When I woke up... I was in a different body.

No more debt, and so much younger! ... ... ... But i still had the passwords to all my financial acccounts.

Walking outside seemed to shownthst I was not alone, everyone had swapped bodies, everyone was freaking out.

No, wait, the financial details wouldn't matter, nothing would.

I only had a few hours! I had to hurry!

I rushed to the nearest police station and walked inside. Half the officers had the minds of kids, most didnt speak the same language I quickly and confidently walked back to find the armory. I was in luck, everything was locked but the keys were hanging on the wall. It seems that security was lax back here only serving as an administrative aid to track who checked what out. I grabbed two large range bags and sharted shoving ammunition inside, buckshot and 9mm pistol rounds. There didn't seem to be any rifles.

In the second I put in as many of the shotguns and handguns I could.

The bags were heavy digging into my shoulder and hand as I walked to the parking lot. The doors to the car were locked. Knowing most police cars are keyed alike I left the bags by the car and went back into the station. And took the keys off a fat older man who was crying like a baby... Poor thing probably was a baby. And would likely die of dehydration, unable to help themselves... As I walked to the door I looked back. Then took his cell phone too. It would only be useful for a few more minutes, maybe a few hours.

I loaded the car making a few trips. Then using the cell phone drove off to a grocery store. Pulling around back behind the store I loaded one if the shotguns and emptied out one of my duffle bags.

Walking armed into the store I focused on grabbing canned food, beans in particular, a can opener and some plastic spoons. Then filled up a shopping cart with water. And some lighter shelf stable goods on top.

Some stupid idiot tried to stop me, asked why I was looting at a time like this.

I was honest.

In less than an hour the power grid will fail. TOTAL collapse as the people who manage it 24/7 are not where they are supposed to be. Water will fail after that, likely fires are springing up all over as people who were cooking, or in factories mentally swapped bodies. The whole world is about to fall to shit.. If I were you, I would gather as much as you can, and find the car for whoever's body that is and leave town. Everyone is going to be dehydrated and if they live long enough starving. This is about to become a battle royal where people will kill each other to take their food and water... Then they will hunt each other as food."

His eyes went wide as I spoke, and he ran for a cart.

I loaded up my car heading for a sporting goods store. I needed shelter, clothing and tools which could all be found there.

Most people were still walking around in a daze, and cell service was failing from overload as people tried to call loved ones... A stupid gesture, as no one had their own phones.

After the sporting goods store, my car filled up with supplies and guns literally to the roof I stopped at a gas station and filled my tank.... Moments before the power failed.

After grabbing a handful of paper maps from the gas station, i drove out of town. Just as the looting picked up to full steam... People just now realizing the world as we knew it was over. ...
