Marrying Yourself

I hadn’t really noticed how the woman who rented a room fromme in my apartment hadn’t left the house for several months. Her job allowed her to work from home; she ordered takeout and grocery delivery. She also made the occasional joke about marrying me for citizenship.

This all really only sunk in after the Great Shift and I found myself in her body when she finally explained how she was overstaying her visa. We both thought it wouldn’t matter after the Shift, considering no one could even really tell who ws who anyway. We were wrong.

Immigrations enforcement was just as bad as ever and applied in even stupider ways. For instance, since I was now in her body, apparently I was the one who could now be deported. Staying at home all the time was driving me mad. I filled my days with things like experimenting with new meal prep ideas and takingin my new found womanhood. And then the idea resurfance about marriage, only this time she joked, “Hey, you’d just be marrying yourself.”

Out There Somewhere

I was hoping to find some answers by going online. There wasn’t anything; nothing real anyway. Sure, there were stories about body swapping, a few ficttional videos, and even a Reddit post once and a while that made claims about being a real story between two people swapping bodies but still felt obviously fake.

And then there was me. I had actually swapped with someone -- Anna. I had become a woman, and I really didn’t know what to do about it. I had considered messaging some of those people on Reddit, but I had a feeling I would jus be drawn into role plays or some other weird stuff I just didn’t need right now. I could lean on Anna for some of the details about my new body, but she was clueless about how or why we swapped as much as I was.

There had to be some hope out there somewhere.

Odds Are

I don’t think most people have ever looked around in a crowd and thought to themselves, “Which one of these people would I want to swap bodies with?” It’s probably maybe a dozen people in a crowd of one hundred. Those aren’t great odds.

And so I, like most people, ended up in a body that wasn’t my own that I certainly didn’t want. I went from being a young guy in my twenties to a woman several decades older.

My girlfriend let me borrow some of her clothes, which probably only made me feel worse about the whole situation. I was surprised I could squeeze myself into the pants and top she had given me, but I looked absolutely stupid for wearing it. Of course, they were more appropriate for my girlfriend’s former beautiful 22-year-old body than the form I currently inhabited.

I could only hope someone would find a way to undo it all.
