This Isn't My Body

It was a regular October night when I decided that it was time to go to bed. I usually fall asleep around ten thirty at night. That night, I had the weirdest dream that I can remember. I dreamt about myself but then of my body changing becoming someone else. I finally woke up and walked slowly to the bathroom because I had to somewhat use the restroom. I looked in the mirror as a young woman and then I screamed and actually woke up. I sat up in my bed and realized that I really was awake and that I didn’t have the form of a woman. I slowly rose and when I arrived in the bathroom for real this time, I saw a face of one of my friends staring back at me but I couldn’t tell who it was. I tried to wake myself up, however this was not part of my dream. I went back in my room freaked out more than I ever have been. I took clothes from my dresser and I had my own clothing in there. I decided on wearing sport shorts and a t-shirt, which is what I would wear anyways. I walked to the second floor of my house and upstairs was my sister and said to me “Why does Christian get to have a friend over?” I walked around ‘my’ house and I decided on cereal and went through my day like I normally would. Until, late at night was the first time I saw my cat Schwartz and I picked him up. I stroked his belly as he likes me to do and he clawed me. As I dropped him, I sneezed and remember that I have a friend who is allergic to cats. I then knew whose body I was in. I ran to the garage and decided on biking to the house of my friend. His house was in biking range because it was only about ten miles away. As I got there, I was greeted with, “Oh, there you are honey!” It was the mom of my friend and I saw ‘myself’ behind her watching television in the den. I approached him and trapped him in there and demanded a response to why I looked like this. He said that he met a special genie and that he could only do one thing. The only thing that he could do was make someone swap a body of their choice for 24 hours. He decided to pick me and one event led to another to where we are now.
