Unchartered

Nigel Brooks had planned his trip to Exchange Island perfectly to ensure an optimal result. The 80-year-old billionaire chartered a personal flight with only a handful of young professionals just out of college, all of them handsome, fit young men. It would ensure he would swap with one for the entirety of this expedition. But after he arrived, instead of swapping with one of the men as planned, he found himself on the beach with dried salt in tangled hair and holes in tattered jeans. The most shocking aspect of it all was that he was a woman! He could only presume that she was in some sort of boating accident off the coast at around the same time his plane had landed.

Well, this wasn’t what Nigel had signed up for at all! He stormed to the front desk of the resort, demanding a different swap. The staff were helpful, but they explained it didn’t matter how this other person came to the island; they couldn’t control the swaps. They offered Nigel some clothes and insisted  he take one of the nicest rooms. Nigel was furious. He talked about how much money he paid to be a young man again for a time. The last thing he wanted was to be a woman! He began to cry.
