Wake up as someone else. Everything after is your choice.
The first story — Both Hands, Episode One.
No explanation. No way back. Only the question that won't leave: do you resist it — or become it?
Every choice reshapes who you become.
The body remembers what you don't.
Ruin, grace, and everything between.
A full release of Episode One — then new stories, each a different way to wake up in a life that isn't yours. A glimpse of what's coming:
In one silent second, most of humanity trades bodies at random. No cause is ever found.
Two rival interns volunteer to calibrate a mind-transfer rig. Someone sabotages the trial.
A curse on coronation eve — the bodyguard knight and the king's sorceress wake swapped.
A dying mercenary's soul is folded into a noble daughter — at seven. He raises her from the inside.
Two strangers taken from a night road, returned before dawn — into each other. The saucer never comes back.
The machines swapped more than the charts. The hospital insists nothing went wrong.
Two strangers, one lamppost, one storm. The oldest swap story, played straight and tender.
The nerd and the football captain fall down the same stairwell. The social order doesn't survive it.
A villain's body-swap ray crosses a superheroine with a schoolboy. The villain kept the ray.
He gave his daughter a kidney. They woke up having traded far more.
…and more. The chrysalis has more lives to borrow.
Both Hands is the first borrowed life. More will follow.
