The match (Patreon)

Fuck, I’m knackered. I've no idea who I am right now. It’s half time and I had been running around a soccer pitch for the last 50 minutes, the full half and an extra 5 minutes for injury time. It's been excruciating, I had to remove my gloves and boots to try and make sense of it all.
Something really weird was going on and I had managed to play in every position on the pitch. As the whistle blew I was a goalie, but I had played in midfield, striker, and defender. I’m not even sure if I’m actually a goalie for the right team anymore. It wasn’t management that was making these changes. As far as I know I’m actually still in defence.
As the whistle blew I needed to sit down and reflect on how hard this game was. But it wasn’t because I was working any harder than I normally was. However, for some reason every time I kicked the ball my mind went with it and I was zapped into another player
's body. Not wanting to create a scene I just got on with playing the match.
It was extremely confusing though, I was in my own body, the ball was kicked to me, and I tried to pass it to one of the other players on my team, but as soon as my foot made contact with the ball I was whisked out of my own body at tremendous speed towards another player. The first time I was lucky I landed in the body of a lad on my team. I had to check I was wearing the right colour kit. But after the first time I'm not sure which team I was on. Maybe I was just imagining it. But I know my real team isn't sponsored by plus 500, so I think I'm still immune wrong body, playing for the wrong team.
I did spend a fair amount of time in the goalkeepers body. I'm sat a fair amount of time but it's only been like twenty minutes, and ten of those have been during half time. It's weird, I don't know who I am, I don't know what I look like. Do I look fit? I'm definitely taller than I used to be.
Maybe I should ask coach if I can sit on the bench for a while. No that's the wrong decision, I'm doing I'll get my own body back if I sit the next half out. Actually, I'm starting to forget who I was at the start. Might as well enjoy the game, do what I came here to do and win. Maybe I'll swap again in the 2nd half, maybe ill get my own body back, maybe ill stay as the goal keeper, who knows?
