Sunday Bonus: Change of Colour

 

With my powers I was able to transform any person into another; although this meant duplicates of one person running around which caused confusion at times. A far more practical solution was swapping two people, it was the most magnificent of powers. This is the story of how I sacrificed those powers, and changed me in a way that I never saw coming.

Clive was a black security guard. He was British but his parents were Jamaican. His counterpart of the two man team was Mark. A typical northern British man. They would constantly battle with its better being white and its better being black scenarios. One day I got completely frustrated with their arguments that without thinking I used my powers and instantly swapped their bodies right there on the spot. I had been warning them for months and today was the day I finally did it.
Clive took it really well now that he was Mark and he couldn't thank me enough for he had always wished he was white.

Mark now that he was Clive couldn't stand it. He had never contemplated how bad being black would be. He simply wasn't used to it. I would often find him in the toilets trying to scrub his skin from black to white. He begged me to change him back. It wasn't possible. I wasn't allowed to use my powers to put back what had already been changed. When he threatened to kill himself, things suddenly changed in my head. I had always wanted to try being black so I used my powers for the final time and I swapped myself into Clive's body.
I lost my powers with my nice white body. mark was white again and had inherited my powers. Now that I am Clive there hadn't been a day where I have looked back.
