Fried

An enraged Sarah followed Max out on to the street. Max simply turned around with a rather blank expression on his face.

“I’m sorry,” He said, “I do understand your frustration, but there is very little I can do at the present time. I know you signed up to be apart of this body swap experiment and expected to be back to normal before its conclusion today. However, due to the malfunction when we attempted to swap back, we will be stuck as each other for the foreseeable future. I have ordered the replacement parts, but I am completely unable to make repairs until they arrive.”

Sarah wanted to scream more at Max, but she knew there was little he could actually do. She saw the fried equipment; she knew she was just going to have to wait. But there was just something so maddening about having a nerdy guy like Max stuck in her beautiful body while she was stuck trapped in his...

Back of the Van

Jake’s plan started off well enough. He had drugged himself yet managed to cast the body swap spell to switch bodies with Marilyn before his own body passed out. Then he managed to get his own body into the back his van, despite Marilyn’s under average strength. Then he threw a blanket on top and spent a few hours enjoying Marilyn’s life.

The problem started when he returned to the van in hopes of swapping back. The most obvious problem was that his own body had gone missing. There was no sign of it anywhere, and even the blanket was gone. If he couldn’t find his own body, he couldn’t reverse the swap. Not that he minded spending a little more time as Marilyn, but he hoped he could’ve done this whole thing without her ever realizing. Now that was already too late...

The Party

Thom was honestly shocked as he walked through the entryway of the party. He had heard weird and magical things took place at these events, but he never knew that was meant so literally. As he entered, his head was swapped onto his date’s body and vice-versa. Caroline was far less surprised. She had been to these parties before, and she knew this was just the start. These parties were only for the elite, and Caroline knew exactly what Thom had in store for him, especially now that he was the one with her body...

Excavate

Warren had been stuck in this body for 10 long years. Diane had originally used the Medallion of Zulu to swap with him because she wanted his fortune. But Warren was quite resourceful. It didn’t matter what body he had, he was able to make his ideas work, create new companies, and earn millions no matter what body he had. Of course, now that he had once again amassed another fortune, he was going to spend a pretty penny to excavate the area where Diane claimed to have dumped the Medallion. Even if it took him another ten years, he was going to find that thing and get his body back!

The Impossible Storm

As Charles stood there on the sidewalk feeling dumbfounded, he still couldn’t believe it was possible. And even if possible, having everything line up in a way that would work seemed statistically unlikely.

It had just started to rain when he pulled out his umbrella. Yet the storm came on fierce with thunder and lightning. A bolt struck his umbrella, but instead of electrocuting or killing him, the lightning must’ve also struck another person clear across town at the same time. The electrical current must’ve caused his brain to rewire itself, and he ended up swapping into this woman’s body, and presumably she was now in his.

As he stood there not quite sue what to do next, the rain let up and stopped. It was as if the storm had only existed to strike that lightning bolt and cause this body swap. Sure that seemed outlandish, but so did swapping into another person’s body!

Common Cents

Oscar knew he was an unattractive nerd; he had been his whole life. And as a man of science, he knew throwing some change into a fountain and making a wish would never work, but he still often did it. He would just toss in a penny or dime and wish he was more attractive. After dropping so much into so many fountains, he was really taken by surprise when he did so at one fountain and began reeling over in pain. He could quickly tell that his body was rearranging itself. As the pain subsided, he found that he was now indeed attractive, although certainly not in the way he would’ve expected. He was now a gorgeous blond woman in a skintight body suit. He quickly assessed that he should’ve made a more specific wish. At the very least he should’ve specified gender! Of course, with the outfit he had now, it was obvious he didn’t have more change to drop. He looked in the fountain itself, but it seemed completely clear. He was sure he just needed one penny and one more wish to fix this all, but he couldn’t find a cent around anywhere...

Don't Cry Over Spilled Potions

Victor examined the mess he had made on the floor, and he couldn’t help but feel a certain sense of dread. He could only hope that Bethany knew how to make another vial of antidote for the body swap potion they had both taken earlier. He hadn’t enjoyed his time in Bethany’s body; being a woman was just too damned uncomfortable. From the awkward heels to the tight dress, it all just felt so weird. He had only agreed to swap because Bethany had been so into the idea of making these weird magic potions that he thought he’d humor her. How was he supposed to know one would actually work anyway?

Poking and Prodding

Evan awoke feeling strange. It didn’t take long for him to realize he now had someone else’s body. He immediately went to examine himself in the mirror. He was fascinated that the beautiful blond woman in the mirror was him. He watched as the reflection mimicked his every move. He began to poke, press, and stretch every part of his new body. Even touching something as seemingly inane as his forehead seemed outlandish to him. He probably spent a good hour just poking and prodding at his new face.

Goof Offs

Tony had always considered himself a hard worker. For the past twenty years, he had been working at the loading docks, and he’d always have to yell at the other guys not to mess around. It was one of those times he caught sight of a few goofoffs actually going into one of the shipping containers. He thought it was bad enough they managed to knock the thing open, but they should’ve at least had the common sense to just lock it back up and keep it moving. But as he went to go yell at them, he caught a glimpse inside to see the men gawking at a large piece of state of the art tech. Just as he was about to shout at them, one of the men hit a button on the device. A bright light shot out of the container blinding Tony, the other men, and several other people not far away. Once Tony regained his vision, he realized he was quite far from where he had been. In fact, he was well outside the dock’s gates. And even weirder, he was now in the body of a woman! It took him a few more minutes to just absorb the situation before he decided to run back to where he had been. It was quite difficult with heels now on his feet, but it seemed many people were now gathering at the fence. It seemed that inside the container had been some sort of body swapping device, and one of his idiot co-workers had turned it on. Tony had been swapped with a passer-by, and it seemed he was one of quite a few people who had been hit. As soon as he could figure out who was who, he was ready to start yelling at people for messing around.

Radio Daze

Aaron couldn’t believe what had just happened, but he was sure there had to be something to explain it. He first tried the internet, but the connection seemed to be down. Finally, he found an old radio in the basement, and sure enough there were news reports about something called “The Great Shift.” A worldwide body swapping event would certainly explain why he was now in the body of an Asian woman. However, there didn’t seem to be any talk about how long the swap was going to last or even if they thought it would only be temporary. Aaron realized that meant he might be stuck like this forever...

Trunk

Trevor looked at his unconscious body in the truck of his car. If all went according to plan, he’d be back before his body regained consciousness. Sure, he had stolen Allison’s body, but it was all for a plan. And if the plan went well, she’d never know. She’d spend the entire time swapped into his body passed out in this trunk. But Trevor couldn’t swell on that now. He act had to act fast to make it work.

Forever

Janice awoke first after the body swap. She stood over her former body in complete shock. It got even weirder when Luke awoke. Janice watched as a big smile came across her former face.

“This is the absolute best!” Luke exclaimed, “I can’t believe that weird spell worked.”

“Okay, it did,” Janice said nervously, “I know I was skeptical, but you proved your point. The spell worked; now swap us back.”

“That’s what makes the spell even better. It’s a one-time thing. I am now you and you are now me. Forever.”

Data Loss

Professor Nelson West had perfected an equation that would enable two people to swap bodies. It seemed like science fiction, but the math was solid, and sure enough after entering he information into a device he created, he was able to swap with one of his students. Unfortunately, the computer crashed with significant data loss. Now inside the body of his own student, he needed to figure out the missing pieces of the equation. He was coming close, but he just couldn’t seem to get it. If he couldn’t figure it out again, he’d be stuck in this young woman’s body for good.

Mirror Pants

Mark was well aware of how cheesy the pick up line about mirror pants was, but when he actually saw a woman with pants so shiny he could see himself in them, he couldn’t help himself. He meant it as a joke more than anything, but she certainly didn’t take it as one. Her face turned red and she said something in a language Mark couldn’t understand. The next thing Mark realized, he had swapped bodies with the woman and now he was the one wearing the tight, shiny pants. The woman now inside Mark’s body simply smiled and ran off. Mark just stood there for a few minutes trying to get a good look at himself and letting his mind wrap around the fact he was a woman now. Then a man passed, and he heard a man say he familiar pick up line, “Are those mirror pants? Because I can see myself in them.” This was followed by another man with another pick up line, “Is your ass a cake? Because I want a piece of that.” In fact, it seemed every man that passed let off a cheesy pick up line in Mark’s direction. After a dozen or so did, Mark was annoyed, but it still just didn’t stop. It soon became maddening...

The Plot

Kevin was shocked to wake up on the morning of his wedding inside the body of his fiancee’s maid of honor. He could only assume it was weird cosmic fluke like out of a movie. But after a quick phone call to her, he soon learned it was a plot to steal the love of his life away from him. He knew he had to act fast. His wedding was in a few hours, but this body did offer a few advantages. For one, his fiancee was traditional, so she’d refuse to be seen by her soon to be husband before the wedding, and she’d be getting ready with none other than her maid of honor. This was Kevin’s window. He’d have to use that time to convince her who he really was, explain the whole plot, and come up with some sort of plan. He wiggled into the uncomfortable bridesmaid dress, ready to see his fiancee and get her to understand what had happened...

Universal Remote

When Alex got the odd remote in the mail, he found it hard to believe the instructions that were included. According to the manual, the remote could swap any aspect of any two people (personality, body, clothes, and so on) with or without their knowledge. It didn’t even seem possible, but Alex still felt curious enough to test it out. He went to the park and saw some guys playing basketball on the court while some women were taking photos of each other’s outfits not far away. He decided to use the remote to swap one of the women with one of the guys, both body and clothes but also make them completely unaware of it.

Alex’s eyes went wide as the two actually swapped places. There was now a guy snapping photos with the rest of the women while one of the women was now on the court. What was most amazing to him was that the guy on the court now with a woman’s body didn’t seem at all affected by it. He was still able to play as well as ever. He was sure the lack of a sports bra might be a problem and it didn’t even seem possible for him to run well in the long, tight skirt. Yet somehow he managed effortlessly. Alex was transfixed for so long that it was a solid hour before he even remembered that the remote was what caused this, and he realized the power to make things a lot more interesting now rested in his hands...

Tradition

“You know, they do say it’s bad luck for a husband to see his bride in her dress before the wedding,” Richard explained.

Victoria rolled her eyes as she replied, “You know I don’t buy into any of those old superstitious traditions. I needed to see how I was going to look in this dress.”

“There are plenty of mirrors.”

“I can’t use mirrors to see every single angle.”

“So you used a body swap spell?”

“What did you expect when you proposed to a witch?”

“Every day is an adventure! That’s for sure! Now can we please swap back to our own bodies?”

“Actually, could you just try on the other one for me? Please?”

“I don’t think I can even figure out how to get this one off! Let alone try to put another one on!”

Shoes

As Kyle continued to search through a seemingly endless rack of shoes, he pulled out another set of heels and threw them to the ground. His frustration suddenly turned to amusement as he laughed at his situation. He was going to be stuck in Lucille’s body for the next two weeks, and he couldn’t even find a pairs of flats among her vast collection of shoes. It seemed to defy logic and reason. Then again, the fact that he swapped bodies with her in the first place also did just that as well.

Christmas (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

Robert and Tyler sat in awkward silence for more than thirty minutes. But the longer the silence lasted, the more they both became sure the other had also been swapped. Finally, they each said the other’s name at the exact same time, and they both felt a moment of relief.

The levity didn’t last long. They may have taken comfort in the fact that they were both in the same predicament, but it was still quite a predicament. They were each stuck in the body of their own wife, and they still weren’t any closer to figuring out what their gifts would be.

Christmas

Both Robert and Tyler were interested in what their wives were going to buy them for Christmas. With no hints to go off of, the two friends got desperate. They turned to a spell they found on the internet that would supposedly let them find out someone else’s secrets. They both decided to target their respective wives. The spell did not go as planned.

After casting it, each man found himself at the mall, sitting on the bench, and inside the body of their own wife. For the first few minutes of being swapped, they both just sat there in shock. And even though both were swapped, neither was sure that they weren’t the only ones. They both kept thinking of a way to ask that wouldn’t be strange.

Wizardry

“Do you have any idea what page you read from, Mom?” Harvey asked, “Honestly, I leave one book out from my wizardry college and you just happen to read a body swap spell. Now I’ve got to dig through thousands of pages to find the reversal, because I don’t want to be spending too much time in your body.”

Harvey’s mom tried to hide her smile. There was something humorous to her about seeing her son struggle with aspects of her body.

“I get that you think it’s funny to see me stumbling around in your heels, and I’m not exactly comfortable in the rest of your clothes either. But your glasses keep sliding off your nose, which is making it difficult to read this book, so if you could stop laughing and start helping, I’d really appreciate it.”

Drowning

“Help! Help!” Jack screamed once he realized he was drowning in the lake. It didn’t make any sense. He was such an excellent swimmer, but suddenly he had just felt so disoriented.

“Help” He screamed one more time, expecting his lungs to fill with water any second. Instead, he found himself continuing to breathe air. In fact, he was no longer in the water at all but standing on the shore instead. He was confused, and when he looked down it only got worse. He realized the body he now saw wasn’t his own.

Soon enough, a person came along to investigate Jack’s earlier cries for help, and asked Jack what was wrong.

“I guess I’m drowning,” Jack replied, “Or my body is drowning. It’s over there in the lake.

“You’re drowning?” The person asked.

“I was. I’m not...me. Not anymore, I guess. I really don’t know what’s going on...”

Bad Trip (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

It took Nick a while to accept that he had really swapped bodies with someone else. For almost a week, he kept expecting the trip to end and he’d be back in the warehouse. However, once he came to terms with the fact that the Great Shift was reality, he tried not to let his new body get int he way of his lifestyle. He still loved going to raves in odd warehouses or out in the dessert. It also didn’t take long for Nick to make sure his new body’s outfits matched his own sense of style, much to the chagrin of his new body’s original owner and her husband. None of their criticism mattered much to him, however. He just wanted to continue being himself.

Bad Trip

It wasn’t uncommon for Nick to go to a warehouse party and not leave until the sun came up the next morning. Getting down to the electronic music and doing plenty of drugs just made the time slip by. But it was on one of these morning, he was starting to think he was having a bad trip. It was as if he wasn’t at the warehouse at all. It felt like he was instead on a quiet deck outside a house, sipping on some sort of green juice. Even stranger, he was hallucinating that his body was some sort of young suburban mom or something. But the odd thing was that he no longer felt high, nor could he hear or feel the music. It would take him a while to realize that this wasn’t a trip at all; he had actually swapped bodies with a suburban mom because of The Great Shift.

Store Display

Brad would often walk by the store display at night on his way home from work. He usually didn’t give much notice to the mannequins behind the glass of the closed shop, but today he stopped. For just a moment, he swore he saw one of the mannequins move. He was sure he was seeing things, so he decided to be on his way, but he was frozen in place. He couldn’t move. His body had tensed up. He was sure that his skin was starting to look like plastic just before his vision went dark.

It cleared a few moments later, but he realized he was now on the other side of the glass. His skin seemed fleshy again, and he could move. He looked outside to where he had been to see a male mannequin standing there wearing the clothes he had been wearing. Then he looked down a yellow dress he had seen in the window. It seemed impossible, but he somehow switched places with one of the mannequins -- except he was a real woman while his own body was now lifeless plastic. He realized he’d have to wait until morning when they unlocked the store. He had no idea how he was going to explain how he got in here to anyone, but he had all night to think of a good excuse. Surely no one would buy the truth!

Disappearance

Tony couldn’t help but think it strange when his best friend Dave suddenly seemed to disappear off the face of the Earth. Dave no longer showed up to work, didn’t return texts, or even answer his phone. It wasn’t until nearly two months later when Tony got a strange text from an unknown number claiming to be from Dave, asking to be picked up. When Tony arrived, instead of Dave, he saw a blond woman waiting.

The woman flagged down Tony and tried to explain quickly. “I know it’s hard to believe,” The woman said, “But it’s me. It’s Dave. About eight weeks ago, I hailed this cab, but it was this weird body swapping cab. I ended up as the driver for a while until I picked up this woman, and then I became her.”

Tony was pretty sure this woman was crazy. Body swapping taxis? Yeah, right! He thought she might even be a murderer or something. But with Dave’s disappearance, he was going to at least listen to what she had to say.

Jason was quite relieved when he learned about the Great Shift and how almost everyone in the world had swapped bodies with someone else. He also settled into his new body quite well, finding just about any excuse to utilize his new flexibility. His wife, however, found it quite obnoxious to see him doing the most ordinary tasks like flipping through a magazine by bending over backwards and flipping the pages with his feet. She wondered if he was showing off or rubbing it in, since she had found herself in a body with aching joints. For the most part, Jason was still just amazed at what he could do. It was more like a weird addiction and he just never wanted to stop.

Aside from bending his new body in all sorts of fun ways, Jason grabbed a mirror and began looking at himself. His next thought was that not only was his new body flexible, but it was also gorgeous! He grabbed a tube of lipstick, thinking that he’d have to learn this sort of thing sooner instead of later.

But if he had a new body now, he couldn’t be the only one. How many in the world were swapped? And since he was a woman now, what would his wife think? There was a lot to ponder, but for now, Jason was just going to enjoy it.

Flexible (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

Jason managed to get himself into an upright position, but the way he had found himself swapped into this body quickly gave him an idea. He quickly decided to bend his body in ways he wouldn’t dream possible for any human being, but he was more amazed that he was the one able to bend like this. He wasn’t sure what had caused him to swap into this body, but it seemed like he would be able to have a lot of fun.

Flexible (Part 1)

In the wake of the Great Shift, Jason’s eyes slowly blurred back into focus after being blinded by the bright light. He was a little surprised to see two feet right in front of his face. What quickly became even more surprising was that those feet were attached to his body. Those feet just didn’t make any sense. The fact that they were in heels seemed absurd. The fact that they were feminine was shocking. And their location seemed practically impossible. Yet the reality soon sunk in. Jason now had not only the body of a woman, but a very flexible one!
