True Heist

Officer Garcia was filling out the paperwork for the man they arrested robbing a store. The scene was quite weird. The robber was the one who called it in, waited peacefully for the officers to arrive, and came along with absolutely no fuss. He clearly wanted to get caught but why?

As she described the whole incident in the report, she started feeling strange. She had no way of knowing that the robber was a body hopper taking possession of her body.

This, of course, was the robber’s true heist. The store was simply a ruse. Whereas the police evidence locker contained millions of dollars of cash and valuables that could be looted. Officer Garcia was certainly a good pick, as she had a key to the locker hanging in her office, which he spied when being brought in. He certainly didn’t expect to be swapping with a female when he came up with this plan, but he didn’t really object to it either...

Trip

I discovered my power one day while at the mall. I know malls used to be cool, but these days they are the lame last resort for when you can’t wait for two-day shipping. I just wanted to get in and out when the woman in front of me just wouldn’t move. When I tried to get around her on the left, she moved left; and when I tried on the right, she moved right. I just decided to dart quickly and ended up running into her. It wasn’t a major collision, more like a minor brush. But it was enough for me to realize a part of my body was actually going through her as if I were a ghost. Thing escalated from there.

I want to see how far I could take it. I tried to make my entire body ethereal and attempt to pass straight through her. It didn’t go so well. I made it about halfway when I got stuck inside and found myself possessing her.

The idea of becoming someone else was actually sort of cool. But if I had actually known I could do that, I probably wouldn’t have picked a 40 year old woman. I walked awkwardly in her heels, I was certainly holding her purse all wrong, and who knows if I advertantly flashed someone due to the fact that I was completely unfamiliar with wearing a dress. And I was stuck in her body for three days untill her balding fat husband came back from a business trip. Suggesting a trip to the bedroom was enough to make me want to throw up, which seemed to eject my corporeal form when I got the bathroom to gag. I got out as fast as I could, leaving the woman to explain to the husband why a young man was there running out of the house.

Final Hop

Charles had discovered he was a body hopper in college. For a few hours, he would hop into someone else’s body and experience their life. It was a lot of fun, and he was often able to do many wild or crazy things he wouldn’t otherwise do, or participate in events his own body wouldn’t be able to achieve. He often laughed about the time he swapped into the body of the school’s quarterback and got sacked multiple times.

After getting a terrible car accident at age 35, he felt like he was too young to die. He tried fighting it, but his injuries were just too much. He knew it was the end, and he was resigned to that. His body hopper instincts kicked in, however. In the moment before dying, he hopped into the body of a nurse. He turned back to look at his now former body, to see the EKG flatlining. He tried to hop back to his original body, but it was now no use. It was dead, and this nurse was who he was now.

Impressed

“I’ve got to say I’m somewhat impressed,” Greg laughed, “The fact that you even realized I’m not actually your wife is pretty impressive. But chaining me up in the basement isn’t going to do you much good. You see, Frank, I’m what is called a bodyhopper. I can jump my spirit from body to body as I please, but being stuck down here, I can’t exactly hop back into my own body. So, I guess...”

As Greg trailed off, Frank suddenly felt odd. He soon realized he was now in the body of his own wife and chained up. “What did you do?” Frank snapped as he struggled.

“We’re you not paying any attention? Since I couldn’t hop back to my own body, I escaped by hopping into yours. And your soul? Well, it wound up where I had been, in your wife’s body. I hope you enjoy it, as I can’t be bothered to sort this all out for you.”

Body hopper

Heading out to a bar to pick up a woman would be a typical nighttime activity for most men, but the way Roger would do it was a little bit different. He was a body hopper. He wasn’t concerned with “picking up” a woman, so much as just “picking” one. Sometimes it would take him all night to decide, but this time he found someone almost immediately. She wore a silver swearshirt over a nice dress. He wouldn’t even need to talk to her. He just had to look at her and concentrate. Within a few moments, his soul exited his own body and entered hers. He always smiled as he gained control of a borrowed body. Some bodies took some getting used to, others it would take a while for him to start actually enjoting, but this one was instantly appealing. He made a great pick this time.
