Reincarnation

Joe knew his wife had really gotten into yoga over the past few months, but when he got home from work and found her donning white robes on the back porch, it seemed like she was taking it to the next level.

“Give it a rest, Shiela,” Joe groaned.

“I’m afraid Sheila is no longer with us,” Sheila’s body told Joe.

“What the heck are you talking about?”

“My name is Ranesh. I was Sheila’s yogi. At 80 years old, my life was near its end. I needed a new body to continue my work, and Sheila so generously offered hers.”

“Wait...what? Don’t you believe in reincarnation or something like that?”

“And just how do you think that process works?”

New Possessions

Sam wasn’t exactly sure how he ended up without a body of his own. Had he been killed somehow or did he just sort of turn into a magical spirit? Regardless, being such a spirit hasn’t actually been so bad, especially when he realized he could possess anyone. He started by possessing people fairly similar to himself, but two weeks ago, he possessed Lexi. It was the first time he had possessed a woman, and he hated to admit how much he enjoyed it. Two weeks was much longer than the usual two or three days he stayed in someone’s body. Still, it was time to move on. He slumped down and let his spirit pour out of Lexi’s mouth. He hated giving up her body, but he vowed the next body he possessed would also be a woman, and he was sure he could find one that was just as good, if not better, than Lexi’s.
