Everybody Change

Originally posted on November 8, 2022. I may have chosen to re-create this particular caption for...reasons.

William had just graduated law school and got a job as a junior lawyer at a law firm. He was finally able to move out of his parents’ house and get an apartment down by the court house. The other people in the building explained that the community was very close, and William looked forward to getting to know people. His job left him with very little time to do so however. In fact, his first time to breathe had to spent going to the local laundromat.

Shortly after he put his clothes into the dryer, a weird homeless man came in shouting, “Everybody change clothes! Everybody change!”

William looked a little scared, but a neighbor told him that he would get used to it. The man left shortly after with no incident, and William finished drying his clothes. But as he pulled it out, his clothes were gone! Instead, a woman’s set of clothing was inside.

The same neighbor came over again and explained, “It happens everytime that man comes in. You’ll switch bodies with someone in the neighborhood. Looks like you’re Maria de la Cruz right now. Like I said, you get used to it.”

“New body?” William hadn’t even noticed but when he looked down it was clear, “But...how?”

“No one knows how he does it. Someone probably mentioned when you moved in that we are a close community.Now you know why.”

Pumping Gas

The gas station attendants were shocked when they saw the richest woman in town, Mrs. Worth, pull up to self-service, pull out an iPod, and start pumping her own gas. She never lifted a finger in her life! What they didn't know was that a strange accident had caused Mrs. Worth to swap bodies with the teenage boy that lived down the street from her. He said he'd try to hide it as much as possible, but he had no idea how to live as a rich woman!

Come Down

Adam answered the door. “Well, it’s about time. I expected you here an hour ago when I first swapped into your body,” He sighed, “What the heck have you been doing upstairs with my body?”

“I thought I was hallucinating or dreaming or something,” Beth explained to Adam, “I just didn’t believe I could suddenly be in someone else’s body, but it’s even weirder to see someone else in mine.”

“I wish I had known you were going to wait so long. I clearly got the better end of this deal, and I wouldn’t have minded a little alone time with this body.”

“Hey! Don’t forget that body is actually MINE! You better be careful with what you do with it.”

“You’ll need to trust me somewhat. You can’t watch me all the time...”
