Couples arrive at a party, many arm-in-arm. Some seem enamored with each other, while many walk side-by-side, not touching. Initially the couples stroll together, stopping to join in conversations here and there.

            The host calls for everyone’s attention. Announces that all couples must split apart and go in search of new partners.

            Imagine the protests. The chaos. The fun?

            Your task is to write a story in which romantic partners are switched.

            Have fun with this one.
