Into the Crowd

Arthur looked back at the cab; it was still idling. He knew what the woman was feeling now that she was in the body of that weird cab driver. After all, getting stuck in that body was what had happened to him about three weeks ago. He thought he was going to have a choice about who to swap with, but it was almost like the cab chose for him. When she got into the cab, he just knew she’d be the one. She was so friendly and nice during the ride that he really didn’t want to steal her body, but he just couldn’t stop himself. A few short words as she left the taxi, and he swapped with her. He could only imagine how scared she felt. He wanted to tell her it would be okay, but the magic taxi wouldn’t allow that either. All he could do was try to give a knowing glance before disappearing into the crowd on the street.
