My girlfriend, Mei, and I were on a walk when we were blinded by a flash of light. When I turned to look to see if Mei was alright, all that was left was a pile of clothes where she once was. Except I soon realized the clothes were mine, and I had somehow become my own girlfriend! I had gone from being a 6 foot tall white guy to a 5 foot tall Asian woman.
It seemed like something out of a comic book movie, except half of the population didn’t just blip away. The half whose bodies disappeared ended up inhabited the bodies of those who remained -- hence how I became my own girlfriend. My story was fairly simple; I just gathered up my clothes and returned to the apartment she and I shared. Maybe it was something about having her hormones or maybe I was just truly sad, but I found myself crying for days. I knew other people had it worse; I saw it on the news. There were plane crashed and nuclear accidents. I knew my situation was relatively fine, but I was still sad. I was sad my girlfriend was gone, yet I’d be reminded of that every second for the rest of my life...
I like that twist on the Great Shift, mixing it with the Blip concept. While it creates chaos, not as bad in a way as the normal Shift.
