Guest

They say how you spend your days is how you spend your life, but Stan was never able to spend an entire day in one body, and is that really a life? He’d tried knocking himself out, staying awake, drinking, being in a coma, even being dead a few times, with no success. Mostly, though, he acted like a polite guest, trying not to intrude on their relationships (except the clearly abusive ones, which Stan deliberately torpedoed). Until one day, with a jolt, he realized he was back in his birth body, and immediately wished he were a guest again.
