Tapped

Ryan had been alone in the room since the start of the experiment. The room contained very little except a door with a slot, where food would be inserted, a bed, a toilet and sink, a video camera, and a television with a feed of what the camera saw. For the first few days, Ryan was simply bored out of his mind; on the fourth day, things got interesting. The experiment had certainly begun! The figure on the television was no longer him; it was a woman who mimicked his actions exactly. A quick inspection revealed that he was now that woman. He tapped on the camera to be sure, as he noted that the person on the television did the same. He wondered if they had somehow transformed him or if they had switched his mind with a woman in an identical room. This experiment would certainly be interesting.

After a few more tests with his latest Beta, Marcus was pretty happy with the results. There was only one problem. On his latest test, he didn't seem to be able to get back to his own body. He was stuck as Katie! He returned to see his friend Will. Of course, this time he wasn't looking to trick his friend, he needed his help. When Marcus approached, Will noticed him.

"Marcus?" He asked.

"Yep," Marcus nodded, "I need your help..."

It took a few more days, but Marcus further perfected his invention. He was now able to possess Katie without the need of the helmet. In fact, the latest leap meant he didn't even need to trick her or get her permission. He could just flip a switch and suddenly he'd be her. It'd be even more fun to tric Will now.

Helmet (Part 1)

Will was beside himself when Katie started talking to him. He didn't know what to say. She was so cool and attractive; he was a dork! For the first minute or so, he just let her do the speaking. Then she paused; he opened his mouth but nothing came out. Katie returned the silence with a smile. But there was something oddly familiar about that smile.

"Did you figure it out yet?" Katie's body confessed, "It's me, Marcus. It wasn't exactly easy to get Katie to wear my latest invention, this odd helmet. Once I activated it, I could take control of her body, which allowed me to play this little prank on you."

"How does it work?"

"I'm at home wearing a similar helmet. My body is in a bit of stasis as it transits thoughts to Katie's body, which in turn is transmitting thoughts to the brain back in my body. But for all intents and purposes, I am her as long as I wear this helmet..."

Back at the Lab

Ryan was running as fast as he could. He knew he was late, but he didn't want to think about what would happen if he was too late. He had a very small window in which to switch back to his own body, the technicians were very clear about that. If they did it too soon, it would fry both his and Elizabeth's brains. If they waited too long, their brains would nest in their new bodies, not allowing the machine to switch them back. They had been mostly forced to stay in the lab, but they were allowed to go out for short walks or lunch breaks. It had been one of those short walks that went on a little too long before Ryan got a desperate text saying the window was open and he needed to get back now. Ryan had wandered quite far, and now he was running to get back before that window closed.

Jason awoke in an unfamiliar bed to the sound of buzzing. He had almost forgotten about the past few days until he looked down to see his new body. The buzzing continued, and then turned to banging.

"Hurry up! You're late!" He heard a voice on the other side of a door say.

He opened up, and a man in a fancy suit rushed him out the door and into a black car. He was driven to a studio, where he was prompted stripped naked, pushed into a dress, and his hair and makeup were all done up. The next thing he knew, he was shoved in front of a camera. It was like he was on autopilot as he posed for the shots. He had no idea what he was doing, but the photographer seemed to love it.

If this was his life now, Jason realized that he really couldn't complain. It was different, but it beat the drudgery of his old desk job. A part of him felt a little guilty. He knew none of this was his fault. He hadn't asked to be in her body -- he hadn't been the one responsible for the failed experiment that destroyed her brain -- but he still felt bad about it. He couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if she had survived with his body instead of him with hers.

The man disappeared into the shadows, leaving Jason alone in the cage. He rubbed his shoulder uncomfortably. He wasn't sure he'd ever get used to this body, but it sounded like he would have to. Part of him couldn't believe his own body was actually gone along with this woman's brain. He hadn't even asked her name earlier. He was going to have to live her life, yet he really didn't know who she was. And hadn't the man said he was going to be released?

He waited for hours, just trying to adjust to this new body. No matter how much time passed, he still didn't feel comfortable. He didn't even notice when the gas filled the room once more...

In a Cage

Jason had a tough day at work. He decided to unwind with drinks at a bar with a few of his co-workers. He ended up staying later than he expected and had a few more than he anticipated. As he stumbled back home, a strange van pulled up beside him. The details were a little fuzzy, but he woke up the next morning in a cage. A eccentric old man in a white coat greeted him from just outside the cage, telling Jason that he lucky to be one of his test subjects. Jason was nervous, but the days passed in the cage without any cause for alarm. That is, until a few days later when he woke up and saw a woman in the cage next to him. She told him that she had been modeling in a fashion show when the lights went out; she woke up here. Jason told her about the weird old man that had greeted him when he first arrived. They didn't have much time to talk before a strange gas in the room knocked them both out.

Jason awoke again in the cage, feeling different. The cage beside him was empty once more, and the doctor was standing in the room once more.

"What did you do to her?" He asked, realizing his voice sounded funny. He looked down to see the fashionable clothes the woman from the other cage had been wearing. Except now, Jason was the one wearing them, and he not only had her clothes...he had her body, too!

The old man smiled, "I think you've figured it out, but let me fill you in on the details. You are the first lucky human to successfully undergo a body swapping procedure I invented. The young woman you switched with was not so fortunate, which means that there will be no reversing this procedure, I'm quite sorry to say. The good news is that as soon as you are well, I will release you. But I will also be keeping a close monitor on you..."

Oh My God

"Oh, My God!" Kyle explained when he looked down. When he signed up for the experiment to swap bodies with a woman, he didn't expect a body like this. She was unbelievably hot. Considering the nature of the test, he expected any woman who would've volunteered to be less than perfect. But this? How was he so lucky? Did they trick her? He didn't care. He was just way to happy with these results.

Tear Up

After an accident at the university science lab, Lewis and Trish had swapped bodies. The two students were told to return in a week, hoping that the device that swapped them would be fixed in that time. They each did their best in the other's body but after seven long days, they were both ready to return to normal. However, things didn't go as planned. The researcher in charge of the project had some bad news. Even with the device repaired, they couldn't seem to replicate the experiment that had swapped them. Lewis knew what was coming. He began to tear up. Then when the researcher spoke the words, "You are both stuck in each other's bodies," he broke down and started to cry.

Pinch Me

It had been months since Doug had agreed to test the new experimental body swapping device. He was one of just a handful of volunteers. Switching bodies with a young Asian woman wasn’t exactly a terrible experience for him, but when the project reported it would too risky to return anyone to their old bodies. For the most part, none of the volunteers actively sought each other out and due to the secret nature of the experiment, they were unable to talk about it with anyone not involved, and it was by pure coincidence that Doug had seen his old body outside the supermarket. But it wasn’t merely seeing his former self that caused his depression to return, it was what it was doing. He nearly burst into tears upon seeing his body making out with another guy!

“Someone please pinch me and tell me I’m dreaming,” He cried.

A nearby woman obliged, pinching him on the cheek.

“Ow!” Dough shouted, “Why did you do that?”

“You told me to.” The woman flatly stated as she also gazed at the two men with a blank expression before adding, “And besides, my body is the one yours is making out with.”

Doug looked at the other woman and then back at the couple. She was right. All four of them had been part of the experiment...

In the Money

"Signing up for that experiment was the best thing we ever did, Honey!" Paula exclaimed.

"Tell me about it!" Jay squealed back, "I honestly don't mind being a woman -- being you -- as long as we keep getting paid for them to study us all swapped up."

"I know! Dealing with your rough face feels like nothing compared to how great this money feels!"

Hours of Fun

Olivia had traveled thousands of miles to come to apologize to Sam. After all, the body swap had been her fault. She had made a few minor calculations with the transporter technology, and it ended up swapping their bodies. But when she arrived at his house, she was surprised to find he was all smiles. He invited her in to explain that he had adjusted quite well in the day since the accident. He cupped her breasts, telling her that they were hours of fun. He was sure she would want to switch back once a few adjustments were made to the transporter to ensure safety, but he was in no rush.

Tapped

Ryan had been alone in the room since the start of the experiment. The room contained very little except a door with a slot, where food would be inserted, a bed, a toilet and sink, a video camera, and a television with a feed of what the camera saw. For the first few days, Ryan was simply bored out of his mind; on the fourth day, things got interesting. The experiment had certainly begun! The figure on the television was no longer him; it was a woman who mimicked his actions exactly. A quick inspection revealed that he was now that woman. He tapped on the camera to be sure, as he noted that the person on the television did the same. He wondered if they had somehow transformed him or if they had switched his mind with a woman in an identical room. This experiment would certainly be interesting.
