“Why are you old?” I asked. They were only a second ago, just so much more I don’t know, alive. They now looked as if corporal America had taken their body and beaten them with a bonk it stick. “Send me back” they screamed . The party had grown silent, everyone looking at me, like I was the freak. Even the dude with the superpower to make everything he touched into toenails. “I mean sure but once again why are you so old?” “I aged okay, you did something I don’t know the logistics ,” “Okay, so if you don’t know then why do you want to go back then” “I meet this like really hot person and we are having a baby,” “Eww gross, you sure you want to go back to that. Babies are expensive and you do not look like you can handle another financial burden,” I looked at everyone in the room. Some were nodding and other were rolling their eyes at me. “Listen, I need to go back, my life is there now not here,” “What about your partner? They are still in the bathroom , ya know, what am I supposed to say?” “Tell them, you couldn’t get me back out,” “Wait, you said you met a hot person, so that means your partner isn’t that hot person who you are certainly with,” “ I… no but it’s not cheating” “Works for me,” I said as I pushed them behind me. Then a thought occurred to me … “Damn you look so much older now , how’s the kiddo?”
