17. Bea's eyes were a darker blue, holding years of wisdom.
18. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in November 2019 when Tommy played with his toy cars.
19. The living room carpet served as a perfect mini-racetrack for his cars.
20. Excitement gleamed in his eyes as he pushed a red toy car around, making zooming sounds.
21. His favorite was a blue race car with yellow flames painted on it.
22. He was wearing a green t-shirt with a picture of a dinosaur and faded blue jeans.
23. In Connecticut, 41-year-old Laverne Hamilton was shopping at a grocery store.
24. Laverne was 5'4", shorter than both Jennifer and Emily.
25. She weighed 160 pounds and kept her dark, curly hair in a short, practical style.
26. Her brown eyes scanned the aisles as she pushed her shopping cart.

28. Her pants were white ankle-cut slacks, fitting snugly but comfortably.
29. On her feet were tan Birkenstock sandals, worn from frequent use.

39. Her nails were painted a chic maroon shade.
40. Slung over her shoulder was a brown leather purse.
41. Inside the purse was a wallet, a phone, keys, a compact mirror, lipstick, a pack of tissues, and some mints.
42. Laverne was buying essentials—bread, milk, fruits—as well as some beer and a bottle of red wine.
43. At the checkout, she began to place her items on the conveyor belt.
44. "Would that be cash or card?" asked the female clerk with a polite smile.
45. Laverne's ID was checked as she pulled out her wallet to pay.
46. In Topeka, Tommy yawned, his tiny figure growing still.
47. His eyelashes fluttered as he fought to stay awake but eventually lost the battle.
48. His spirit began to ascend and then speed away, moving faster than the wind.
49. Unwittingly, Tommy's spirit left the familiar confines of his home and headed eastward.
50. Passing over cities and states, he found himself in Connecticut, racing right towards Laverne's body.
51. Suddenly, he felt a strange whoosh as his spirit entered hers, merging seamlessly.
52. Tommy's eyes opened, finding himself in an unfamiliar body at the supermarket checkout.
53. The clerk, assuming she was addressing Laverne, repeated, "Would that be cash or card?"
54. Confused, he looked down to see a feminine wallet in his hands.
55. He glanced around, bewildered by the sight of his newly brown skin and polished nails.
56. His outfit was completely different—flowy and floral, confounding him further.
57. "Sis, you good?" asked Patricia, misinterpreting his confusion for hesitation. "If you need, I got this."
58. Her tone was naturally sassy, her sentence peppered with a hint of accent: "I got'chu."
59. Tommy's mind raced, unable to comprehend the sudden transformation.
60. Patricia stepped in to pay, aware something felt off but unsure what.
61. The group walked out to the parking lot, with Patricia periodically checking over her shoulder.
62. Rosalind murmured, "You sure you good to drive, Laverne?"
63. "Girl, you lookin' a lil' lost," she continued, concerned. "Want me to take the wheel?"
64. Tommy, still disoriented, climbed into the driver's seat, staring at the form he now inhabited.
65. He squeezed his new brown eyes shut, willing himself to wake up from what seemed like a dream.
66. But reality stayed firm.
67. "Laverne? Seriously, honey," Patricia said from the passenger seat, pronunciation showing her regional drawl. "Speak to me."
68. His hands, now smaller and more delicate, held the steering wheel shakily.
69. He tried to think, could he even drive? He'd only seen grown-ups do it.
70. Patricia, noting his hesitation, spoke up again: "Alright, enough of this. Switch with me."
71. She got out of the car and came around to Tommy's side.
72. Tommy, overwhelmed, hesitated before finally getting out of the driver’s seat.
73. Patricia scrutinized him but said nothing, her eyes narrowing slightly.
74. They switched places, and soon they were driving home.
75. Laverne’s usual confident demeanor had been replaced by Tommy’s evident confusion.
76. "I don't know what's gotten into you," Rosalind remarked from the backseat.
77. "A bad dream, maybe?" Tommy guessed out loud unknowingly, unfamiliar with Laverne's mature voice.
78. Patricia and Rosalind exchanged nervous glances.
79. They had no idea the real Laverne was somewhere else, and in her place was a now-frightened little boy.
80. As they pulled into the driveway, Patricia put the car in park.
81. "Let's get this sorted at home," she said as they all stepped out.
82. Inside the house, they began to unpack the groceries.
83. Tommy, or Laverne as everyone saw her, clumsily handed over items, unsure of what each was.
84. "You okay?" Nathan asked, puzzled.
85. "Yeah, you and Kayla put these away," Patricia directed.
86. "Laverne, sit with me a minute," she instructed in no-nonsense tone.
87. Tommy timidly followed Patricia to the living room.
88. She motioned for him to sit on the sofa.
89. "What's going on?" Patricia asked carefully, "You seem off."
90. Tommy stayed silent, it was all too bewildering to articulate.
91. Patricia tried again, softer this time: "Is something wrong?"
92. Tears welled up in Tommy's eyes, but he quickly forced them back.
93. "Just... tired," he choked out, finding it difficult to speak.
94. Patricia seemed to believe this for now.
95. "You should rest," she said.
96. "Long day," Rosalind suggested, patting Tommy's shoulder.
97. Tommy nodded, trying to understand all he heard.
98. "Maybe a nap will do you good," Rosalind added.
99. He stood up, realizing how short-statured this form was compared to an adult.
100. Slowly, he made his way to Laverne's bedroom.
101. It felt strange – the floral comforter, the framed photos – all signs of a life far from his own.
102. Tommy felt a hint overwhelmed looking at the personal touches around the room.
103. Leafs of memories swirled in his mind as he tried lying down.
104. Fear of the inexplicable settled over him like a heavy blanket.
105. What would happen to his real body back home?
106. Would he ever return to it?
107. Questions spiraled endlessly.
108. He considered telling someone but thought they might not understand or even believe him.
109. A wave of exhaustion washed over him, stemming from the day’s surreal experience.
110. Tommy dozed off, hoping things might somehow make sense when he woke up.
111. Several miles away in Kansas, Jennifer noticed Tommy napping.
112. She went to check on him, surprised he’d fallen asleep so quickly on the living room rug.
113. "Must have tired himself out playing," she thought.
114. Little did she know, her son’s consciousness was miles away.
115. Back in Connecticut, Tommy slept fitfully, experiencing flashes of his old life.
116. Just before dawn, he awoke, disoriented by his new surroundings once again.
117. He reluctantly got up, deciding to brave the day.
118. Laverne’s reflection in the mirror looked back at him, but it didn’t feel like home.
119. As the house began to stir, Rosalind checked on him: "You okay, sweetheart?"
120. Reflexively, Tommy responded, "Yes, Grandma."
