Passed Out


Ryan was a bit concerned when he suddenly passed out without warning. When he came to and started to lift himself off the ground, he couldn’t help think that everything just didn’t feel right. He was having trouble walking and even standing; it was like his entire body was off-balance and unfamiliar. He could hear people in the distance screaming. Then he approached a small group; they were all talking about having passed out as well and awakening in a new body. When he heard about others passing out, he felt a bit of relief, thinking he wasn’t the only one. Then he heard them talking about swapping bodies and thought they were crazy. That is, until he finally looked down to discover he too now had a new and very different body than the one he was used to.

Fine with Me


“So, I still, like, don’t understand and stuff.” Mark told Todd, “Why would our daughters want to steal our lame middle aged bodies?”

“Booze, I guess?”

“Doesn’t booze seem kinda gross to you now? And isn’t it weird how hot guys seem kinda awesome? And for that matter, we’ve totally been talking like them.”

“I guess stuff was left behind in the transfer and junk. But I really can’t complain about being young again...I mean, if they want to be us and let us be them, that’s fine with me.”

Temporary


“Can’t I stop yet?” Carlos whined, “I feel like my legs are going to fall off.”

“You still have another hundred reps,” Angela informed him, “And those aren’t YOUR legs; they’re MINE...even if you are temporarily in control of them, as well as the rest of my body, thanks to this stupid body swap. I do this routine every day, so you should be able to handle it with no problems. I don’t want to get my body back all flabby and out of shape just because I let you lax on my exercise routine.” “Fine. Fine. But after this, I am so grabbing some pizza.” “NO YOU’RE NOT!”

Carlos could hear the fire in Angela’s voice. He was joking about the pizza remark, of course, but if she was forcing him to do all this exercise while swapped, he was sure going to try to mess with her a little.

After a few more minutes, Eric still couldn’t bring himself to look at his former body, but he could hear the cries. He couldn’t bear it any longer and left. He felt bad about the smug smile on his face after what he just did, but he couldn’t help it. He actually felt quite accomplished. He had pulled off a difficult task, and he was proud. Not to mention the fact that this body was now going to be his for the rest of his life. It was a lot to smile about!

It had been two weeks of solid work and lots of bribes. Eric was pretty sure it had worked so far -- after all, he hadn’t found himself suddenly back in his own body. But there was still the moment of truth. According to the contract, he had to show up at the same place at the exact same time two weeks later, wearing the same clothes Yumi had worn. If he didn’t do it, someone would know something was up. His original body was practically in tears; he had to turn away. Then he felt his soul move out of his body; however, instead of returning to his original form, his soul settled right back into Yumi’s body. He began to smile, but he refused to look at his own body. He couldn’t. He knew she’d be devastated. But her dismay was worth his joy. He had her wonderful and fantastic body. As far as the people that swapped him were concerned, they had switched back. This body was all his now.

Eric left with a smile still on his face. He was sure his plan to keep Yumi’s body would work, but just in case it didn’t, he wanted to live his first day in her body to the fullest. After all, the contract he had signed before swapping was as thick as a phone book, and everything he would have to do to keep this body violating many of the clauses contained in the contract. While no court would consider the contract valid -- not one had yet to recognize body swapping was even possible -- many of the people responsible enforced all those contracts carefully. One wrong person with knowledge of his plan and he’d be switched back to his own body so fast. That’s why he knew he had to be very careful. But even being careful, there was still a very real possibility of failure, and that’s why he decided he would be enjoying today living by the rules. There was plenty of time to start his plan tomorrow.

Eric picked the coffee up off the table, turned his former body, and smirked. He had paid for two weeks in this body, and he was sure to enjoy his time. Of course, if all went according to plan, he’d be able to stay put in this body for much, much longer. He laughed thinking about poor Yumi. He knew it was probably cruel of him to doom her to his old life. That body of his was so overweight and unhealthy. He hadn’t exercised; he smoked; he drank. But he sure did have a lot of money. It was how he was able to afford this time in Yumi’s body. It was how he planned to keep Yumi’s body. Of course, he had to be careful. If any word of his plan got to the wrong people, they would swap him back instantly. But if he could pull this off just right...he laughed again. There’d be time to start to enact his plan starting tomorrow; for now, he just took another sip of coffee and decided to enjoy being in Yumi’s body.

Summer Job


Yumi put down her coffee, checked her phone, and looked nervously around the room. Her work assignment was set to start in five minutes. It wasn’t a job she wanted to take, but the pay for a mere two weeks would be enough to pay for her college for the entire year. She took off her coat and waited some more. A man sat down across from her and smiled in her direction. She shuttered as she looked at him. He was overweight, had terrible skin, and was quite unattractive. Yet for the next two weeks, she would be in his body, and he would be in hers. That was her job assignment. She was told by a friend about how it was easy money, but she imagined that this guy was some type of perv and she hated imagining the things he may do with his time in her body. But she sighed, knowing she needed the money and that it was too late to back out now. Slowly, she felt her soul transfer out of her body...

Let Go


Aaron looked up to the sky to see the UFO that had held him captive for several weeks fly away. He was glad to finally be free, but unsure of why they had so suddenly let him go. On the ship, he had undergone multiple tests and many prods. He was sure they would never be done with him. But then in an instant, they were. It seemed all too suspicious until he looked down to see long blond hair cascading past his shoulders and long, shapely legs. Those damned aliens had swapped his brain into a woman’s body. They may have left, but they certainly weren’t done testing him. He had a feeling they were still watching him, curious to see how he’d act with this new form.

Sick of It (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

It took quite a while before Joel even began to suspect anything was amiss. He heard several cat calls in his direction and just figured they were directed toward someone else. He was hit on by a guy, but he just figured the dude was gay. It wasn’t until he went into a bathroom some time later when he reached his hand into the tight leather shorts and discovered he was missing something very important to him. Then it all started to fall into place. He noticed his new body and his new clothes. He began to trace back his steps to the bus stop and he knew somehow that this is where it happened. And strangely, something told him who was responsible as well. He didn’t know her name, but he knew she’d be waiting there tomorrow, just like every day. But could he survive in this body for a day? For all he knew, he had no identity; he didn’t even know if he had a change of clothes. Maybe the purse he held contained some answers? He was doing all he could to stay composed and not panic.

Sick of It


Joel always knew he was the type of guy that talked too much. Every morning at the bus stop, he’d make a comment about how he’d love to bang one of the hot chicks he saw in the posters there or talk with a friend on the phone about some chinese woman he had slept with. It was so obnoxious, and one day one of his fellow riders decided she had enough. With her slight experience with witchcraft, she decided to teach Joel a lesson. Slowly, Joel’s body began to change into a composite of all the women he had talked about over the years. He took on some of the model-like qualities from the women in the ads; he also had aspects of women he had bragged about sleeping with. Even his clothes changed to match. The witch smiled upon seeing her work, knowing that the best part was that Joel wouldn’t even notice right away. He would’t notice until he was hit on by a few guys. Of course, she was sure that with a body like he had now, Joel would notice his new body fairly quickly. And she’d be long gone before the next realization -- that she was the one responsible for his transformation.

Cell Phone Conspiracy


Despite a vast number of conspiracy theorists urging otherwise, researchers had been touting the safety of cell phones for years. Of course, none of them could’ve ever imagined a mad scientist hacking the systems. He was able to alter the cell waves in such a way to cause any two people talking on a cell phone (not necessarily to each other) to switch brains. At first, few believed those that had been swapped; the mad scientist started slowly with only a few people. Then it got more widespread and much more chaotic. It also seemed that the mad scientist was quite particular; no one ever swapped more than once. Despite the panic, there were some that didn’t seem to mind. Kevin, for instance, had been one of the ones to switch bodies early on when he found himself in the body of a woman named Maria. It was about a week after it happened before anyone even believed him. But he wasn’t complaining about his new body. If anything, he considered a trade up. While many in the world wanted the mad scientist dead, Kevin would probably thank him if he ever saw him.

New Life


Martin never expected to be wearing a dress to his own wedding reception; he never expected to ever wear a dress, actually. Of course, he never expected a massive world wide body swapping moments before he said “I do.” The event would later be come to be known as “The Great Shift,” but at the time it happened, Martin called it “suddenly being stuck in body of one of my wife’s bridesmaids.” Martin’s wife was swapped too; she was now in the body of the minister performing the ceremony. Sure enough, just about everyone in the hall was now someone else. It was chaos figuring out who was who, but after gathering the essential people to finish the ceremony, a quick demand to follow the seating chart helped figure out the rest quickly. When Martin talked in his vows about starting a new life with his bride, he certainly never expected anything like this literal!

Back in Time


Officer Frank Watts knew the discovery would be trouble. Now he was the one on the force assigned to go back in time to chase criminals who fled to the past. There was a strange catch about time travel, your body didn’t go with you; you had to jump into the body of one of your ancestors. On Frank’s most recent jump, the perp had gone back to World War 2, while both of Frank’s grandfathers were off fighting the war. He had no choice but to jump into his grandmother’s body. He had probably done this a hundred times, but he had never jumped into a female ancestor before. He briefly looked at himself in the mirror, feeling quite odd in the unfamiliar body. But he didn’t have too much time to dwell on it; there was a criminal to catch!

One Leg at a Time


After the Great Shift happened, Jack was pretty freaked out about being a woman’s body, but he was more concerned for his family. It took him almost all day for him to reach his parents back in his hometown. His mom understood his concern about suddenly being a woman, but she told him that no matter what body someone had, they all were mostly the same; utilizing the famous “We all put our pants on one leg at a time” quote. This comforted Jack at first, but was starting to really question the wisdom of his mother’s words. On many days, the pants his new body owned were simply too tight. Instead of putting them on one leg at a time, he had to stick both feet in at once and sort of shimmy the pants and his hips to get them up to his waist. This was particularly true for all the leather pants and leggings this body seemed to own. Then again, it was even more different the other day when he braved going out wearing a skirt! There wasn’t any pants even involved on that day! His mother’s words may still offer some comfort, but he was pretty sure that she had no idea what the hell she was talking about.

Abducted

Alex was caught off-guard when three big men came out of a van and pulled him inside. He knew he had no hope of overpowering them before they injected him with a drug that caused him to pass out. He awoke far from the city on the side of a road that ran through the desert. And the weirdest part of the whole abduction was that he awoke here in someone else’s body -- the body of a woman! He wanted to freak out about the fact that he had no idea who he was, but right now he had the more immediate concern of returning to civilization. Not many cars seemed to come out here, he didn’t have a cell phone to call a taxi, nor did he even have any clue exactly where he was. There’s be plenty of time to figure out the situation with his body later.

It Started with a Kiss

It would probably be pretty fair to say that Dave was having an odd day. It started that morning when he kissed his girlfriend. He felt and odd twinge and suddenly found himself in her body. They kissed again and switched back. At first, they both convinced themselves that it didn’t really happen but Dave had an odd thought on the way to work. He decided to try an experiment and kissed a random woman on the street. Sure enough, he was soon in her body. He started kissing all sorts of people and swapping into their bodies, realizing he could use them to go all sorts of places he couldn’t otherwise go. For instance, later in the day, he kissed a woman on her way to the gym. After getting to experience the women’s locker room and take a dip in the pool, he saw another woman that he felt like swapping with and planted one on her lips. It was pretty much like this all day for him until he realized he needed to get home and had no idea where his original body was anymore!

Cold Swap (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

John heard a noise and turned his head. His own body was standing there with a shocked expression.

“What did you do?” His own body asked.

“I didn’t do anything,” Replied John, “But I’ve got to say I like the results. In fact, even if I did have the ability to switch bodies, why would I ever give up a body as great as this?”

John couldn’t quite believe how defensive he was being, but he had to admit that he had quickly taken a liking to his new body.

Cold Swap

It had been so cold out that John had rushed from his car to his office building. He had bumped into a woman along the way, but he was so focused on how frozen he felt that he ignored any other feeling he might be having. That is, until he got inside and saw his reflection in a mirror. He stared at the face that looked back at him for several minute. Then he struck a pose with pouty lips and put his hands on his hips. He wasn’t sure if he should giggle or cry -- he had somehow swapped bodies with the woman he had run into! It wasn’t a bad trade, by any means, but he wasn’t sure if he could get used to being a woman all of a sudden!

Past

Some days it was still hard for Darren to remember who he once was. It was over five years ago now, back when he was still in high school. He had been on the football team; it was an away game. With the score tied and seconds left to play, he suddenly found himself on the sidelines. But he wasn’t just off the field, he was also out of his body and now stuck inside the body of one of the cheerleaders on the opposing team. It turned out all his teammates were as well. Everyone was freaking out, but the swapping seemed limited to just the field. Explaining the swap to the outside world was tough. Darren’s mom and dad were quick to accept they now had a daughter instead of a son. And Darren didn’t change much. Sure, he wasn’t able to play ball anymore, but he still walked around in a flannel and oversized coat. He lost track of the woman in his body after about a year. And stopped talking with many of his swapped friends once he went to college. In fact, no one at college thought of him as anything other than a normal woman. It was only sometimes when he went back to his home town when anyone might mention anything, and even then it was often just in passing. His old self seemed like a past life and a very distant memory.

Middle of Nowhere

Jason had lived in the city for most of his life. It was a shock when he blinked his eyes and his surroundings changed from skyscrapers to trees. He spoke cautiously aloud, “Where am I?” But he immediately noted how odd his voice sounded and he lifted his hands to his throat. This continued to cascade as he now noticed how different his hands were. They were softer, smoother, and there were rings on his fingers. It didn’t take him long to figure out that he was not only in a strange place, but his mind also seemed to be inside a stranger’s body. The one thing he was now sure of was that he was now a woman, and he had no idea where he could find a mirror, but from his perspective of what he could see, he was sure she was quite beautiful.
