Nothing

Running into one's own body after the Great Shift would often prove to be a strange experience. Danielle hadn't seen her body since the Shift but encountered it one day at a bar. The man now insider of it was a total sleaze ball. It made her sick seeing her former body flirt with men and act so easy. But she knew there was nothing she could do; her body was his now.

Mirror, mirror

Jeff saw the hand mirror sitting in the middle of the floor. It seemed out of place, as if someone had left it behind. He picked it up and looked at the reflection. Though the reflection in the mirror mimicked his actions perfectly, the face wasn't his own--it was a woman's! What an interesting trick! He tried putting it down, but he realized he couldn't. As time passed, the reflection shifted to his own face, but at the same time, his own body changed to become the woman's that had been staring back at him. He tried putting it down to stop it, but he just couldn't!

Goofball

The look on Brian's face was priceless. The effects of the Great Shift had shocked him, just as they shocked many. But Brian was sort a goofball, as he cupped his new breasts, his facial expression seemed like a remarkable familiarity for those that had known him--a weird mix of shock and humor he could always pull off so well. There was comfort in knowing that despite everyone's new bodies, it didn't seem like anyone would be adopting a new personality to match anytime soon.

Oddness

It had been strange for both Bob and Margaret since they swapped bodies. The married couple wasn't adjusting very well, but neither thought anyone would believe they were stuck in each other's bodies! As a result, they tried their best to go about as usual. Bob walked awkwardly with Margaret's heels. Margaret made Bob's body look like a total geek. Still, despite any oddness, none of their friends noticed anything wrong. The appearance of their bodies were stronger than the appearance of their actions.

Assassin

He never used his real name; he often never went by a name at all. It helped to be anonymous for his work. He was a body swap assassin. His consciousness would be zapped half way across the world into a foreign body, and then he'd receive his assignment. He'd been on four straight missions now; he hadn't been back to his own body in months. After completing his latest, he prepared himself for a fifth. And soon enough, he was in an east Asian country in the body of a prostitute named Mei. The name of his next assignment was shocking: It was his! He couldn't turn it down; it would give up his true identity. But it also meant he couldn't go back. Mei's body would be his new permanent home. He swallowed his pride, and prepared to go after his target.

It didn't take long for Frank to treat his new body in the sort of negligent manner that he had treated his old body. He never exercised and ate horribly; he also didn't even know the first thing about being a woman. He just tried his best to dress sexy. Of course, this got harder and harder as he slowly let himself go. He wasn't oh so happy anymore.

Silly

Kyle thought he would've enjoyed this more. He had stolen his girlfriend Lydia's body and immediately dressed it up in her sexiest lingerie. She never dressed sexy, despite having a killer body. He was starting to understand why. When he was a guy, seeing a girl dressed up like this was a total turn on. Now that he was a girl, it just didn't do anything for him. In fact, it almost felt silly.

Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

On the encouragement of my group session, I am starting to write in you. It felt like a girlie thing to do. The psychologist said I could call it a journal, a record, or any else if I wanted, but let's face it: you are a diary. I'm only doing this because the group has really helped so far. I don't know how I would've coped with the Great Shift without the support group. It's for those of us stuck in very different situations. Sometimes I meet with others who have changed gender, and sometimes I meet with others who have changed race. Today, the small group I was with was all white men who are now Asian women...myself obviously included. I know things like gender and race shouldn't matter. I used to think they didn't, until mine got changed! It's weird to cope with; it's weird to feel like your identity is totally different yet still realize you feel who you've always been inside. Supposedly this diary is to help us deal with that somehow.

At first, Gerald did his best to keep up appearances. He went to all of Kimberly's classes, but he didn't bank on how distracting having breasts would be. He would sneak out of class to go into the bathroom. He could just stare at Kimberly for hours. It was fascinating when he was male, but it was something beyond that now. Since he was in control, he could move her body in any way he wanted. If he wanted her body to make heavy moans, he could. If he wanted her body to sit with legs spread, he could. It was surreal and awesome.

Ransom...

Calvin picked up the ringing phone with slight hesitation.

"Hello?" He asked into the receiver.

"Hello." A voice on the other end responded, "I bet your wondering why you are in a woman's body. You're probably also wondering where your own body is, aren't you, Mr. Hansen? Well, let me tell you that it's safe here with me. If you ever want it back, you'll do exactly as I tell you. You will take one million dollars from your bank account and transfer it into another one that I will give you shortly. Do not try to contact the police. They are likely to not believe any crazy stories about bodyswapping, and the woman's body you are currently inhabiting is a wanted criminal. You'd likely be arrested on the spot, so if you want your body back, you'll do exactly as I say..."

Oh so happy! (Part 1)

Frank couldn't have been happier with the results of the Great Shift. Though he had never told anyone, he had secretly desired to be a woman all his life. No one had ever suspected it. After all, who would've expected your typical slob of a man to have such a desire? It didn't matter, his dreams were true now! He'd pretend to be upset about it around some of his friends, but he was actually oh so happy!

Back of a limo

Jon felt pretty smug. Someone had thrown something at him from the backseat of a limo, and he was quick to take his revenge. A few magic words and he was now the one in the back of the limo inside the rider's body. Being a young woman was quite unexpected; he had thought it would be someone much older. Honestly though, he was enjoying it. That is, until he felt a strange wetness coming from his breast--he was lactating!

Gerald awoke the next morning thinking he had the strangest dream. It had started out with him arguing with his girlfriend Kimberly. Through some black magic, they ended up switching bodies. It had all felt so real! Looking around, he saw that he was in Kimberly and Wendy's room. He must've slept over for the night, but he soon realized he was alone in the bed. Next, he realized what he thought was a dream had actually happened! He was in Kimberly's body! He rushed to the mirror and smiled with a wicked grin. This was going to be so good!

Evil plan

Greg and Christine were freaking out when their parents told them they were going to have another kid! Their parents were way too old! Greg and Christine were already off to college, and now their parents were going to have another child running around? It seemed so surreal to both of them. They needed an evil plan to stop it, and thanks to a bodyswapping spell on the internet, they soon had one! Things went slightly awry when the spell placed Greg in their mom's body and Christine in their dad's body, but it wouldn't deter their plans. The two went to a doctor to demand an abortion, but they were told that their mom was too far along. To make matters worse, they discovered that the bodyswap spell wouldn't reverse when they got home! It look like Greg was going to be the one to give birth to his new sibling!

The apartment

In a flash, Doug found himself sitting in a completely unfamiliar apartment across the street. As if that wasn't weird enough, he also found himself in a woman's body! Everything about this told him that this was impossible! But if it happened to him, he couldn't be the only one, could he? He tried to turn on the TV for more info but found that this woman had no TV, and he didn't know the password for her internet. He hopped out onto the fire escape to see if he could see inside other apartments. If he saw others freaking out too, he knew he wasn't the only one.

Bickering (Part 1)

The argument started late one night in Wendy's dorm room between Kimberly, Wendy's roommate, and Gerald, Kimberly's boyfriend. The two had the same argument three times in the past week alone--about who had it easier, men or women. Wendy was fed up and decided to put her previously unknown witching skills to work by swapping the bodies of the bickering pair. Kimberly freaked out and wondered why Gerald wasn't doing the same. He said that her reaction was just proof that she knew women had it easier. Wendy interrupted and told them she didn't want to hear another word. They'd be stuck in each other's bodies for the week, and once it was over, they'd know first hand if men or women had it easier. The couple nodded, and soon after Kimberly went back to Gerald's room. Gerald meanwhile crept into the women's bathroom to check out his new body. It was exciting to see it from an entirely different perspective. He pulled out her camera phone for a few shots.

Upside

It felt like an earthquake. Eric braced himself on the walls, hoping to avoid any falling debris. But it wasn't an earthquake, and Eric soon found he was concerned about something much different than debris--a new body! The trembling must have been some sort of body swapping phenomenon, and now he had a new body! He was a woman, and a damn good looking one at that! Sure, he was concerned, but he could certainly see an upside!

Forcing a smile

Mike was trying his best to force a smile. Thanks to the Great Shift, he ended up in the body of his best friend's mom. It wasn't so much that he was now a woman, it was that he ended up being jealous of those who got way better bodies than he did! He was old and stuff, whereas his best friend wound up in the body of a totally smoking babe! It just wasn't fair!

Fourth Grade

Mrs. Sanders looked over her Fourth Grade class after the break. It wasn't an expected break, it had been the result of a disaster caused by The Great Shift. The world had been thrown into chaos by that worldwide body-swapping event, and the school administrators felt it appropriate to give kids a week off to adjust. Her class had been all boys before the Shift, though now there was certainly a mix of genders. The boys had swapped with students younger and older, creating a rather odd scene. She thought it best to simply continue her lessons without giving any pause to all of the transformed students.

App

Kyle was a little puzzled when he found a mysterious app on his phone. He hadn't remembered downloading it, but the opening screen described it as "An app like no other!" He had to admit, he was curious. When he opened it up, it just seemed to be a bunch of pictures. Some were dudes and some were babes. He swiped through a few until he saw one particularly hot woman with a huge bust. He tried touching it in hopes of a better zoom, but instead a light shot out of his phone and he BECAME the woman in the photo. His own picture was now in the app instead. He tried clicking on himself, but his pictured disappeared before he had the chance! For the time being, he seemed stuck. He guessed he could select someone else, but then again, he could see certain advantages to his current body...

Another three months

Neil nervously explained the situation to his friend Amy. "I know we planned to switch our bodies back after six months, but, um, I hate to tell you this, but I accidentally went and got you--or rather, myself--pregnant. As you very well know, the medallion won't work when I'm like this. Looks like we've got to wait another three months until we can switch back."

Busy man

"I really don't have time for this right now, Jessica!" Greg complained, "Look, I know we switched bodies, and I know you've been looking for a solution. No one in the office cares that I'm now in your body! I just haven't had time to help! Today I've got a huge client meeting, three phone conferences, and trial preparation! I'm a busy man--er, woman!"
