This choice: Woke up in the middle of the night. • Go Back... Between my dreamless sleep, I woke up never really knowing why. The place around me was covered in perpetual darkness dimpled with the street light outside. Amidst the darkness, I know that I'm in strange territory. The lights are wrong, my bed is wrong, the smell of my room is wrong. But somehow, it felt like home.
Little by little, recollections of yesterday came back to me. The life changing swap. I still had doubts whether those memories were real or fantasy at all. One look at the dim mirror answered my question. Dean sat groggy in front of me. He is as much as confused by then.
I head for the bathroom to release nature's call. It was a long piss and a pleasure one as well. Judging from our talk yesterday, the time must be 3 AM.
Downstairs, I could already hear the clamor of pans and the smell of morning bacon. Mr. McLeary works for the local research institute and it demands early working hours. Dean says the job pay Wells but the bad side is that he does not see his father very much. It's true, I never seen him personally myself.
I decided not to go downstairs for the time being. The smell of bacon tempts me though but nah. Instead, I focused my time fiddling on the Swapp App. I downloaded it first at Dean's phone. It's surprising to think that a few hundred people downloaded the app. There were reviews and all were happy and giving thanks to the creator. The rating the app was given was 5 stars.
The user interface of the App was clunky and not user friendly. They were using the Comic San font for their subtitles and it was a definite no for app designers. At least, it doesn't have ads.
Besides the menu screen where it showed the type of swaps, there is also the preference setting which I haven't been before. The preference setting there were words that I recognize and jargons that I don't. Luckily, there were descriptions to define what each options does.
✔ Auto-Enlighten.
Allows both swap parties to be aware of the swap. Disable so target does not have recollections of the Swap.
✔ Unwanted Swap protection
Protects user against stray swap rays. Does not guarantee a hundred percent success.
✔ Low Battery Mode
Lessens battery drainage by decreasing CPU power usage.
🚫 Dark Mode
Turns the background to black for easy app usage in the dark.
✔ Gamma-Ray shielding
In the case of App malfunction, Gamma Ray bursts have 50 percent chance to happen. Turning this on will prevent unnecessary damage to the user.
🚫 Auto phone transference.
Still in beta test. The phone is automatically transferred to the user in the case of a swap.
I turned on dark mode as the white background is burning my eyes. On Auto Phone transference, I'm having two conflicting thoughts to whether turn it on or remain it off. It could remain handy in the case of swapping with a stranger. In then end it to agree. I also, turned Auto-Enlighten to off.
At the bottom of the preference was a message.
"If any bugs or problems occur, contact me at g@g.org" ~g.
Whether the app was made by the government or some supernatural hooligans, I don't care. Handling this kind of programs makes me powerful. I better message Dean about the settings.
In the morning, I had a small talk with mom. She asked me about school and I said it was fine. Fooling her was easy but not Dean's little sister. She's been eyeing me since the moment I went out my room. She's also asking weird questions like what is my favorite color or what is my favorite food. I knew Dean so I said Brown and then Machias' Peperoni Supreme Pizza. All my answers did not please her and she kept her eyes more on me.
After breakfast, I took a bath at my own bathroom. The McLeary family was rich enough to provide a bathroom for each bedroom. Dean's bathroom was plain, a few stocked soap and a huge shampoo at the side. It's a daily ritual for me to always masturbate before shower. It's now weird, almost all men does it but. They do it but they have no reason to it to others. Today's ritual will be weird as I'm jerking of to a dick that is not my own.
Afterwards, I took another piss at the toilet and proceeded to brush my teeth. It's disgusting to think that I'm brushing on a brush that came from another mouth. But I have another mouth and this toothbrush is for this mouth. So I proceeded with it.
The day outside is nice. Not too hot nor too cold. It's spring anyway and it's time to seize the weekend. Outside, I could see Lauren Teller talking someone to the phone. Dean admitted that even if he was bisexual, he still has a crush on Lauren. I don't really see why she's in to that girl. I admit that she does have some curves and a nice booth. The thing that's giving me off is her attitude. She is so slut material like she's the perfect embodiment of the stereotypical High school girl.
A message interrupted me from my brooding. It's from Dean and he's telling me to choir practice which I have forgotten about. Now, I have a choice. | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
