Guest Post: Just like my dad (Story 3) (By Joshman)

Story 3

It's been a little more than a year since my dad swapped lives with me. Well to be fair, I did make myself a 43 year old, but he made that the new normal for everyone, and he made me act like him, going so far as to take over his physical labor job, friends, drinking and smoking habits, and so on... Oh, and he blocked me from the Chronivac so I couldn't change myself back, and finally he is and has been stopping me from even discussing it with him. I was angry, and it's not like I'm not angry now, but I have more going on than that. Let me explain.

One of the stranger things that happened was that I started a budding romance shortly after I was fully turned into an adult. My son could still use the machine, so I expected this was his doing. I could have reclaimed the emitter and uninstalled the program, but even I don't know how I'd get it back, so I'd just be making us stuck this way. Though I admit, it's hard not to play the role he wanted me to play. I had butterflies, used moves I didn't know I had... probably didn't have until my son set me up, and sex is so exhausting and wonderful...

6 months later, we were moving in together. I turned 44, I would have turned 17... I saw my son developing into a strong young man again... but not like he described his high school life when he was the father. He's pulling A's and B's, and not even in sports. I was told he had all C's and D's and his life revolved around sports the first time around. I think... I think he's actually trying.

The last year has been a whirlwind, figuring out I'm bi, finding Alec, figuring out how to be a father... It has been a lot, and I wouldn't wish what happened to me on anyone else, but I am happy.

Now in the present, Alec and I knocked on his door. "Hey son, can we come in for a minute? We have some news for you." He called back, "Yeah." We entered, nervous and excited smiles dancing between us... My son saw our excitement and lit up. "Let me guess, you're getting married!"

We shared an excited giggle, "We hadn't even thought of that yet, but we probably have to in order to adopt."

My son's face was filled with shock, then something else... "Adopt?" he asked as if he just realized he facilitated his 17 year old starting a family. Alec was understanding of my son's reaction and we didn't let it dampen our spirits.

Guest Post: Just like my dad (Story 1) (By Joshman)

Story 1

I was 16 but... Wait, I'm already getting ahead of myself. When I was 16, I dreamt of being strong like my dad. My mom left the picture when I was 3 and dad never explained what happened, he just always.. got distant... if I brought it up and would spend the next night drunk which, in general, was unlike him. Besides that though, my dad was always great, and my idol, and I wanted to grow up to be just like him. But being a lanky, rail thin, teenager with hormones and acne to spare, but no rights or respect, left me wanting to be an adult yesterday.

The ad for the Chronivac promised to change everything, and despite it sounding way too good to be true, I couldn't stop myself... using my new kids account debit card we just opened to hold my birthday money, I dropped 29.99 +S&H on the Chronivac emitter. I downloaded the program from the site, which didn't flag my antivirus program, and was ready for the device to come. A week later, a package was waiting for me when I came home from school. I tried it, and it worked! I looked like a popular jock!

I freaked myself out imagining dad coming home early and catching me.So I changed back and went to my homework. This went on for several days as I explored the multitude of options the device offered. Beard, body hair, tattoos, hair color... It didn't take long for me to plug into my fantasy and become like my idol. Really all I did was change my build to muscular and change my age to 43. I was so engrossed with myself I didn't notice my dad as he came home. He caught me sitting in the recliner, then standing up, and repeating the motion, appreciating how different it felt carrying so much mass while also having so much muscle.

The next bit was a flurry of emotions and panic from everyone, It's hard to remember the specifics of what was said, but I ended up showing my dad the Chronivac, showed him my profile and all the features I found... He tested it and next thing I knew he was kicking me out of my room. Next thing I remember, I'm watching TV and a kid my age is telling me we're going to stay this way for now. All I could think to say was "Oh, okay."

I just know how to take his place and nothing seems amiss. I need coffee every day to keep from getting a headache, I smoke a pack a day, I know all his coworkers and how to do his job, what bills to pay and when... I've been forced to take over his life. I started dating, which he never did... I suspect he set us up to placate me and I just know how to excel in a relationship too.

I tried to bring the switch back up 100 times. I start but as soon as I come up with the sentence in my head I need to go outside for a cigarette, or grab a beer and pull out my phone, or get excited about a sports game going on, or decide to plan a date, or find a chore I've been meaning to do, or a project to start... My brain just can't focus long enough to have the conversation.

I tried going to the machine directly, I can read just fine but anything in that program, even in a picture of the screen, is as good as being in another language! So is the help manual, and any website discussing it... so customer support is a no go. I wanted to be more like him, guess I got what I wanted.
