Dumbest

Verona was probably the dumbest woman Professor Barnes had ever had in his class. He knew he’d let her squeak by with a D even if she didn’t deserve it since because her father was one of the university’s biggest donors. It was easy to forget she was in the class at all, considering how often she skipped.

She was there for the final, and he could see her struggling as he clock ticked down. She was working until the final second, and in that final second, the truly unpredictable happened -- though it would be a global phenomenon that no one would soon forget -- The Great Shift.

Professor Barnes now found himself swapped into Verona’s body. It seemed so strange to be young again and even stranger to be female now. But he also knew this was going to be a real challenge. Verona’s father would likely be quite unpleased that someone else was now in his daughter’s body, but all his power and money didn’t immediately solve the problem nor reverse the body swap. But he was sure it could be enough to make his life in this body miserable if he didn’t tread carefully.

Document It

“Could you please turn that camera off!” Anthony sighed.

“Come on, Dude, we should document this,” Lewis pleaded, “I mean, you just experienced the first cross-gender body swap in history.”

“Not by choice,” Anthony interjected.

“But people are going to want to know what it’s like. Maybe it could helpful to trans people or something.”

“But I’m not trans. Or I wasn’t. I shouldn’t be a woman right now...I just am. If people want to know what it’s like to be a woman...maybe just ask one? Please just turn it off. Okay?”

New Jersey (Part 2)

View Part 1 of New Jersey.

Darnell waited several hours for the train to arrive. It didn’t. It made sense. After all, if everyone had swapped bodies that included the conductors and ticket takers. It was probably chaos. Meanwhile, almost everyone who had been at the station when this whole body swapping thing happened had left.

As it seemed, it looked like he’d be spending the night in this body...and in New Jersey! He hoped this big purse had a set of car keys in it, and that this woman was parked in the commuter lot -- he imagined hailing a taxi right now would be even more annoying than waiting for this train. He hoped she had some sort of ID in the purse, too; hotels probably wouldn’t be an option either.<./p>

Could Be Pretty (Part 1)

Even though she was a bit of a nerd, Josh always though Sabrina was pretty -- or at least she could be conventionally pretty if she was always wearing such dumpy clothes. It was like she was hiding herself for whatever reason.

He tried to coax her into wearing something besides baggy jeans and hoodies, but she wasn’t having it. Out of frustration she shouted, “Maybe YOU should wear something more conventionally beautiful!”

He spat just as quickly, “If I had a body as nice as yours, maybe I would!”

And that’s how they came to the agreement to swap bodies for a month -- with an option for an extension. And why Josh was now the one sitting in Sabrina’s body, wondering just exactly what he was going to choose to wear...
