A Bridge Too Far

Rob felt a little bit more than tricked. When Trish had used the Medallion of Zulu to swap bodies with him yesterday, she told him to relax. She explained she just wanted to try it out, and that they’d be able to swap back in twelve hours. Of course, when they met back together the next day, she told him that she had thrown the medallion off of a bridge.

Rob was shocked, but he tried not to panic. The nearest bridge wasn’t far away, and he knew Trish well enough; she had probably hadn’t made much of an effort when getting rid of it. As he walked across the bridge, he could see something that was shining when the light hit it just right. Climbing onto the side of the bridge, he knew it might be tough to make it down there, but he was sure that was the medallion. He figured the fall wasn’t tall enough to kill him, and if he got hurt, it was just Trish’s body and not his own.

Even if it was the medallion and even if he could actually get it, there was still the matter of getting Trish to swap back with him. As he made his way down he thought about all the ways he could trick her so he could get close enough to touch it to her to swap back again.
