I trudged through another incredibly boring day of school when it happened. I made small talk with my friends, ogled some of the hot girls, sat through a few boring classes, typical school stuff. And then, second period came and that's when it happened.
To this day, nobody still has a real idea how it happened. At least, the public has no real idea that is. I've heard some of the conspiracy nuts on a couple of the message boards I stumbled upon say that it was some kind of mad scientist experiment for the government that got out of control. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I don't know. Truthfully, I don't really think it even matters. I mean, they reported that 90 percent of the world just up and switched bodies and to this day we still have no way to fix it.
It screwed people up. People died in accidents of all over the world or when they couldn't accept their new bodies and committed suicide. I'm not saying it was Armageddon or anything like that, but it was a time of great confusion and panic. Even now, things haven't really returned normal, but everyone has adjusted. Sort of. I mean, it was easier for some people than others, given most people switched with people who were close to the same age or gender. That wasn't always the case though. I as I heard a kid a grade below me got switched into some old guy who was in the middle of a heart attack.
Anyway, my point was that I don't think the cause matters. It happened, and what's done is done. Like I said, almost the whole population of world switched bodies. I, of course, wasn't an exception. One minute, I'm listening to my teacher give some boring math lecture, and the next, well, I definitely wasn't myself. That's for sure.
