Transformation
by Mary Shelley
This really reminded me of Frankenstein! It has that childhood backstory and tragedy, leading up to the present. The protagonist witnesses a shipwreck in a storm, and a mysterious creature floats to shore, who persuades him to swap bodies for three days. As a reward he would get a treasure chest. Of course after three days the creature doesn't come back, and he goes to find it. He discovers that he creature, in his body, is about to marry his girlfriend / fiancé, so he attacks and kills it. He gets his body back, marries his love and lives happily ever after - but is still traumatized by what happened.
A lot happens in this very short story, but it works pretty well! Definitely recommend this to people who love Frankenstein.
