Life Trade

What if a stranger took over the part of your best friend? In "Life Trade," a would-be screenwriter seeks answers after his buddy is replaced by a stranger. He discovers a matching website for people who want to trade places.

In the surreal style of Her and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, this humorous short story imagines a possible future for technology -- a revolutionary online matchmaking service that can help an unhappy person find a fresh start in the life of someone else.
