Ko-fi
They're calling it the Great Shift. Hell if I know what's so great about it. In its wake came anarchy. Nobody knows who is in charge anymore, or who is who at all. Prisons emptied out overnight, inmates roaming free in their acquired bodies, murdering and stealing. People wearing the bodies of cops take what they pleased. The Police, FBI, CIA, judges, politicians, almost the entire backbone of law and order are now scattered to the winds in bodies unsuited for authority, or on the other side of the planet. The president himself is in diapers for crying out loud.
Resources are getting scarce. Nobody knows how to do the jobs their bodies once did. The global supply chain collapsed. They say the oceans are adrift with thousands of cargo vessels captained and crewed by people who’ve never seen a boat in their lives. Thousands of planes fell from the sky in the minutes after the Shift.
I’m one of the unlucky ones. I didn’t even get a flesh and blood body. I woke to find myself trapped in this fuckdoll, my humanity stripped. I barely made it home through the chaos. My house was deserted. Whoever or whatever is in my body, it isn’t here now. Maybe just trying to get back to their family, same as everyone else.
I hear looters next door. They’re moving from house to house, scavenging anything they find. I'll be damned if that includes me. I’m under no illusions what awaits me if they get their hands on me.
Whatever happens, they’re not taking me alive. Assuming this rubber body of mine can even die.
