Humans of the Great Shift 3

 Isac (23)

“Alright kiddos, I’ll pick you up at 3 ok? be good for the teacher!”

“Sorry about that, anyways, where were we? It’s funny, i didn’t exactly expect to be raising a family at 23. I mean, i was fresh out of college, dating a few girls here and there but nothing long-term. I always figured that would be a “later in life” kinda thing. To be fair though, i didn’t exactly plan on the Great Shift putting me in the body of a 40 year old asian woman when i was out at the store getting groceries either. Didn’t exactly help that i have no idea what happened to the woman I swapped into - Maybe she’s in a baby’s body or something, i heard that could happen. Anyways, she had her two kids along with her when it happened and it wasn’t like i could just abandon them. Funnily enough the twins ended up in each others’ bodies so I don’t think they even realized what happened! I ended up taking them to  my new body’s house to see if anyone she knew would pick them up, but when no one came, i guess i became the de-facto parent to these two.

I moved into her house after a while, it was easier with all of my body’s clothes and the kids’s stuff all there. Still freaks me the hell out when they call me “mom” though. I’m sure i’ll have to explain some things to them once they’re a little older!”

“I’ll tell you what, this isn’t exactly how i had expected to enjoy my retirement, but i’m not complaining (too much)!

I always used to complain about how kids today dress, how they act, how they’re obsessed with their phones… Well, as embarrassing as it is to say, I think it took becoming a kid again to remember just how much fun it is being young! After the Shift puts me in the body of one of the waitresses at my favorite diner, it took about a week of wearing my old outfits before i realized how much more comfortable it is dressing “age-appropriate” and i’m sure with all the energy i have to have fun again the old me would have been yelling about half the things i get up to on the weekends now! I even started posting on the social medias now once i figured out how to make an account!

It’s funny how life works out, isn’t it? They had just made my job redundant after 30 years of working at the same company. I tried interviewing at a few places, but with my resume i could tell that was going nowhere fast. Nobody really wants an almost 60 year old ex-factory worker in this market, right? So i signed up for this community college course for coding, hoping i can get one of those new tech jobs. 

Long story short, I’m about 30 minutes into my first class, feeling self conscious that everyone else in the room is half my age at most, when the Shift puts me into the body of the 20 year old girl sitting next to me!

I gotta admit, while its been a hell of an adjustment getting used to being a girl around my daughter’s age, it’s been nice feeling like i got my whole life ahead of me again!

“Actually, i work right down the road from here. I’m on my lunch break so i thought i’d dip out and get some sun! I’m a marine biologist, I had been stationed out here to study Jellyfish a few months before the Great Shift and put me in the body of some woman sunbathing probably less than a hundred feet from where we’re standing now! It’s funny, you’d think with my job i’d be by the water 24/7 but most of the time i’m stuck in the lab all day. Still, ever since the Shift i’ve been trying to make it a point to come out to the beach and enjoy the little things a lot more often. Speaking of little things… You like my bikini? I just bought it!

Will (25) 

To tell the truth, i’m still getting used to the attention. Before the Great Shift, i didn’t leave the house much, and when I did, i kinda blended into the background, you know? I worked from home, got most of my stuff delivered, the works. 

I guess I’m still the same post-shift, but it’s a lot harder to keep to myself when people approach me every time i go out! I mean, I don’t blame them, I got shifted into my neighbor’s body and she definitely has certain “assets” that made her stand out in a crowd. Unlike me though, she had the personality to match. I’m getting better at it, but it’s not easy having a hot girl’s body without the hot girl confidence to go with it!

Raymond (43)

I get weird looks in the office sometimes, but what, was i supposed to quit my job just because the Great Shift landed me in a model’s body? Sure, i do a little modeling on the side now, but it’s still accounting that pays my bills and feeds my retirement plan.

(Off the record, i have been progressing in my career a lot faster the past few months. Don’t tell anyone, but being the hottest girl on the floor does have its perks! Some of these guys will even do my work for me if they think they have a chance of getting in my pants!)

Andrew (32)

You wouldn’t believe the amount of work it takes to keep up my lifestyle now, and here i thought pretty girls had it easy before all this! Turns out i didn’t account for the hours in the gym, hair, makeup, clothes, everything else that goes into being an it girl. Not that i’m complaining, though, this is like, way better than the life i was living before the Shift put me in my boss’s daughter’s body. I’m just lucky she was waiting for her dad to get off work down in the lobby! I barely even got out of the office before 7 most days, and a few years of work had pretty much drained me of any identity or free time i had outside of that. I told myself if this was my sign then i was definitely meant to take advantage of it. It wasn’t easy, but i quit my job, enrolled in college, and built up a new social life from scratch! It helps that the sorority i joined has so many social events, but honestly, i’ve had my eye on a couple of my sorority sisters for a while… Maybe it’s time i made my move and tried out dating?

“It’s funny, a lot of people struggled with their new identity post-Shift, especially the ones who crossed the gender fence like i did. But me? I can’t believe i’m saying this, but i wouldn’t go back even if i was given the chance! A part of me had always wondered what it was like to be a woman, but now that i ended up in the body of my neighbor Rebecca, every part of it just feels…. right. Dressing up in feminine clothes, doing my hair and makeup, looking down and seeing a pair of breasts instead of my flat chest… I can’t believe I lived most of my life as a man! After a long talk with Rebecca, we decided to switch houses after the Shift - They were about the same size anyways, and when she gifted me all her clothes and makeup and everything else, we figured it would be easier to just move ourselves instead! Besides, it’s not like she misses them in her new body. She ended up as a teen boy! Even people I meet assume i was a woman before the shift by the way i fit right into my new life, but the truth is, I just love being a woman!

Miles (27)

Besides the obvious, i think the height difference was the biggest change to get used to. That and the power dynamic. I used to play pro basketball before the Shift - All 6’7 and 300 pounds of me! When the Shift hit during a game, I went from handling the ball on the court to sitting on the sidelines in my teammate’s girlfriend’s body.

This stays strictly between us, but for the first time in my life i’m the shortest person in any room i walk into, and knowing that i can be thrown around by some of these men is seriously doing something for me. I’ve been trying not to act on it, but god, either the girl i shifted into had a serious size fetish or it unlocked something new in me, because any time i hang out with my old teammates, it’s all i can do to stop myself from throwing myself at them! 

That’s why i’m all dressed up here, actually. I can’t believe im saying this and i’d never live it down if my old teammates heard me say it, but I need some dick, and if it comes from a man twice my size, all the better!
