The news reports had said masks would held stop the spread of the body swap virus. They said two people catching it outdoors was virutally impossible. Well, it seemed that Evan was suffering from very bad odds when he walked passed the grocery store, swapping bodies with a woman standing outside. The worst part was they were BOTH wearing masks.
They were both required to go to a quarantine center. She offered to drive them both; Evan told the woman he’d be happy to carry her grocery bags to the car for her. As they drove, they went over their basics. Evan was attending college in the area; the woman was a mother of a 10 year old. He didn’t ask her age; he didn’t want to know how old he was now.
With not much in common, they began to talk about the groceries. The woman mentioned buying seaweed and kimchi; how much she loved these foods; and yet how unappealing they now seemed. Evan on the other hand had never had these before, yet he was finding the descriptions he was hearing mouthwatering. It began to dawn on both of them that there was much more to this body swapping virus than merely swapping bodies...
