Switch

Write about a character who switches bodies with someone else, much like the mother and daughter in the movie "Freaky Friday." What has made this possible? If it was a conscious decision, who did they switch with and why? How do the two characters come together, if at all? Are they switched back? [Photo credit: YWP Media Library, photo by Anna]

Why Am I Square




“Why am I Square??? And why is everything else Square!!!”

*Steve*

 “Why is everything round? Ummmmmm...”

*Me*

 Silence. “What is this place?”

*Steve* 

“Maybe this is new? I guess I will go chop down a tree.” Walking over to the nearest tree, Steve wonders, why is there texture and why can I feel things? Steve goes over to the tree and starts punching it. Ow! I don't like this feeling thing.

*Me*

 Ooooooooooh. I know where I am. I'm probably just dreaming about playing Minecraft. Although why does it feel so real? I walk over to a tree and just like I always do start punching it. I was scared at first that it was going to hurt because I felt like I was in the game, but I didn't really feel anything. Once I broke a part of the tree it didn't fall over. I was very confused, and then I remembered that I was in Minecraft.

Alicia and I switch



I woke up in a body that I recognized. It was my best friend's body. It was scary at first but then I realized that I could live a different life for however long this body swap is. I  live in a life that my parents have given me. I am truly grateful for the life I have but I have never had to work for anything I had unless you count my grades but I don't think that counts as much. But when I look at Alicia's life she works for everything she has. She is an independent woman and she is the woman I want to be.

I got a text from Alicia or well myself and she told me that she woke up in my body and I told her that I woke up in her body. It was scary for the most part but we both agreed that this is temporary and we both should try new lifestyles for once so I set off for my first day in my new life.
