Abigail doesn’t realize she’s being controlled by an artificial intelligence that’s turning her into the perfect girlfriend for Victor in Ghost in the Machine, available on Smashwords<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, or BodySwapStories.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Victor has had a crush on Abigail since they first met but she’s only ever seen him as a friend. Fortunately for Victor, an artificial intelligence has escaped the lab and targeted him as the perfect consumer which it intends to satisfy by any means necessary. The AI figures that the best way to give Victor what he desires is to download itself into Abigail’s body.

Abigail has no idea she’s being controlled. She thinks it’s her choice to pig out on junk food, embarrass herself in public, and explore her sexuality as the AI learns to control its new human body. But the AI still has some difficulties deciphering meaning and an ill-worded desire from Victor leads to copies of his mind being inserted into Abigail and her roommate.

But maybe that’s what Victor really wanted all along and he didn’t even know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Victor took a last sip of his beer and leaned back against the cushion of the booth seat. Abigail and Paige sat across from him, both of them still finishing their meals. Abigail had been holding a single french fry in her slim fingers and gesticulating with it while she told a story for the last five minutes. Paige had egged her on, laughing and filling in details that Abigail glossed over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUh, not quite,\u201d Paige said, arching her slender eyebrow at Abigail. \u201cI was the one who went down the hill first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh my god, I forgot!\u201d Abigail laughed. \u201cIt was a bunny slope and you almost plowed into the kids waiting for a lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey had thick coats. They would have been fine,\u201d Paige said wryly, swiping her black hair back behind her ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was why dinners out with the two women took forever. Victor didn\u2019t really<\/em> mind though. They were good company and, besides, just being around Abigail was all Victor wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abigail\u2019s stories gave Victor an excuse to watch her. He sought to memorize her face, taking in her close-set eyes that gave her an endearing girl-next-door look, her toothy grin, and the beautiful line of her nose. Abigail pushed her black glasses back up her nose and flashed Victor a gorgeous smile. The two had been friends for years but still, whenever Abigail flashed that smile at him Victor\u2019s heart jumped into his throat. She was either blissfully unaware of Victor\u2019s feelings for her or was deliberately not acknowledging any of the little signs over the years. Victor wasn\u2019t sure which was better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abigail finally<\/em> popped the french fry into her mouth. The conversation lapsed momentarily as both women took another bite of their burgers. Paige ate with cautious movements, trying not to spill anything on her white sleeveless top. The other two had already poked gentle fun at her for tucking her napkin into her neck but she\u2019d just shrugged and insisted that it was well worth looking like a dork to keep her clothes clean for the club later that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paige and Abigail were roommates. Both cute and in their early twenties, but that\u2019s where the similarities ended. Abigail was the more outgoing of the bunch. Nerdy-sexy, with a face that always looked as though she had a hint of a smile and a willingness to throw herself into new things no matter how crazy they sounded. God, Victor had such a huge crush on her. Paige was shy and reserved, except when she went out clubbing or to a rave. Then she would hit the dance floor, bumping to beat without a care in the world. Usually she dressed simply, with a girl-next-door modesty about her. But when she went out, like tonight, with her dirty-blonde hair up in an elegant bun and an outfit that hugged her tight curves, she was hot as hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSure you don\u2019t want to come out clubbing with us tonight?\u201d Abigail asked. \u201cIt\u2019s ladies night. You might meet a special someone.\u201d She wiggled her eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor blushed. She was always looking out for him, so how could he tell her that she<\/em> was his special someone? Besides, he hated clubs. Too much loud music. Too many assholes. Too many people way<\/em> cooler than he was hitting on Abigail and Paige. No, not the sort of thing Victor wanted to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot tonight,\u201d Victor said, shifting in his seat. \u201cI\u2019m not really into the whole dancing thing. I don\u2019t have your grace,\u201d he nodded at Paige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou call it grace, I call it alcohol,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even know how you can do it. Don\u2019t you have work tomorrow?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abigail sighed. \u201cI\u2019m trying to forget about that. It\u2019s double checking Frank\u2019s work,\u201d she rolled her eyes. \u201cHis code is always buggy as hell so that should take up most of my day. Still, gotta love overtime,\u201d she shrugged and took a gulp of her fruity drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGotta love that Silicon Valley money,\u201d Paige laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you working on now?\u201d Victor asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCorporate secret,\u201d Abigail smiled. \u201cBut not exciting. Oh! I forgot to tell you, I totally won this contest at work. I get to be a beta tester for this new VR helmet one of my departments is working on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNice!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, more work in addition to the not-exciting corporate secret work?\u201d Paige asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I have to beta test it in my own time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSounds like they\u2019re using you as an unpaid intern. This is that big corporate bullshit at work,\u201d Paige shook her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut the helmet looks so cool!\u201d Abigail insisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan I come over and try it out?\u201d Victor asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSure!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paige dabbed at the sides of her lips with a napkin and sat back in the booth before looking over at Abigail. \u201cAll right. You ready?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abigail clapped her hands together. \u201cLet\u2019s do it!\u201d She turned to Victor. \u201cLast chance. Sure you don\u2019t want to come?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNah. I\u2019m good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuit yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They all scooted out from the booth and wound through the busy restaurant to the street. There Victor hugged them each goodnight and watched them walk away, his eyes lingering on Abigail\u2019s swaying hips, her curves so incredible in that skintight black dress she wore. With a sigh, he turned and trudged to his car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Victor got back to his apartment he didn\u2019t even bother to turn the lights on. He just sat right down in front of his huge computer and booted it up. The pink neon lights inside the casing sparked to life, accompanied by the low whoosh of the liquid cooling the processor. He\u2019d put the thing together himself with Abigail\u2019s help. There were three big monitors so he could chat and game at the same time. Various plugins\u2014steering wheels, a VR headset, a joystick\u2014sat to one side of the steel desk that the monitors had been bolted to, ready for any game he desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, his game of choice was a third person co-op shooter called Bravador. He loaded it up and logged in, unsurprised to see his friend, AceOfKings, was already online. Ace seemed to be online constantly, and Victor wondered what his friend did that he could play games all day. Or maybe their schedules were exactly synced. Ace had been suitably vague whenever Victor had prodded him. Ace much preferred listening and commiserating with Victor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor slid the headset over his head and thumbed the button to turn the microphone on. \u201cHey, Ace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHello, Victor,\u201d Ace replied, his cool voice like silk. \u201cHow are you tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEh, well, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do?\u201d There was the briefest of pauses. \u201cAh, I see. Did you interact with Abigail this evening?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do I do, Ace? Do I tell her how I feel?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ace was Victor\u2019s confidant. He knew none of Victor\u2019s friends and knew nothing about Victor\u2019s life except what Victor told him. It was like talking to a psychiatrist while playing a game. A psychiatrist with an odd grasp of the English language and the slightest unplaceable accent. As they loaded into a game of Bravador, Victor spilled his guts to Ace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou appear to be stuck in the grey area known as the friend zone,\u201d Ace replied. \u201cMaybe your romantic outcome would be more favorable if she knew of your feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor snorted. \u201cNo way. What if I get rejected?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat if you do not? Maybe she feels the same way towards you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That gave Victor pause. It wasn\u2019t that Victor had never had a girlfriend, it was more like he was constantly measuring them against Abigail and finding them wanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ace and Victor each selected a character and jumped into an online game with some other players from across the world. Ace had astounding accuracy and an uncanny ability to predict the opponent\u2019s moves. Victor played by instinct whereas Ace was more methodical. Together they were a great team<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe should play in a tournament together,\u201d Victor said, eager to change the subject as they spread out through the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWould you like that?\u201d Ace asked, then added: \u201cI am holding up in beta quadrant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat would be awesome.\u201d Victor said as he charged through the map. \u201cFinding cover.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is an all-female tournament in San Diego this weekend,\u201d Ace responded. \u201cTarget eliminated,\u201d he added as he killed a player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor didn\u2019t have time to wonder how Ace had looked that up so quickly because suddenly he was being attacked from behind. He ducked behind a stack of crates. Pulling out his knife, he waited for his opponent to charge towards him. When he did, Victor leaped up and swiftly jabbed him in the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no more time to talk that round because the timer was counting down and the other players were rushing them. All they could do was bark commands at each other until time ran out and the game ended with another victory for Ace and Victor. By then Victor had forgotten to ask Ace how he knew that Victor lived near San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They played until late at night, when Victor\u2019s eyes started to ache from looking at the screen. The only interruption had been a text from Abigail, her and Paige holding up some sort of syrupy looking cocktail and smiling into the camera, accompanied by a text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free drinks! It\u2019s not too late to join us!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor hadn\u2019t bothered answering, just jumped into another round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you think she is flirting or just being friendly?\u201d Ace asked when Victor told him about the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMan, I don\u2019t even know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wish I could help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every interaction with Abigail just left Victor more confused. Just when he thought there was nothing there she did something to make a little niggling doubt appear. Ace was a good listener, but he was no Abigail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
