Imagine seven people at a conference table.
On Monday, they show up as usual.
On Tuesday, though, each mind shifts one body to the left. Red's mind is in orange body and so on. On Wednesday, they shift again, so that red's mind is in yellow's body, and so on. By the next Monday, they're back where they started. In one full week, a mind has experienced the life of seven bodies, limited to one day of the week, and then the cycle repeats.
Do these people compete for the bodies in some way, or do they view all seven bodies as a corporeal commons?
Were they always like this, or did they wake up one day to find themselves in this predicament? Did they even know it'd happen?
Most pressingly, who are these people and why are they here?
Check out my blog post "A Week at the Conference Table" on Amazing Stories to see a few of the possibilities that emerge...
