Evacuation (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

Six months had passed since Simon’s brief visit to Exchange Island; he was still in someone else’s body. The resort explained that the emergency had been related to the swapping itself. The swapping suddenly became more aggressive. It was no longer limited to when people came or left the island; and it was no longer limited to people! Everyone had to leave immediately in order to prevent guests from being swapped with animals or trees. Simon figured he should’ve been glad nothing like that happened to him, but he was still in the wrong body! It was certainly tough explaining that to everyone he knew (Exchange Island wasn’t exactly a household name), buying an entirely new wardrobe was time consuming (though luckily he was reimbursed by the resort for the actual cost of the clothes), and just adjusting to being a woman was tough. Along with the rest of the guests, he held up hope that one day there would be a solution, but for now he could still get by.
