Emmanuel was working as a security guard downtown when the Great Shift happened. Much like everyone else, he found himself in a completely different body. So instead of being in the lobby scanning people for metal and whatnot, he was now sitting in a cubicle in the body of someone who was quite a bit younger than he had been and most certainly female.
A few minutes passed and an announcement was made that everyone was being sent home due to the Shift. Emmanuel looked at the high heels on his feet and was worried. He began to open the drawers of the desk in the cubicle and breathed a huge sigh of relief to find a pair of sneakers that fit his now dainty feet.
As he walked out of the building, he noted that he was about ten blocks from where he worked as a security guard. He also opened the purse he had found to discover keys and an ID. He resolved that the quick walk to this woman’s apartment (which he had the keys for) was a better idea than taking the subway all the way back to his own place (which, in this body, he no longer had the keys for), and he began to wonder how much of this woman’s life he was allowed to assume for himself.
