Curse (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

It was sort of weird, but Sam actually enjoyed being a woman. He started to go by Samantha, and he could only describe the days he spent as a woman as pleasant. He enjoyed wearing women’s clothes, putting on makeup. Heck, he even started dating and found a boyfriend. It was the nights when the hunger came over him that was the problem; the times when he would transform others. It was during those times that he no longer considered himself a woman; in those times, he was a monster. Part of him hoped he could find a way to break this curse, and the other part of him hoped that if he did, he’d still remain a woman.

Curse

Sam always regretted that night. He and his girlfriend had a huge fight, and he went to a bar. That’s where he met Maria. It only took about 15 minutes of flirting before he convinced her to take him back to her place. Sam thought it was the best revenge possible; that is until Maria bit him. Within a few minutes, Sam started to change. His dark hair grew beyond his shoulders, his features became softer, his body began to curve; he was becoming a woman. Maria began to apologize. She couldn’t help herself. She explained that she had once been a man named Mark, and a long time ago he had been seduced by a woman. During their love making, she bit him; thus changing him into Maria. It was a curse -- a bit like being a vampire. Sam would become a woman now, just like Maria, he’d crave making love to men, and he’d have desires to turn them, just like Maria had turned him. Sam couldn’t deny that he was now a woman, but he thought he could fight the desire to curse others. He only lasted a single night. He found himself at the same bar just two nights later, picking up a guy, biting him, and then having to explain the situation to the new woman, just as Maria had done for him. As the blood dribbled down his lips, he was far less apologetic than Maria had been. He just kept thinking about his girlfriend, and wondering if this all could have been avoided if he had not gotten into that fight in the first place, or not tried to get revenge by sleeping with someone else.

Catching a Flight

Jack was quite late, and he was running to catch his plane. But he suddenly felt disoriented and nearly tripped over his own feet. He looked up to see the gate numbers were all wrong; had he run the wrong way? No, he was sure they were right just a moment ago. Then he looked down. He lifted a leg and discovered they were now very different. They were quite slender and feminine. In fact, it seemed impossible, but his whole body was wrong; it was clearly a woman’s body instead of his own. Then he looked around again to see people studying their own bodies in a similar manner. Now he doubted if his flight was going to take off at all, but if this body swapping madness was widespread, it was better for him that he was still on the ground when it happened instead of in the air.

Delivery

Before accepting the job, Ralph had been told all about the island where he was delivering supplies. He had a hard time believing that tourists would swap bodies with each other for the duration of their travels. It just seemed impossible. Regardless, he didn’t care. The job paid well and his plane was already loaded up. He touched down and before he even had a chance to unload, he suddenly found himself on the beach in someone else’s body. He thought the swapping was limited to tourist; he hadn’t expected to swap bodies with anyone himself. Yet here he was, on the beach in the body of some woman. He realized unloading was going to take quite a bit longer with this body; it just wasn’t as strong as his. And he had to make it back to the landing spot as well. Sure this job paid well, but he was beginning to wonder if it was worth it. Then he looked down at his body and thought that maybe it was he who should be paying a fee to Exchange Island for allowing him to use this wonderful body for a bit.

Bikini Body

Jack had considered the results of the The Great Shift pretty lucky for him. Of all the people he could’ve ended up as, he found himself in the body of a hot, young celebrity. What he hadn’t counted on was how much work it took to keep that body beautiful. He could tell he was gaining weight by the fact that he no longer fit into many of the designer clothes that he had inherited with this body. Still, he didn’t think it was an unreasonable amount of weight, and he didn’t mind buying new stuff off the rack at department stores. When bikini season rolled around, he didn’t think anything of showing off his body -- not even really thinking much about the weight gain. However, the tabloids had a field day. He was featured along with many other people also in the bodies of former celebrities. There was a lot of body shaming, and many of the stars commented about how they felt their bodies were being treated poorly. Jack was pretty shocked by the report.
