Number 10

Once a month for the past year, Alberto had been attending a body swapping convention. The process was simple. You’d swap bodies with someone at the beginning of the day and get a number. The number would allow you to claim your body at the end of the day. It had gone off without a hitch each time. He’s been older, younger, fatter, skinnier, female, male, and just about every different type of person he could imagine.

This time was different. Right before it was time to swap back, another swapper noticed his number. The burly man suggested a trade. They should each swap their original number. That way they’d be able to swap bodies for an entire month instead of just a day. Alberto knew it was technically against the rules, but he was sort of curious; an entire month as someone else could be interesting. But he also knew zero about this person’s original body. Eventually, he accepted and handed over his own number while getting the number “10” back in return.

He was nervous when it was time to switch back. But it went off without a hitch. Instead of ending up back in his own body, he was in the body of a gorgeous asian woman. This was certainly going to be an interesting month! In fact, he was already thinking about not going back and keeping this body for good!

Alive

Seamus awoke in the hospital bed to see three women he didn’t recognize. He vaguely remembered an accident, but who were these women? “Thank God, you’re okay, Diane.” One woman said giving Seamus a hug.

Seamus didn’t say anything as these women continued to gush until finally escorted out by a doctor. The doctor sat next the Seamus.

“Have you figured it out yet?” The doctor asked, “After your accident, we needed to take great steps to save your life. Your brain was placed in the body of a woman named Diane Jackson. The surgery was experimental, so we had to keep it secret. Not even her family knows; that’s why they were just in here.”

Seamus looked down to see his new body, finally realizing it for the first time. The doctor was telling him a strange truth, but he couldn’t deny the evidence. At least he was alive...

Made Up

Evan was pretty sure he was never going to get the hang of putting on makeup. After three months of being stuck in a woman’s body thanks to the Great Shift, he was still having trouble. Sure, he had gotten better at applying makeup; it wasn’t nearly as messy as when he had first tried putting it on. But it still never seemed to look quite right when he did it. Maybe he just had no clue how to get the colors right; they always looked wrong. It was particularly frustrating since he had mastered so many other aspects of being a woman. It only took him about a day to figure out how to put on a bra, two and he was a master at walking in heels. Heck, even things like styling his hair and picking out a nice outfit didn’t seem much trouble for him. Why was makeup so hard?

Bus Station

Ryan awoke feeling groggy. He looked around. It was funny. He hadn’t remembered falling asleep at the bus station; he didn’t even seem to recall going to the bus station. Yet here he was, waking up in one of the chairs. He stretched out and could suddenly feel a very different body from the one he went to sleep with. He was a woman. He tried to calmly assess the situation. He was in a woman’s body at the bus station. He woke a leather jacket, some tight pants, a pair of boots, and a ball cap. There was a purse -- he immediately dug in. There didn’t seem to be any ID, but there was plenty of cash. He bought a coffee and continued to evaluate his situation. What was he going to do? The cash in that purse wouldn’t last forever, but it was enough to get him plenty of places (he was at the bus station after all). His first thought: buy a ticket and head back to his own house to approach the person now in his body. His other option: buy a ticket far away and start a new life with this great body/

Dark Web

Alex turned around and tried to speak with the calmest voice he could muster, “Nicole, I appreciate that you are trying to help, but it would be great if you could just let me concentrate. I am fully aware of researching things on the internet without you yelling at me what to type into Google. So far, I haven’t found anything about body swapping beyond pure fiction, but if you have any hope of ever reversing this swap, I need to be able to dig deep onto the dark web for answers. It’s hard for me to do that if I have you screaming in my ear. Maybe you should go into the other room to do your own research, and let me do mine. We’ve been stuck in each other’s bodies for three days already; I’d prefer not to be stuck a minute longer than I have to be, so please let me work on this in peace!”

Just a Few Minutes

“Amber!” Paul shouted, “You can’t be in here with my body! And you don’t have to hover over me at all times! I know you don’t trust me with your body ever since we switched, but I will be needing to go to the bathroom from time to time! I think you can trust that I won’t be doing anything weird for the five minutes that I need to pee! Now hurry up and leave before someone sees you in here and you get me in trouble. And I suggest you listen to me, because if you don’t, I will be spending this little bathroom break thinking of all sorts of ways that I can embarrass you as long as I have your body. Now, please, just give me a few minutes here!”

Ruined

The ruins in discovered in the center of the city had been quite a surprise and soon became a popular destination for researchers and tourists alike. It was astonishing how a large find could go undiscovered for so long. Matthew had gone down to the ruins with a tour group. A strange blue light surrounded them as they entered a room. When they exited, Matthew felt different. When he looked down, he discovered he swapped bodies with another person on the tour -- an absolutely gorgeous woman in tight pants and high heels. He wanted to say something, but no one else seemed to be questioning what had happened. Even his own body was acting normal. Was he the only one who was even aware that anything had happened. He sat just outside the ruins as the rest of the group went on. This was a lot to wrap his head around. Would he even be able to explain to anyone what had happened? Would it happen again if he went back in?

Helping Out

James thought he was simply doing his girlfriend, Amy, a favor. She had gotten in trouble at school, and he had used a spell that would temporarily allow him to possess her mom’s body for the parent-teacher conference. He smiled as the teacher explained the extent of Amy’s misbehavior, and he said he’d deal with her at home. Of course, this was all just to prevent Amy’s mom from finding out what happened. James smiled even bigger as he thought about how smart his plan had been. There was only one problem, after several hours, he had failed to return to his own body. He wondered if he had messed up the possession somehow. He decided it would be a bad idea to tell Amy. She might be upset that he possessed her mom -- even if was to keep her from getting in trouble. He was still stuck the next morning. He was really worried by this point, but he continued to pretend to be Amy’s mom as he dropped her off at school. But when he was there, he caught sight of his own body. He was puzzled. He was possessing Amy’s mom; who the heck was controlling his body?

Life's a Beach

Ed didn’t question the woman running by him in a bikini on the beach. At least a dozen other had done so earlier in the day. But then he was lifted to his feet and handcuffed by a cop a few minutes later. He tried to question, but with the first few words out of his mouth, he noticed something wrong with his voice. He looked down and saw a familiar pink bikini. Then he looked over and saw his own body lying on the beach where he had just been.

He tried to explain to the officer, “I know it sounds crazy, but I’m not who you think I am. This...isn’t my body.”

The cop just shook his head. And Ed did know he sounded crazy. Whatever crime this woman had committed, he was going to go down for it. There was no way he was going to be able to say she had swapped bodies with him to set him up. It just seemed way too impossible to even believe!

Later

Luke knew he should probably feel bad about what he did to his brother Will. When his wife Alana had divorced him, Luke had used an experimental device to transform Will into her exact double. But that wasn’t the part that was really nagging him. It was the mental change she had made to his brother with the device. He had outlined personality traits he wanted in a perfect wife, and Will’s mind had been transformed as well. This was bothering Luke one day as Will walked down the stairs.

“I am ready for the party tonight? How do I look?” Will asked, “I can’t wait for some fun after the party either!”

Luke’s jaw nearly dropped, forgetting his concerns. Alana never would’ve worn something so sexy and revealing. They kissed, and Luke got instantly excited for later.

Then Will whispered in Luke’s ear, “But, first, Bro, let me down a couple brews. I’m totally pre-gaming.” Then he grabbed a beer and chips, sat wide-legged on the couch and started watching some TV.

This was always the awkward parts for Luke, when elements of Will still showed up. When he still acting like a dude no matter what else was going on. He began to get a little worried about ‘later.’

Fascinated

Jack realized he probably should’ve been concerned with who he was now or why it had happened. However, all he could do was stare in a mirror and look at his new reflection. He had been doing so now for several hours. His skin was smooth; the face looking back at him was downright beautiful. He didn’t quite care how this had happened. He was just fascinated that it did!

Claim

When the Great Shift swapped him into his sister’s body, Brandon couldn’t really say no to her request to dress each day to her explicit direction. After all, he still considered it her body; he was just borrowing it until somebody came up with a way to reverse the Shift’s effects. It wasn’t so bad at first, but each day she asked him to wear more and more feminine things. By the end of the week, she found himself in short skirts, lace, and even all sorts of flowery accessories. He decided to tell her that enough was enough. It was starting to seem more likely that this swap wasn’t going to be temporary, and he’d have to start claiming this body as his own.

Harvey began to grow impatient. She said fifteen minutes, right? It had to be at least half an hour since she called at this point. He couldn’t imagine what would be keeping her. He considered the idea of her wanting to steal his body quite impossible. Why would she want to be a forty year old, overweight, truck driver? He couldn’t imagine anyone else would be happy with his body. Heck, the only reason he wanted it back was because it was his and what he was used to. He couldn’t begin to imagine getting used to the skinny, feminine body he was currently in. But what if he had to? What if she didn’t come to switch them back? What if something had happened to her on the way to fix this? What if she had died? Would that mean he was stuck like this? His mind started to race as another fifteen minuted passed. She still hadn’t shown up.

Finally, a man exited the building and turned to look in Harvey’s direction. “Are you done your smoke break yet, Sue?” He asked.

Harvey nervous nodded and followed the man back into the building. Maybe there were answers in there. She did say this was caused by a device created by her company, right?

Tech

Harvey wasn’t quite sure what to make of things when he suddenly found himself inside the body of a beautiful Asian woman. He didn’t have much time to think before a ringing came from the woman’s purse. He recognized the caller ID as his own number, and he answered it. His own voice on the other end began to apologize immediately. It seems the tech company this woman worked for had been testing out some sort of new body switching device. Harvey had been caught up by accident. She told him to stay put, and she’d be there in about fifteen minutes to arrive with everything needed to get back to normal. Harvey sighed and told her that he’d stay put -- as if he had any choice! He’d heard some weird things being developed in the tech world, but he never thought something like this would ever exist! He tried to put the ethical questions out of his mind and just concentrate on waiting. He just wanted to be back to his own body as soon as possible.

Perfect Wife

Kimberly looked down at the glasses. She had played the role of the perfect wife for years, but she’s only have to play the role for a few more hours until the liquid she spiked the drinks with would take effect. By the time morning hits, she will have swapped bodies with her unsuspecting husband, Dave. She smiled as she thought about it. She loved Dave on some level, but the reason she married him was for this moment -- to take over his life, to become him. He was rich, successful, and handsome. It was the life she wanted. And she had pretended to be the exact type of woman he wanted -- feminine, submissive, and obedient. It was difficult for her to keep to ruse up for several years, but waking up in the morning as Dave would mean it would all be worth it. Then he’d be the one stuck in this body. And she’d expect him to be just as good a wife as she had been!

Had to Be Her

Doug looked down on the crowd below him. He had to make a choice -- to pick which person’s body he was going to take. There were a lot of people down there; he could have just about any body he wanted. Then he saw her, a platinum blond in a leather jacket. He hadn’t considered being a woman until he saw her, but something about it just felt right. He knew now that all he had to do was focus. He could feel his body reshaping. He could feel his pants tighten around a new shapely butt. The pants rode low and he could feel a breeze on his new fit belly. He felt the heels on his feet. And he looked down to see his former body. He knew she wouldn’t even realize the swap for a while. He felt bad about taking her body, but he also knew he had to pick someone. It just happened to be her.

Gown

Roger took a deep breath as he sat down in his room at the Exchange Island resort. He always loved visiting, but he never could really get used to the initial shock of being in a different body upon arriving. And speaking of different, finding himself in a body wearing a fancy gown was unique. Most people vacationed in pretty casual clothing. A few times he had swapped bodies with a person wearing a swimsuit, but a gown? He couldn’t help but wonder what this woman was thinking going to tropical resort wearing such a thing -- particularly one where you end up in someone else’s body. No matter, he was sure she packed other things; but getting out of this thing was probably going to take some work!

For the next few minutes, Steven just stood there and thought. His grandmother had done this to him? She had turned him into a woman? Then again, she had also granted him the powers of a witch -- he wasn’t quite sure what that meant. Just how much power did he now have? Then he remembered he still had the magic wand. Feeling it in his hand, he could now feel his power. He smiled. His grandmother hadn’t taken his manhood; she had given him an incredible gift. This was going to be a good life.

Steven brought the small box inside and opened it up. Inside was a note. He immediately recognized the handwriting; his grandmother had written this. Quite curious he began to read:

Dear Steven,
By now, you are quite aware of your new body. I’m afraid to tell you that there is no going back; you are a woman now forever. But it is for the best, as it was the only way to truly unlock your power. You are a witch, a powerful one. But as a man, you would’ve never been able to use your power. I cursed the wand to transform you. I am truly sorry. But I assure you that the wand is magic and now that you are female, you will be able to use it.
Love,
Grandma

Steven was shocked. He wasn’t sure whether to be angry or happy or excited or what. He was a witch? He was a woman now...for good? His grandmother did this to him? And what about that guy in the car that had a crush on him? What about this woman’s life before he took it over?

Steven gave an awkward wave to the man in the car as he headed into Sarah’s house. It wasn’t just awkward because he had just been kissed or because of the eerily quiet ride, but mostly because Steven was still quite uncomfortable in this body. The breeze on his legs blowing up his skirt was odd, the long hair was weird. And he didn’t even want to begin to think about his new female body parts. He smiled, hoping the man would finally drive away, which he did.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was finally alone and could once again use the magic wand. Though he figured he should head inside first, but before he did, he noticed an odd box in front of the house. He felt compelled to pick it up.

Steven smiled, pretending to be in on the joke, “Yeah, just kidding. It’s just me, uh, Sarah, being Sarah.” He struggled a bit to call himself Sarah, “Let’s go home.”

The car ride was quiet. It was like the man was mad at him. He pulled up to a house and Steven was about to get out when the man stopped him.

“You should really stop messing with me like that,” He said.

Steven stared back blankly. “You know I like you. You need to stop teasing me.” Then he placed a kiss straight on Steven’s lips. Shocked, Steven ran out of the car and up to the house.

Steven darted out of the back room. He didn’t see his own body or this woman’s anywhere. Breathing a bit of a sigh, he exited the store, hoping to find a place to be alone. Before he could get anywhere, a man stopped him.

“Where are you going?” The man asked.

Steven tried to think, “Uh, home, I guess.”

“I don’t know how you plan on getting there without me, Sarah. I’m your ride.”

“Riiiiight, so are we....dating?” The man laughed, “What’s gotten into you today?”

Alone

When Steven had first been given the magic wand by his grandmother, he had a hard time believing it was actually magic. But she had seemed so sincere, telling him he just needed to wave it and magic would happen. He first attempted to do it in front of her, but nothing happened. She smiled and told him he needed to be alone for any magic to work. He didn’t think about it again until he found himself alone in the stock room at work. Taking a little extra time to goof off in the back room wasn’t uncommon. He pulled out the wand, and that was apparently enough of a wave as shocks flew out the end. The next thing he knew, his body was transformed. He was now -- a woman! He rushed to a mirror in the employee break room. He recognized her; she was upfront shopping. Or at least she was. Had he simply transformed into her or had he swapped bodies with her? Was she now up front in his body shopping? If he was now her double, wouldn’t she be freaked out to see herself emerging from the back? He decided he should change back. He pulled out the wand again, but nothing happened. He started to panic until he heard a toilet flush in one of the stalls -- it wouldn’t work because he wasn’t alone anymore. That had to be it, right? He just needed to find some place where he could be alone, then he could get back to normal. He was sure of it.

Going to Be Fun

Carl had been initially upset after swapping bodies with Amanda. She would bug him about everything. What to wear, what he could or couldn’t do. But it didn’t take him long to discover an upside by simply not doing it. She told him to take an umbrella so that her hair wouldn’t get messed up in the rain. When he didn’t, he soon found Amanda running after him, holding an umbrella over his head. He tried not to smirk as she sulked. This was going to be fun.

Moving

Gavin stood outside his apartment as the movers headed in and out, loading up the van. If this had been two months ago, Gavin could’ve done this all himself. Of course, two months ago, there would’ve never been a reason for him to move. That was before the Great Shift, the massive worldwide body swapping event that caused him to end up in the body of a woman. His wife had a new body as well, but she remained female. At first, their relationship stayed mostly the same. But as the weeks passed, Gavin began to embrace his new femininity more and more. It started with a few little things; Gavin saw a cockroach in the kitchen and shrieked. He began to put on make up, dress in high heels and skirts, go the beauty salon and get manicures, and so on. The thing that finally ended it was when she realized how much Gavin really wanted to be with a man.

So now Gavin stood outside, truly ready to begin his new life after the Shift. He thought about helping out the movers for a minute -- sort of remembering a little piece of his old self -- then he thought he might break a nail, so he just stayed watching.

Summertime

William sighed as he slouched in his chair. This was supposed to be the best summer of his life before heading off to college in the fall. Instead, thanks to the Great Shift, he was stuck in one of the bodies of his former high school teachers. He knew it could have been worse; he could’ve swapped with one of the teachers about to retire. Instead, he was only about fifteen to twenty years older than he had been. Still, he was a little jealous of his classmates, most of whom had just swapped with other students. They all sort of treated him like a parent anytime they hung out these days. No matter how much they all knew otherwise, it was hard to treat him like who he was instead of who he looked like. He just hoped someone found a way to reverse this whole body swap thing before summer was over. He didn’t want to start college in this body!

Hard to Explain

Lawrence had been sitting his den for the three hours, waiting for his wife to come home and trying to think of what he was going to say to her. He wasn’t sure how he had swapped bodies with the random woman on the street, but how was he going to explain who he really was to his wife? Luckily, he got home first. Instead of changing out of the highly feminine clothes she wore, he just sat and thought. His heart beat faster as he heard the front door open and close. He still hadn’t come up with something good to say to her. He sat frozen until he heard his wife speak, “Honey, I’m home.” But the voice wasn’t hers. It was lower pitched; it was a man’s voice. If she had swapped too, maybe this might not be so hard to explain.

Out

Hell

Just before his car accident, the only thing on Jim’s mind was the argument with his wife. He had been pressuring her to get a boob job, but she was offended by the mere suggestion and flat out refused. Jim was angry, so angry he didn’t see the stop sign resulting in a crash. He awoke in a strange room, but that wasn’t the worst part. He had awoken in what was clearly someone else’s body. He looked down to find that it was a woman’s body with rather enormous breasts. He was convinced he had died and that this was some sort of unique ironic hell after the argument he had with his wife. After a few hours of panic, he started to settle down. A different thought came over him. He realized he had exactly what he had desired right below him. He didn’t have to pressure his wife, and he could enjoy breasts any time he wanted now just by looking down. They were a bit larger and heavier than he expected, but he really wasn’t complaining. He started to think that this may not be hell at all; maybe this was heaven!

By the end of the week, Nick was sulking about checking out. He groaned as he went to the front desk, expecting to be swapped back to his own body instantly. However, the clerk just made a tsk sound and told Nick to wait. After about an hour, a manager came out and inform Nick about all the rules he had broken during his stay. As a result, the woman whose body he had was allowed a punishment or reward of her choosing. She had chosen to extend her stay, which would leave Nick trapped in her body longer. She hoped a little more time as someone would else would get Nick to appreciate it better. But Nick just shrugged. He was going to be stuck on a tropical paradise inside of a gorgeous body for a little while longer? It didn’t seem much of a punishment at all to him. He immediately put back on a bathing suit and went back to the beach.

“...And I swear no one told me to expect anything like this.” Nick concluded telling his Exchange Island experience to a woman on the beach that he had found particularly attractive.

“I still can’t believe you didn’t read the rules before coming. Just about everyone that comes here does so because of the body swapping. I’m actually a guy myself.” Sam confessed.

“So, Sam’s not short for Samantha?”

“Nope.”

“So if we’re both guys in gorgeous women’s bodies, why don’t we go back to my room for some...fun?” “You really haven’t read the rules, have you? If you keep talking like that, you’re going to get us both in some big trouble.”
