Leather

Puja felt a moment of discomfort when meeting the man who swapped into her body as a result of the Great Shift. She had quite quite as peace with the whole idea of swapping, clinging to her Hindi faith as a means of coping, telling herself the Shift was like early reincarnation. However, when she saw her former body dressed completely in leather, she wanted to throw up. Kevin didn’t see what the big deal was. He didn’t know anything about Puja’s faith; he just knew his new body looked great and wanted dress in a way that made it look even better. It never occurred to him that Puja was Hindi or that cows were sacred to her. As he walked toward her to make a casual greeting, she ran, being unable to cope with this situation. Kevin thought he understood, thinking it must be quite difficult to see one’s former body. Of course, Kevin was quite clueless as to what was really going on in Puja’s mind. He may have had her body, but that was very far from truly understanding someone.
