When Charlie woke up, he saw that he was in someone's bedroom. Someone was snoring, right next to him, so he looked to see who it was. It was a man, but no one he knew.
He got out of bed and looked at the clock. It was the middle of the night. How long was he gone?
He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror, not really surprised by what he'd find. As he expected, he was now a woman. She had a slight bulge in her belly, indicating that she was probably pregnant.
He sighed. Was this what his life would be like? Hopping from life to life, changing more and more people as he went? He didn't want any part of this "experiment", but he had a feeling that if he didn't go along with it, the ones running the show would make him go along with it. At least if Charlie was in control (or mostly so), he could keep reality from changing too much.
"Honey, are you okay?" the man asked, from the bed.
"Uh ... yeah," Charlie answered. "I just couldn't sleep."
