At the Mall

Originally posted on June 8, 2016.

Joe realized he probably should’ve made better small talk with this woman while she was in the cab. All he knew was that she had asked to go to the mall; he didn’t know why. Now, thanks to the magic of the taxi he had been driving, he was now her...in her body at the mall. The same thing happened to him a few weeks back, when the former driver had stolen his body. Of course, he had been taking the cab home at the time; it was probably easy for the person who ended up in his body. But now Joe was in this body, at the mall for some reason. She likely needed something; he didn’t know what. Then he would need to find his way home. He certainly had no idea where she lived. Things might actually get a little tougher as time went on...

Like Before

Tim watched his brother Dave sit down in front of the TV and play video games. He knew it had been hard for Dave since the accident. Sure, the doctors saved his brother’s life after the car crash, but they did it by transplanting his brain into the body of a 40 year old mother of two. It was an experimental procedure that everyone was legally required to keep quiet about. That meant Dave ha to mostly continue to act like the woman he appeared to be. It was only on some days when her husband was at work and her two kids at school that he was able to check in with Tim and other members of his original family. And most days he did that were much like today. He didn’t say much; he just tried to do something he had enjoyed before the accident.

New Stomach

Originally posted on April 7, 2018.

A few weeks ago, Colin found himself in the body of a beautiful woman thanks to the Great Shift. He didn’t quite see a reason to act in any different way just because he had a new body, so once his favorite restaurant was open again, he decided to pig out on his favorite burger. He took a bite and was a little disappointed. He realized it must be because his taste buds were now different.

He still ate as much as he could.

However, he did notice that he got filled up faster. It was all so weird to him, but he guessed it made sense. New body, new taste buds, and a new stomach...

Desolate

Earl had been driving on the desolate road for miles without seeing another building or person when he saw her. He thought about stopping, but he knew picking up a hitchhiker was a bad idea. In hindsight, he wished he had stopped. As he continued to drive, an odd feeling came over him. Suddenly, he was now standing on the side of the road, watching his old truck drive off far into the distance. He looked down, recognizing the body as the woman he had just seen trying to hitchhike. Now he was the one standing on the side of the road, waiting for the next car to come around -- which he guessed would likely be quite a long time. In the interim, he was stuck out here with a very unfamiliar body!

About to Get Some Bad News

Leo remembered being younger. Thirty or so years ago flying was the only option for traveling long distances. But you waited in hour long security lines for a flight that itself could take several more hours. Now it was possible to travel around the globe in a matter of a few minutes thanks to bodyporting. Granted, it had its own drawbacks. Since only one’s brain was teleported to the new location, you’d be spending your trip in the body of someone else. Leo certainly didn’t mind this aspect. In fact, it wasn’t uncommon for him to find himself in a body much younger than his own -- for instance, he couldn’t imagine the body he swapped with this time was any older than 25. You depending on them to pack their bags in accordance with your prior requests. Leo had instructed the person he swapped with to pack casual clothes, which she obliged with. Then there was the return trip. In order to swap back to your own body, you needed to visit a bodyporting hub. This depended on the person temporarily in your body also showing up on time. It was always possible for someone to be late. In this case, Leo had been waiting for quite a long time. It was even a more infrequent occurrence when your original body didn’t show and any attempts to get in touch were met with silence. Leo was about to be given that news any second now, and that he’d be stuck in this woman’s body until further notice...

Beg to Differ

It wasn’t that long ago when Harold wouldn’t give a second look to dresses in a store, but that was before the Great Shift. Even though numerous scientists had gone on the news to explain that the body swapping phenomenon effected “external appearances only,” Harold felt like it had changed him on the inside as well. Now that he had a woman’s body, things like dresses and makeup were actually interesting to him. He found himself spending hours in a shoe store the other day; before the Shift, the longest he ever spent shopping for shoes was about 15 minutes. Scientists could say the Great Shift didn’t affect the way someone REALLY was on the inside, but Harold would beg to differ! He was now a woman on the outside AND on the inside.

After the Great Shift, Josh was a little worried. He was going to have to adapt to his new female body. He didn’t expect it to be easy. However, after throwing on some feminine clothes and putting on a bit too much makeup, he ventured out into the world for the firs time since the Shift, he didn’t feel awkward at all. In fact, if anything, he felt a strange sense of confidence, more than he ever remembered having before the Shift. Maybe he just wanted to put on a brave face as he adjusted or maybe this new body was something that truly made him happy. He wasn’t sure, but he liked what he was feeling as he walked down the street!

Memories

It had only been about an hour since John visited a website that changed him from male to female. It was a fun time, but he intended to return to the site in order to change back. But he suddenly blanked on the address. He soon realized there were other things he couldn’t remember...like his own name. What was it? Jen? Jen didn’t seem right. He had been a man, after all, until just a little bit ago, and what man is named Jen? He knew he cared about the baseball game on TV tonight, but he couldn’t seem to recall what time it started or what channel it was on. New thoughts seemed to replace these missing ones. He recalled that he needed to go buy makeup, and he instantly knew exactly what shade he needed, for instance.

Swap Night

The invention of the body swapper changed so much about the world. It became common for clubs to have Swap Nights, where everyone in the club would swap bodies randomly at a set time. It wasn’t uncommon for people to sneak out with their new bodies before swapping back. Gordon was pretty sure that’s what happened to him tonight. He couldn’t find his own body anywhere around. Not that he particularly cared since he was certainly enjoying the body of the woman he ended up in tonight. And his body had been stolen at previous Swap Nights; it usually turned up several days later at most. That just meant he could enjoy this body in the meantime, and he was certainly planning on enjoying it to its fullest extent.

After a week, Tim returned to the hospital for a few tests and a short interview with the researchers.

“It’s been quite uneventful so far,” He lied to the doctor interviewing him. In reality, he had called up his girlfriend and told her everything. Then they proceeded to sleep together. It was the first time since swapping with Dr. Saito that he actually appreciated being in a woman’s body. And it was also the first time his girlfriend didn’t mind being stuck in the body of Tim’s father either.

When the researchers told Tim he would need to spend a little more time in Dr. Saito’s body in order for them to gather more data, he honestly didn’t mind. He just thought about calling his girlfriend for some more fun...

1950s Look

Eugene didn't much like being stuck in his granddaughter's body after the Great Shift, but he knew there was little he could do to change that. However, he could change the way that she dressed! He always thought that his 20-year old granddaughter had dressed too provocatively. Now in her body, he decided he could cloth her body in a style from his own youth. However, even with the masses shifted, the 1950s look was totally strange.../p>

A frustrated Thomas sighed as he put his hand on his hip, pleading with his wife, "You said you wanted to try this weird bodyswapping experiment, which I reluctantly agreed to, but you promised it would only be for an hour. I've been a good sport, letting you keep my body a little longer; I've been in your body now for three hours. Can we please change back now?"

"Just fifteen more minutes," Thomas's wife, Janice, coaxed, “I like being tall!”

He sighed once more, "Okay, but not a minute more!"

Star Quarterback

The Great Shift was surely going to ruin the team's undefeated season. Though because the football team practiced in isolation, many players merely swapped with other players, there were a few exceptions. One linebacker swapped with the fifty year old coach, but the team's star quarterback shifted with a woman walking just outside. He made it back to the field as quickly as possible, but everyone's hearts sank when the woman explained who she was...

Youth Was Wasted on the Young

Roger hadn't felt this young in years. Actually, he hadn't even BEEN this young in years. He had to thank the Great Shift for his new, youthful body. Before it happened, he had been a cranky, tired, and old man, who was barely able to move his joints. Now he was a young, carefree woman, who was full of energy. The first thing he did was take a run on the beach. He had forgotten how well youth felt. It was true what they say. Youth really is wasted on the young...or at least it used to be!

A Few More Hours

Jamie couldn't believe he was doing this. He was putting on his younger sister's shoes about to go to her college classes for the day all because he had ended up in her body thanks to some strange magic medallion. She confessed using the medallion in the past to swap bodies with her boyfriend, and that they wouldn't be able to swap back for a few more hours--Jamie would have to go to class for her and they could swap back after. His sister wasn't telling the total truth--in fact, it wasn't his sister now in his body at all--it was her boyfriend. She had stolen her boyfriend's body long ago, and now he was desperate to get back to a man's body, so he stole Jamie's. When he'd return from class, he'd pretend like he lost the medallion, leaving him in Jamie's body for good, and Jamie would be stuck as his own sister.

First Swap

Originally posted on December 31, 2009.

In the old days, bodyswapping machines were large, unwieldy inventions. The first time Mr. and Mrs. Stewart swapped bodies, Mrs. Stewart (then known as Miss Harrison) was so overwhelmed by the feeling of her new male body that she had to hold onto the machine or support. Mr. Stewart simply folded his arms over his chest with an upset look; he didn't quite like the feeling of breasts on his chest. Thirty years later, the couple had been married for twenty five years, but they still loved swapping into each other's bodies...especially with the new invention of a handheld bodyswapper! Though now it was often Mrs. Stewart who folding her arms in a pouting manner; while she still enjoyed being in her husband’s body, she did miss her own chest.

For the next few days, Tim tried his best to adjust to being in Dr. Saito’s body. The supervisors in charge of the experiment had given him access to her apartment and a significant spending account. Tim inspected her wardrobe and it mostly matched Dr. Saito’s body -- amazingly unremarkable. It was filled with khaki pants, sweaters, and just mostly boring items. He couldn’t help but think the whole experience of being a woman might be a little more thrilling if he swapped with someone who was a little more interesting. As he took a short walk to clear his head, he thought about going to the mall to spice up his look. Then he thought about calling his girlfriend to tell him what he had undergone for her. He had given up everything to try to help her with her own problem. The doctors had told him not to contact anyone, but what harm would it do? After all, he already knew his girlfriend had swapped bodies with his father; how would it be any different if she knew he had swapped bodies with Dr. Saito?

The Hotel

Originally posted on January 12, 2011.

In the strange hotel, two different people collapsed at the exact same time. Derek had been walking behind a woman on the second floor and he felt humiliated when he felt himself passing out. Jennifer was returning from a night of heavy drinking. She wasn’t surprised when she suddenly fell, but she was certainly surprised when she started to get up--now she was inside of Derek’s very sober body! Meanwhile, Derek found himself in Jennifer’s body, finding in hard to even move in her drunken state. Both could barely grasp what had happened to them; all they knew was that they were no longer themselves! Little did they know, it was all the doing of the hotel they were staying in. Each and every night two of the guests would find themselves with their bodies swapped. Derek and Jennifer were not the first victims of the hotel’s strange powers, and they wouldn’t be the last either.

Heavy Metal

Originally posted on May 24, 2010.

Jason would've never guessed his life would ever be like this, but the Great Shift really did change everything. Before the shift, he was a tough hardcore heavy metal fan. No one would dare cross the hulky guy, and when the Shift plopped him into the body of a woman he was devastated. However, he adapted quicker to his new body than a lot of his other male friends. It wasn't long before he found himself dating! He got involved with Julie, a woman who had been shifted into the body of a man. Both couldn't have been happier, and despite their new bodies, Julie still acted fairly feminine, carrying a purse around. Jason still loved heavy metal.

Nerdy to Hottie

Originally posted on May 26, 2010.

It felt weird writing directions for his own house to give to his own body. Martin had been an unpopular nerd his whole life, so he didn't have guests over often. Of course, thanks to the Great Shift he had swapped bodies with an attractive woman, and he had to coordinate with her about switching clothes. He felt bad that she now had his dumpy-looking nerdy body, but he guessed that was the way the dice rolled. Then again, it wasn't like he was looking forward to his new life either. The heels had been pinching his feet, and he knew that he'd have a monthly visitor. This wasn't good for either of them.

Scream

Buying Online

Originally posted on November 14, 2019.

Alex could remember being young and buying stuff off the internet. You often didn’t know quite what to expect. Things didn’t look like the picture or something might be larger or smaller than it appeared in the pictures. When body swapping technology started to be offered online, it was kind of like that.

So when Alex agreed on his first online swap, he was a little apprehensive. He knew he might not quite get the image he saw on the screen. Still, he was excited enough about the idea of being a woman that he didn’t hesitate. When the program took effect, he was zapped into the body of a woman in a different part of the world.

Much to his surprise, he actually looked almost exactly like her picture...from the waist up. The only awkward thing was how big her hips and butt were! She must have taken her pictures from a certain angle...or maybe he didn’t even ever see a full body shot. This was something he would have to remember next time. This swap was just for this weekend...as an experiment. But he wanted to try something longer. Though he certainly wasn’t unhappy with this body, he was still aiming for the perfect picture in his head...

The past 24 hours had been absolutely crazy. Tim and his family had gotten in a car crash, and in order to save the lives of his dad and his girlfriend, the doctors had to perform an experimental procedure that switched their bodies. Then the doctors approached him about undergoing the procedure with one of their colleagues in order to gather more data on uninjured brains in hopes it would help them reverse the swap between Tim’s dad and girlfriend. The thought of helping his girlfriend out of a horrible situation caused Tim to agree immediately. And within a few hours, he was now inside the body of Doctor Ayumi Saito, a 40 year old Asian woman. As he stepped out into the hallway, he was really regretting this decision. He was 20 years older and a woman! And the timeline was fairly open ended -- supposedly until they got enough “data.” He just told himself that helping his girlfriend and his father would make this all worth it in the end...

Shipwreck

It was in the 90s when Jim made a ton of money off the dotcom bubble. It was easy for him to retire early and sail around the world on his yacht with his beautiful girlfriend. Unfortunately, while in the middle of the ocean, they hit a reef. Jim was sure he could fix it if they were on land; luckily, they spied an uncharted island in the distance. However, as they approached, things got weird. Quite unexpectantly, Jim and his girlfriend ended up swapping bodies. It was more than disorienting for Jim, and it inhibited his ability to repair the boat. His girlfriend’s body wasn’t strong enough to lift a lot of the materials, so he had to bark orders at her as she did the work.

A few days passed before they were able to fix the yacht up well enough to leave the island. After they got a safe enough distance off, they swapped back to their own bodies. Out of curiosity, Jim turned the boat back toward the island. When they got close enough, they swapped again. It seemed crazy, but there was only one possible conclusion, something about the island swapped people’s bodies. Jim thought about what he could do. He could build a one-of-a-kind resort. It might be hard to convince construction workers to build something here, but he was sure he could charge people a lot of money for a vacation where they literally spent time off as someone else. He jotted down the coordinates, eager to return to the place he and his girlfriend had called “Exchange Island.”

“So, are you saying you think you can do my job, but I can’t do yours?”

“Gavin, come on, you work in a warehouse. All you need to do your job are muscles. And right now your muscles are mine. I’m a lawyer! I had to go to law school for years, pass the bar...”

“My job’s not as easy as you think!”

“Okay, okay...” Victoria sighed, not wanting to get caught up on petty things.

When do they tend to pop up the most? Well, at times when I would encourage you to throw a little support my way. I'm trying new things with video and such that just aren't exactly cheap.

"That ride looks stupid," My girlfriend Audrey said looking at the new attraction at the amusement park called 'The Switcher.'

"Come on," I protested, "It's gotta be good! Look at how long the line is!"

She rolled her eyes, "You can ride; I'm going to get some cotton candy. But I'm telling you, there's nothing to it. People scream their heads off like it's some sort of insane thrill ride, but they just sit there for three minutes completely motionless. It's lame."

Truth be told, it was this seeming contradiction that had me fascinated along with people exiting the ride calling it "life changing" and "intense." I let Audrey go off while I waited alone in line. It was long, but it moved fairly quickly. I noted Audrey had returned with her cotton candy, and so I offered to let her join me at the front of the line. She refused, and I went solo into one of the ride's plastic seats. An attendant strapped me in and a safety announcement played.

Audrey was technically right; the ride didn't move in the slightest. I couldn't quite explain what it did; it felt like my soul was ripped from my body moving at high speed to the right. There was a quick pause, barely enough time to catch your breath but just enough time to scream. Then you'd be shot back to the left, even faster this time. It wasn't until the end when it slowed down some when I could figure out what was going on. It wasn't moving your body with physics like most rides, it was moving your essense from body to body with pure energy somehow. I could feel each new body I was in as the ride slowed down: A middle aged man with a big gut, a mother next to her child, and then back to my original male body. Only it didn't quite stop there. With one final lurch, it swapped me once more out of my body and into the body of a woman around my age wearing a pink dress who had gone on with her two friends.

As we were instructed to leave, I objected. I was in the wrong body! The ride operator just shrugged, saying it happened sometime.

Audrey was a little surprised when my body walked right by her. She was even more shocked when I approached and told her what happened and what the ride did. I expected her to be mad or scold me, considering her boyfriend was now a woman. Instead, she just started laughing.

Comfortable

People did their best to adapt to the results of the Great Shift in different ways. When Patrick first found himself inside the body of a woman, he tried to embrace his new feminine side by wearing dresses, heels, makeup, the whole nine yards.

It didn’t last long.

Eventually Patrick decided there was no real need to keep up the facade. He cut his hair short and often just put on an old t-shirt and shorts. After all, he was actually still a man, despite what body he may be in now. In all honesty, it was a lot more comfortable. He didn’t really mind being a woman if he didn’t actually have to act like a woman. And it seemed others were fine with it. In fact, one of the results of the Great Shift was that people were a lot more accepting about personal decisions.

Hot Tub Gender Changing Machine

Right after getting the hot tub in his backyard fixed, James was pretty eager to jump in. He took a few minutes to just sit back and relax. He hopped out shortly after, but he no longer felt relaxed. He looked down shocked; his body had completely changed. Instead of being a man, he was now a woman. The guy that repaired his hot tub must’ve turned it into some sort of hot tub gender changing machine. He thought about jumping right back in, but he realized it might be fun to spend a bit of time as a woman. After all, when would he ever get this opportunity ever again? It felt a little strange, but not nearly as much as he expected. He decided he’d spend the day like this and return to his hot tub in 24 hours.

Brat Zap

Ethan had just left the mall and entered the parking lot to get back to his car when a kid pointed what looked like a toy gun at him. He thought it was cute and let out a chuckle, but when the kid zapped the gun, Ethan was surprised by the effects. The thing was some sort of weird body swapping gun! The kid just kept zapping Ethan, swapping him into all sorts of different bodies and surely mixing up everyone in the parking lot. Ethan finally managed to slip away and hide behind a car while he was in the body of a hot Hispanic woman. After a bit of consideration, he decided his best course of action was to slip away with this borrowed body. He really couldn’t imagine that brat zapping him back to his own body, and he decided this was about as good as it could possibly get!

Early

Jeffrey wasn’t quite sure why he woke up each morning at 5AM to jog around Exchange Island. After all, he was only in this body temporarily; he had no reason to maintain its great shape for the brief time he’d have it. Still, he had woken up early every day this week for a run, and he planned to do it every day until he left. As he paused to watch the amazing sunrise, he realized why he did it. He did simply because in this body he was able to do it. This body was in such great shape that he was able to run for miles without getting winded or tired. He probably ran to plenty of places on this island that few ever got to explore with their borrowed bodies. It would be a shame when he had to leave this beautiful scenery when his vacation was over; it’d be an even bigger shame that he’d have to give up this beautiful body.

Sister

Originally posted on May 22, 2016.

Oliver sighed. It had been a few days now since he swapped bodies with his sister. He kept trying to think about what the worst part of being swapped was. He certainly hated having to wear her clothes. The only thing of his own he was able to get away with wearing were his favorite band t-shirts. They still fit (although a little loose), but nothing else really did. That meant he had to wear his sister’s clothes. Just about everything she own was a little weird, crazy, sexy, or all of the above. And speaking of sexy, he realized it may have been easier if his sister wasn’t quite as attractive as she was. It wasn’t just strangers making comments on the streets, but also his own friends -- fully aware of who he really was -- making an inappropriate comment from time to time. He was really getting impatient. He hoped they’d be able to swap back soon. He wasn’t sure he’d be able to deal with this much longer. And, of course, if he did stay in her body much longer, there’d be another part of being a woman coming up that he’d definitely NOT enjoy.

He pulled out a comb, a mirror, and makeup. He inspected each element, but it all looked like pretty normal stuff. Then he found a wallet in there, but looking at the ID inside, it wasn’t Annette’s. The person in this photo was this body -- the body he was currently in. He looked at the name, Connie. It was a start, but he kept digging for more information. He wanted more information about who he was now. He guessed he would just have to learn as he went...

All-Too-Predictable

When Bryan was given the Medallion of Zulu, he had been warned. He had been told that it simply wanted to be lost. Once it transformed someone, it would find a way to disappear. Bryan dismissed the rumors and was merely excited to be in the possession of such a legendary artifact. He doubted that it could even morph someone's body, but one day curiosity got the better of him. He placed it around his neck and touched a piece of his girlfriend's clothing to it. Sure enough, the next thing he knew, he was her exact double. He put on some of her clothes now that his no longer fit, and in an almost all-too-predictable fashion, he couldn't seem to find the medallion after changing. He got down on his hands and knees to search the area, thinking he dropped it, and it couldn't have gone far. He should have listened to the warnings.

Thinking the Same Thing

Fiona looked at the couch where her boyfriend and four of his friends sat. She hadn’t intended to do this to them. He had invited them over, and they were just acting like guys do. Being messy, rude, and belching. She was getting frustrated and just wished they understood her better. That’s when they all began to transform -- into copies of her! Their old male clothes were practically falling off, so she let them borrow some of hers. She used some of her brightest colored tights -- hoping it would be a way to easily help distinguish who was who, but she quickly lost track anyway. Then she sat them down on the couch. She didn’t know quite what to say. Then she noticed none of them did either. They weren’t belching or being messy. And as the minutes passed, they began to hold themselves in more ladylike ways; they crossed their legs and sat up straight. Silence lingered, and Fiona suddenly felt a tingle of fear. She looked at the five former men on the couch. They were all looking and acting like her now. She was hoping for one of their rude male gestured, to confirm who they really were. What if they all thought they were the real Fiona now? And if she thought that as well, how did she even know who she really was? What if she had been a former guy too just now with all those thoughts replaced? She couldn’t help think as she stared into all their eyes that everyone was thinking the same thing.

Jogged

Henry stopped in his tracks. It was in part because he was out of breath and also in part because he was in a state of pure disbelief. He had swapped bodies with the woman he passed jogging each and every day. He didn’t even know her name, and now he WAS her! He had spoken only a single word to her ever, and now he WAS her! This was unreal! He turned around to see that his own body hadn’t paused as well; it just kept running. Was she even aware of the swap? Were there now two copies of him running around? One in this body and one in his original body? This was all just so much to take in!

The Black Van

Jared had just been walking down the street when the black van pulled up. Two figured abducted him and pulled him inside. He was freaked out as they injected him with something. Before passing out, he saw a woman’s body hooked up to various electrodes. He awoke to see his own body now lying there in the van with various electrodes hooked up to it. At first, he thought he had died and was looking at himself through some out-of-body experience. That is, until he realized he was now in the woman’s body he had seen earlier. The two people quickly pushed him out of the van and drove off in search of someone new to place inside of Jared’s body. Though it might take some getting used to, Jared realized he certainly didn’t mind having this woman’s body!

Couldn't Be THAT Bad

Originally posted on June 2, 2020.

Jack realized he was pretty fortunate to have swapped bodies with Wendy as a result of the Great Shift. For starters, she was also in his body, and they were also pretty good friends. She gave him a rundown of some things and joked that he might be unprepared when it came to picking out shoes, since she owed a lot. He rolled his eyes; it couldn’t be THAT bad, could it?

A few hours later, he arrived at Wendy’s house. Well, she was right about the shoes. He laughed as he opened up a second closet to discover it was even worse than what she described. He wondered how it was even possible to own this many shoes, and if it even mattered. Some of the differences between pairs were so insignificant.

He ended up picking out a pair of red heels to wear.

Plan (Part 1)

Victoria gasped when he realized what happened; Gavin screamed. The young couple couldn’t believe that they had swapped bodies with each other. They had been dating for a few months, and had only very recently moved in together. It had felt like a pretty big step, and it had brought them both closer to each other. But feeling close was one thing; swapping bodies was on a whole other level.

“But I -- what -- how?” Gavin was struggling to come up with words to express just how shocked he was.

“I dont know. I don’t know.” Victoria repeated, “But we need a plan. No one is going to believe us if we just start telling people that we switched bodies.”

“Okay, okay,” Gavin breathed, “Plan. Yes.”

Tell It To Me Straight

"Tell it to me straight, Doc," John said, "Is that fancy medicine of yours going to turn me back into a man again? Ever since this damned transformation virus changed me into a woman, I've just not been happy. I know that treatment there is experimental, but I sure hope it can turn me back into a man."

Unexplainable

David had been walking on an isolated beach when he suddenly collapsed. When he awoke several hours later, his body had undergone substantial changes. He went from being a middle aged white male with a receding hair line to a young, sexy asian woman. Even his clothes had changed! This was totally unexplainable! He tired to lift himself with the aid of some nearby rocks and was surprised by how different his body felt. He could certainly feel the fact that his new frame was much lighter and younger. He felt more spry and energetic, but he also felt vulnerable and strange. Then again, he supposed a lot of that might just because he was an entirely new person!

Sulked

Derek sulked. This night didn't end up going nearly as well as he hoped, despite starting off with such promise. He had been at a bar when a really hot woman asked him if he'd like to go back to her place. He quickly agreed, but that's when the world started to spin, and he found himself in her body. The entire world had shifted--everyone was in someone else's body and freaking out. Derek was no exception, but the woman (who was now in his body) asked him if he was still interested in fooling around at her place. Derek certainly wasn't ready to do that in his new body! He ended up just staying as people left. He sat down on his steps and sulked...

Pink Purse (Part 1)

Originally posted on May 29, 2016.

It didn’t seem like a big deal. Annette had just asked Connor to hold her purse while she went to the bathroom. He felt a little strange holding a bright pink bag, but he didn’t want to refuse such a simple request on their second date. He felt like everyone was staring at him -- the man holding a bright pink bag. And she seemed to be taking so long in there. Each additional moment felt like forever...and then he felt something else. It was his body feeling strange now. Then he looked down and saw more pink. He was wearing a pink dress now that matched perfectly with the purse. In fact, his entire body had changed; he was a woman now! Connor began to wonder what was in this purse. He couldn’t wait anymore, and now that he was a woman now, he wouldn’t have a problem. He rushed into the women’s bathroom to find Annette, but she wasn’t in there. He was stuck with this body now without any explanation.

Ruined

The ruins in discovered in the center of the city had been quite a surprise and soon became a popular destination for researchers and tourists alike. It was astonishing how a large find could go undiscovered for so long. Matthew had gone down to the ruins with a tour group. A strange blue light surrounded them as they entered a room. When they exited, Matthew felt different. When he looked down, he discovered he swapped bodies with another person on the tour -- an absolutely gorgeous woman in tight pants and high heels. He wanted to say something, but no one else seemed to be questioning what had happened. Even his own body was acting normal. Was he the only one who was even aware that anything had happened. He sat just outside the ruins as the rest of the group went on. This was a lot to wrap his head around. Would he even be able to explain to anyone what had happened? Would it happen again if he went back in?

Bus Station

Ryan awoke feeling groggy. He looked around. It was funny. He hadn’t remembered falling asleep at the bus station; he didn’t even seem to recall going to the bus station. Yet here he was, waking up in one of the chairs. He stretched out and could suddenly feel a very different body from the one he went to sleep with. He was a woman. He tried to calmly assess the situation. He was in a woman’s body at the bus station. He woke a leather jacket, some tight pants, a pair of boots, and a ball cap. There was a purse -- he immediately dug in. There didn’t seem to be any ID, but there was plenty of cash. He bought a coffee and continued to evaluate his situation. What was he going to do? The cash in that purse wouldn’t last forever, but it was enough to get him plenty of places (he was at the bus station after all). His first thought: buy a ticket and head back to his own house to approach the person now in his body. His other option: buy a ticket far away and start a new life with this great body.

Made Up

Originally posted on July 29, 2015.

Evan was pretty sure he was never going to get the hang of putting on makeup. After three months of being stuck in a woman’s body thanks to the Great Shift, he was still having trouble. Sure, he had gotten better at applying makeup; it wasn’t nearly as messy as when he had first tried putting it on. But it still never seemed to look quite right when he did it. Maybe he just had no clue how to get the colors right; they always looked wrong. It was particularly frustrating since he had mastered so many other aspects of being a woman. It only took him about a day to figure out how to put on a bra, two and he was a master at walking in heels. Heck, even things like styling his hair and picking out a nice outfit didn’t seem much trouble for him. Why was makeup so hard?

Trying

Ryan had stolen Julia’s body just a few hours ago. But if he was going to successfully steal her life and convince anyone that he was really her, he’d have to learn to walk in high heeled shoes. Julia rarely wore anything else. Ryan was trying really hard to get used to them, but so far was having no luck. He had to prop himself up just to keep from falling down. This was not going to be easy, but he was sure that after a few more tries he could get it right.

Jim had finally collected everything up off the floor after dropping them from the shock of suddenly finding himself in his sister’s body. He realized that he had a lot to do. His ultimate goal would be to translate that page to hopefully swap back to his own body. However, he still needed to deal with his sister’s boyfriend; he had no interest in going out with that guy tonight! Maybe he should just go back to his sister’s room, change out of these clothes, lock the door, and just get to work. He could throw a couple of these books open and maybe there would be a clue in one of them. He might end up ruining her relationship, but at this point, that seemed like only a minor concern.

Frequent Flier

Originally posted on September 23, 2011.

After many years of business trips and vacations, Justin finally had collected a million miles, enough to enroll in the airline’s most exclusive benefits for frequent fliers. He was most excited about being able to fly anywhere in the world for free. He had no idea how they could afford it. He spoke with a representative about collecting his rewards, and she asked him if he had read all the terms and conditions. He claimed that he did, and she smiled as she lead him into what she claimed was a room for exclusive members like him. Inside it was pitch dark. He couldn’t see anything, but he suddenly felt strange. The lights came on, and Justin finally saw what happened. He body had been completely transformed into that of a busty blonde woman, and was wearing the uniform of the airline’s stewardesses. He felt a mix of shock and curiosity as he ran his hands all up and down his new body. The representative entered the room and asked where he wanted to go first. Justin could only scream about what had happened to his body, but the representative explained that it was all in the terms. He’d get free flights, but he’d have to work for them as a stewardess!
