Jeff's life had been difficult the past five years. A broken marriage and his separation from his children had thrown his life into a hole that he felt there could be no escape from his downward spiral. Three years after the divorce Jeff lost his well paying job at the motor plant and was now forced to stock shelves at Wal-Mart. Since the divorce Jeff had not been in a relationship and was struggling to cope with life. Since his wife had kicked him out Jeff was forced to buy a small home on the outskirts of town that he himself hated. It was small, stuffy, and not the property that he had originally payed for.
Jeff was having an average Friday night sitting in his small home watching tv and sipping on a six pack of beer. Suddenly his phone started ringing and he picked it up, "Hello?" Jeff instantly recognized the voice at the other end, "Hey Jeff" answered Jeff's ex-wife "I need to talk to you about the kids." Jeff chuckled, "What about the kids?" Mindy, Jeff's ex, said, "I was wondering if you could watch them this weekend? My boyfriend and I are going to Florida and I need someone to watch them." Jeff, excited to see his children which he hadn't seen in a year, answered yes and learned that his son and daughter would be at his house tomorrow night. Jeff thanked Mindy and hung up the phone.
As Jeff hung up the phone he heard a loud crash in his back yard. "What the fuck?" stammered Jeff as he got up to see what was going on. A small crater was steaming in Jeff's back yard and he walked over to look at it. On the ground there was a cantaloupe sized rock. Jeff reached down and poked the rock. Surprisingly the rock was cool to the touch, but as he touched it a crack began to appear on the stone. Suddenly it cracked open like an egg and two necklaces as well as a metal plate were inside.
Reaching in, Jeff pulled out the necklaces and inspected them. They were made of a shiny platinum material and was a series of chains intertwined and only one had a large gold pendent at the bottom. Confused, Jeff examined the metal plate and was astonished to discover English written on it! The tablet read, "HELLO OWNER OF THE NECK-LACE PROTOTYPE. THESE NECKLACES ALLOW THE WEARER TO TRADE HEADS AND ASSUME THE LIVES OF ONE ANOTHER! CERTAIN TRAITS MAY ALSO BE EXCHANGED. BE WARNED! ONLY THE WEARER OF THE NECKLACE WITH THE PENDENT WILL BE AWARE OF THE CHANGE! ALSO, A PAIR OF PEOPLE MAY ONLY SWAP ONE ANOTHERS BODIES ONCE!"
Swap heads? How could that be possible? Jeff looked at the necklaces and grabbed the one with the pendent and put it on and stared at the other one. Jeff thought, "If I'm going to swap heads I want to know it." Jeff looked at the other necklace and began to ponder what to do. These necklaces were probably fake, but they could be real. Jeff then looked across the road towards his neighbors the Watalskis. The husbands name was Tim. He was 48 and the local orthodontist. Tim was one of the wealthiest men in town and he had used that wealth to acquire a trophy wife, Susan. Susan was as beautiful as can be. She was 25 and had the body of a model. Before meeting Tim Susan was a cheerleader in college and then worked at the local strip joint Catz.
Looking at their house Jeff knew what to do. He went inside, grabbed an envelope and put the other necklace inside of it. He then wrote on it Tim Watalski. Jeff then walked across the street and put it in their mailbox. Jeff grabbed his necklace and smiled at the possibility of being Tim.
Jeff went back inside his house and continued to drink beer thinking of the possibility to be a different person. As Jeff continued to drink, he eventually passed out. Jeff was awoken by a jolting on his neck. Jeff opened his eyes and saw that it was 10 in the morning and then he felt a chocking feeling around his neck. Jeff looked down and saw that the necklace had tightened around his neck and was almost chocking him. Jeff smiled as he realized that he was about to switch with Tim. Suddenly Jeff felt his head lower into his torso. He smiled as his head eventually lowered all the way into his torso. When his head disappeared he lost all feeling to his body and everything went dark. Suddenly Jeff could feel again but everything was wrong.
His head slowly began to emerge again, but as it emerged he saw a mirror in front of him and wanted to vomit. Jeff's head was emerging from the body of the 25 year old Susan Watalski! He watched in horror as his head popped out of Susan's body dressed in a purple top and a pair of the tightest shorts JEff had ever seen http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2428/3944... Jeff's jaw dropped as he began to walk around in Susan's high heels and as he ran his hands down her slender form. Jeff was dumbstruck when suddenly he heard a voice down the hallway
