You weren’t entirely sure of what Social Position would do, so you decided to do a swap you could reasonably predict. At least for now. Eventually you were planning to do a lot more with the remote and try out every button. For now, it was to have fun and get rid of some of your responsibilities. Smirking, you raised the remote and pressed the button. Time froze around you as the display lit up and you selected the Life Swap button. The squirrel was hanging onto the tree, unaware of what was happening.
Life Swap was chosen because you figured if you were living as a squirrel, you wouldn’t have any responsibilities. No owner would try to take you with them to places. No chores would be required. You could do anywhere and do anything. Since you lived in the suburbs too, people couldn’t go hunting. The last thing you needed was someone trying to shoot you because they saw you as a squirrel. That’s what you predicted Life Swap to be anyways. Assuming you assumed correctly.
Your finger came down and hit the button.
The next moment, you found yourself clinging naked to the side of the tree. Right where the squirrel had been. Panic overtook you for a moment as your hands and feet scraped against the tree trunk. Somehow, you were able to hold on and not fall. Now that death wasn’t imminent, you paused to look around. You were indeed on the tree and butt naked. Glancing back at the house, you saw a squirrel in the window wearing your clothes. Nothing fancy, some shorts and a t-shirt, but it was still a squirrel wearing clothes!
A laugh escaped you for a moment before you pulled yourself up the tree and onto a branch. Thinking about it, the branch wasn’t big enough to carry your weight, but it was holding. Same way that your fingers held you up on the trunk. The Life Swap must have made it so you and the target could truly live each other’s lives. If you couldn’t climb trees, that meant you couldn’t do squirrel things.
“Woah…” You gasped. “I can jump from tree to tree or on top of houses! Plus no responsibilities!” You raised your hand and cheered before grabbing the branch and steadying yourself. A couple kids passed by on the sidewalk and one glanced at you for a moment. Being fully nude, people would probably freak out at your appearance, but the kid just kept going. Thanks to the remote, you were now a squirrel to everyone else.
“Remote!”
You panicked for a moment before finding the remote in your hand. Breathing a sigh of relief, you were afraid you might have lost it. If you did, you could never return to your life. Not that you were planning to do it immediately, you just wanted to have some squirrel fun.
