I couldn't believe what just happened! In my mailbox, I had received a free ticket to the circus! The strange thing about it, is that it was called the, "Swapping Circus". The back of the ticket said, "An exchange that in an unlimited amount of fun!" Sounded like a hoot, so I went to get ready for it. I plucked my wallet from the nightstand and prepared to venture out, I felt excited to once again visit the circus! As it turned out, the circus was located fairly close to my house. I walked out the door, and quickly jogged down towards the circus grounds.

I reached the outside of the grounds, and walked briskly towards the ticket booth. Along the way I noticed many oddities, such as people who were acting like animals and other people who barely knew how to move at all. It was strange, as if nobody knew how to properly control their bodies. I walked up the ticket booth, and found a strange man dressed up as an orangutan. "What's with the crazy costume?" I asked the guy in the ape costume, "Halloween is three months away!" The man just snorted at me, and took my ticket. He ripped my ticket and let out a grunt, and immediately handed me a small sheet of paper

As he did, I took notice of how insanely real his costume seemed. His thick fake-hair looked like real fur, his plastic gloves looked like real ape-paws and his face looked like something straight from a zoo poster. I decided to ignore it, and journey on my way. As I walked through the circus grounds, I noticed more strange sights. One of these sights was a man standing on his hands and knees, growling at a caged lion. The lion looked extremely confused, as if he had no idea what was going on. Another piece of oddness I saw was at the stables. There were numerous people just walking around on their hands and knees, while the horses in the stable completely freaked out. They were neighing and kicking as the stable doors with their hooves.

I eventually found the midway, and was surprised by the strangest thing I saw yet. Lined up the side of the midway, were numerous caged animals. Zebra, Chimpanzees, hell even Hippos! This circus spared no expense, it was more like a zoo then any actual circus I had ever seen. I then found the strength tester, which was in the middle of the area containing the cages. Instead of numbers lining the meter, along the machine were pictures of animals. "Odd, I wonder why there are pictures of animals, instead of numbers." I thought to myself, as I stared the machine

Just then, I heard a booming laughter from behind. I turned around to see a man dressed in a tuxedo, complete with a black top-hat. The man looked refined, and I figured he was probably a performer here at the circus. "Is there something I can help you with, sir? You look to me, like you're a little confused." Said the man, as he curled his moustache. "Well, I'm just confused by this place is all. All the people act like animals, and all the animals look confused. Is there some kind of gas-leak around here that's causing this?" The man laughed once and walked closer to me, "My dear boy, there is no gas leak! If there was a gas leak, we probably would've evacuated hours ago! Everyone is just having fun."

"Well, I guess you're right. One thing I still don't understand is, how are they having fun? It looked like a bizarre way to have fun." The man gave me laughed once more, "All will be revealed, when you use this strength tester machine. Go ahead, it'll give you all the answers you need. After all, I don't want to spoil the fun." I looked at the man, as he smirked at me. I was afraid that I was in for a terrible surprise, I hoped this tuxedoed guy didn't have any ulterior motives. I spit on to my hands, and rubbed them together.

I grabbed the mallet, as the man impatiently tamped his shoe in the dirt. I heaved up the hammer as high as I could, and slammed it down on to the puck. It went up a few rungs on the machine, until it landed on a picture of a chimp. "So, I'm as strong as a chimp?" I asked, as I turned to the man. "Oh, no at all! You see this machine isn't any sort of strength tester, even the strongest man in the world could've landed on the picture of a baby chick or seal. This machine reads your soul, and chooses a new body that's the complete opposite of it." Stated the man, as grabbed the mallet from my hand.

"What are you---" I began to say, until the sound of my voice trailed off. The bell from the machine began ringing to an insane degree, to the point where I felt like I was splitting in two. As a master of fact, I was splitting in two! I saw my body right in front of me, watching from the outside. I looked at my current form, and found that I was translucent and made of mist! That machine had turned me into a ghost! My incorporeal form floated away from my body, I reached with my hands in an attempt to move my spirit back to my body. It was no use, as I saw a different spirit floating towards it. It looked like a chimpanzee,  yet it was also made of mist.

I turned my back to see where I was floating, and found I was travelling directly into a chimpanzee's path! My soul ghosted through the bars, and I flew directly into the chimpanzee's body. I struggled to get out, and soon found I could move again. I opened my eyes and found the world was in black and white, my color was gone. My body was itchy and uncomfortable, I felt as though someone had glued a bunch of hair all over me. I looked down to see that there was indeed hair covering my body, but it didn't feel like hair when I touched it. It felt more like... Fur! I found that I was locked in a cage, staring out at the midway. I saw my body, crawling around on all fours and acting like a monkey.

I tried shouting at it to stop, but all that came was a low grunting sound! I got nervous, and began scratch all over at my itchy fur. After scratching myself, I felt my face and let out a terrified screech. My face was wrinkly , and covered with dirt and much! I wiggled my toes, and they felt strangely more opposable then they usually were! I looked down, and saw that my hands were feet! As much as I wished this were a dream, I couldn't deny the truth! I had somehow swapped bodies with a chimpanzee!

Suddenly, I heard the tuxedo man's laugh once again, only this time it was insanely loud! "Sorry, if that was too much for your new sensitive ears! Allow me to introduce myself, I am the hypnotist at this circus. This just isn't any old circus though, the swapping circus specializes in swapping the bodies of any and all who enter!" He moved his hand towards me, and patted me on my furry head, "Don't worry, it's only temporary! You'll get your body back at the end of the day, we always swap everybody back before we move on to the next town! Consider yourself lucky, sometimes we don't leave town for a few weeks! Imagine having to be an animal for that long!"

Suddenly, a woman ran up to the hypnotist. "We need our juggling chimp on stage in about an hour, I've come to prepare her for the show!" Exclaimed the woman, as she grabbed the key. "Wait, did she say "Her"? Oh no..." I became aware of the fact that my member was now numb, I looked down to my horror and found that... My manhood had vanished! I couldn't believe that I was a female chimp!

"Alright, I have to get her dressed in a ballerina outfit right and fetch her juggli---" She turned and noticed my body crawling along the ground, "You didn't swap her with a guy, did you? She's going to have self-esteem issues!" Exclaimed the woman, who angrily scolded the hypnotist. "Well, you see, I thought that I should try something different! After all, she won't tell the difference anyway!" Exclaimed the hypnotist, as he attempted to shuffle away. "Aren't you forgetting something? It's the 5 o' clock exchange! It's time for the workers to swap for the day!"

The man hung his head, "Fine... Who I'll just---" Suddenly, the hypnotist fell to the ground and began barking. He ran around barking log, chasing his non-existent tail. "Forgot that the manager brought her golden retriever in today. Serves that man right, for putting a man's soul inside Susie's body!" The woman turned back to me, "Alright, I have to get you prepped for the show, before it's my turn to swap with someone!" She opened the cage and grabbed me, she made me hold hands with her in a very embarrassing manner. "Sorry, this is honestly hurting me, more then it is you!"

We got to the back of the tent, and she pulled out a pink tutu that was designed with chimpanzees in mind. At first, I was resilient and tried to walk away. However, she grabbed me and brought me back to tent. "Look, no one will know it's you! Don't be embarrassed, it happens all the time!" Begrudgingly, I let her fit the tutu over my being. I grunt heavily, as I'm forced into the uncomfortable and goofy monkey-suit. "Don't worry about being bad at juggling, you gained Susie's skills and talents when you swapped!" She took a bag of equipment and motioned for me to follow her into the big top.

There were many performers out there, most of them looked extremely nervous! I assumed all of them were body-swap victims like myself. "Get out there, Susie!" She handed me some juggling balls and picked up a unicycle. I wandered into the second ring, as she followed me with the unicycle. "Hey everyone, it's Big-Top Betty! I hope you all are enjoying your new forms!" Numerous animal sounds were heard from the audience, as if it was a weird kind of applause. "Now, this here is Susie! Much like all of you here today, she was also once human! Now watch as Susie shows you the most amazing juggling ever!"

Betty grabbed me by the midsection, and propped up the unicycle on her leg. She took me, and placed me on top of the unicycle. I could feel my tutu rub against the leather seat, as I placed my monkey feet against the peddles. I could feel the metal touch against my bare monkey paws, as Betty helped me center the unicycle. I started peddling, found it to be rather easy, as I gained new bits knowledge and instincts to aid me.  Betty tossed me the juggling balls, and I caught them midair without a challenge. I began tossing them in mid-air, and caught them all no problem! I juggled for the first time in my life, something I could never do before!

"Alright everybody, Susie will now be your entertainment! If you'll excuse me, I have to go exchange!" Betty exited the main stage, walking with her hips swaying side to side. On her way out, she fell on to her hands and knees and began growling like a lioness! I continued juggling, as other circus performers tossed me more and more things to juggle! I put on a show like nobody's business, maybe I had this circus pegged all wrong! I thought of it as weird, but now I agree with the hypnotist! All that this circus isn't a freak show, it's a barrel full of monkeys!
The third Circus Act story. Like I said, I've only written three of these so far.
