Gossip

I guess the news had dropped on one of those gossip sites while I was in transit. It was true, of course, but any time a reporter got close enough to ask me with a microphone I denied it.

Body swap? Of course not!

Was I actually a man in the body of a famous supermodel? Do you know how stupid you sound?

How did it happen? What sort of sci-fi bullsh*t tech do you think exists where body swapping is real?

It was easy to dismiss them. Body swapping did still seem insane and impossible. Yet I was living proof it could actually be done, I just didn’t want any of THEM to know that.

Mixed (Part 1)

As I watched the blue glow fade into the distance, I knew it wasn’t coming back. I don’t know how I knew that; it was sort of similar to how I was the only one who noticed the changes it caused -- and now those changes were done. Whatever purpose it had in mixing my roommate up in the way it had, it was done with us now.

And Zuri and I were definitely mixed up. It had simply swapped our bodies at first -- and that was weird enough -- but then it started giving things back to me. My eyesight changed first when I got my original blue eyes back with their perfect 20/20 vision. Then my hair became blonde and more wispy -- it was inexplicably still able to maintain Zuri’s curls and style. Then it gave me back my pale skin while I maintained Zuri’s Black features. I saw the opposite changes on my body that Zuri now possessed -- though as I mentioned, I was the only one who noticed any of this.

I hoped it would continue changing us back, but that’s when it stopped. Obviously, I was stuck as a woman now, but I had no idea how to even begin to describe my new racial identity; maybe that was the exact thing the blue glow was trying to figure out...

Weekend Plans

It seemed kinda lame that even in the year 2000 that my girlfriend’s dorm didn’t allow guys inside, but with a little help from a strange invention borrowed from where went to college and her roommate, we developed a plan.

We’d all meet up once I got into town on Friday, then we’d use the invention to swap my body with her roommate’s -- yeah, the invention was a body swapper. Then my girlfriend and I could spend the entire weekend together, and the roommate and I could swap back on Sunday night before I left.

The weekend was amazing. Somehow being with her while in her roommate’s body was even better than my own. The only problem? The roommate never showed with my body to swap back on Sunday!
