Reality Flux                      by: Paul G Jutras

 

A young man sat back in his chair with his tie on the control panel while he watched a series of monitors and flashing lights. His female partner had kicked off her shoes and were doing her toe nails at the same time. Both with extremely board looks on their faces.

"I took this part time job because it was easy pay for little work." Paul sighed being board out of his skull. "Think we’ll ever make contact with life on another planet?"

"Who cares." Lesley muttered when an alarm suddenly sounded. Paul was in such shock that he toppled over in his chair and landed on top of her. "What the heck..."

"Was that?" Lesley finished the sentence that Paul had started. As they looked at one another’s glowing bodies, they realized that somehow they had switched bodies. "What’s going on?"

Paul watched as Lesley in his body go over to the TV and turned it on. The Emergency Broadcast System showed a male and female reporter talking. The background showed a solar eclipse in the background. "Guess we’ll find out." Lesley in Paul’s body said.

"This is Maggie Moon reporting to you from Station 21." The man said as his arms shuffled the papers before him. "As you can see... Jason Nightmare and me has switched bodies as reports throughout the city has reported."

"This just in." Jason in Maggie’s body jumped it. "The President has just confirmed that the solar switch has been created by an alien race calling themselves the Plexorians and using an maneuver called the Zentarian Roulette. It causes the souls of people to jump into the bodies of whoever they’re touching."

"We got Mike Jones in the field reporting live now." Maggie said as the TV camera switched from the studio to a ten year old with a mike in his hand and standing by an eighty year old man.

"This is Mike Jones here in the city of Fresca reporting live." Mike said. "As you can see, I’ve got a second leash on life while young Ben has been had his life stolen from him as we swapped bodies." The kid held his mike to a red headed man near by.

"Don’t be afraid!" The man declared. "The Zentarian Roulette should soon pass harmlessly over the... city and... God Lord! I’m in Marsha’s body! The Zentarian Roulette must have unleashed a device that causes us to bounce from body to body with those in physical contact. Hold tight girls! With any luck we’ll return to our proper vessels!" When it was done the husband was in his daughter body, the daughter mother was in the husband body and the little girl in her mom’s body.

"This just in..." Maggie said being handed a report. "The aliens have been seen leaving their ships and taking transformed people aboard. The cameras turned to shop a woman being carried aboard one of the saucers with her hands tied behind her back and ankles tied together. She was dressed in a strapless red mini dress and platform shoes as the humanoid walked off in purple and blue suit.

"You’ll be safe in my hands, sir." The alien said. "If the med staff can’t restore you to your body.. you can always become my concubine."

Inside the space ship the aliens tried a person transfer back for the man as he was put in a gown that made his new breasts stand up. The machine made the woman’s body glow, but couldn’t transfer the two back to their proper body.

"Think it can be fixed?" the alien asked.

"The main worldwide ray may be able to fix everyone else, but the fail attempt has made this switch forever." The alien leader said as there was nothing to do but brainwash the captured man into being the aliens bride like he had hoped.

"The lady or gentleman has not been heard from since." Jason Nightmare added as Paul turned off the television. Paul and Lesley then just stared at one another as Paul stepped into Lesley’s open toe three inch sandals.

"You thing the aliens will be turn us all back to normal?" Paul asked as he tried to get use to his new center of gravity in heels. He like the purple paint of on the toes as he seemed to retain Lesley’s memory of a dinner date after work. While Lesley went home for a TV dinner in Paul’s apartment, Paul enjoyed a turkey dinner, which Lesley’s date paid for.

That evening, Ken and Kendra were the same person from alternate dimensions. They were both walking toward 3rd street when the aliens took off and launched the ray that was suppose to change everyone back to normal. When their engines cracked the dimensional barrier, the business man of the 1990s and the secretary of the 1960s swapped worlds and bodies.

"What happened to the city?" Kendra said to herself as she notice the world trade center had replace The Empire State Building as the tallest building. Ken snapped a heel and collapsed on the sidewalk only to look up and see that the twin towers of the world trade center was gone. Brushing the long brown hair out of his face, he looked down at the purse slung over one shoulder and the pink dress that matched his hose. "What happened to the city?" Ken thought.

"Hey Ken!" Darien said as he helped Ken to his feet. It took Kendra a moment for her to realize that he was talking to her. As she stared down at the flat chest and a odd feeling between the legs, she smiled. A man’s salary and respect was something she always dreamed on. "If you want that promotion to board member you don’t want to be late to the meeting."

"This is a nightmare." Ken thought as Kendra’s friend Sandra met her outside of the same office building. Instead of going to a board meeting, Ken found himself in the secretary pool where his only hope for a promotion was to be come the private secretary and possible lover to her boss.

As Paul in Lesley’s body finished a dance with his new boyfriend, he heard a group of guys talking to each other another a trio of girls in a booth. Lesley could believe what she heard was true when she looked at the handsome men and gorgeous women.

"So you’re telling me that those giggling girls are who we would be if we were born female." One guy said to his two friends. "When the aliens left all of us ended up in the same world...making them perfect wife material."

"That’s right!" The Guy’s friend Tim said. "We do make mighty attractive dames. Since we’re stuck in the same dimension, let’s see if we can get to know them a little better. You may be correct about them being wife material."

"That was how it was five years ago when the changes happened." Paul said as he did Lesley’s former long hair in a bun and pointed to the holo-projection on the wall before the school kids he now taught history to. He had really got to enjoy the textures of make up, nylons, heels and silk dresses. "When I wasn’t monitoring for aliens, this mailman is what I looked like on the day the plexorians arrived on Earth. You children probably don’t remember that people were locked inside one body their entire life. Now that we learned how the aliens switched us, humans can use the new legal system to decide their gender and age."
