Big Red Button

It was probably not all that smart for Harriet to press the big red button labeled “Body Swap,” but she was never the brightest bulb in the closet.

Once she pressed it, the helmets came down and the electrical energy began to swirl. Her eyes rolled back in her head. She didn’t even see Rich standing behind her and the same thing happening to him.

It took only seconds before they realized they were now in each other’s bodies. Harriet was absolutely horrified that she had become Rich, but Rich immediately saw an upside the whole situation.

Even Better

Tammy had found Adam to be a more than a little annoying. She had only agree to tutor him for one simple reason -- he paid her, and it was a very generous amount. She certainly never expected to swap bodies with the guy in the middle of one of their study sessions.

“Oh, Dude!” Adam exclaimed as he looked down at Tammy’s body, “This is awesome!”

Tammy had been looking in the mirror, horrified that she was now inside Adam’s body, but the statement caused her to snap her head back to look at him. “You’d better not do anything weird while in my body,” She said.

“Oh, no! Nothing like that! I’ll be respectful and, like, a perfect gentleman. I won’t even do anything when in the shower or using the bathroom or nothing! But this situation is even better than all that -- because now I don’t need to study; you can just take the tests for me!”

Despite the woman in front of him looking like Lakshmi, sounding like Lakshmi, and certainly was Lakshmi up until a few seconds ago, she still insisted otherwise. Krish decided calling the hospital was still the best course of action.

Of course, Jeff -- the person who Lakshmi’s body was now claiming to be -- didn’t think the hospital was a bad idea either, perhaps they could explain the body swap.

The hospital couldn’t find anything physically wrong with Jeff/Lakshmi. There was some concern about her mental state, but told Krish not to push it.

When they returned home, Jeff changed into Krish’s clothes, not Lakshmi’s, and she kept trying to convince Krish that she really was a guy from thousands of miles away named Jeff. He did his best not to argue, per the doctor’s advice, but it was quite difficult to hold his tongue.

As the days went on and more stores opened, I began to fill up the cabinets in her kitchen -- or, well, I guess I thought of it as my kitchen now. I started with the lower shelves, and it didn’t take long before I had to keep moving up.

But even the next shelf up to reach was difficult for my new body. I felt so short as I had to find a step stool just to reach it, and even then it was a challenge.

I tried not to dwell on it. Things were finally starting to feel normal again and realizing that I was much shorter now wasn’t on the list of things I felt like I needed to worry about. There was proving my identity, for one. Programs were being put in place that helped people reclaim everything that was theirs and returning to my own home might be nice.
