Being able to swap bodies with whoever he liked gave Kevin great power, power he had no intention of using kindly. He swapped into people he knew and hated, like Vera, an old high school crush who had not been kind when she rejected him. Now, he used her body to taunt her and would quite happily share his nighttime activities, determined to make her regret ever turning him down.
After being in her body for about a month, he decided it was time to swap back. But when he got a call saying Vera’s mother was coming to visit, that changed everything. Vera was sure her mother, Wendy, would realise something was wrong, but what actually happened was worse.
Pretending to be Vera, Kevin tricked Wendy into believing that an old ring of hers could swap people’s bodies.
“It really swaps people’s bodies, Mum. How about we swap for a day or two, just like in the movies?” Kevin said, watching Wendy’s eyes light up as she agreed to try it.
Kevin watched from Wendy’s body as Wendy stared at her daughter’s body in shock. Vera could only watch helplessly from Kevin’s original body. Kevin had now managed to put Wendy in her daughter’s body while taking Wendy’s for himself.
Wendy now fully believed the ring had caused the swap. Vera had to live with the knowledge that her own mother was out enjoying her youth, unaware that she had allowed Kevin into her body.
The problem was that Kevin grew tired of bodies quickly, and Vera knew it. So, when he finally decided to take his own body back from Vera, he realised the ultimate revenge would be leaving her trapped in her mother’s body.
Wendy was sad, but not heartbroken, when the old ring Kevin had lied about failed to swap their bodies back. She had enjoyed her newfound youth and moved on, leaving poor Vera stuck in her much older body.
