The next thing I knew I was waking up on the floor of a bedroom. I opened my eyes and moved my head very little to gather just where I was. It was a very plain room with next to nothing on the walls. In the corner of the room I spotted a suitcase. Putting two and two together I guessed that I was in some sort of guest room. Sitting up I felt as though my chest was being pulled down. Looking down, I saw two breasts contained within a white tank top. As I brought my hands up to my chest I noticed how they looked smaller and feminine. As I broke my gaze away from the orbs of flesh on my chest and looked around the room I felt something tickling the back of my neck. Reaching to grab it and take a look, I brought a handful of long brown hair that was attached to my head underneath what felt like a baseball hat. Putting all these clues together, I shot a hand down to where my penis should have been, only to feel a empty nothingness between my legs. As I stood up and felt the full effect of gravity on the this body I walked over to a mirror in the corner of the room. Walking over to it I was in awe of the person looking back at me, mimicking every move I made. Noticing a phone poking out of one of the pockets of the jeans I was wearing, I had a sudden impulse to take a photo of myself ( https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736... ).
I stood in front of the mirror for a few minutes until I heard a door behind me fly open, hitting the wall with some force, and a girl who looked to be about 17 or 18 stormed into the room. “What the hell Brittany?” She asked me, obviously angry about something.
“Um, who?” I asked.
“Don't play stupid” she replied. “I know this is your fault. Now give me back my body”
‘She thinks I'm this Brittany person, and I'm somehow in her body’ I thought to myself. “Um, I'm not who you think I am” I started. “My name is Nick Donnelly. I was just falling asleep in my science class when all of a sudden I'm here”
“Oh. Well, I'm sorry then for yelling at you. I thought you were my cousin and she somehow stole my body”
“Don't worry. I can completely understand” I said. “I'd probably have reacted the same way if I woke up closer to my body”
The two of us awkwardly stood there in silence for a few minutes until the girl who barged into this room yelling spoke up. She told me that her name is Sarah, she's 19, and both grew up and currently lives in Texas. Although her family was visiting her Aunt, Uncle, and cousins in Alabama. After we properly introduced ourselves to each other we went to the living room and turned the news on to try and figure out what was going on.
"For those of you just tuning in, the mysterious event that hit the world recently been named The Big Swap by news organizations across the world” said the male anchor. “Apparently, an unbelievable 95% of the world has found themselves in a different body. At approximately 10:40 this morning, the strange occurrence started in the U.K. and made it's way around the rest of the world, hitting America’s eastern shores at 10:45”
"Also" said the female anchor, “It has been confirmed that this is not the action of any known terrorist organization, and world governments have not released any further statements regarding this event. I'm Joe Kent, bringing you the news."
"And I'm Kelly Jordan" the man said. "More details on this story as it emerges”
“Well” Sarah started as she stood up and looked out the window. “I guess we're stuck here for a while”
“What makes you say that” I asked.
“Well, there's about 4 cars wrecked right outside the driveway and they don't look like they'll be moving any time soon”
“So what now?”
“I don't” Sarah started before she was interrupted by a cell phone going off. Looking around I suddenly realized that it was coming from my pocket. Pulling it out, Sarah asked “Who is it?”
“I don't know” I said. “Someone named Amanda Hernandez”
“That's my next door neighbor. Here, let me answer”. As Sarah answered the call she went off into another room. Not wanting to butt in I stayed in the living room and continued to watch the news, which was distributing the same message. Nobody knows why this happened or who is who so get inside and stay inside. It was almost 10 minutes later before Sarah rejoined me in the living room. “That was my mom” she said. “Apparently my parents both ended up in the bodies of our newlywed neighbors”
“Well, at least they're together” I said.
“Yeah. I told her we're going to start getting ready to drive to Texas as soon as possible”
“Wait, what? Were you not paying attention to the news. They've been saying that it's not safe to be outside right now”
“We'll be fine” Sarah said.
“What makes you say that?”
“Well first there's 2 of us, which is better than 1. Secondly, my dad and uncle were planning a hunting trip so if someone does try and hurt us we have weapons”
“But do we have a car to get there with?” I asked.
“Better” she replied. “Follow me”. I followed Sarah out to the garage, where she showed me a truck that blew my mind. “This is my cousin Austin's” she said. “He got it a few years ago and had been putting a ton of work into it”
“And you think he's gonna be fine with us taking it”
“Well, considering he's deployed to to some Middle East desert right now and I'm the only person he said can drive it while he's gone, yeah. I think he won't mind.
“Oh” I said.
“I should have this up and running in a few hours. Why don't you go to my room and start packing my clothes up”
“Why do I have to pack your clothes?”
“Because they are yours now. Do you think they'd fit me now?”
“I guess your right”
“Cool, so let's get to work so we can leave as soon as possible” Sarah said.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
