My Soul Got Stuck In Another Person’s Body!!

“what do you mean, you lost the stone?” I yelled fiercely to the boys who stood in my front with their heads bowed.

While returning back from China, I knew I couldn’t take the stone with me so I hired a couple of boys or thugs, whatever and I sent them to fetch the stone ahead of me.

That was my only mistake!

I couldn’t book a flight back from China with the stone because I knew it would get confiscated at the airport, so I sent it by sea.

All these boys had to do was to get me my stone!

But now…

I didn’t want to let the stone go. After I had purchased it from Mr Lui Cheng, I possessed it for two straight days, staring at it all day long as invention ideas stormed through my head.

I already had an invention idea.

It was a masterpiece and it had to do with the stone.

But these fools in front of me, lost the stone.

“We are sorry, boss. We were on our way to you, but our car crashed into another car. We lost the stone in the accident. We—” he stopped talking as my hand connected with his face. He staggered back.

“Search for my stone” I yelled

“I’ll kill you if you don’t return with my stone”

I said it and I meant it. I didn’t know I had a violent side but now the stone had brought it out.

I couldn’t afford to get mocked by my fellow inventors at the office, or my bosses, or my parents.

I wasn’t going to fail this time. I was going to retrieve my stone and I would eliminate anyone who stood in my way!

Evelyn

“Where am I?”

“What’s happening?”

“Evelyn Thompson… Evelyn…”

I heard these voices in my head. They were getting more vivid and it felt like I was going crazy.

What the fuck did that jade green mysterious stone do to I and Elizabeth?

I was in the hospital now. As I sat down amidst the rowdiness, I felt uneasy. What was going to happen to Elizabeth? The driver got admitted too. Was he going to be okay? Why did I keep hearing these fucking voices in my head?

Elizabeth’s parents were called to the hospital. I watched as they moved around in panic. They were restless. I was too.

“Those are my parents… where the fuck am I?” I heard the voice in my head again.

No! I wasn’t going crazy. I was sane. I was totally fine. I couldn’t possibly —

“Where’s Evelyn Thompson? Where am I?” The voice rang loudly, through my head again. I looked around. I wasn’t sitting close to anyone. So where did the voice come from?

I needed to see a doctor. I had to before I totally lost it.

I walked straight to the hospital counter, where the receptionists stood and I asked them for the doctor.

They directed me to the doctor who was available and I went straight to the office.

“What can I help you with, Miss” a male doctor who looked in his forties, asked

I gulped. This was going to be difficult to say. What if the doctor also thought I was crazy? Did I need a psychiatrist?

I was going to spit it out now, here’s my chance….

“Um… Sir. I have a problem. I got into this little accident and…” I couldn’t tell him about the stone, I was just going to look more crazy to him if I complicated my problem.

“Uh… I… uh stared hearing voices?” I stared at him intently, to know his reaction.

“What’s your name?” The doctor asked

“I’m Evelyn. Evelyn Thompson”

“Okay. You said that you hear voices?” He asked in a preoccupied tone as he finally looked up from his computer.

“Yes, doctor”

“But you don’t see the person who’s talking”

“Yes”

“You’re having auditory hallucinations” he said, his gaze darting to me and his computer.

“What?” I was confused now

“When did it start. I mean when did you start hearing these voices”

“Earlier today….”

Oh man, I wish I could go into the details. I wish I could say that it was all that darned stone’s fault. Or even Elizabeth’s fault!

“I’m going to conduct a brain scan on you… If that’s okay…” The doctor said

“I’m ready” I bit down hard on my lip.

An hour later, it was completed. The scan and the test results.

“Miss Thompson, I didn’t find anything… I mean there’s nothing wrong with you” said the doctor.

What? I was going crazy here. The intensity of the voice had increased and I kept hearing…

“Who’s this…”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Where am I?”

“Wait. Am I in a hospital?”

I kept hearing these voices over and over.

I was having auditory hallucinations. Yes! Those were the symptoms. But the doctor just said something else…

“Wait! Sir, what do you mean there’s nothing wrong with me? I’m hearing voices. Don’t you get it? I’m loosing my shit here!”

“Miss Thompson, do you have any sleeping disorders?”

“No” I never did

“Have you experienced a brain tumor or seizures?”

“Never”

The doctor and I stared at each other in bewilderment.

“Miss Thompson, are you sure about that?”

“Yes! Fuck! I’m sure!” I yelled, frustrated.

“You know what, I’m leaving!”

I said as I grabbed my purse and stormed out of the office.

This day couldn’t get any worse. It just couldn’t.

I knew what I needed. A nice, hot and bubbled bath and a three to five hour rest, under the air conditioner. Then this nightmare would go away.

I’m going home now! I’ve had enough of this whole day.

But first, I had to use the restroom.

The ladies room was easy to find. I quickly got into the toilet, eased myself and went to the sink to wash my hands.

I looked into the mirror as I washed my hands.

I stared at myself. What the hell was wrong with me today?

I heard a loud scream. It was so loud that I screamed along.

What the freak? What was that?

“Evelyn Thompson?” The voice in my head called

“Yes, that’s me! Who’s that? Where are you?” I looked around. Luckily, I was the only one in the restroom. Anyone else would have thought I was crazy. But then maybe I was, because I was answering a voice in my head!

“It’s me. It’s Lizzie. Elizabeth Monroe”

“Elizabeth?” I asked “where are you?”

“I don’t know, Evelyn. I think I’m inside you.” She said

“Inside me?” I scoffed as my eyes searched round the toilet. I opened every cubicle but there was no one here.

“Stop bullshitting Elizabeth, where the hell are you?”

“I’m inside of you. I don’t know what’s happening, but I see whatever you see. I saw my body, back then, I saw the ambulance you called. I don’t know but I just saw this place… and my parents and the doctor… what’s happening?”

I slumped on the floor. I had lost it. I was done for.

“What are you saying…” I whispered to no one in particular

“I’m telling you the truth. Why would I play games? I’m going crazy here too!”

Wait! Ghost! What if I was talking to a ghost. Maybe Elizabeth had died and her ghost…

But if it was a ghost, I wouldn’t be hearing Elizabeth’s clear voice in my head.

This happened all because of that stone.

I grabbed my purse and brought out the black box where the stone lay.

I opened the box and brought out the stone

“Yes!” I heard Elizabeth’s voice in my head again. “it’s the stone. That darned stone’s responsible for this”

“What’s it about?” I whispered. I was finally conversing with myself. Next level crazy.

“I think it’s magic. I held the stone and my soul entered your body…”

Yes! That was the only irrational explanation to this scenario, we could come up with.

Elizabeth’s soul was in my body!
