Role Exchanger: New Life
On reflection Chuck did pretty well out of the Role Exchanger. The flickering alien light had visited his town while he was out shopping and the first he had known about it was when he was caught up in the panicking crowd. He had tried to run but there was no escape from the inexplicable force. All around him people had begun to change. Right next to him a middle-aged woman had swapped ages with a teenage boy and taken on a set of tattoos from a burly trucker. The trucker meanwhile had grabbed at his crotch clearly in some distress. Near him a blonde girl was gasping in shock as a bulge formed in her tight skirt.
Nobody in the mall was unaffected but some changed more than others. The black man from the coffee place turned into a cute Asian chick for example while a bald man only sprouted long blonde hair.
Chuck could only gape as changes swept through the crowd and then it was his turn. Whatever intelligence controlled the blue light had clearly singled him out for special attention. The slightly overweight forty year old accountant found himself twenty years younger and female after swapping age and gender with a college age girl. He also slimmed down dramatically as he gained the girlish figure of a young woman as she came running out of the gym. His new face and silky hair came from an unfortunate beautician along with a whole bunch of knowledge about how to look after his new look. Things he’d never even thought of before, like how to put on makeup and what outfit to wear to get a guy’s attention. He had know way of telling where his accountancy skills or went or where the life times experience as a construction worker might have come from. And he didn’t even notice that his sexuality had been switched until much later.
After the Role exchanger had finally finished it’s work Chuck and the others like him had taken a long time to adjust to what had happened to them. In fact some of them will likely never come to terms with their changes but Chuck had accepted it quicker than most. He figured the important thing was he was young and healthy and he found that he quite enjoyed the attention his new body got him from men. The prospect of starting a whole new life with new challenges and a whole new skill set was more exciting than anything he had previously experienced.
So he set out find his new place in the world. He rejected the idea of becoming a stripper or a model, although he had the looks for it he didn’t quite have the nerve. Instead he used his new skills to go into construction. It hadn’t been easy to get a start looking like he did but once he’d got a foot in the door proven himself hard working and able.
