Dylan had always been jealous of the beautiful, colorful clothes women got to wear, so when the Great Shift ended up plopping him into a female body he was ecstatic. He took the opportunity to wear all sorts of skirts and dresses. Though he had to admit, some of the clothing was a lot tighter and restrictive than he expected. He also couldn't help but think it was weird that someone would design clothes without pockets!

After the other bands played, we went back to her place. It was in one of those new condo buildings that had popped up in the neighborhood. It was so clean without a rat or roach to been seen. Her closet was filled with so many clothes, and I was pretty sure some of her outfits were more expensive than my entire wardrobe. She told I could help myself to whatever I wanted, since she wouldn't be able to wear it anymore.
She also advised me to take a shower an change right then and there. After all, I had gotten sweaty from my performance. I wasn't really sure what to wear, so I asked her to pick something out for me while I cleaned up. I was pretty shocked the she trusted me in the shower by myself, and I decided I was not going to violate that trust. As such, my shower was quick and efficient. I stayed in her spare bedroom -- I had never heard of anyone in this city who could afford a 'spare' bedroom before.
The next day, she had an outfit laid out for me. It wasn't at all my style, but I didn't want to complain. I snapped an akward selfie in one of her mirrors on my way out. Then we went to my place, so she could pick up some of my clothes as well. She didn't say a single word about how shitty it was. Yet we both knew we had a lot to discuss.
We obviously decided to exchange clothes, and she'd arrange to have them moved to her place -- though I asked to hold onto a few t-shirts for sentimental reasons, which wasn't a problem. Then she sighed and told me she wasn't comfortable with me staying in my apartment either. Given the broken lock on the door and the crappy location, she was legitimately concerned for her body's safety -- I hadn't really thought of that aspect of being a woman. She offered her spare room that I could stay in rent-free, and she even said she'd move my stuff in along with the clothes that she needed.
I asked if it would be awkward to see our original bodies all the time. What if we did things the other disapproved of, or what if we started dating? She quieted my concerns. She explained that it wasn't a long term solution, but it would at least work for now -- and there wasn't any point to worrying about problems until they acually arose. I'd probably always remember how much I dismissed her, and how much she impressed me in those first 24 hours.

I did also consider how surreal this was for the woman who swapped into my body. She was still in the back of the room, now watching her own body perform like an idiot to music she probably hated. And while I was surrounded by friends through this; she had to deal with being surrounded by strangers. I realized I'd actually have to talk to her one-on-one after I was done.
After unplugging everything and putting it away so the next band could set up, I went over to talk to her.
"That was...interesting," She said. That reaction wasn't exactly an uncommon response to my typical performance, but I had a feeling tonight that word took on a particularly unique meaning.
"Well, I'm sure it's weird seeing your own body perform like that," I replied.
“Yeah, sure, there's that. But there's just so much more energy in the live setting compared to the recordings on your website."
THAT statement I never imagined. I wanted to ask why; I wanted to ask if she was a fan or just researched all the bands on a bill before showing up. Instead I just awkwardly stood there and blushed. It was a moment when I truly felt like a girl, like a girl who had just been called "pretty" by a cute guy. Except I wasn't called "pretty," I think it was my music that actually got a compliment. And despite my initial assumptions, maybe being stuck in this particularly woman's body wasn't so bad. At least she had decent taste in music.

They called it "the Great Shift," and that made sense for most of the world. But for us, the entire shift was all contained within that room that night, and I was the only one in the body of an outsider. As we all explained who we were, there was an odd hush when I spoke -- I wasn't sure if it was curiosity or if they felt bad for me.
The promoter asked us all if we still wanted to perform. He told us he didn't expect many more people to come out given everything. Most of still wanted to do the show, even if we were just performing for the other performers (it wouldn't be the first tme doing so for any of us). And one or two people wanted to go home and deal with their new bodies; the promoter refunded their money.
It only delayed the show for about an hour before I nervously stood back up in front of everyone and hit "play" on the beats on my laptop. It felt like pure escapism. I felt like me as I peformed. Only two things would occasionally bring me back to the reality of being in someone else's body. The first was that I think this body could actually hit notes I was trying to sing insteadof relying on Auto-Tune (though I kept it on for the entire set anyway). And the other was that I certainly wasn't wearing a bra that worked for performing an active musical set. It wasn't supportive in th ways I needed it to be, and I also felt sweat in places I never expected. I tried my best to ignore all that and give it my all anyway.

It was in one of those places where you'd go see a band to say you saw them WAY before they were famous. But most of the time you'd go and see bands that will never, ever be known at all. The walls were covered in graffiti, the floors had never been cleaned, and the bathrooms were barely useable. We all knew the place was probably illegal, and the city would probably shut it down if it ever actually attracted enough people for them to care.
I was slated to be the opening act on the bill that night. I ran my beats through a laptop and screamed into a microphone, it was like an abrasive form of hyperpop but without any real hooks. There was actually some buzz surroudning the headlining act due to some influencer post about the show earlier in the day. This never really caused a huge draw, but it often brought in some more normal people. On most nights, I knew everyone in the 'crowd' -- if you could call it that -- which was usually around only two dozen people at most. It was filled with the weirdos, myself incldued, who just wanted a place to do our strange music.
I had set up all my gear and was ready to go. There was about ten people in the crowd -- three freinds, the members of the other bands, and some random girl in the back. She looked so out of place, as if she thought this was some kind of hip dance club instead of some dirty DIY space. I could only imagine she came out becaue of the influencer's post -- though we did also get the occasional off person showing up who had been told this was the "cool" place to be.
And with moments to go before my set, the Great Shift happened. It's probably not hard to figure out which body I ended up inside of as a result. I would've been fine being anyone else -- one of my friends, the promoter, one of the people in the other bands -- but her? There was nothing wrong with the fact that I was now a woman, but I immediately felt like a poser. I snapped a pic in the dirty mirror on the back wall. It helped me detach, I'd rather look at a photo on her phone to process this as opposed to a hands on exploration.

When Steve was swapped into the cab driver's body by the Magic Taxi, he read the journal that told him how to swap again, but he thought that wouldn't be fair to the next person. He was resolved to tough it out. That was until Claire got into the cab. She was spoiled, sure, but that wasn't where it ended. She assumed Steve didn't speak English and was on her cell phone the entire time making racially insensitive comments. Steve knew if anyone needed to learn a lesson and spend some time in someone else's shoes, it was this girl. She began to walk out of the cab, ready to stiff Steve on the fare until he turned to her and said, "Have a nice day, Miss." He looked back at the horror on what was his face for the last month, as he sprung away in Claire's body.

Sarah and Ben were one of many couples that were affected by the Great Shift. Ben thought that Sarah was going to leave him for sure after they both found themselves in the bodies of sexy, young women. However, fifty years of marriage couldn't be undone by a catastrophic world-wide body swapping event. It was not only a second chance at life, but a second chance at their relationship, a way to breathe a new life into it. Both Sarah and Ben couldn't be happier.

Mad Dog Morgan was on the run from the law with a wanted poster in every town in the Old West. He needed to hide, but how? While he was having a drink at a saloon, an old man told him that he could help make it so the law wouldn't recognize him. The old man told him there would be a price, and Mad Dog was quick to pull some gold out of his pocket. But the old man refused, saying the price would be obvious soon enough, and that it wasn't gold or money. Mad Dog seemed confused, and asked what the man's plan was. The old man told him to simply walk out of the saloon door, and no one will ever recognize him as Mad Dog Morgan ever again. Mad Dog laughed, but did as he was told, hoping for any chance to evade the law. He walked out the door and wondered what he would look like now. He waked back into the saloon, but the old man was gone. When he found a mirror, he looked in and realized the price...he was a dame!

When the Great Shift hit, Peter suddenly found himself wearing a tight leather outfit and was backstage at some club. He grabbed his ass in shock! He wasn't sure if this was a performance venue or strip club or what...he just knew something about this was very, very wrong. He was an introvert before the Shift, so he couldn't imagine what kind of woman would dress herself up like this exhibitionist, but he was hoping he could slip away.

"Holy sh*t! Look at you, Tim! You must be adjusting to the Great Shift well. I mean, I just threw on some of my wife's old shorts and flip flops, but you are wearing nice designer jeans and, my god, those heels! How do you even walk in them? I mean, my wife made me try, but I fell flat on my face! I've adjusted to being female okay, but you've got it down to an art!"

At 80 years old and on a respirator in a hospital, Eugene knew that he didn't have much more time. As his doctor looked over him, explaining something to him, but he zoned out. He knew this was it; his life was being sucked out of him...then something strange happened. He suddenly saw himself looking down at himself dying. He initially thought he was floating towards heaven, but didn't seem to be getting anywhere, and that's when he realized he was inside the doctor's body! He was worried! He didn't know anything about being a doctor--or even a woman for that matter! He hid in her office for a while until he heard more screams about people who had swapped bodies. It seemed everyone in the hospital had. They'd soon learn it was almost everyone in the world!

Ian was sitting on a park bench when he heard an ear-piercing noise. He covered his ears, but it did no good. He eventually cringed down in pain, but then the noise started to dissipate. He sat back up and slowly started to pull his hands from his ears. That's when he looked around to realize he was in a different park in an entirely different city. It took Ian a little longer to notice that he was in a different body! The noise had caused him to swap with a beautiful woman in a pink dress clear across the country!

"I know your experiment is responsible for this! Switch me back now!" Ryan yelled from the body of Sgt. Maggie Wilson while pointing a gun to head scientist at the base where they all worked.
"I can't," he explained, "You only THINK you are Ryan! You ARE ACTUALLY Maggie! I just transplanted all of Ryan's thoughts and memories into you! I'm sorry that I lost you're original brain patterns! There's nothing I can do! I could effectively switch your brain patterns with his, he'd be back in here in two days doing the exact same thing you are now!"
Somehow Maggie knew he was right. She may think of her herself as Ryan. She could remember everything about being him, down to the smallest detail, but the fact that he could feel the sway of Maggie's hips as he walked the weight of her breasts...the muscle memory was just too familiar...

Aaron was excited when he saw the smile on Kelly's face, "So I take it that you had as good a time in my body as I did in yours?"
Kelly nodded, "How would you feel about making this swap permanent?"
"You mean I'd get to be you forever?" Aaron asked, "Oh, my god! Yes! I've loved being a woman and was going to ask you the same thing! That medallion was the best thing we ever found!"

"Welcome to the Great Shift Support Group for those that have been switched into the bodies of senior citizens. Many of our members were toddlers or teenagers; others have switched genders. I was a young male college grad, in fact, before I found myself in this middle-aged woman's body. Please, come in..."

Kevin was at an outdoor rock concert when the Great Shift happened, and he switched bodies with the lead singer of the band. "Holy shit!" He exclaimed as he grasped his new breast on stage, "What the hell happened? Is everything okay with everyone else?" It wasn't long before he noticed a panic in the crowd, but as the man--er--woman with the microphone, he felt it was up to him to calm the audience down...

Mark had no idea what happened to his beerbelly. He lifted up his shirt to reveal a tight, little tummy under it. He hadn't heard anything about the Great Shift yet, but he was just another victim of the whole incident. However, considering being in 20-something woman was a lot better than being an overweight middle-aged man.

"Finally!" Mark exclaimed, "Ever since the Great Shift I've been searching this woman's room for some shoes that didn't have super high heels on them! These boots will certainly fit the bill! I don't really care that it's close to 90 degrees outside! I'd rather wear this warm boots than four inch heeled sandals!"

When a myserious stranger asked Max if he wanted to be a woman, he assumed the man had somehow reached down into his soul to pull out his deepest desire. He thought that if he said yes he'd become the woman he dreamed about. He was certainly disappointed when instead he switched bodies with a woman who was overweight and out of shape. He had hoped to be sexy right off the bat. Maybe if he exercised, he had a chance to get hot?

Kevin was scared when Margot tricked him into entering a small tiled area then trapped him by closing a glass door on his face. He pressed his hands up against it, hoping to get out, but soon she hit a switch. He felt changes coming over him. He looked over at Margot to see changes were happened to her as well--she was turning into him! That must mean that he was turning into her! He looked down to confirm his fear. He had her body and her soft skin; he was even wearing her clothes! The same grey top and purple jacket! This was too weird! He screamed to be let out, but she just laughed at him, leaving him stuck... in more ways than one!

Craig couldn't believe it. After scoring a million points on his video game, a beam came out of the TV that transformed him into a woman! A message on the screen said that he needed five million more points to change back. "Easy," he thought. However, as he continued to play, he started to become less and less interested in stupid video games, and more and more interesting in going shopping for new clothes...or trying on makeup...or dating boys!

Rob was scared and confused when he was swapped into the body of a beautiful woman in a fancy gown. Various radio reports were dubbing the mass body swap as "the Great Shift," but Rob was just concerned about finding some more comfortable clothes and getting back to his home. He figured first things first and entered a laundromat. He casually grabbed an unattended basket and sifted through a few dryers for clothes that would fit his new statuesque body. He picked a few bras and panties, both of which made him feel uncomfortable, then got to work on some things like shirts and pants. Settling on a blue button-up shirt and jean shorts, now all he needed was a place to change...

When Ryan discovered a bodyswitching machine in a shed outside of his parent's new house, he tricked his sister into switching bodies with him. Apparently, there was something wrong with the settings, and while he remembers who he was, she thinks that she's always been him. Now he has been trying to figure out a way to trick her into switching back. However, so far he has been unsuccesful in being able to do so.

There are a bunch of exclusive captions for people who subscribe at DeviantArt, and this is one of them. Or it was until today. I do try to put a few of these out of the "exclusive" category from time-to-time. I'm generally a fan of things being free, but I do like giving extra things for people who do help support these captions and videos and everything else. I try to do my best and to do right by everyone as much as possible.
Barney was a man who obtained a vast fortune in his life, but he never married, had no kids, and his family all dead. There was often talk of who he was going to leave his money to, but he gave no signs or indications.
Of course, he knew people wanted a piece. The nurse who visited him had asked for some. He told her that he couldn't promise a lot, but that she'd be taken care of. And then there was his maid, Marisa. She had taken to wearing costumes like a french maid outfit and acting flirty as opposed to asking directly. Barney could see through the signs; she wasn't the first golddigger to try these sorts of shenanigans. But he had a plan to give her exactly what she wanted -- sort of.
One day he told her he was leaving most of his fortune to her; she began to dance around with glee. Barney was a little sad to be right, but he also knew what had to be done next as he whispered a few words in a language Marisa couldn't understand. The next thing she knew, she was the one in the bed; she was gasping for air as she felt her heart stop.
Meanwhile, Barney was the one now in Marisa's body, wearing her heels and the silly maid uniform. He got the phone to call an ambulence and report the heart attack, but Barney knew it was already too late. His original body was dead, and he would now inherit most of his former fortune in Marisa's body. Of course, he had a singificant sum set aside for the nurse too, just like he had promised her.

Bill had loved his vacation last year to Exchange Island, but he just didn't think he'd be able to afford the flight out this time. Luckily, he had just heard they opened a new resort closer to home called "Exchange Mountain." He had wondered if his luck would as good this time and was overjoyed when he arrived and swapped bodies with the sexiest snowbunny on the mountain. Sure, he wouldn't be able to show off in a bikini this time, but he was excited to have guys hit on him in the lodge, zoom down the slopes, and even enjoy some special alone time with his temporary body in the bathroom.

Begging Kasey for his old body back didn't work, Michael had to resort to trickery. He was convinced that she was still keeping the medallion responsible for back in his hotel room, so he did a rather odd thing and attempted to seduce his own body. It was awkward, but he managed to sneak the room key away. At the next possible opportunity, he went into his old room to look for the medallion, turning the room inside-out. It was still nowhere to be found. He heard a knock at the door. "If you're looking for the medallion, I threw it away," he heard his old body scream.

Only a few moments earlier Clyde was relaxing on the beach in Hawaii, and the next thing he knew he was outside in a snowy Alaskan landscape. Unlike many swaped in the Great Shift, Clyde ended up miles away from his original body. He had never seen snow before in his life! Of course, he had never been a woman before either, it didn't mean he wasn't enjoying both...one more than the other.

Milo stood frozen in the lobby of Exchange Island. He wasn’t quite sure how to react. He had been told that both he and his wife Eleanor would return to their original bodies when they checked out. And it worked for her -- his wife’s normal, middle aged body stood before him -- but it didn’t work for him! Milo did still swap, but not back into his own body; he was now an Asian woman in an animal print bikini with bunches in his hair.
“Milo?” Eleanor asked.
“It’s me,” He replied, “This is awkward.”
“Well, you were lucky enough to have that rather fit young man’s body for our time here. The rumors I’ve heard about men dealing with women’s bodies that for their entire vacation is quite common. You can deal with it for a few minutes while we sort this out.”
Eleanor turned to the lobby clerk, “Excuse me, but I think there’s been a mixup. That is most certainly not my husband’s body.”
“Let me see if I can clear that up,” The clerk replied as she started typing into the computer, “Give me a moment.”
After several minutes, the clerk spoke up again, “I’m sorry, but that technically IS your husband’s body.”
Eleanor scoffed, “I’m pretty sure you can see that it’s not. What about that body says ‘husband’ to you?”
“I mean, that’s his body now LEGALLY. He’s a Clause 13.”
“Excuse me?”
“On Page 12, Section 3, Clause 13: In the event of accidental death of the guest’s original body, the guest agrees to assume permanently the new available body of another party responsible for said death.”
“My husband is dead?”
“No, he’s right there. He just has a new body...for good.”

Jeremy was simply walking down the street one day when he bumped into a middle aged man who seemed to be running from something. Before Jeremy could ask what was wrong or apologize, the man pulled out a strange ray gun and hit Jeremy with it. The next thing he knew, he was sitting on a lawn chair wearing a bikini...and he was NOT in his own body. In the distance, he could see some more people running down the street, presumaly chasing the man he saw earlier. Jeremy quietly snuck inside a nearby house. He didn't know how or why that man's ray gun swapped his body with this sexy woman, but it didn't take him long to know that he did not want to swap back. He peaked out the window as the group of people in pursuit passed.

It was a special ops mission in North Korea. Kim Jong-il was rumored to be working on a new top secret weapon, and John and his team were sent in to investigate and stop it. The nature of the weapon became quickly apparent upon landing outside of Pyongyang when a strange beam was fired at the men. John and the others expected instant death, but were surprised to find themselves waking up several hours later. The first part of the mission was complete, they discovered what the weapon did. It was apparently some sort of bodyswap ray, which had switched the bodies of the special ops men with a few hookers. Now the second part of the mission was to destroy it, even if that meant being stuck like this forever. It was a sacrifice that John was prepared to make as he picked up his gun.

Waking up the next morning, she certainly knew how he felt alright because she was him, and he was now her! After examining himself in the mirror, he called his own cell number to hear his own voice answer. Both were relieved to hear their own voice, but Bill never fessed up about making the wish that caused his girlfriend to TRULY know EXACTLY what he felt (literally), nor did they ever find a way to switch back.
