Sam Chen, thirteen and sharp-eyed, watches everyone—especially the women in his life. When he steals a machine from the neighborhood scientist that lets him temporarily swap anyone out of existence and wear their body, he transforms his father, then lets his mother kiss him, thinking he's her husband. That night, she takes him to bed, and Sam learns exactly how far he's willing to go.
Sam Chen crouches in the shadow of Dr. Reeves' cluttered desk, the ozone-and-coffee smell thick in his nose. Her back is turned, muttering at a waveform on her monitor. On the workbench sits a palm-sized device of brushed metal and blinking lights – the prototype she'd mentioned once in passing. His fingers close around it, cool and solid. He doesn't know what it does exactly, but her secrecy tells him everything. He slides it into his pocket and backs out, heart a steady drum – he'll figure it out at home. The machine hums faintly against his thigh.
Sam presses himself against the stairwell wall, watching through the window as the man in the gray coat strides toward the main doors. The device hums faintly against his thigh, a cold reminder of what he’s still wearing. His father’s boots shift on the concrete as he weighs the options—wait, retreat, or let the man find him in a body that isn’t his.
