What if I told you that with the press of a button, you could become someone else entirely. Not just an adjustment to your personality, but a whole new body, complete with new memories that triggered new feelings. You would still be you, in as much as you have all your original memories, thoughts, feelings and opinions. Would you do it? Would you press the button and take the role of another person? What if you didn't have a choice?
In twenty four hours, a computer program had already caused great upheaval in the world. It wasn't capable of hacking the defense system and launching a nuclear strike, or crippling the electrical grid by shutting down all the power plants. But it was capable of letting anyone take over a member of the opposite sex. In between Ben Sturgis' video that touted Mind Hack's ability to connect with Peace of Mind's cyber enhancements, and Adam and Dan's fateful meeting with Chance Kirkwood, the world was filled with the possibility of living the life of another person.
If it had not been for the celebrities, a public statement from Peace of Mind about the breach in their security might have been pushed off for a lot longer. But when movie stars, athletes, anyone even remotely famous and attractive all started behaving oddly in the same twelve hour window of time, it was impossible not to notice. While POM was coming to grips with the epidemic on their hands, the stories were pouring out to every media device showing normally conservative starlets flashing anyone and everyone or engaging in sex in very public places. Rich and famous were blowing money on extravagant shopping sprees all at once and then giving it all away to people they seemingly had no prior connection to. Faithful husbands and wives were spotted cheating on their spouses. It suddenly seemed as if every famous person on the planet decided to behave very oddly and often with great inappropriateness.
Each celebrity scandal was reported immediately, but they were just the tip of Mind Hack's iceberg. As it's popularity grew, it became apparent that you either knew about it and were using it, or you were falling victim to it. Those using it were becoming their crushes, their bosses, their next door neighbors, their idols, their fantasies. The only way to protect yourself from it was to use it yourself, which perpetuated more people to use it, all leading to more stories that would not get reported, but would add to the growing chaos.
Todd Flemming was the most popular guy at his university. He was captain of every sport he played, and he played them all. He had seen the news in his dorm room and stared wide eyed as one of his favorite movie stars walked topless down a city sidewalk, striking seductive poses for the cameras flashing around her. He immediately called one of his buddies to tell him to turn on a television because something crazy was happening. His friend informed him that it was supposedly because of this Mind Hack program on the internet that everyone was downloading. It let people take over another person's cyber mind and give them complete control of their body.
Todd hung up while his friend was still speaking and almost tripped over his own feet in his haste to get to his computer. He wasn't a computer genius but he knew how to download a program off the internet. A quick search brought up multiple download options, some of which showed they had already been removed, but more would replace them. He selected one and it was available to open a split second later. Mind Hack's options were now before him and he gaped at all the red dots that indicated people in his sector. He briefly wondered if it was a hoax, but the woman he had just seen strolling down the street with her headlights on bright never did nudity, so there must be something to it. Then he began to wonder who he should be. He quickly decided he would be his cross town rival. That guy had the hottest girlfriend and he would take over his body and then bang his girl. He reasoned he wouldn't be cheating on his own girlfriend because it wasn't his own body. Since he hadn't bothered to read the helpful manual attached to the program, he didn't know this wouldn't be possible, but it didn't matter as before he could try, a spark hit his brain. Todd had the briefest of thoughts , wondering what the hell that jolt was, and then his eyes closed.
When they opened again, his mouth opened wide and gasped as a new occupant took control of Todd's mind and body. He sat upright, looked down, and his eyes stared disbelievingly at his crotch. A hand crept towards it and touched it tentatively. Blood began to flow to his nether region, and an erection began to come to life. "This is freaking amazing!" Todd's voice shrieked uncharacteristically. He unbuttoned his pants and let his sizeable penis fall out. Todd licked his lips and touched the sensitive naked skin and quivered at the pleasure the touch elicited.
"I could try jacking off but...no, I want to try sex. I want to do it as a guy and that won't happen if I jerk it because all you men are one and done." Todd looked at the screen. "Oh, I'm sorry I interrupted you Todd. Looks like you were about to jump into someone yourself. Should have been quicker, a lot of girls I'm sure are finding out right now that I got to you first. They'll just have to wait. I'll let them have you when I'm done fucking your girlfriend. Now, let's see, where does she live?" Memories and images flashed to the surface of Todd's cyber mind, and his guest had her answer. Todd awkwardly tucked his hardened dick back under his underwear and buttoned his pants. He looked around and spotted a bottle of cologne on his dresser. He picked it up and dabbed small amounts around his body which caused more blood to flow to his penis. "Guys either don't wear enough of this, or too much, either way I'm going to smell better than I did before I screw your girl."
Todd's user put his athletic body to use and ran the entire way to his girlfriend's dorm across campus. He knew exactly which floor, exactly which room, but as he approached her door, he stopped. He heard something on the other side. Was it crying? Was someone in trouble? A powerful emotion took over and the new user felt the need to protect this body's girlfriend. He flung the door open, ready for a fight. Todd's eyes showed surprise as he understood the source of the cry. It was probably more of a squeal and a moan because his girlfriend was having her pussy eaten out by her roommate. Todd's user was not a lesbian, but had read Mind Hack's manual and knew that she would be probably be attracted to the female form while in Todd's body. This certainly qualified.
"Oh fuck Gwen! Lick it! Lick my pussy Gwen!" Sherri started shouting, then spotted Todd. "Oh fuck!" Her eyes looked at him inquisitively as if he were a stranger, then recognition. "Todd? Hey Gwen, my boyfriend's here!"
Gwen reluctantly lifted her mouth from Sherri's moist slit. She lick her lips, salty and tangy from Sherri's juices. She said nothing as she reached a hand to Sherri's breast and roughly squeezed it, causing Sherri to let out another delightful squeal. "Turn around Todd," Gwen ordered.
Todd smiled, and did a slow one eighty, knowing what Gwen was looking for. His signal square, the one part of the cyber enhancements that were visible, was blinking on and off, an indicator that Todd was not the one calling the shots. He turned back around. "Satisfied?"
Sherri stammered, "Honey, I'm so sorry. I love you and didn't mean to hurt you. Gwen here just said she wanted to experiment and I thought she looked so cute and..."
"You can stop," Gwen interrupted. "It's not him. Didn't you see his signal? He's been hijacked too."
Todd laughed. "Are you both...someone else?"
"Is that a problem?" Gwen winked before her lips found Sherri and they wrestled tongues for a few seconds. Todd stared with lustful fascination, then started fiddling with his pants.
"Wait," Sherri said breaking away from Gwen's kiss and looked pointedly at the man that was supposed to be her boyfriend. "So, there's a woman inside you right now?"
"That there is," Todd nodded. In his excitement he was less than gracious as he struggled to quickly get naked.
"So...what are you doing then?" Sherri asked worriedly.
