Less Frequent

Jared thought he had the house to himself for a whole week. His wife had just left for a business trip, and he knew exactly what he was going to do. He went up into the attic and opened the box with the medallion that was carefully wrapped inside with a yellow sweater and some jean shorts. He took a deep breath as he placed the medallion around his neck and touched the sweater to it. He then proceeded to change his clothing. The jean shorts were too tight for him, but he knew it was only a matter of moments before he could slip them on. The sweater was less of a problem to get on, but for now it was tight. It didn’t take long. About 15 minutes and Jared had an entirely different body. He had dated Soon when he was in college, back when he first found the medallion. She was the only one he had ever told about the medallion, and they often used it to swap bodies. After they broke up, he never told her that he kept one of her outfits that allowed him to transform himself into a copy of her any time he wanted. He used to do it all the time, but it became less frequent as the years passed. Now that he was in his 40s, there was still something nice about spending some time inside the body of a college-aged woman. But then he heard a noise outside. He looked to see a care outside. His wife must’ve forgotten something! He needed to hide. It’d be many more hours before he could transform back into himself. He rushed up to the attic, hoping she would think he had just gone out for a bit.
