Weird New Roommate (Part 1)

When my old roommate moved out, I put up an ad online looking for a new one. I was a little surprised to only get one response, a woman named Mihn. From day one, Mihn was sort of odd. She never seemed to have a job, but was also never late on her share of the rent. She would strike up conversations without saying hello on the oddest topics.

“Would you ever want to swap bodies with someone?” She asked one day.

I shrugged. I hadn’t really thought about it.

“Let’s try it,” She said as she pulled a medallion out of her bag. She then touched it to me, and we transformed into each other! We quickly swapped our ill-fitting clothes. I was in shocked as I look at Mihn in my body while I was now in hers, wearing the turtleneck she had on a few moments before.

“What the hell?” I asked.

“Don’t worry,” She said, “It’s temporary. We can use the medallion to switch back after 12 hours. Unless you want to stay swapped for longer!”

“I don’t think I want to be you at all, but if we’re stuck like that, I guess that means we’re stuck like this. Just try not to embarass me at work...”

“Ooooh! I get to go to work! That should be fun!”

Like I said, she was weird.
