Job interview

Patrick had been running late to his job interview but breathed a sigh of relief when he made it into the downtown building with five minutes to spare. Though his mind was focused on the upcoming interview, he couldn't help but spy who he shared the ride with. She had pressed for the floor of a modeling agency; he could easily guess what she did. She wore a white dress shirt with long sleeves and a low neck line. Jean shorts so short that the pockets hung out from the bottom hem, and high heels to further accent her sexy legs. He took her all in for a moment, but as the elevator dinged off floors, he became increasingly nervous about his interview. So nervous and focused that by the time he reached his spot, he hadn't noticed the Great Shift just as the door opened. He walked out into an office now in total chaos. The receptionist seemed at a loss for how to do her job or who she was. A man in a suit ran screamed passed Patrick into the elevator. Patrick's nerves calmed and he thought that maybe this wasn't the job for him. He pressed the down button on the elevator, and that's when he noticed the bright red manicured nails on his hand...

First date

Over the past 20 years since leaving home at age 18, Malcolm had grown apart from his family. When his father died, he saw his sister for the first time in many years. He told her that he had wished they had been closer. She looked at him with a knowing look when Malcolm's world started to spin around him. The next thing he knew, he was in the bathroom he and his sister shared growing up. He was shocked when he took a peak in the mirror to see his sister peaking back. But it wasn't his sister as he had just seen her, it was his sister when she was 17 years old in the late 80s! Slowly he began to remember this night--it was a week before Malcolm was set to go to college, and the night of his sister's first date!

Bottom line

Mrs. Wong had been so annoyed with her husband ever since the Great Shift had put him into the body of this young woman. He was acting like a whole new person. He was no longer as affectionate to her, his natural sense of modesty was certainly gone, and he hadn't helped in the store they owned together ONCE since the Shift. Tonight he had come into the store to "pick some things up." His wife glared at him after seeing what he was grabbing, which included cigarettes and a box of condoms. Mr. Wong told her to relax, that they were for friends he was hanging out with that night. He'd worry about the cost to his store's bottom line later.

"OUR store's bottom line," his wife reminded him.

Mr. Wong rolled his eyes. She hadn't switched bodies in the Great Shift. How thought that she couldn't possibily understand what he was going through. This was a second chance at life for him, and this time he wanted to have a little fun. What was so hard for her to understand about that?

Idols (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.


After using an ancient idol inside the museum to steal the bodies of two women, Steve and John heard the morning guards arriving. With no time left, they slipped out the back entrance leaving their old bodies inside lifeless and soulless while the women's bodies were trapped in another idol at the museum. They walked the streets outside of the museum, which was in the Chinatown neighborhood of the city. The two caught their breath in an alley not far away. John pulled out a cigarette and a cell phone from the woman's pocket. However, while the symbols on the keys seemed familiar he was having a hard time when he thought about dialing. As he spoke to express these concerns, strange words came out. It seems he could only speak in a language that had been dead for thousands of years. He looked around and was releaved to be able to read any english signs, but he couldn't say the words for some reason. It got worse when Steve tried to question, but spoke in the same unknown language. The two men were able to understand the world around them just fine but were simply now unable to communicate in english! Something had gone very wrong when the idol put their souls in these women's bodies!

Pink painted toenails

Within moments of the Great Shift occurring, Charles realized he was in a very different place. He looked down to see pink painted toenails poking out of high heeled sandals. As he tried moving, he felt somewhat restricted by the skin tight leather pants now on his legs, but the real problem was the shoes. He was simply teetering, completely unable to walk on such heels.
