Contract

“Honestly, Jane, I’m not sure what you’re complaining about,” Walter said as he enjoyed his dinner, “Do you not enjoy your five million dollars? Are you having trouble spending it all?”

“It’s not that,” Jane whined, “I miss my body. I want it back.”

“I’m afraid that’s quite impossible. You signed the contract. You deposited the money. So we swapped bodies per the arrangement. Legally, your body is mine now. I understand you may not like being old -- I certainly didn’t enjoy it myself -- but that is precisely the reason I paid such a premium to swap with a young person. You should learn to take the fullest advantage of what I’ve paid you and live your final years to their fullest.”

Jane frowned. She regretted taking the money to swap bodies with Walter. She thought money would be the solution to all her problems. But she missed being young and being a woman. However, it didn’t seem like she could say anything to convince Walter to swap back with her.
