I was waiting for my robot friend when a spell stranger came up to me.
"Hi!" they said.
"Um... hi?"
"Oh, sorry."
My phone pinged with a text from my friend: "Body's in for service, this is a loaner."
"Oh!" I said. "Er... Is it nice?"
"Can't wait to go back. This is..."
"Not you?"
"Not me."

@MicroSFF@mastodon.art Your friend is cheap. Get the loaner with morphic nanites and soul transference... ...I bet your "friend" still owes you that twenty you loaned them years ago.

@MicroSFF@mastodon.art I wonder if there in rent-to-own for the bodies. Or reverse rental. Have an health/exercise guru work your body out, stock your house with a supply of healthy food your body learns to enjoy. Once the contract is up, they move on to changing the next life. #MicroFiction
