The Circus is in Town (A Collaboration)

A friend dragged me to see the circus that came to town today. I wasn't too
surprised when he dumped me, almost immediately, to chase after a good
looking girl. I figured I probably wouldn't see him too soon, so I went on a
few rides.
There was a short line at the carrousel. Finally, there were only two of us
left waiting for our turn. Everyone got off, and the pretty lady ahead of me
got into the seat at the bottom of the ferris wheel. I started to head to the
next available seat when she asked me if I would mind sitting with her. The
ride made her a little nervous.
I figured it was my lucky day. My friend might not be the only one to get a
date tonight.
The wheel started to turn. We rose into the air. She started to thank me for
riding with her when we heard a loud explosive sound from below. I looked down
to see smoke rising from the engine.
I figured we were going to be stuck up here for a while, but the wheel still
seemed to be moving! In fact, we were spinning faster. We were rotating much
too fast to try and jump out, all of the while going faster and faster. I
began to loose my equilibrium. Everything became a blur, as we both passed
out.
I awoke. I realized that I was being carried from the ferris wheel by a man
in a fireman's costume. He turned to a fellow fireman, remarking, "Damn! I
was hoping I could give her mouth to mouth."
He looked down at me to assure, "Don't worry, your boyfriend will be alright.
The paramedics have taken him to Mercy hospital, and we'll get you there
right behind him."
I wondered what the devil he was talking about. He called me a "she" and said
that I had a boyfriend. I didn't have a boyfriend, I was a man!
I looked down to see if I was hurt bad enough to go to the hospital. The
sight before my eyes, shocked me, to say the least. Either my vision was
badly damaged, or I no longer occupied my own body. I certainly hadn't had a
big bosom, with long hair flowing over the breasts to my waist when I got to
the circus!
I didn't have long to think about it as darkness closed in about me once more.
I fainted.
