Candidacy

Senator Craig Boone had been making appearances on all the Sunday talk shows against the proposed minimum wage hike. The conservative senator claimed that it just wasn’t hard to live on that money and that this was just an example of lazy people taking more and more. After one show, one of his female constituents challenged him to try and survive on that low amount for a week. Filled with hubris, Boone laughed that it wouldn’tt be hard at all and agreed. But there was an added twist. Far too many people would recognize the senator, so the woman told him he’d have to switch bodies with an actual worker. Boone started to get a little nervous, but before he knew it, he was in the body of Lulu Chang, a waitress from Louisville. By mid-week, he was tired of the job, tired of the customers, and truly having trouble surviving. As she waited tables, she noticed a familiar face on the television. Lulu was in his body giving a speech, announcing a candidacy for President! Boone was shocked. He hadn’t expected anything like this. Lulu apparently had some big ambitions, and he suddenly doubted that he would be getting his body back at the end of the week.
