Power


Large power lines ran not far from Harris’s house. A large fence that went for miles around them blocked anyone from getting too close, but Harris still enjoyed walking around there for some reason. He often thought about why these particular lines were fenced off with so much distance; one day he found out just how dangerous they could be. His face was pressed up close to the fence, trying to get a good look when a bolt shot from one of the lines and zapped him. He was out cold.

As he reawoke and stood up, he felt shaky. He looked around, and he noticed at first that he was on the clear other side of the small hill where the line’s towers stood. And the next thing he noticed that he was no longer in his own body! The zap must have swapped him with someone else walking nearby. He guessed the best course of action would be to walk around and find his own body, but it was going to be a long walk around. With an unfamiliar body, it was going to be a very awkward trip!
