Lewis, an ordinary man with ordinary problems, life was about to get more complicated when the Trait Swapper got involved. The Trait Swapper usually swapped traits (naturally) between two people and then moved on. But on the occasion with Lewis, the Trait Swapper would stay involved for an extended period.

The first swap was hardly noticed by Lewis. Lewis wasn't a very hairy man, so when all the hair on his chest was removed and swapped with a woman he never knew, he didn't care one bit.

The woman who discovered a while later that her breasts were covered with hair was frantic. She hadn't noticed all day. When she was getting undressed to discover that her boobs were covered with hair, even the relatively sparse hair of Lewis, she immediately redressed, find a 24-hour pharmacy, and bought a depilatory. She immediately took a shower and applied the cream. The hairs came off easily. She would have to repeat this procedure every four or five days. Either that or wear tops with a higher neckline than she used to. Eventually, she considered laser hair removal. After that, his life returned to normal.

Lewis wouldn't be so lucky. After some time, the Trait Swapper didn't have any conception of time, it struck again. This time it swapped Lewis' chest with the chest of a nine-year-old girl whose chest had just started to develop. Lewis didn't have boobs, not really, but his chest was both puffy and sensitive. The relatively rough material of the shirts he was wearing, made his chest feel itchy.

Lewis looked for remedies on the Internet for itchy skin. He found a site that claimed there were eight options to try to relieve itchy skin. The first was an 'oatmeal bath' and the last was to simply stop scratching. Each technique had a different degree of effectiveness. In the end, he started to wear softer clothing that wouldn't rub against his skin a much and an aloe vera based product.

The little girl didn't mind that her puffy new breasts were gone, replaced with Lewis' less sensitive male ones. It would take years before the girl realized when she wouldn't have any boobs at all that she and her mother would become concerned and see a doctor.

Later when Lewis received the AA-cup breasts of a woman with tiny breasts, he was just happy that the itching had stopped. His breasts were more sensitive in their way than they had ever been, but he didn't feel the itch of growing breasts. His breasts were small, but they were now obvious women's breasts with defined nipples.

Looking at the shape of his small breasts and especially his new much wider areola, Lewis became concerned. It was his time to see a doctor.

The doctor performed several tests. There wasn't anything wrong with the small breast. Lewis didn't have cancer; his body wasn't producing more female hormones than it should. InHisormone levels were completely normal for a man his age.

"I don't know what to tell you," the endocrinologist told him. There isn't anything wrong with you."
