Thom sat nervously on the park bench, the last 90 or so minutes still swirling about in his head. He was just walking in the park when a woman aimed a gun at him. But instead of firing a bullet, it hit him with some weird beam. In an instant, he quickly transformed into her as she became him. He watched his own body run away.
What he hadn’t noticed before this were the police, who were in hot pursuit. They had seen what happened and pointed guns at Thom’s former body. These guns did fire bullets, and Thom turned away and listened in horror as his former body died.
The police were apologetic as they explained everything to Thom. The person had some sort of body swapping gun and had been causing chaos all over town. The police had no success in de-escalation, which resulted in the fire fight. They also had no idea how the body swapping gun worked or if they would ever be able to restore anyone to their original bodies. Of course, with Thom’s body dead, any body he’d return to would certainly not be his own -- that is, if he’d even be able to swap at all.
