Vacations Are Supposed to Be Relaxing


“Most people find vacations relaxing, Miss Lee,” The therapist told the woman sitting in his office, “What made this recent one so stressful for you?”

The woman took a deep breath before her answer, “Most people don’t vacation on Exchange Island where people swap bodies. And even most people who go there end up getting their bodies back after it’s over. And for the past month since I’ve been back, I’ve been trying to live the life of this woman that I know almost nothing about. Also, could you please call me Steve instead of Miss Lee or Claire or whatever? No one has called me Steve since this happened. It’d make me feel more....normal. I know you are looking at me like I’m crazy.”

“I am not calling you crazy, but body swapping does seem like something out of fiction, does it not?”

“That’s what I thought to until I took up my friend’s dare to actually go there. And if you don’t believe me, that’s what I suggest you do. Go there. You won’t think it’s fiction once you experience it for yourself. Just hope you don’t get stuck in someone else’s body like I did.”
