The entire family is sitting down at the dinner table and it’s a pretty normal night.
Bob is talking to his wife about an upcoming business trip he has to attended, Lucy and John are playing more than eat, and Joe and Kate are both glued to their phones…
But something strange started to happen, all of the lights began to dim down and smoke started to come out of the floor…
“Bob did you pay the electrical bill,” says Cindy to her husband.
“Yeah of course, what the heck is going on?”
All the sudden, the families clock starts to ding and an eerie whisper comes into the background.
“The Macon Family… it’s time for you to pay for your ancestors debts… The Curse! Begins!”
The lights begin to flicker…
Everyone tries to get up but for some reason they can’t move from their chairs.
“Now for 4 full moons, you shall live in the other one’s shoes…”
Bob’s body starts to shake as a astral form of himself floats out of his body…
That’s the same happens to Lucy… as both of their astral spirits float but of them go straight for each others bodies and disappear inside of them.
Then the same thing happens to John and Joe and then to Cindy and Kate…
Everyone is at the table passed out and in one breath the entire family wakes up.
It takes a sec for everyone to fully come back but it’s Cindy in her father’s body who speaks first.
“Daddy what happened?”
She takes a second and it registers that her voice sounds funny.
Then Joe in his brother’s body begins to freak out, “Why am I looking at myself!?!”
Young John turns to his younger body and his get big. He looks down at his brothers muscular arms and hands.
“Kate?” says Cindy.
“Mom?” says Kate inside of her mothers body.
They all scream and start to panic. Except for Bob.
Bob stands on the table in her daughter body and scream out.
“Everyone calm down!”
It gets immediately silent.
“So I have to tell everyone here something. Years ago our ancestors stole from a witch, now I thought it was an old wise tell my grand father told me but I guess it was true all along. Our family is cursed and now we have to pay the price for the four months.”
“What the hell dad!” says Kate in his wife’s body.
“I know this isn’t ideal but— we can make it work. And by the time fall hits, we’ll be back to normal. At least I hope…”
“Oh my god, I can’t be my little brother all summer long. I’m going to the beach with the boys,” says Joe.
“Well I hate to break it to you but everything is on pause for right now. Now I’m going to write an email to my work that I need to take a very extended vacation and work from home. I’d advise everyone to get comfortable.”
Bob walks off and Cindy follows him.
“Bob how can you be so calm right now?”!
“Well one of us has to be, what else are we going to do?”
“I guess you’re right.”
“Now all of us are going to have to pretend to be the other one until this is over. So, in public I’m Lucy. That means you’ll have to act like Kate.”
“I guess that won’t be too hard…”
