James or Jacqueline, Jacqueline or James?

Image
Jacqueline glared at herself in the mirror as she reluctantly took a selfie, loathing the fact that no matter how much she tried to behave as her former self, this was her new reality and she couldn't do much about it. She knew that she shouldn't have toyed with that strange machine which supposedly had the capability to change reality. And yet, that is exactly what she did, and now she was paying dearly for it. In the blink of an eye, James and everything related to him ceased to exist, and was replaced by Jacqueline , the red-headed young woman who loved taking selfies and wearing the nicest tops and skirts. The worse thing was that the strange machine which had caused all of this was nowhere to be found, meaning that the only thing in the world which had the ability to revert everything and return her to her former self was now lost to her. In other words, she was stuck like this. As a woman. A woman called Jacqueline who remembered every detail of her own life as well as e

Taking A Well-Needed Break

Jakob took a deep breath as he finally found a nice place to stop and calm himself down. He had been jogging for thirty minutes already and he was already starting to feel the tension in his muscles, so he figured that now was the best moment to take a rest before he resumed he continued the second half of his usual morning routine. Nonetheless, he was well aware that he was taking this break not because because he was tired, but because of what had just happened a few minutes ago. [---------------------------] All of this started when he discovered that he was one of the unlucky who were going to be transformed by what was colloquially called Second Puberty , a genetic mutation that would transform anyone who had it into an opposite-sex version of themselves. Powerless to do anything to stop, he could only sit and watch as his former male body began to change. In the two weeks it took for Second Puberty to do its job, h is hair grew long and lush, his face and voice became feminine i

Whatever You Say Big Sister

"Can you please put on a smile?" James (left) pleaded to his brother Michael (right) as he put on a pose. "I don't want you to ruin our photo." "Fine," Michael put on a fake smile in order to appease his brother. "Like this, little brother?" " Big sister you mean," James corrected him. "I didn't end up in this body for you to keep calling me your little brother ." About half a year ago, Michael and James were a pair of siblings who couldn't have been more different from each other. While Michael was a extroverted gym rat who had no problem finding friends and getting the attention of the ladies, James was an introvert who preferred to stay in his home in front of a computer and chatting with his friends online. That would have been the status quo for the foreseeable future, but all of that changed when The Great Shift occurred and like millions of others around the world, they were swapped with other people.

Finally Back

After being stuck in Los Angeles for almost a month, Andrew had finally been able to grab a plane, fly across the entirety of the continental US, and land on New York City where his girlfriend Stacy was going to pick him up. A part of him was glad that he was going to get back some normalcy back to his life now that he returning to his apartment and to his girlfriend. And yet, the other part of him was readily aware that things were never going to be the same again. Specially since he wasn't in his body anymore. The reason he had found himself stuck in Los Angeles of all places wasn't because of unlucky streak of bad weather or a vacation trip gone wrong, but because he and many others around the world, had been affected by a strange event which by now was starting to be called as The Great Shift . Long story short , around 10% of all the human population suddenly got swapped into the bodies of other people for no apparent reason, causing chaos and disorder in every corner of t

Not What We Planned

"Well, at least we're in younger bodies now," William (left) gasped in dejection as he looked at none other than his very own coffin. "We would be dead now if the ritual had been fake." "Yeah, but we were supposed to end up possessing the bodies of our sons," Fernando (right) muttered with an aggressive tone as he looked at his coffin as well. "Not the bodies of our granddaughters ." For as long as they could remember, William and Fernando had been sworn enemies. For almost half a century, the two men had been the heads of the two biggest mafia families in the state of Arizona, always warring and competing with one another so as to make clear who was the strongest mafia boss. But after many years of conflict and with age finally catching up to them, the two old men decided to that it was time to end the feud they had and make peace with one another. There was only one big problem to their plan. Even if they made the necessary negotiations so
