Proving something

-

Son, I must say I'm very proud of you! You proved to me and everyone else that you didn't need to be my son to get where you are!

Thank you, Dad. I'm glad you think so.

But I must admit, your idea of ​​switching bodies with that girl, entering the company at the lowest level and becoming the boss... was a masterstroke. On Monday, I want you in my office - I'm going to make you my right-hand man. You've proven that you're more than capable.

Okay, Dad, but... there's one thing. Janine and I talked it over, and we've decided that we're going to keep the switch permanent. She loved the spoiled playboy life, and I... well, I loved all of this here.

What do you mean? Are you saying you're going to stay like... her? Forever? Are you giving up your inheritance to live this woman's life?

Yes, Dad, that's right. You always told me to be more independent, to pursue my own fortune. And that's what I did. Now that I've achieved a brilliant career, do you want to teach me a lesson?

This is crazy! You traded everything, your entire life, for a momentary whim?

Whim? Not even close. Besides... you have no idea what I'm getting out of Janine's boyfriend... every night. (Laughs with a twinkle in his eyes) You know, being her has its... rewards.

This is... incomprehensible. You're not just taking on a new life, you're... indulging in a fantasy.

Maybe so, Dad. But who would have thought? In this fantasy, I'm much happier, and now I have the world in the palm of my hand. Maybe, deep down, I found the freedom you never had the courage to seek.

A fitting role

 Hank had made the move from his small-town home to a bustling city, where he was staying with a friend of his father's. Lugging along with him only his possessions, most of which were articles of clothing worn down from use. He tried and failed to find consistent work that would get him by, until his roommate proposed a solution: cleaning up the house could pay his rent, plus possibly earn him an extra bit if he was more thorough than previous cleaners. Hank tried to keep up with the house chores as best he could, but it seemed like there was always something new that needed to be done. His roommate, Marcus, would leave messes everywhere and then expect Hank to clean them up. It wasn't fair, but Hank didn't want to cause any trouble.  One day, as he was scrubbing the bathroom floor, he heard Marcus on the phone in the other room. He wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but he couldn't help but overhear the conversation. Marcus was talking to one of his buddies about how he
