The Magic...Airbnb?

I had arrived late the night before at my Airbnb. I was exhausted after a long day of travel. I didn’t change my clothes; I didn’t brush my teeth; I just crashed on the couch.

The next morning I was a little surprised to find myself asleep in the bedroom; I was more surprised to find that I had woken up in someone else’s body!

I ran down the stairs to go get my phone, which I had left charging by the couch. My body felt weird as I moved. I was coming to realize my new body was female and the difference in clothing alone were more than enough to make me very aware of that.

Should I call the police? What would they do? Eventually, I just decided to call the number in the listing. Though again, what could they do? Surprisingly, they were very informative. They explained the house was listed as cursed. Simply put, each visitor falling asleep in the house would wake up the next morning in the body of a previous guest. I was now apparently now in the body of Pinya, a 37 year old Taiwanese female tourist who had stayed here two weeks ago. I tried to threaten a bad review, but they said if I did that, I’d be banned from their properties. This explained their perfect rating. If I booked again, there was an outside chance I could get back in my original body.
