Test Your Strength

Originally posted on August 31, 2009.

It was the weirdest carnival that Robert had ever been to. Inside of one of the tents, a gypsy used a crystal ball to swap his body with that of a young woman's. They were both told to return to the tent in two hours in order to swap back, as it would take time for the ball to recharge. Robert wasn't taking that chance. He grabbed the mallet from the Test Your Strength booth and headed back to the tent. He smashed the crystal ball, ensuring that he would keep the young woman's body forever.

"Lost"

Originally posted on December 6, 2009.

Carl could never stand to see his wife cry, even if she was doing it from his body. The two had swapped bodies because of a weird medallion she had found, and now she was crying because she accidentally threw it away before the time when they could swap back. Carl dried his wife's tears before heading over to the dumpster where the building's trash was collected. He wasn't looking forward to it, but it was worth it to get them back to their own bodies and make her happy. Meanwhile, Carl's wife clutched the medallion tightly. She had hated fooling Carl like this, but if she didn't really make him believe like she wanted to swap back, he'd be suspicious when she claimed she "lost" the medallion "accidentally."

Hairdo

Originlly posted on December 5, 2009.

The longer Ethan spent in his sister's body, the more concerned he got about his actions and mannerisms. Just two days ago, when an accident resulted in the bodyswap, he had worn her old sneakers and jeans. Now he was squealing about how cute he looked in her pink dress and heels. He was reading "Hairdo" magazine and crossing his legs in a feminine manner. If he didn't figure out a way to swap back with her soon, he was worried what else he could pick up from her body...

Body Building

The Great Shift was a bit of a blow to Robert's ego. He had been a large body-builder before, a hulking giant of a man. Now he had changed into a skinny 90-pound asian woman. He felt humiliated at first, but it wouldn't affect his resolve. The next day he hit the gym for a full 8 hour day, trying to tone up. He continued this for months on end. While he knew he could never have the mass he once had, he knew that he could tone this body to it's fullest potential.

The Stone (Fiction Branches Tribute)

Originally posted on December 7, 2009.

Jon Gibson couldn't have believed he was so careless with his wishing rock! His latest wish had plopped him into the body of the biggest bitch in school, Sarah McMillan...well, sort of. Reality had sort of altered so it was as if Jon had always been Sarah. He was a little releaved to be wearing jeans and a t-shirt instead of the skimpy clothes Sarah wore. He was also surprised that Sarah wasn't a natural blonde! He was also releaved that he wasn't captain of the cheerleading squad and apparently still a good student! Her parents had recently rewarded good grades with a new car! Jon figured his new life as Sarah wasn't all bad, but he was worried about what may have happened to the stone?

Could Do Better...

At first Gary thought it may have been just about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. As he walked down the hall, he passed by a young woman, who he eyed up and down as they passed each other. He thought she wasn't bad looking and pondered turning around to ask her on a date before deciding he could do better. That's when a strange white light engulfed the hall, swapping the pair's bodies. Gary wondered if he was somehow being punished for thinking this woman wasn't attractive enough to go out with...because he'd be stuck with her (in some sense) now! But it wasn't punishment, it was just one of the many results of the Great Shift.

Searching for ID

Originally posted on December 13, 2009.

Much like most other people after the Great Shift, Duncan looked around for some sort of identification about whose body he was currently in. He certainly could tell he was a woman with incredibly short jean shorts! Luckily, he found a small purse slung across his shoulder post-Shift, so he sat down and started to dig through it. Everyone else seemed to be doing the same.

Once he found it, he would use it to take his body back!

A Few More Hours

Originally posted on December 24, 2009.

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.

He wasn't sure if he was crazy at first or what until the passenger in the car turned to him and said, Did you swap too

Underground Caverns

Originally posted on December 28, 2009.

When Garret found the entrance to an underground cavern in his backyard, he was overjoyed. It was like having his very own personal waterpark. However, he didn't realize that he wasn't alone. The spirit of a young woman who died in the caves haunted the space. She saw Garret as her way out, but she wasn't the most competent ghost. She failed trying to possess his body, and instead of her spirit inside his body, she had transformed Garret's body into a copy of hers while he still maintained his original spirit. Garret touched his newly female body in disbelief! This was totally unreal!

Healing Pool

Originally posted on December 30, 2009.

Harold had travelled halfway around the world to remote a remote part of China based on rumors of a magical healing pool that could cure any disease. Considering he had an inoperable brain tumor, he figured superstition was his only hope at this point. Worse case scenario, he figured he would at least visit China before he died. When he arrived the villagers in the closest town warned him not to go--that no man dared to travel to the pool. He dismissed such rumors, and they reluctantly gave him directions. After taking a dip in the pool, he learned why no man ever dove in--he was transformed into a young Chinese woman! At this point, he could only hope that it cured his cancer as well. He had risked everything...quite literally.

Skintight

The first thing that Theodore noticed when he awoke was that he wasn't sleeping in his own bed. In fact, this wasn't even his own city! He looked out the window to see a very unfamiiar skyline. However, as he jolted about, he noticed something even more worrying--he wasn't even in his own body! Two large breasts hung out from his chest encased in a red skintight bodysuit. He reached his hand around to feel a very tight, firm butt as well! This was totally strange! What had happened?

Mixup

When Justin first arrived on Exchange Island, he was quite happy with the body he swapped with. As he settled into his room, he began to check it out. He swapped with a guy with six pack abs, big muscles, and a handsome face. He couldn’t complain at all. Then the phone in the room rang. He picked it up and the front desk was on the other end, explaining that there had been a mixup with the original swap and they were working to fix it now. Justin tried to interrupt to explain that he was happy with how it turned out, but he never got the chance. In another instant, he found himself on the beach in a very different body. He now had long hair and large breasts. He screamed. He nearly had an amazing body that he could use to pick up so many women; now he actually WAS a woman. He couldn’t believe it.

Smoke

Jack was pretty thankful when he found a cigarette inside the purse he was carrying. After the Great Shift swapped his body with a woman, he felt very stressed and needed one to calm down. If she had been a non-smoker, he would’ve felt terrible about doing this; then again, if she didn’t smoke, he had no idea where he’d be able to get a cigarette from right now anyway. After his smoke, he was a little calmer, or at least calm as one could be after finding themselves in a different body.

Twerk It Out

Originally posted on December 3, 2015.

The afternoon had started with Victor on the phone with a friend, making a flippant comment about how hot Asian women were. He hadn’t expected his girlfriend overhearing the conversation, nor could he anticipate her retaliation. Using her powers as a witch, she swapped Victor’s body with their upstairs neighbor, Ming. He tried to remain calm; he figured he’d just go downstairs and calm his girlfriend own. However, he couldn’t seem to do that. Instead, he found himself going to Ming’s closet and changing into a black and white top and some tight leather shorts. He couldn’t seem to stop himself. He realized his girlfriend hadn’t just swapped his body with Ming; she was also controlling his mind. He had limited control, but he knew he was going to have to do the things she forced him to -- even if it was something he didn’t want to do, like wear this outfit. She was also preventing him from doing things as well, like going down to apologize. It wasn’t long before Victor felt compelled to go to a nightclub. Despite trying to fight the urge, he found himself twerking on the dance floor. When guys started coming up to him, he wanted to run. However, instead of doing so, he felt the urge to get closer, be sexier, and flirt. He wanted to cry; he just hoped his girlfriend would release the grip on his mind before his did anything he would REALLY regret.

Business

Originally posted on December 5, 2015.

Luke had always considered himself a pretty shrewd businessman. If there was a way to make a profit, he was sure to find it. Body swapping technology proved to be a new way for him to increase his profits. A young woman visiting from a foreign country offered him a great sum to switch bodies with him. She didn’t want to be deported and swapping was a valid solution, as court rulings made it difficult to swap the original body of a citizen or a citizen swapped into a foreigner’s body. Luke did the math. She was sure offering him a lot of money. Plus, she was probably twenty years younger than he was. That would give him a longer lifespan to profit even more. He made sure his financial affairs were in order before the swap. Soon enough, he found himself in her body. He changed from her clothes into a skirt suit he had brought with him and smiled at her. He hoped she knew what she was getting herself into. She smiled back, thinking the exact same thing about his decision...

The Consequences of Sneaking

Originally posted on December 4, 2015.

Wendy had dragged her boyfriend Brian to the ballet. He hated it. He was so bored that he decided it was best he just ditch her during the intermission. He knew she’d give him hell later that night, but he just couldn’t take it anymore. It wasn’t until he got to the train station and sat down that he noticed something odd. He reached down to tie his shoe laces and noticed something strange about them. They weren’t his usual shoes; they were dainty white slippers that laced in the back. And why was he wearing tights? His eyes followed his legs up his body with horror. It wasn’t just that he was wearing a ballerina’s outfit, he had swapped bodies with one of the ballerinas! He began to think about how it happened. He could only think of one time. As he was making his way out, he had bumped into one. She was sneaking a cigarette at the time. They had both been trying to sneak, but could it be possible that they swapped bodies? The outfit seemed right, but he needed a mirror to be sure. How was he ever going to explain this to his girlfriend now?

A single radish and a piece of bok choy, it didn’t seem like very much food.

He knew he’d be hungry soon after, but he smiled as he told himself it would all be over soon. In a few days, they’d return to the lab that did this, and they’d swap back. He didn’t think switching bodies would change much, but living the live of someone else actually proved to be quite challenging. Danielle’s daily routine was just so much different from his. It ha been part of the experiment; he had to spend his time as she would. That meant getting up early to go workout, eating the meals she would eat, and even doing her job. Another smile came across his face; she probably had a harder time with his job than he did with hers. Doing Danielle’s job felt almost like a vacation to him; if only he was able to chow down on just a little more food!

Perfect Man

“Wait, wait, wait, don’t go, Kelly. Let me explain. I know I look like some strange woman, but it’s actually me, your husband, Ted. I didn’t want to freak out the kids at home, but I knew you’d be here tonight. I knew you wouldn’t miss this. I swapped with this woman a week ago. I don’t know how. I passed a few days just thinking it was a dream or that I’d wake up the next day in my own body. I need you to believe me, Kelly.” An exasperated Ted explained.

“Are you crazy? Body swapping? You expect me to believe that you are my husband? Wouldn’t he have told me? Or rather, if there is a woman inside his body? I’ve certainly heard zero the past week. In fact, he’s been a saint, picking up the girls at soccer practice, taking me out to dinner twice...” Kelly paused thinking about this. Her husband was never so selfless. Maybe this woman was right, maybe she had swapped bodies with her husband. Then again, the woman now in her husband’s body seemed like the perfect man, better than her husband ever was. Did she even want them to entertain the idea of helping them swap back?
