"It was just a normal Tuesday. I went to sleep after a long day of work, head spinning from deadlines and stress. But when I woke up, something felt… off."
"The room looked familiar, but different. The posters on the walls weren’t mine. The laptop on the desk had a name I didn’t recognize. And when I looked in the mirror…"
"I screamed."
"The face staring back at me wasn’t my own. It was a girl — early 20s, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a look of pure terror. I ran to the bathroom, splashed water on my face, pinched myself — nothing changed."
"I was trapped inside someone else’s body."
"I found a phone and scrolled through messages. Her name was ‘Avery.’ She was a college student. Total stranger. I panicked. Was this a prank? A dream? A medical experiment?"
"Then I got a call. From her mom."
"'Good morning, sweetheart! Ready for your big interview today?'"
"I couldn’t tell her the truth. So I played along. I faked it. I got dressed in clothes that weren’t mine, grabbed a bagel, and walked out the door like everything was normal."
"But then… I saw *my* body walking across the street."
"Literally. There I was — same face, same build, same exact jacket I’d worn to bed the night before. Talking to a guy I didn’t know, laughing like nothing was wrong."
"That’s when I realized… this wasn’t a mistake. This was intentional."
"Someone switched places with me. And they were living my life — while I was stuck in hers."
"Now I have to figure out who did this… and why."
