Lifetime Pass

Each of the four men had been tricked into purchasing a lifetime pass to Bikini Beach, but not a single one of them minded the fact that they were now permanently women. In fact, they were all enjoying themselves so much that they were actually happier this way! They weren’t the only ones in this situation either. The entire beach that day was filled with women who used to be men, all tricked into buying a lifetime pass...

Gun

Officer Roy Newton had reported to the scene to find a man with a strange gun in his hand. He drew his own, but not before he was opened fire upon. But this was no ordinary gun that the criminal had. Roy was slowly transformed, his body, his clothes, his gun, everything about him changed. Instead of being a man, he was now a woman. His gun turned into a mere toy. His once professional uniform was turned into a silky outfit. Even Roy’s personality was changed. He felt scared instead of brave. The only thing the gun couldn’t change was who Roy really was, his essence and his memories. He knew he wasn’t really a woman, this just wasn’t right. And he knew this criminal and his gun must be the key to getting back to being himself. But would he have the confidence to bring this guy down?

Natural Talent

All his life, Harvey had dreamed of becoming a dancer, but he had always been discouraged. His parents had told him it was too feminine and discouraged his interest in the art. For Harvey, the Great Shift turned out to be a wonderful twist in his fate. He now possessed a female body, which means he could pursue his interest in dance without the negative pressure from his friends and family. Sure enough, his natural love turned into a natural talent.

Al was breathing heavily by the time he made it back to his room. He turned around to look at the door, still in disbelief at what he almost did. He could feel that he must have overdone it with the drinks, but even at his drunkest, he never acted like that. Why had he acted like that? Was it because of this body? Were all women like this to some degree? No, it couldn’t be. But was there something about him? Something deep down inside? That didn’t seem right either. Maybe he just needed a good night sleep. Tomorrow at Exchange Island would be better. Well, he was convinced there was no way it could be worse than today, right?

Match (Part 2)

Despite his swap, Eric decided to continue his training. After all, the woman whose body he swapped into was in great shape and apparently into boxing. He might not be able to compete on the men’s circuit, but he probably still had the chance to go pro on the women’s circuit -- there was a lower barrier to entry there, there were better odds, and the paydays came quicker. The only problem was there was certainly a glass ceiling on the pay cap. He could never make millions on the women’s circuit, but he could still have a fairly decent life.

Coming Up for Air (Part 2)

Chris returned to the undersea depths the next day with much better equipment and with a bit of morale boost. After his diving the day before, he returned to the hotel room to find a romantic dinner set up on the balcony. His wife was finally apologizing for tossing out the medallion into the ocean. Chris blushed when he saw it, but told her it wasn’t necessary. She didn’t need to apologize; he had already forgiven her. He still wasn’t quite used to kissing and hugging his own body (even if it was his wife controlling that body), but he now got a feeling of safety and security from it that hadn’t experienced in the past few days. While he was still going to desperately search for the medallion for the next couple of days, he knew that if he had to be stuck in someone else’s body, he was glad it was the one that belonged to the woman he loved more than anything.

Only a few moments after Dave started erasing the formula, Andrea entered. He jaw dropped and she screamed, “What are you doing?”

She quickly explained that the missing parts had just sort of popped into her head last night, quite unexpectedly. But with all the parts that Dave had just erased, she had no idea where they went...or what the new erased parts could be. She could’ve gotten them back to their own bodies. Dave thought he would be distressed, but he just shrugged. He had already convinced himself he would be stuck. This just didn’t seem like a big deal anymore.

Irving had rallied the room, and it wasn’t long before everyone rushed out to try and live better lives, but Irving stayed behind in the locker room for a few minutes. He needed to decide what he was going to do with his own life now that he had Ashley’s body. The possibilities seemed limitless. For instance, he felt like no one ever listened to him before, but now? He had just given a short speech that called an entire room to action. They listened to him because of this body. He was sure he could get just about anyone to do anything he wanted with it!

Start the Music (Part 2)

And that’s when the music started...Steve felt suddenly compelled to dance. He didn’t know any of the moves, but it didn’t seem to matter, he was pulling the routine off flawlessly somehow. At least that’s how it appeared. He looked around to see other women on the stage as well, and he seemed to be mimicking them perfectly. Some of the moves he was quite impressed by. He couldn’t imagine how he was able to do any of this! Of course, he still couldn’t figure out how he switched bodies and wound up here in the first place either!

Key Ingredient

When his sister first started getting involved in witchcraft and magic, Todd didn’t say anything, but he also never expected her to cast a spell that would cause the two to switch bodies! It sucked worse for Todd when his sister told him that she was out of a key ingredient for the spell. It wasn’t something he could just go down to the store and buy either! Before he knew it, he was in the middle of nowhere paddling on a raft in attempt to get more of this stuff. He couldn’t help but wonder how his sister had gotten her hands on such an ingredient in the first place!

True Form

Victor never even saw the car that hit him. He was just crossing the street, and the next thing he saw was a white flash. He awoke to find himself looking down at a female body in a white dress. A voice that seemed to come from nowhere explained that he was dead. The body he now had in the afterlife was his true form. Victor was a little more than surprised. He couldn’t even fathom how his true form was female. It almost made being dead seem like a secondary concern.

Flight

With airline security getting tighter and tighter, hijackers needed more and more innovative techniques in order to take control of planes. Terry was a lone wolf type, who got really creative by possessing the body of a flight attendant. But as he walked around in her body before the flight, much of the anger he had previously felt seemed to fade away. He no longer felt like hijacking the plane, instead he wanted to hijack this woman’s life and take it as his own!

Coming Up with a Plan

Tomorrow would be Jacob’s last full day on Exchange Island. That meant he needed a plan to keep the gorgeous body he had been able to borrow for the past two weeks. He found a spot away from the beach and the crowds to think. What sort of plan could he come up with? Could he hack the resort’s computers to extend his stay? Maybe there was a database of who was who that he could set to stay like this even once he left? What if he just refused to leave; if he hid somewhere when it was time to go? He at least needed to give something a try! He couldn’t give this up so easily!

Stream

Michael had spent three years of searching for this stream. The water in it was magical. All that time ago, a single vial he and Kristen had drunk had caused the two to switch bodies. Now he was sure another vial would switch them back. At first, he and Kristen had searched together, but she had finally given up several months ago. He couldn’t wait to get some place with cell phone service so that he could call her.

What he didn’t count on was that when she had given up, Kristen had come to accept being in Michael’s body. It had been a huge task to adapt to living as him, and she convinced herself that, at this point, switching bodies again -- even to one that was once hers -- would be another huge adaptation, one that she was not ready to go through again.

On Vacation

Rick had been walking through the marketplace during his vacation in southeast Asia. He encountered an old man with a beard selling all sorts of trinkets for a dollar. The man promised that any of them would create an experience for Rick that he would never forget. A little fascinated, Rick bought one of the items to his hotel room. After dinner, he stared at it for a good ten minutes until it began to glow. Rick’s world spun around him for a moment before quickly stabilizing; however, once it did so, things felt off. Sure enough, when he looked down, he discovered he no longer had his own body, but the body of a woman instead! He tried staring at the item again, but nothing he did seemed to change him back. The first thing next morning, he headed back to the market. However, there didn’t seem to be any sign of the old man or his shop. It seemed the old guy just disappeared, leaving Rick stuck like this!

11:30 AM

The good news was that Ray had no problem figuring out how to do Lisa’s job; however, it was so easy that he was actually a little bored. He spent a lot of the day just looking forward to being able to leave, get home, and figure out a way to reverse the magic that had caused him and Lisa to swap bodies in the first place. When he wasn’t just daydreaming, he was surfing the web, looking at pictures of hot models, probably not an uncommon time waster for women or men at work. The odd thing he realized when looking at the models was that he wasn’t attracted to them, he was envious of them. He was starting to think this might be a side effect of being stuck in Lisa’s body. He tried to brush it off when a phone call came in. It was another simple task he’d have to do on this boring day. He looked at the clock and sighed. It was only 11:30 AM.

The Plan

“Where do you think those women ran off to in our bodies?” Jeremy asked.

“I don’t know, but if we don’t find them before this meeting later today, our company is sunk,” Larry replied, “They’re bound to screw up that meeting...if they even show up!”

“What if that was their intention behind this body swap? What if it’s the competition trying to sabotage us?”

“I wouldn’t put it past them. But maybe we can outsmart them. The investors we are going to be meeting with don’t know who they are supposed to meeting with, do they?”

“I don’t suppose they do,” Jeremy smiled.

“We could go like this. We could pretend like nothing’s wrong. Then we go look for our bodies later.”

“Later,” Jeremy sighed, “I don’t want to wait to get my body back.”


“Neither do I, but we might not have a better choice if we can’t find them shortly.”

Not Used Often (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

Frank had to admit that he was enjoying the life of this rich woman. If there was ever a prime candidate for him to swap permanently with, she was certainly near the top of that list. However, he couldn’t escape his guilt for taking her life. He kept telling himself that he’d play one more game of tennis, then he’d go and find his own body and switch back. Of course, that was three or four games ago. Then he told himself just one more swim in the pool. In fact, he kept finding ways to delay his switch back. He knew he should; it was the right thing to do, after all, but he was enjoying this so much. He deserved this life more than she did, right? And who’s to say that he could even find her? He hadn’t seen her outside of the luxury condo since she ran off...

No Returns

Dan left Spells’R’Us and began to walk back through the corridors to the parking lot. He knew he had just purchased something from that store, but he couldn’t quite place his finger on what. He thought about returning, making sure he didn’t just forget to take whatever he had bought. However, something told him that he didn’t forget anything. He thought that maybe he had been ripped off or scammed, but that didn’t seem right either. He knew he had gotten something, but he just couldn’t figure out what. He was completely oblivious to the change to his body, to the fact that he was now a woman. He wouldn’t notice it until much later in the day when he would fall into a panic and rush back to the mall. But by then, the Spells’R’Us store would be long gone, vanished off to a new location, leaving Dan stuck with his new body.

A Good Plan

Tyler knew he was going to need a good plan. After all, he was going to be going up against a witch, a witch that could swap someone’s body! He had been a normal guy before he rubbed her the wrong way before she swapped his body with a fashion model. Now, he planned to get his body back. He scoped her out from a distance, making detailed plans. He needed to get the drop on her, trap her, and prevent her from using her magic. After all, if she could swap him into the body of someONE else, she probably could also swap him with someTHING else...that could easily be worse. He had done a great deal of research to find a way to shield him from her magic, but he needed to be close for it to be effective. That meant that he was going to have to sneak up on her. Once he could get close, he could bind her, and once he could bind her, he could force her to swap him back or else he’d refuse to let her go. The plan wasn’t perfect, but he didn’t have many options unless he wanted to keep this life.

Uncomfortably (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

“Can we at least go home?” Dan asked, “If I am going to be stuck in this condition for the next few days, I’m not sure I feel like being out.”

Katie agreed and the pair started walking to the car, but Dan’s pain got worse. Dan pleaded that he was not going to make it.

Katie sighed and offered her hand to help. Dan hated to admit it, but holding the hand of his former body felt nice. He felt protected and safe. He also could feel a budding attraction, which just seemed sort of weird and egotistical. He wasn’t sure if he could make it through these next few days, but he was glad to have Katie by his side as he did.

Match (Part 1)

Eric had been hitting up the gym every single day to train. He had dreams of becoming a professional boxer, and with an upcoming amateur match at the end of the week, his dream would be one step closer if he could pull off an impressive performance. The day started out normal enough with early morning exercise, but a sudden flash occurred while he was hitting the bag and suddenly he stood in front of a mirror with a different reflection looking back at him. He had swapped bodies with someone, but not just anyone, with one of the few chicks in the room at the time. Judging from the screams he could hear all around, he wasn’t the only one with this type of problems. His only concern was his upcoming match. How could he compete like this!? The other guy would kill him! That is, if the other guy was still a guy!

Appliance

Robert looked down at the new appliance in his kitchen. Martha, his wife, had been setting it up this morning. When she finally plugged it in while he was in the shower, a strange jolt shot through the house, swapping the couple’s bodies. It seemed completely unrealistic that the object in front of him could do such a thing, but he couldn’t argue with what obviously happened. Martha had to go to work in his place while he stayed home in her body. He had the whole day just to stare at this thing and worry about trying to figure out how to use it again to get their bodies back!

Polar Opposite (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

After speaking with others in the locker room, Irving soon discovered he wasn’t the only one who had swapped bodies. In fact, whatever happened had seemed to affect just about every single one of the women in the room. Most of them had been men at the gym before the swap and were now in the bodies of Ashley’s sorority sisters. Many were worried, but Irving stood tall and put his hands on his hips.

“Let’s face it,” He explained to all of them, “We’ve been given a second chance. Some of us may have had good lives before this swap, others maybe less so. But who has it better than hot women? I mean, seriously, look at us! Every last one of us is drop dead gorgeous! Imagine applying whatever talents we had before teamed with bodies like these! We’ll all be unstoppable!”

Follow that Man!

The woman running up to Clark took him by surprise. In one instant, he saw her bolting towards him, and the next minute he saw his own body running the other way. He looked down to discover that the woman had switched bodies with him somehow. He reacted quickly by jumping on the back of a motorcycle pointing and shouting to the driver, “Follow that woman...I mean, man!”

But the driver didn’t go anywhere. He just gave Clark a strange look. But Clark could only look in the distance, seeing his own body get further and further away.

Daylight

The strange curse had started a week ago. Hank had woken up in the body of a beautiful woman. He didn’t turn back into himself until the sun set and night came. He had breathed a sigh of relief when he became himself again. He could only imagine someone had wanted to teach him a lesson, forcing him to spend a day as a woman. But the next morning, it happened again; he was once again a woman. Sure enough, each morning with the sun rise, he would transform. And each evening with the sunset, he would change back. After a week, he had gotten quite used to it. He realized that living in the nighttime hours might prove to be difficult, so he decided to embrace his new femininity and live for the daylight.

Wake Up

It wasn’t possible to simply wake up in someone else’s body? Was it? And a woman’s body, no less! Andrew was in disbelief. He was sure he was still dreaming. Maybe he just hadn’t woken up. What other explanation could there be? He calmly walked to the bathroom, noting how real everything seem while still telling himself that he certainly must be dreaming. He took some water on the sink and splashed it on his face, but it didn’t wake him up. He still stood there in the bathroom with a very female face looking back at him in the mirror.

Outsider

Several years ago Greg had come to the small village to help. He had hoped to bring food and medicine and much more to the people in the remote location. They didn’t receive him well. They told him that he was an outsider and that he couldn’t understand. He pressured, insisting that he only wanted to help. Eventually, an elderly couple took him aside. If he wanted to help, they had a way for him to blend in. Pulling out a barrage of trinkets and a red dress they explained their daughter had passed away several years ago at age 20. Through the use of magic, they could bring back her body but not her soul. However, Greg’s soul could inhabit her body and pick up life where she left off. Greg pushed back. He certainly didn’t believe in magic and even if he did, the idea of becoming a woman, this couple’s daughter, made him uncomfortable. The couple told him that if he really wanted to help, this would be the only way the other villagers would listen. They just didn’t trust any outsiders. And if he didn’t believe in magic, why did he have to fear by trying? He agreed and was almost instantly overwhelmed by a thick smoke. He awoke the next day wearing the red dress and sure enough was inside the body of the couple’s daughter.
