Remotely

The remote had already given Todd hours of entertainment. When he first found it, he had pointed at his girlfriend, and pressed a button. In the oddest of twists, he found himself in her body, and she was in his. She started screaming. Finding a pause button, he managed to freeze her in place. For a while, he was content to keep using the thing to switch people’s bodies, causing a bit of chaos downtown. But when he returned home, things got really interesting. By pressing a few other buttons, he turned his old, small TV into a gigantic new HD model. He was able to upgrade just about everything he owned. He soon realized there was very little this remote couldn’t do. In fact, he was so distracted by the possibilities, he had completely forgotten that he was still in his girlfriend’s body and that she was still frozen in his body upstairs.

Iced

“Well,” Thought Ben, “It seems as though I will have Pamela’s body at least until the spring thaw.”

After the two had used the Medallion of Zulu to swap bodies last night, she had dropped it into a small pond. Neither expected the freak snowstorm that happened soon after. They awoke to a winter wonderland...and found a very frozen pond. Ben could see a bright shimmer of the medallion shining through the ice, but it was still pretty deep under there. He really didn’t mind. He had enjoyed being Pamela thus far, and he was sure he’d continue to enjoy her body for the next few months. Pamela, on the other hand, was a bit less happy with the predicament. Ben watched as she attempted to break the ice to get the medallion out, to no avail.

Out of There

Hunter had no clue how he ended up in someone else’s body, but he assessed the situation quickly. He appeared to be naked in a bed in a scummy hotel room. The water in the shower was running. He saw a pile of clothes and woman’s belongings on the floor. He put on the clothes as quickly as possible, grabbed the items, and rushed out the door. He decided that he could figure out whose body he was in later. His more immediate concern was getting away from that person taking a shower. They probably knew whoever he was, and he was sure if he told the truth, they’d think he was crazy. He wasn’t sure he could lie and put on some sort of act to pretend to be this stranger. And if he was naked, what if that person was this woman’s boyfriend? Or her husband? Who knows what they were about to do? Or what they may have just done? Of course, he wasn’t quite sure where he was going to go at this point; he was just glad to be out of there.

Sulk

Lucas knew he’d have to leave the house eventually, but it wasn’t something he planned on doing any time soon. He was quite unhappy when the Great Shift swapped his body with his sister. He didn’t like being a woman; he didn’t like wearing her clothes either. He went through her jeans first, but she only owned two pairs. Most everything else in her closet was shirts and dresses. But he found another pair of pants in the back. They were shiny and sort of weird, but still seemed preferable to a skirt. He felt stupid as he sulked on the couch. He just wanted someone to find a way to reverse this whole body swapping mess.

Ex

Adam had been hesitant when his ex, Heather, invited him out for lunch. He didn’t want to go, but he had done such a bad job when he broke up with her, he figured he owed it to her. The first ten minutes were awkward, as they just stared at each other without saying a word. Then Heather spoke up and started talking about her ulterior motives for inviting Adam out. The next thing Adam knew, he was looking at himself. He looked down to see Heather’s chest and low cut top. He reached a hand up and felt how smooth his cheek was. There was no mistaking what had happened, he had swapped bodies with Heather! She smiled back from his body, telling him that there was no way they would ever be apart now, no matter what he did. Adam had broken up with her because he thought she was a little crazy, but she had no idea that she was THIS crazy!
