John was standing in a field near the mansion where he had lived for the last month. He was already wearing the usual long dress to the floor, with a narrow waist and a neckline, which fit snugly against his small thin body. He looked at his miller's palms, which were to match this body. He came back here often, as if hoping it might change him back again.
A month ago he was not Anna, 19 years old, 154 cm, 1797 - the future wife of Lord Henry, now already a wife. Then he was the future groom, a man of 29 years old, 184 cm tall in 2020.
On that one, he and his bride, a few days before the wedding, decided to take a break from wedding affairs and go to the museum.
John loved historical exhibitions, especially about the 19th and 18th century. He believed that at that time everything was much more interesting. Yes, there was no Internet and television, but then there were other interesting fun. Then people talked more, read more and were even smarter. John looked at the pictures of married couples of that time and involuntarily told his bride Sarah
- Sarah, they are so beautiful. If only we lived in the 18th century. Imagine how great it would be.
- Honey, can you imagine how hard it was then for the girls? No, I wouldn't want that for sure
- Stop it. Look at them. Look how beautiful she is. They wore such luxurious dresses and lived on estates. Honestly, I would even wish to be in her place myself.
...
After these words, John opened his eyes already in the body of Anna, who was depicted in that portrait. He stood in the same position as Anna in the portrait next to the same man in the painting. Only everything was not drawn, but real.
The artist had already finished the painting and therefore he let the future husband and wife go to go about their business.
In the first days and especially minutes, John was in great shock from all this, but later he calmed down and began to think critically.
Anna's life was not as colorful as he imagined. Firstly, Anna's fiancé is an old man of about 50 years old who took her as his wife. He was rude to Anno from the very beginning of his acquaintance, and after the wedding, he did not at all think that she was human. Sex was just mechanical in order for Anna to become pregnant and he demanded attention and affection, while he himself said that Anna was ungrateful and that he took her to his rich house.
The dresses that John admired so much turned out to be very uncomfortable and difficult to wear. Besides, as a man, it was terribly humiliating to John, like everything else he had to do. The whole world now seemed to him because of his height more and more terrible, he could not argue or say anything to anyone. He was told that his place was next to her husband, he should be silent and carry out duties around the house. And after the children are born, raise them
It so happened that at that moment Anna also made a wish, she thought that being a man is better, that her life is bad and wished that it would change.
The universe heard their desires and swapped them
...
The only thing that John himself could now do was go out for walks near his husband's house, which did not allow his wife to go out into the city. His ideas about the life of a woman in the 18-19 centuries were completely different and he already terribly regretted what he said then.
