Jon thought about his life before he got zapped, and he hated it. He didn't used to hate it. But now he did. He was so ... ordinary. Like everyone else. He didn't stand apart. His lack of nonconformity disgusted him. How could he have wasted away all those years?
Zoe thought about her life before she got zapped, and she hated it. She didn't used to hate it. But now she did. She was such a ... freak. Dressing like a vampire and acting out all the time. She was disgusted with herself. How could she have wasted away all those years?
The doctor walked over and helped Zoe out of her chair. She looked down at herself in disgust. She remembered putting that outfit on that morning. But now it seemed all wrong. She'd rather wear something normal like a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. Maybe she could barrow some of Jon's clothes.
"Come on, doc. Get me out of this fucking chair," Jon ordered.
Zoe turned and looked at her brother at the sound of his voice. He sounded much angrier than normal. By now, it was obvious that something was different, that they actually had swapped personalities. But it was still jarring to hear Jon talk like that, even though Zoe herself talked like that just an hour ago.
"Hold on, I'm coming," the doctor said.
"Jon, don't be such a brat," Zoe said.
"Fuck you, Zoe. I just want out of this thing."
Zoe turned away, getting angry at Jon's words. Was that really how she acted before? Now she hoped she never returned to normal.
