Angela, your wife's younger sister and an all-around party-girl.

The last few weeks had been a nightmare. You awoke almost a month ago to learn that you had been critically injured in a horrible accident, and that the doctors saved you through an unbelievable experimental surgery - a brain transplant into the body of a young woman.

And as hard as that was to believe, that wasn't the most difficult part. The doctors and Pam, your wife, were careful to not tell you whose body you were in until they were convinced you were healthy and stable. But after a week or so they couldn't keep it from you any longer.

The body donor was Angela, your wife's younger sister! Very pretty and outgoing, Angela had always been something of a 'wild child' in contrast to Pam's level-headed pragmatism. At 25, she bounced from job to job, sponging off the the various guys she dated. She lived for the club scene, partying almost every night. Pam had hoped she would grow out of her carefree attitude - but unfortunately that would never happen now. Despite seeming to be in perfect physical health, she keeled over from an aneuryism - luckily for you, she was still on life support when your accident happened, making her the perfect donor.

Interaction with your wife had been awkward. She was still your soulmate, and you clung to her desperately as your lifeline. But clearly she saw her sister every time she looked at you and that complicated your relationship. She held your hand for hours and hugged you when you needed reassurance. But nothing more besides a chaste kiss on your cheek. At this point - the day of your discharge - you were still afraid to push for more. You didn't know where your relationship would go, but you hoped beyond hope that, with time, Pam would adjust somehow.

And still, as if all that weren't bad enough, you learned that you would have to pretend to be Angela. Officially Steve Meadows had died in the accident - you were legally Angela Taylor now. "At least I won't have to worry about money," you thought bitterly. "The payout from the hospital should keep me set for the next several years ..."

You wondered how much longer it would be. You sat there dressed in Angela's jeans, blouse, and flats, clothes of hers that your wife had brought you. During your stay she had helped you with the basics of 'femininity' - makeup, clothing, etc. - as well as going over Angela's background.

To your dismay Pam makes a point of calling you Angela and acting like you are her sister....
