Motel

Theo had been driving late at night on his business trip, and he was in the middle of nowhere. Figuring he should stop for the night, he pulled into the only motel around. It was dreary, but it was the only thing for miles. The bed was uncomfortable, the walls were paper thin, and the television barely worked. He started banging on the staticy screen. He briefly saw an image of an actress on the television before the lights flickered, he felt a jolt, and it returned to static. Theo couldn't help but feel strange from that point on. It took him a while to figure out what happened. He looked down. His body -- it had changed! He was the actress he had seen on the screen. What was up with this weird motel?

The small plane

Jonah looked around at the various passengers on the small plane. He was on his was to Exchange Island, and he wondered who he was going to swap bodies with. He saw an elderly couple and shuddered at the thought of being old for a week. He figured his best bet was probably the single mom who was traveling with her child. She was just a little older than he would have liked, but she was his pick out of everyone on the plane. As a gay man who also felt trapped in a body that was the wrong gender, he wanted to take this trip just to experience being a woman, if even for a little while. As the plane landed, he braced for the swap.

He was surprised when he found he didn't swap with anyone on the plane, but instead switched with someone on the ground at the beach. he brushed a strand of hair from his face and looked down. This body was simply gorgeous! To make things even better, he was surrounded by four very attractive men fawning attention on him. For Jonah, this was a dream come true!

As usual, Ed arrived early to work the next morning. He couldn't wait for Rebecca and Gus to show up, so that he could get out of the office and start selling! He thought about how many he could sell this week. First, he had the advantage of Rebecca's body. A little flirting and he was sure he could boost the price up. Then there was the desperation he heard in people's voices yesterday. This could create a great mix for an even better week!

Didn't wait

Wilber didn't even wait for his vision to come back after he was blinded by the white light; he could tell something was wrong. He fumbled around to look for a mirror before his eyesight returned just enough to see his reflection. It was all still a little blurry, but it was certainly wrong. An attractive woman looked back at him instead of his own male face. Even the mirror and the table it was above was unfamiliar. Who was he? Where was he?

Hilarious

Katie followed her brother Jeff closely. She couldn't believe he hadn't noticed anything amiss yet. She called up one of her friends and she burst into giggles. Jeff stopped, and Katie's heart skipped. Had he finally caught on to what she had done to him?

He turned.

"Like, what are you like laughing about? And why are you like following me, Sis?" Jeff asked.

This only made Katie laugh more. Not only had she used magic to transform him into a girl, he was now also talking like a valley girl, and he didn't realize anything was wrong at all. This was hilarious!

Ed was the only one to come to the office for the next few days. He dressed casually in a t-shirt and jeans instead of the usual blazer. He didn't expect any calls, but he figured he could catch up on some paperwork. He felt uncomfortable at his own desk. Maybe he just couldn't get his chair to the right height for his new body or something. He eventually settled for sitting at Rebecca's work station. It didn't really matter since he was the only one in the office. After about three days of nothing, the line rang. And soon it was ringing off the hook. People were interested in sales and rentals after the Great Shift switched them into new bodies with no places to go. Ed figured he'd call Rebecca and Gus back in tomorrow and start showing some houses!

Eventually

Joel wasn't sure he was ready. It had been two days since the Great Shift swapped him into Rita's body. He knew he should change his clothes; he knew he should shower. However, he was uncomfortable. He felt like seeing Rita with her clothes off would be totally violating her. Yet he knew he would have to eventually.

Ballet

Sure, Richard was a little shocked by the Great Shift. Everyone was nearly frozen with fear when they suddenly found themselves swapped into a different body. Richard was no exception when he found himself in the body of child in a ballet class. But then things got REALLY weird. Unlike everyone else effected by the Shift, he quickly started aging, ultimately turning into a full grown woman. Oddly enough, the ballet outfit grew with him, thankfully; though he certainly looked silly as a grown woman wearing an outfit intended for a child. He was also thankful that he wouldn't have to do through puberty again, but he was wondering why he was the only one who seemed to magically age.

Party

Gavin and Rodrigo were preparing for their first ever party in their off-campus apartment when a strange light engulfed their home and they were swapped into the bodies of the two women who lived on the floor below them. Both were pretty shocked, but neither wanted it to screw up their party. After putting some finishing touched on the apartment, the guys got ready. Gavin threw on an old sweatshirt, but Rodrigo went all out. He wore a stunning black dress to show off his new body. Gavin was a little suspicious, but decided to overlook it for now...the first guest was here!

In light of the recent body swapping, Ed insisted on sending Gus and Rebecca home for the day. Rebecca was far too dedicated and tried to insist on staying, but after they heard reports on the radio about how widespread the event was, they all decided there probably wouldn't be anyone buying houses today. In fact, they were all a little worried that they might not be selling any houses for quite a while. Ed tried his best to comfort Gus and Rebecca. He told them he'd still be paying them a base salary, enough to get them through any downturn. They left still a little worried, but reassured by Ed's promises. Ed stuck around in the office a little while longer. He was happy to be all alone with his fabulous new body. While he certainly couldn't wait to take advantage of having this new body while trying to sell houses, for now he'd just be taking advantage of having this body.

Statistically unlikely

It had been about five years since the Great Shift. It had seemed statistically unlikely, but all of Fred's closet male friends had swapped with women. Fred, too, had become a woman thanks to the Shift. They had all adapted to their feminine roles quite well. In fact, it was Fred who had the hardest time with it. All the others had gotten married and become pregnant. Fred was a few months behind them. He had finally accepted he was a woman now and finally settled down. He'd be joining his friends in motherhood soon enough.

Drank

John returned to his home after a fairly intense workout. He had forgotten to bring water along, so he went into the fridge and grabbed the first thing he saw and chugged it. As soon as he did, his body instantly transformed into a woman. He didn't know what exactly was in the bottle. His wife must have picked up whatever it was somewhere. He'd just have to wait for her to get home, so he could try to figure out what the heck he drank and (hopefully) how to solve this.

Monday morning (Part 1)

After a slow weekend, the small real estate office opened its doors on Monday morning when Ed arrived to unlock them. Ed was a gray haired man who had started the company in his youth. He was always the first arrive and last to leave. Rebecca usually arrived shortly thereafter. Ed always thought the attractive brunette could use her sexy body and sell a house without saying a word. Of course, her dedication and hard work allowed her to excel in the field. Meanwhile, Gus always arrived a little late. He could get away with it with his smooth talk. The three hadn't even received a call when it happened. A strange light that engulfed all three, swapping their bodies. Each of them were shocked to find themselves in the other's body. Rebecca was terrified to be in Gus's body. She had become a man! Gus was weirded out by being in Ed's body; he certainly didn't want to be old. While Ed was shocked to be in Rebecca's body, he instantly recognized the advantages of being a young, attractive female. However, he kept any joy he might have well hidden.

Unlike

Once Max realized what had happened, he made a face. He couldn't believe he had swapped bodies with some chick! Sure, she was hot (thank goodness for small favors -- he'd hate to think of how he would feel if he was ugly), but he still didn't like the idea of being a woman. He was a dude! He didn't want to have to feel these bouncing orbs on his chest or this strange void between his legs. And, God, he'd have to wear a bra now! And he'd be getting a period before a month was up. He didn't like the idea of this at all!

Saturday

After an exhausting week at work, David spent most of Saturday sleeping on his hammock in the backyard. At about 3 o'clock, he heard a nagging voice.

It whined, "Daaaaad!"

David assumed it was his daughter as it had her intonations, but the voice had seemed much too deep. He reluctantly flipped around and opened his eyes to see his own body standing there. He looked down to confirm what he now already suspected. He had swapped bodies with his daughter!

Or was this a dream? Maybe he was having a nightmare. That would be the cliché, right? He tried to think back if he had yelled at her for staying out late or dressing provocatively. If she had shot back that she was now eighteen and that he couldn't tell him what to do anymore. He couldn't remember a single incident like that. He got along great with his daughter.

Out of phase

When astronomers discovered the object, there was panic. It appeared to be a minute black hole in the sky that was capable of moving, and it appeared to be moving at a rapid rate in the direction of Earth! As time passed, and the trajectory was more closely pinpointed, they downgraded the panic to "near miss." Still, even with the possibility of the object passing a few light years away from the solar system, scientists warned there could be some strange consequences on our planet.

And strange things did happen when the object was at its closest.

Jim was walking outside when he suddenly saw what appeared to be his own body walking ahead of his. There was another copy of him a few feet back as well. Soon enough there were thousands of him walking in a line, and he felt like he occupied each of those bodies at the same time. Then the bodies changed, it was thousands of different people, and he once again occupied them all simultaneously. Just as he thought his mind could no longer handle it, the number of bodies condensed back to three -- but not three of his body. They were three copies of one of the other people on the line, a young blond woman in a leather jacket.

He still felt in control of all three bodies. The only difference was timing. One would do an action first, followed by another a little later, and the third would then repeat the action at an equal interval. It was confusing to wrap his minds around. He was longer concerned about getting back to his own male body; now, he was just concerned to getting back to a singular body!

As advertised

A few weeks ago, Carl had received an odd mailer that advertised body swapping. Inside the catalog were pictures of various women and men. It seemed a little odd, but he was tempted enough to select a picture and send a check. Delivery was promised in 4-8 weeks. Sure enough, about a month later, Carl woke up with a woman's body. He looked down. The body was just as skinny and pretty as advertised. His only possible complaint might the size of his breasts. He could've sworn they were bigger in the catalog.

What he always wanted.

Chris had dreamed about this for years. He had been obsessed with the idea of becoming a woman, and not just any woman, he dreamed of swapping bodies with his friend, Lauren. It was probably one in a billion shot that when the Great Shift hit, it caused him to become her. It was an incredible dream come true. However, there was also a bit of a let down. He wanted to appreciate the fact that he was now in her body, but he missed the longing. He looked down. His deepest desire had been granted, and now he was left with nothing to dream about.

William was completely terrified. If the genie in his body told him to do anything, he HAD to do it. He was still trying to grasp this thought when she spoke up.

"I'm going to see what the outside world is like. You stay here. I'll be back." She told him.

"You're leaving me alone like this?" William seemed a little panicked to be by himself. He knew he would have to obey the command of staying, but it still made him uncomfortable to be alone.

The genie sighed, "I see you picked that up as well. Genies have a natural fear of loneliness, but it will be good for you."

And with that, she went outside, leaving William. He was scared at first, even more afraid than he was due to the body swap. He didn't like being alone, but then he started exploring his new body. He had to admit, it was a hot body. Plus, he was now magical -- if he could figure out how to use the magic.

Miss Parker

The first night after the Great Shift, many were hopeful that someone would find a way to reverse the Shift or that things would just sort of fix on their own after a certain amount of time. Aiden certainly hoped so. He felt very awkward in Miss Parker's body. Sure, she was one of the youngest teachers at his school, but she was still a teacher and still a woman! In this new body, it meant that Aiden skipped his college years. It also meant he was adjusting to clumsily walk in heels and the awkwardness of wearing a tight short skirt. As the days passed, he became less and less hopeful he'd ever get back to his own body and became more and more comfortable with the fact that he was going to be in Miss Parker's body forever.
