Arrivals and Departures (Part 1)

Frank was a businessman with places to be. He was cursing the fact that his plane was late. If it didn’t come soon, he’d be late for the first meeting of the conference. With a flash of light, he was suddenly sitting on a plane instead that was coming to a rough, jerky halt. Finding himself suddenly on a plane undergoing a rough landing, it took him a moment to realize the body he had was no longer his own. He wasn’t sure how he even started to notice. Maybe it was the ripped jeans instead of his suitpants. Then there was the shirt not quite long enough to cover his belly -- not to mentioned the unfamiliar anatomy beneath these clothes.

Frank was no longer concerned about being late. He was much more concerned with the fact that he was in someone else’s body! It took forever to get the plane evacuated. By the time it happened, most of the airport was cleared out. Flights were cancelled and people told to leave. The televisons were still on with news stories explaining the Great Shift -- which explained why Frank (and just about everyone else) had swapped bodies. But he had no many more questions.
