"Ahh shit!" you groaned, after waking up and glancing over at the alarm clock on your bedside table. You had overslept, and for a moment you thought you thought it had all been a dream. Had you really bodyswapped that brother and sister yesterday? You had no way of confirming it at that moment. You wiped the sleep from your eyes, kicked the bed sheets back and got out of bed to freshen up.
"Guess I'll find out if it was a dream when I go outside" you muttered to yourself, heading into the bathroom.
By the time you had got dressed and had something to eat, another half hour had passed. Looking at the downstairs clock in the living room you saw that it was now 10:08am. You grabbed your jacket and rushed downstairs, eager to see if your power was real, or if it had been a strange dream. After stepping outside you looked around, the street wasn't as busy as it normally was, because of the time most people were now either in school or at work.
"That'll teach me to oversleep" you sighed.
In the street however were several possibilities:
A. The postman, himself late delivering the mail, was talking to an attractive, middle-aged woman in her bathrobe in her doorway.
B. A woman in her early 30's, who had dropped her eldest son off at school, was returning home, her 5-year old daughter was walking alongside and her 14-month old baby boy was in a baby buggy that she was pushing.
C. And finally there was a muscular man fiddling with his car engine, and walking...or rather shuffling along the sidewalk was an elderly woman, probably in her 70's who was heading home after going to the local store for some milk.
The choices weren't spectacular, you knew that, but your fingers were itching. You held up your right hand and stared at your thumb and middle finger for a moment. "If this works...I'm gonna have so much fun" you grinned.
