As most authors might claim, I was always been a natural storyteller and voracious book reader. Somehow, I also knew that some day I would sit down and write a book, which I did quite recently.When I finally sat in front of my computer monitor to do just that, the words literally came pouring out. Before very long, I had written many books in various genres.At first, my prolific writing was mainly for the pleasure and self-entertainment involved, until I discocered Smashwords and ebooks, and here I am, a published author with a long list of books to my credit. And many more to come.

Thunderbolt Strike

Chapter One

On their return to their villa style room in Temecula's wine country most luxurious hotel after having eaten a lavish and delicious dinner in the best restaurant in the Valley to celebrate their fiftieth weddings anniversary, Trudy and Timothy Brand decided to continue their celebration. Since it was still rather hot on a May evening, they undressed down to their underwear and went out to the room's grapevine covered patio and sat on the comfortable loveseat and sipped from the excellent split of local champagne while gazing at the star-filled clear sky. They were not just happy to have reached their fiftieth anniversary, but the past year had been quite dangerous for both, which they had managed to survive none the worse for it.

Last year, while on a short trip to Las Vegas, Tim did not feel too well and at Trudy's insistence he went to see his physician the morning after their return. To his utter chagrin the doctor had him rushed immediately to the nearest hospital where he had undergone a triple bypass heart operation, which took him three months to recuperate from, out of which he came a shadow of his old robust self. Then, feeling a lump in one of her breasts, Trudy had it checked out and it was discovered that she was suffering from malignant cancer in both breasts and that she would need to undergo a radical mastectomy if she were to survive, which she agreed to.

We did survive the worst that life had thrown at us during this last year, didn't we, Rudy?

Yes, we did at that. But was the cost of survival worth it? I mean, look at my chest where my great breasts used to be, where I'm now flat as a boy with ugly scars criss-crossing it. And your magnificent cock used to hang between your legs you got a flaccid weenie down there that only good for peeing.

Tim held her hand tightly and kissed her deeply. Yeah, that's all true but we're alive with at least ten more years, by which time hopefully Cindy will be ready to bear the responsibility of her own life.

They had always wanted to have children and tried to have them since a year after they were married, but nothing happened for twenty-five years until Trudy discovered that she was pregnant at age forty-five just at the end of her fertile years. They were both elated to finally have a child despite the fact that Trudy was warned about the difficulties of bearing a child at such an advanced age, which he was correct about because she had to undergo a Caesarian section and nearly bled to death.

But it was all worth it, both thought when they saw Cynthia for the first time. She was a rather sickly girl, and despite being quite bright she became very shy as she grew up and had no friends to play with. They hoped that once in college Cynthia would overcome her social deficiency but it did not happen as she joined UCLA as a freshman at age sixteen because of her brilliant mind and graduated two years later. She received her PhD. in computer science and chemical engineering at age twenty and was recruited by a computer company to manage their research department, all of which kept her farther away from men and women of her own age.

I sure hope so, Timmy, but that won't happen unless she starts going out rather than stay at home on work her computer, even over the weekend.

Yeah, and we should've taken her with us but she claimed she couldn't because she was running some sort of huge research project at work.

Well, at least she agreed to take a week's vacation with us starting Saturday, when you're hell bent on wasting a few more thousands of dollars trying to win a bundle playing poker in the upcoming World of Poker series. Again, when we barely have enough money to fix the roof that's leaking like a sieve. Oops, sorry I said that because you always manage to come in 'in the money' and recoup the registration fees, but the not the cost of staying there a whole week.

Yes, it does, but it's my only extravagance in life while you still smoke and spend fifty dollars a week on cigarettes, which is real dangerous for you to do. But I love you anyway, you asshole, and I don't mind it that nowadays we have to please each other manually.

Me, too. And maybe one of these days you'll hit the jackpot.

Thanks, darling.

Both looked up suddenly when they sensed a heavy cloud passing above them and obscuring the clear sky, but they remained outside since it did not start raining and the heat continued being quite oppressive. Then, just as they leaned into each other for another passionate kiss, the sky all around them lit up with a tremendous display of lightening that seemed to continuously reach to the ground. Suddenly concerned for their safety, they were about to get up and rush indoors when one of the lightening bolts hit both of them forcefully and stunned them for a moment as the electricity crackled through their bodies. Both were sure that the lightening hit was about to kill them, but despite its severity of it they were able to quickly disentangle their bodies and rush into the room, where they fell into bed as though stunned.

When Tim woke up he felt as though his body had gone through a wringer, literally conscious of every one of his muscles, some of which he didn't even recognize, and when he turned to look at the bedside table and saw that it was just past nine in the morning he understood why the room was full of light. He turned back to look at Trudy, and his heart nearly stopped when he saw that it was his own face was there rather than where he actually was and his confusion rose further when the eyes in his face were opened, his own brown ones rather than Trudy's blue ones.

The face suddenly broke into a smile with twinkling eyes. So you just discovered this craziness as well, didn't you.

The deep bass voice was his as well, to which he responded with Trudy's soprano, which rattled him more than everything he'd experienced so far. I did, and I think I'm about to go nuts.

Not so fast, my darling, because you haven't seen the rest yet like I did five minutes ago when I woke up and almost started screaming hysterically. So go ahead, take a look at yourself in the mirror.

Jumping our of bed in a rush, Tim reached the large mirror on the closet door in an instant and stood in front of it with utter terror since the person reflecting in it was Trudy rather than himself. Not only that, it was the Trudy of a younger age, much younger, with a firm slim body and large breasts that were spilling out of the special bra with the prosthesis inserts that she had taken to wearing lately. Which hurt his flesh now considerably until he sensed Trudy behind him and was greatly relieved when she unhooked the bra and it fell off, letting his heavy breasts loose.

Jesus, Rudy, what happened to us?

Regardless of what did, you better start calling me Timmy and I you Rudy. His old self, which looked just as he used to fifty years ago, said in his highly masculine voice. But no matter what had happened to us that switched our minds from body to body, it also brought us back to our youth.

The newly embodies Trudy dropped
