Giving Up (Part 2)

View Part 1 of Giving Up.

It took Dan a few days, but he ultimately decided that giving up was not an option. He packed a small bag and began to walk. The body he shifted into had an elderly hunch, and he could only move at a snail’s pace. He didn’t care. He was going to make it away from this terrible place and get some answers.

Despite any language barriers, most people on his journey were friendly to an elderly woman (or at least someone who was stuck in the body of an elderly woman). People gave him rides; people pointed him in directions. A few people spoke broken English and started to explain the Great Shift to him.

Things were finally coming into place when he made it to a city. He was able to find people fluent in English and he even made it to an embassy. He was going to be flown back home. It sounded like getting his original body back wasn’t going to happen, but at least he could live his remaining years in the comfort of his own home...
