Switcheroo: A Short Story

Improved Essays
I woke up after two hours of sleep. I had barely slept. I was in shock of what happened yesterday, i was terrified. I was in the middle of eating breakfast when my original body appeared right in front of me! I jumped out of my chair, and fell to the ground. I told myself “there's no way he can be I alive, we all saw it with our eyes, he died!” I was in awe, I didn't wanna raise my head and look at him, I was too terrified. Not knowing of what to say or do, my original body shouted “fooled you!” I asked him “how did you do it? I thought that you were dea-” he paused me right there “look, i new some magic tricks in high school.. I rehearsed that act thousands of times.” I replied “then why did you look so confused when you had to perform the …show more content…
I just continued to cry. While I was crying, my original body was in the living room using the computer trying to find a way to switch bodies. Out of nowhere I hear him scream “ I know how we are going to switch back” he said excitedly “have you seen the movie “Switcheroo”? “what the hell is that?” I said. He replied “you know! That one movie where two random people from across the world switch bodies, and they have to find a way to switch back!” I looked at him having no clue what he was talking about and I nodded. He said “well if we can find two “magic hats” we can switch back!” Nervously I said “well where can we find magic hats” He said “well according to this black market website, they sell them on amazon.” I said “well great order two magi-” He stopped me there “well you see the problem is that the fastest they would come is tomorrow.” I began to cry even harder. He said “oh wait, i think they sell them at Walmart” I stopped crying, stood up fast, and ran. I ran as fast as an overweight guy can run and punched my original body. “Why didnt u tell me sooner?” He said “well I forgot.” We ran towards our local walmart. Thankfully it was five minutes

    Son, Last Sunday the host of a popular news show asked me what it meant to lose my body. The host was broadcasting from Washington, D.C., and I was seated in a remote studio on the Far West Side of Manhattan. A satellite closed the miles between us, but no machinery could close the gap between her world and the world for which I had been summoned to speak. When the host asked me about my body, her face faded from the screen, and was replaced by a scroll of words, written by me earlier that week.…

    Luis, For some reason you feel that you know absolutely everything that is on my mind. I have told you in the past that when I am serious (of which I’ve always been when I am working) it’s either because I’m concentrating on my job or I have too many things on my mind. Since you feel that you can read my mind, therefore, I have an attitude now. Has it occurred to you to ask me exactly what’s wrong, instead of accusing me of having an attitude?…

I fully trust my birth parents, because I believe they know what is best for me. Other than that, I restrain myself from others. I have never been close to anyone besides my parents, my sisters, and a couple of friends.…
