What If You Could Swap Places With Anything?

Gull Point. Seven fifty-eight a.m. The school bus pulls away without you… so you look at your lunch box, sitting on its back seat, and swap places with it. Whatever you trade with lands exactly where you stood. What if you could swap places with anything you can see? You'd never wait for anything again. You'd beat every queue, skip every long walk, win every staring contest with a seagull. But every swap leaves something behind… and one Friday night, out on the mudflats, with the tide running and a nine-year-old girl you can't see, that rule is the only one that matters. Dot the cat is hiding somewhere in this video. Did you spot her?

Call the emergency number (in the UK, 999 and ask for the Coastguard), and tell them to spread their weight and keep still. If you'd have flashed that lantern three times too, hit like — and tell me: if you could swap places with anyone, just once, who would you trade with? #WhatIf #SwapPlaces #NearlyPossible
