One Time Use

Carlos had gone to the ATM about a week ago. He had taken out some money to spend on his vacation. Much to his surprise, he found that when he left the ATM, he was in someone else’s body! Inspecting himself, he appeared to be in a gorgeous, young woman around his own age. He shrugged. This was certainly going to be a one-of-a-kind vacation. And for the duration of the week, he enjoyed himself. Women got treated so nicely! Guys bought him drinks, doors were help open for him. But at the end of the week, he wanted to get back to his own life. He returned to the ATM, but there was a sign on the front labeled “Out of Order.” He was worried that he was going to be stuck like this for another day, but what he didn’t know was that once someone was changed by the Automated Transformation Machine, they were not able to ever use it again!

Gus sighed. The economy had hit him hard, and he was taking his last $40 out of his bank account. He had always hoped for a better life, but was never able to achieve it. When the ATM asked if he wanted “change,” he couldn’t help but say yes...and what a change he got! The previous user had been a rich blonde woman, and the ATM changed Gus into her! It would be the start of a great new life for Gus, but whoever used it next would be stuck with poor, old Gus’s body!

Joe not only had some stranger’s body, but he also had her keys, her wallet, and so on. He guessed that meant her car was in the parking lot somewhere. He pressed the alarm on the keychain, and quickly found it. He spied a woman using the ATM out of the corner of his eye. He thought about warning her and telling her about what happened to him. He knew that he would just come of sounding crazy. In a few seconds that woman would have his body anyway, and there was nothing he could really do about it, was there? As he got into the car and drove off, he saw his old body looking confused. He knew that he had just had that experience not seconds before. He felt some sympathy, but he just drove off, ready to start his new life.

Automated Transformation Machine (Part 1)

After taking out some cash from the ATM, Joe received a very strange message.

The screen read, “Would you like some change?”

Joe double-checked his cash, and made sure it was all there. He couldn’t imagine what sort of change it meant, but he selected “Yes” anyway. He soon found out EXACTLY what it meant. The machine quickly scanned his body, and then shot him with a strange beam. Joe soon found himself transformed into the last person who asked the machine for “change,” a beautiful young woman! His own body was placed in memory, ready to be given to the next ATM user who asked for change.
