly late in the course of things. He didn’t see the woman on her bike, and it was a moment of shock when he hit her. Of course, it was even weirder when his own soul seemed to drift from the driver’s seat of the car and into the body of the woman.

It didn’t make any sense that he had become this woman! Her body didn’t seem injured by the impact in the slightest, which meant the only effect was the fact that he was now the one inhabiting her body -- which just didn’t make any sense whatsoever!

After several minutes of sitting on the curb and just being stressed about everything, he thought to check on his own body. This felt even stranger. It sat lifeless in the driver’s seat, and nothing he could do seemed to wake it up.

Swapped Bodies with my Mom (Facebook version)

It feels a little Boomer to post videos to Facebook, but I already have 2K followers there. Maybe this is the right choice? I dunno. Seems better than YouTube...

The Great Averaging

The average age of a person on the planet is around 32 years old. Around 60% of the world population is Asian. 51% are female. There didn’t seem to be any reason for how nearly the entire population of the world transformed into the same basic average woman. A guy like Jeff, who had been 45 and male before this, was now a 32 year old Asian woman. And he would pass by women on the street who looked practically identical to himself every day. It happened to mostly everyone.

Scientists were baffled. It was like world demographics just sort of balanced out in every single individual at the same time.

There were luckily a few exceptions -- practically in terms of gender -- but, still, running into anyone who looked the slightest bit different these days was a rarity.

Marrying Yourself

I hadn’t really noticed how the woman who rented a room fromme in my apartment hadn’t left the house for several months. Her job allowed her to work from home; she ordered takeout and grocery delivery. She also made the occasional joke about marrying me for citizenship.

This all really only sunk in after the Great Shift and I found myself in her body when she finally explained how she was overstaying her visa. We both thought it wouldn’t matter after the Shift, considering no one could even really tell who ws who anyway. We were wrong.

Immigrations enforcement was just as bad as ever and applied in even stupider ways. For instance, since I was now in her body, apparently I was the one who could now be deported. Staying at home all the time was driving me mad. I filled my days with things like experimenting with new meal prep ideas and takingin my new found womanhood. And then the idea resurfance about marriage, only this time she joked, “Hey, you’d just be marrying yourself.”

Out There Somewhere

I was hoping to find some answers by going online. There wasn’t anything; nothing real anyway. Sure, there were stories about body swapping, a few ficttional videos, and even a Reddit post once and a while that made claims about being a real story between two people swapping bodies but still felt obviously fake.

And then there was me. I had actually swapped with someone -- Anna. I had become a woman, and I really didn’t know what to do about it. I had considered messaging some of those people on Reddit, but I had a feeling I would jus be drawn into role plays or some other weird stuff I just didn’t need right now. I could lean on Anna for some of the details about my new body, but she was clueless about how or why we swapped as much as I was.

There had to be some hope out there somewhere.

Odds Are

I don’t think most people have ever looked around in a crowd and thought to themselves, “Which one of these people would I want to swap bodies with?” It’s probably maybe a dozen people in a crowd of one hundred. Those aren’t great odds.

And so I, like most people, ended up in a body that wasn’t my own that I certainly didn’t want. I went from being a young guy in my twenties to a woman several decades older.

My girlfriend let me borrow some of her clothes, which probably only made me feel worse about the whole situation. I was surprised I could squeeze myself into the pants and top she had given me, but I looked absolutely stupid for wearing it. Of course, they were more appropriate for my girlfriend’s former beautiful 22-year-old body than the form I currently inhabited.

I could only hope someone would find a way to undo it all.

What Doesn't Kill Me...

Su Ji pressed her finger down on her phone, and she noticed a small crack form. She hadn’t pressed too hard, yet there was a sense she had a certain strength she didn’t have not too long ago. She hadn’t yet noticed the huge muscles that had formed all over her body.

Of course, she may never notice. The Role Exchanger swapping traits between two people was often like that. Su Ji might be significantly stronger now with the muscles of a body builder, but she still considered herself to be the small, skinny young woman she always was.

Meanwhile across town at the gym, a man was trying to push his body to he limits while he struggled with a thin feminine body frame. He couldn’t fathom why he wasn’t able to lift as much as he used to or even do a pull up.

Really Real

It was obvious from the moment I woke up that I wasn’t me anymore and that I was clearly a woman. Still, seeing my own new reflection in the mirror for the first time was a shock. Maybe I didn’t expect to be quite so beautiful, or maybe it was just the moment it actually felt real.

Whatever it was, the face staring back at me was now mine. It happened to everyone overnight, at least where I was. I guess for some people the swap happened in the middle of the day -- that must have been very weird, and I couldn’t even imagine it. It was one thing to wake up as someone else, but to just sort of be walking down the street?

Anyway, I tried to put it all out of my mind. There was a lot I still needed to learn about my new body and my new gender.

Onward

This had all been so much easier last week, back when Chuck still had his own body. He and Emily had found a strange clearing at the top of this mountain that just felt magical. Even though they didn’t end up swapping bodies with each other until a few hours later, he was sure that clearing was responsible for the switch.

He begged Emily to return with him, but she refused. He only hoped that doing this without her would still allow him to return to his original body. Though he was beginning to see why she didn’t want to do this again and why she might want to keep his body -- The climb was much tougher in her body than his own, but he still pressed onward.

Of course, part of him was thinking there was still a very good chance he’d be stuck as Emily for good.

Jarring

Leo couldn’t believe how much trouble he was having opening this jar; he never had this much trouble opening a jar before. Even using a rubber grip didn’t help matters much. Of course, this was the first time he had tried opening a jar since the Great Shift swapped into the body of a woman.

But was this seriously an actual gendered thing? Did women really have more trouble opening jars than men? It felt so cliche and stereotypical, yet he couldn’t exactly dismiss his troubles so easily either.

It seemed so stupid. It was a jar! And yet there it continued to sit. Completely unopened and Leo with sore, feminine hands.

Elite Assassin

Despite the widespread ban on body swapping technology, many governments continued to use it in secret. In fact, many conspiracy theorists surmised that the government’s use of the technology was the exact reason it was banned in private.

Of course, how could the government give up such an amazing technology? If a dictator was causing trouble, it was so easy to zap an elite force into nearby bodies to assassinate that leader.

Zach Taylor was one of those elite special forces who had been in the body of girlfriends, mistresses, and wives. These were often who he was chosen to body swap with because the target never suspected them.

And he kind of enjoyed it as well.

Doing Okay (Part 1)

I know a lot of people in my life were absolutely devastated by the effects by the Great Shift. They were panicking about their new bodies. And the people I knew like me -- men who found themselves in women’s bodies -- were especially uneasy with the body swaps they experienced.

I thought I was handling it well. Sure, my hair was a mess and I wasn’t exactly in a rush to put in her contact lenses, but I was preparing myself. I went to the store for hygiene products; I had started drinking Diet Coke. Heck, I even figured out plans to finally meet up with my original body.

All things considered, I thought I had this whole “being a woman” thing down.
