“Can you fix it?” Minh asked nervously as she clutched her hands together.
“I think so,” Jonathan explained as he replaced one of the vacuum tubes, “But I never expected this thing to be able to swap people’s bodies! And it was surely an accident that you were involved in this at all! You were jogging by outside at what I guess was simply the wrong time. We’re both just lucky I had spare parts.”
However, when Jonathan flicked the switch to turn his machine on and off -- nothing happened, or so he thought. He flicked it on and off several times, wondering why it didn’t swap him and Minh back to their own bodies. Of course, the various neighbors he was swapping with each flick of the switch were far less pleased with his careless attempts to get back.
