Can you hear me, Mr. Thompson?

Image
“…Can you hear me, Mr. Thompson?” Eric groggily opened his eyes, his vision adjusting to the sight of a man in a suit standing where he had been expecting his surgeon to be waiting for him post-surgery. “Whahappened?” He groaned groggily, his voice sounding strangely high pitched as his eyes slowly focused. “Don’t worry, you’re safe. You’re still in the hospital, but there was an incident during your surgery. During the operation, an agent of ours was shot and exposed to the compound while attempting to secure it. He was rushed to the nearest hospital for treatment before the compound’s effects were completely understood. Unfortunately, its level of contagiousness was severely underestimated and a number of patients and staff located in the surgical wing were infected before its spread was contained. You are one of those people.” Eric tried to force out a laugh, more to clear his throat and get his normal voice back than anything else. “So, what does that even mean? I have some kind of...

From football practice to pilates

  “Hey, D, over here!” Marcus beckoned from the car window, getting the attention of his friend as he walked out of the lecture hall. Derrick looked around for the source of the noise, his eyes widening as they settled on the white woman calling him over with the nickname only his best friend used instead of his full name. “You gotta be joking, i dint think you were serious! how long has it been like this? You’ve been terrible at football practice and acting weird the past few weeks at school but i just figured you were freaked out about final exams, not… this! Who is she.. you.. whatever I’m supposed to call you!” Marcus sighed, brushing a strand of blonde hair behind his ear in a habit that was starting to feel more and more natural the longer he did it. “That’s what I was trying to tell you over the phone before you thought it was a prank call and hung up on me! It’s this white lady who lives in some house down the street from me! Remember that electrical storm a few weeks back ...

Witness Protection

Image
James still couldn’t believe this was his life now. One wrong turn down the wrong street after work and he had suddenly become the star witness in a massive criminal case and the reason a notorious mob boss finally ended up in prison.   With all eyes on him after the case, he was given an option: Either go home without protections, or enter into a new version of the Witness Protection Program, designed to make participants disappear from the public eye for good. Not only would he get a new identity, they’d be giving him a completely different body as well, modifying him until the man he used to be was only a distant memory. He could walk right past the men he put away and they wouldn’t even notice. And as attached as he was to his own life, James valued his safety more. Hesitantly, he agreed, and when their van came to pick him up in the middle of the night, he did as they said and didn’t bring so much as a change of clothes to remind anyone of his past life.  30 minutes later...

Long Distance Great Shift 11: Italy to India

Image
Luca was trying hard to keep his cool, but he was starting to see no other option. He had been on the run from the police for weeks at this point, counting the hours before they burst through his door and sentenced him to years in prison. But now, as he weighed his chances of being caught, he realized he was now facing a very different type of life sentence. The Great Shift had placed the young Italian man into the body of a middle aged Indian woman, taking his youth and his masculinity away in one fell swoop. Now, as he paced around her upscale Mumbai apartment, an idea was forming in Luca’s head. Whoever’s body he was in now, the original owner was nowhere to be found, and judging by the state of chaos India was in trying to keep track of over a billion swaps, Luca was guessing that as long as he kept his head low, he’d be able to slip into this woman’s life without raising too much concern. From what he could tell from her phone, which thankfully opened at the sight of his new face,...

Maintaining his cover

Image
Sinking back into his chair, Antonio couldn’t believe what he was hearing. An accomplished secret agent who specialized in infiltrations, he had been placed into the body of a high ranking Italian mafia member’s wife in order to collect evidence against him. For days, he had been taking on Adrianna’s role as a housewife, all while searching for anything that could link his new husband to a crime. He hadn’t found anything though, and time was running out on the operation with nothing to show for it. When his extraction date finally arrived, he met his contact in the cafe they had agreed upon at the start of the job. Antonio wanted nothing more than to complete the mission, but he was growing increasingly anxious to get out of Adrianna’s body. She was gorgeous, yes, but he could feel her husband grow more and more demanding for sex, and he could only avoid him so many times before he’d blow his cover. What scared him though, was how much his body wanted it. As days passed, he found himse...
