As a courier, Curtis was used to walking long distances, but he wasn’t use to doing so in heels and with a body that was several decades older than his own and not nearly as in good shape -- and not to mention female!
He had been bringing a package to a lawyer’s office in midtown when the Great Shift happened, leaving him stuck in the body of one of the attorney’s, an Asian woman in her 50s who lived in the suburbs. After a few moments of pure confusion, news reports came in online about the body swapping event. People were advised to head home if possible or stay put if not.
The subways were down, so any transit would have to be on foot. The walk back to the Bronx was a long one for Curtis, but he told himself he was used to it. Unfortunately, his present body wasn’t. Yet he still pushed on -- even with pinched feet and pure exhaustion. And as much as he hurt right now, he told himself being back in his apartment would make him feel so much better.
