Skin Deep

Keith had operated his auto body shop for many years, but he had seen a downturn in business recently. He had attributed it to the Great Shift at first, as people were staying at home to adjust to their new bodies. Keith couldn’t blame them, he felt concerned when he suddenly found himself in the body of a young woman. But as things returned to normal, business didn’t. He soon came to one undeniable conclusion, people just didn’t trust a female mechanic. He couldn’t help but think how ironic that seemed. After all, considering the Great Shift placed all sorts of people in different bodies around the world, he would think everyone would come to the obvious conclusion that things like race and gender are just skin deep.
