Episode 5

You have made some interesting transformations in this series and I am anticipating what might happen. It would be rather interesting if all of the guys were to become girls and the girl would remain a guy.

Jennifer could have Barry's body and Barry could have Jennifer's body, and they could remain lovers. The other guys could have any girl's bodies.

Mac:

I’ll post the longest episode yet sometime tonight. There will be another body switch, but it’ll be different from what we’ve encountered so far. It appears that it’ll set a trend for what’s to come, but I’m often as surprised as any reader might be by where the story takes me. As of now, I have some idea about how the story-after the game ends-will end for Barry (although that could change), but I haven’t a clue as to how it will end for the others. From now on, each episode will be much longer, and each should be a complete story. The game will be the glue which ties them all together. I welcome all suggestions.

I hope all the body switching hasn’t left too many people confused. Although it’ll continue, it will take a different tack. It should be easier to follow.

You were going great through Episode 5. However, the strange twist in episode 6 seems to distract from the story flow.

I agree with you. Episode 6 does interrupt the story flow. It’s taken the story in an entirely new direction, but the story was beginning to bore me. It began as a novel way to castrate some people, but I would like to use it to explore other things. I could have ended the story, but I liked the characters and felt that the game theme provided me with a vehicle that would transport me to where I wanted to go. It also gives me a chance to pose alternate endings to some of my other stories. I think that it will make a better story. Give it a couple of episodes. I think that you’ll find that it still has the flavor of the Jumanji game. Barry, as you’ll find out in the episode I posted tonight, comes back to the game.

Although I didn’t think of it when I started, the direction the story is taking reminds me of “The Illustrated Man,” the story in which each of the Illustrated Man’s tattoos told a story.
