It had been a long time since Kevin had swapped into Hayley’s body. He had no idea why he had nearly given up his body swapping lifestyle for love. It had been so stupid. As he stood on his balcony overlooking the sea, he reflected on how much fun this life had been. Hayley was such a beautiful woman, but all good things must come to an end. She was a model, and although he had enjoyed posing for pictures and getting dressed up at first, it had become a bit boring now.
Hayley’s body attracted a lot of attention, mostly from men, which had been fun, and he had enjoyed himself. But he felt like he needed a change maybe someone a bit more low key. Attractive, of course, but someone who blended into the background.
Kevin had one last great night as Hayley, but as he went to swap into his next body a very shy but cute woman he had met at the club, who he guessed would love to be Hayley but as he reached out to grab her arm, she moved, and he accidentally swapped into the body of the massive bouncer who was dealing with a drunken guy.
Kevin looked back at Hayley’s body, which stood there in shock, its hands feeling Hayley’s beautiful body. Trying to correct his mistake, he lunged back towards Hayley’s body as the shy, cute woman had already moved away, but the bouncer in Hayley’s body reacted too quickly. Kevin stumbled and fell into a group of young lads.
Kevin was causing chaos. He grabbed the leg of an unsuspecting spectator and swapped into his body.
He looked over at the bouncer’s body as it began to panic and push its way out of the crowd. Kevin was now in a man’s body and wondered if this one would do for now. He could no longer see the shy woman his original target or Hayley’s body. He imagined the bouncer was long gone in it for him it was some upgrade.
He looked at himself in the club’s bathroom mirror and swore.
The guy was a loser one of those creepy nightclub blokes who drank non alcoholic beer and stared at women. His shirt was tucked into his trousers.
This was no good.
As he re-entered the dance floor, it was carnage. He just needed to leave. This had been a disaster.
Suddenly, a woman threw a drink into his eyes, temporarily blinding him. Then he got a kick in the balls and fell to the floor.
“That’ll teach you to touch my friend!” she said as Kevin struggled to catch his breath.
He got up and wiped his eyes. He saw the woman who had kicked him disappearing into the crowd.
The only route to the exit was blocked fights on one side and people still dancing on the other. There was only one way out.
He swapped his way through the crowd until he reached the exit in the body of a heavily tattooed, short haired waitress.
He had left a trail of body swap chaos behind him.
As he stepped out onto the street, he looked at his reflection in a shop window and said,
“She’ll do, I guess.”
He had no idea where to go or what to do. As he thought back on the terrible night, he realised he had lost Hayley’s body, failed to swap into the woman he had originally wanted, and had swapped around about a dozen people in the process.
Kevin, however, was not too bothered by the chaos he had caused as he carried on walking.
