Waking Up

“Time to get up sleepy head. Your usual client is here, I hope you don’t mind but I’ve already taken the liberties of prepping you,” Daren heard an unfamiliar voice speak.

Daren opened his eyes to see a short young woman standing over him. She had emerald green eyes and black hair in a bob cut. Her face was round and made her look younger than she actually was. He then looked past her and saw that this wasn’t his room, he was on a much larger bed which had a lovely canopy. Daren tried to sit up so he could get a better version of the room but he could feel his body. The lady standing over him reached down and placed her hands at the side of Daren’s heads. She then lifted him up in the air and placed him on a metal tray.

Daren saw long strands of blonde hair around the base of his neck as it had nowhere else to go. He was beginning to make sense of the situation. He was currently just a head, not only that but he was a female head.

“What’s going on? What are you doing to me? Where’s my body?” Daren asked in panic with a voice that wasn’t his own though it was a voice he thought he had heard before, he just couldn’t place it just yet.

The lady picked up the lid to the serving tray and was about to lower it when she paused. “Like I said Ma’am, your client is here so I’ve got to get you down to him. As for your body to save on some time I have already taken the liberty of disassembling it and sending the parts to the appropriate clients. You’ve got a bit day today so it’s best that we don’t waste anymore time.” The woman then lowered the lid onto the tray, blacking the world out.

Daren was panicking as he was in complete darkness, being carried off to who knows where. He tried to yell and scream but the lid enhanced the sound to a point where it hurt him. He felt himself being placed somewhere before it felt like he was descending an elevator shaft. He sat there for a short while before being picked up again after another short distance the tray was lowered and the lid came off.

In front of Daren were the legs of a man in a suit, sitting on a couch. The legs stood up as two hands grabbed Daren by the side raising him up to eye level of a man with short brown hair. “Linda, darling!” He said in a flamboyant voice as he turned Daren to the side to kiss him on each cheek. “How are you this morning?”

“Linda?” Daren asked to himself. “I’m….Linda?”

The man put Daren down for a moment and gave the assistant a funny look. “Can I speak to you for a moment?” Daren couldn’t see the assistant’s response but seeing as the man left she had obviously agreed.

While Daren was left alone he began to think about his situation. He was in a rather expensive home, he was now a woman, named Linda, and his body was gone. He had been on a website last night that had the actress Linda Summers photoshopped as a disembodied head and he himself had made the request to live one day in her life. The admin he had been speaking to mentioned about how they would pass on the request to Linda implying she had consented to those images and stories. ‘So…’ he thought. ‘What if these requests are real? What if I am Linda Summers and she is me? So I’m living out my fantasy of living a day in her life but that requires also living out as other people’s fantasies?’

“What have I gotten myself into?!” Daren screamed out loud.

He felt two hands pick him up from behind and was carefully rotated to face the man again. “What indeed?” The man asked amused. “So you and Linda body swapped? I didn’t know she would allow people to do that,” he seemed to like that idea. “You are going to be in for an eventful day and well I think you have made my experience more entertaining as well,” the man said with glee but Daren could even see the lust in his eyes.

“So what is it you want from Linda? Or should I say me?” Daren asked concerned.

The man placed Daren down on the coffee table. “Oh you don’t need to worry about me, I get a kick for looking after Linda’s head. I’ll brush your hair, do your makeup, feed you breakfast then brush your teeth, that sort of thing. We’re only together for the next 30 minutes or so before you’ll be moved onto whatever else you’ve got scheduled for today.” The man was giddy with excitement. “Oh this is going to be so interesting, I’ve never done this for anyone else but Linda.”

The man picked up Daren, holding him uncomfortably close. He headed over to the dining room and placed him on the large table. The man then swept Daren’s hair behind his head so it was running down the table. The assistant entered the room with another service tray and placed it in front of Daren. She removed the lid and revealed a wonder looking breakfast, which included bacon, sausage, eggs and toast as well as a glass of orange juice.

The man grabbed a knife and fork and began cutting up the food before serving it to Daren, piece by piece. It was completely humiliating but Daren just kept accepting it as he did enjoy the food and he didn’t want to anger this person. He wondered where the food went as after he swallowed it it seemed to vanish. His best guess, given the situation he found himself in, was magic.

After he finished eating the man took Daren up some flight of stairs and into the bedroom he woke up in. He was then taken into the en suite and placed in front of the basin. The man grabbed a toothbrush and began brushing Daren’s teeth.

Next he was brought back in front of a vanity mirror pulled out the makeup kit in one of the drawns.

“Now usually I ask Ms Summers what she usually like but I’m guessing is you’re not sure,” the man commented as he began with the foundation. “So today I’ll style you at my discretion.”

Daren just sat there as the man applied the makeup to Daren, giving him soft pascal lips, a light blush and some eyeshadow to make his eyes pop. Next the man brushed his hair and began placing bobby pins in as he tied Daren’s hair up into a mid ponytail. Finally he got some earrings out and placed two small studs into Daren’s ears.

“My don’t you look lovely,” the man said as he picked up Daren and spun around. “I could kiss you, if it weren’t against the terms and conditions.” The man placed Daren down on the bedside table. “Well that’s the end of our time together I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.”

Daren could see how much this guy enjoyed it and he certainly didn’t feel the same way so he just gave the man an awkward smile as he left her room.

The lady who woke him up this morning entered the room once again, holding a wooden mount with Linda’s name engraved on a gold plaque.

“Well Ma’am it’s time for your second client,” she said as she picked Daren up and sealed his head to the board. She then picked up the board, took him down to the study and placed him above the fireplace. “Mr Hodgens and his hunting club will be here shortly,” the assistant informed him as she fixed up his hair into a better position. Daren tried to say someth but no words came out of his mouth, in fact he couldn’t move at all. “I’ll see you in about an hour.”
