Episode: The Other Side of the Tracks

“Rash of burglaries in neighborhoods has homeowners on high alert and the police has still no lead.”

Said the headline of the newspaper of the paper on the kitchen table.

‘’What a joke!’’

This is my fourth house in two days and still, nobody has even a clue who I am and where I will strike next. The cops are such idiots that I feel almost sorry for them, almost. My “business plan” is quite simple I break into the homes of rich people in daylight because those rich bastards are by then all gone, to their work.

‘’Now what do we got here?’’

I opened the drawer and pulled out a golden necklace with some weird mask.

‘’Looks like an antique, I could sell this shit easily to some pawnshop only the weight in gold could be worth a lot! Hahaha, this is a good day everything goes as planned just how I like it.’’

‘’What are you doing in my house?!’’

A tall muscular man had caught me in the middle of my work, he had seen my face what was I going to do? He had a gun in his hand holding me at gunpoint.

‘’Oh is this your house I thought it was my house you know how al these homes look like on another, right?’’

‘’Stop this nonsense and put down my properties especially that necklace! I have already called the cops they are already on their way I fought you would eventually end up here. Boy, it’s time for you to learn you have to work hard for your money instead of stealing it from others! Now take that necklace of this is your last chance!’’

‘’You’re really attached to this old crap aren’t you huh, I grinned. Sorry sugar daddy but not everyone is as lucky to be so rich as you! I wish you could see how it is on the other side of the tracks, wondering if you would still act like such a big guy! The necklace started to glow with a strange bright glow and then there was a flash.’’

‘’NO STOP YOU IDIOT…’’

…

‘’Ugh, my head! What happened, how long was I out?!’’

I pulled my hands to my throat. ''Wait what’s wrong with my voice it’s so deep!''

I tried to stand up I felt so heavy did that flash made me nuts? I walked towards a mirror but instead of my own reflection, it was…

It was him, that musclebound sugar daddy!

''Holy shit, and that insane necklace!''

I’d always wondered what life was like on his side of the tracks… and now I am him.

Those biceps are massive. I could feel the coarse grey hairs on my face.

I flexed these new arms, watching the muscles rise and fall, a giddy thrill running through me. I removed the turtle neck. M y pulse quickened, a strange mix of shock and excitement. I couldn’t help but grin, almost trembling as I took in the reflection: a short but devastatingly handsome, beefy man staring back. Thick arms. Solid chest. All of it on display for my personal pleasure.

''Hmm… hmm… hmmmmm.''

“This is straight-up Freaky Friday, bruh…” If I’m in his body, then where...''

‘’Oooh… M-must ‘a B-blacked out, feel so… so…''

''No, no. no this can’t be! What have you done to me you thief I’m in your body! I’m Richard Ford, not some criminal!

I have to have to restore this. The necklace provides only one wish per customer! I will make you pay for this kid after this is over!’’

’'I wish I was Richard Ford again!“

’'No, you won’t, gimme that!” I shouted and gripped the necklace and pulled it off his neck and pushed him against the wall with my new body’s strength.

’'Huh? I-I’m still you! But why…?“ My old self yelled while I hold him down with one hand while holding the necklace with the other.

...

‘’Hey, I get it it’s like you said the necklace provides only one wish per customer, and ’'my body” already made his wish but I with Richard Ford’s body didn’t! HAHAHAHAHA not so smart now right huh?''

''I'm the big man now! I have such huge muscles! I have the money''

“Make your wish you punk, switch us back!’'

’'Haha, not a chance I’m giving up this wealthy lifestyle! Besides, an extra bit of arm strength will come in handy."

’'You don’t leave me a choice, this will hurt you more than me!” Richard said and then he kicked my fucking balls!

“AAAAAAHHH you piece of shit!” I fell to my knees, “Yeesh you smashed my balls bro Uuugggghhh Shhit!’'

I turned around and saw my old body with Mr. Ford in it holding me at gunpoint.

’'Don’t worry asshole you won’t have to carry MY damn balls any longer! Now last chance to make your wish and switch us back!’'

’'Alright alright don’t shoot! I will make that stupid wish.” I heard police cars approaching.

“What are you waiting for know?! Do it NOW!’'

’'I wish…”

“Police open the door!’'

’'I wish… I wish, I got ALL your knowledge and you got mine!’'

’'You little R….!’'

The necklace started to glow and the room was lighted up by a flash again.

The Police busted into the kitchen.

’'Police drop your weapon! Drop your weapon!’'

’'Are you alright Mr. Ford you called?” A cop asked me.

“Yes, I’m feeling fine just a little dizzy. This street rat tried to rob me I think he is the one who did all those burglaries in the neighborhoods lately.”

The cops had already handcuffed the real Richard in my body.

‘’No, he is lying I’m Richard Ford not him’!’

’'What a joke if you are Richard Ford what is my birthdate huh? I asked the old Ford.

“Uhm it’s… I don’t remember!’'

How much can I lift? Oh, but if you are ’'Mr. Ford” you should know what my favorite cheat meal is right?

’'I…I don’t remember anything’’… “

‘’255 to 275 lbs and fresh cream cheesecake with blueberries”, I answered with a smile on my handsome face.’’ Crazy, how I now had acces to all of Ford's memories and skills!

“Officers, please, believe me! He used that necklace over there to switch our bodies, and then he stole all my knowledge including everything I know about myself!”

“But of course, never heard this excuse from a suspect they sure get weirder by the day if you asked me”. Said a cop when they took Richard into custody.

...

A few months passed and I’m living my new jet-set-life went smoothly and was kicking my (legal) job with Ford’s knowledge and money I could do anything, I even maintained my amazing physique.

I looked at the paper at the dinner table…

“Burglar who terrorized neighborhoods has been convicted 20 YEARS in prison!’’
