STORY STARTER

In a classic body swap scenario, you wake up as a famous philosopher, about to give a grand speech on the meaning of life to thousands of people.

What will you tell them?

Send Help to Professor Bonhart

“Jim! Jim! Wake Up! You’re on air live in five minutes!”

_What kind of crazy dream is this? _ I thought nearly aloud as I sat upright in a stiff suit on the edge of a cool, professional chair. It only took a second for me to recognize, through some mean trick, I no longer appeared to be Susan Estrada.

What’s worse than this discovery was probably the secondary discovery. Not only did I somehow change bodies, I became someone I must somehow know. The neame Jim rings a bell. The room is familiar. _Wait, isn’t that MY waterbottle? _ I must’ve left it on set the other day.

“Do you hear me Jim? I know everything’s been a bit crazy lately, but pull yourself together. This is maybe the most groundbreaking speech of your life! Your whole life’s work up to this one moment. ‘Professor Bonhart; The Grand Finalé: Life and It’s True Purpose’”

This time I noticed the middle-aged small, thin man by my side. His eyes wildly scanning my surroundings, mentally prepared to take down the threat he knew was coming for ‘My work’. _Poor Melvin, _I thought, _He can’t tell it’s too late, the works been stolen or swapped… _I don’t know how it happened or why for that matter, but the pieces began to fit together.

I’m in the greenroom. The very one I worked in not three days prior. Except now somehow I am the respected Professor Jim Bonhart. _God help me!!! _THE JIM BONHART. Some how switched bodies with small Susan Estrada, a seventeen-year-old from LA visiting over spring break and an amateure of a photographer who happened to snag a chance interview with Rebecca Soles, a professional photographer and journalist if ever there was one!
