While Allison knew she would still age to become 100 years old in a while, she just couldn't handle being this old anymore. She has already lost all of her independency and she was still at 75! What would happen then when she turned 100!?
This was no fun. Also, she sort of got curious and wanted to meet her so-said deceased son, so she was going to make herself younger. Moving her trembling, wrinkled hand over to her phone's screen, after a few tries, she pressed over the text where it said "75". And the very moment she touched the number, the app zoomed in on it, darkening the rest of the screen as it focussed on the number in question, displaying it within 4 white boxes.

When she realized the maximum age that the app let her choose to be, she shivered. How could someone survive being 9999 years old? Ignoring this further, just keeping it in mind to be careful what she touched, she went on to the task of turning younger again. She just wanted to be 50 or so at the moment.
Of course, Allison, having lost her once 20/20 (or so) sight, had some problems changing the number. She had to either write it each number with the digital numeric keyboard on her own, or press the arrows at the top and the bottom of each white box. She thought the latter would be the better option.
Carefully, she slowly touched the arrows, often missing the press and opening the numeric keyboard in the process a few times. And suddenly, when she was ready to press the "Accept" button on the lower left side of the screen, her wheelchair bumped with a rock, almost making her let go off the phone. But her grip was still strong to keep it on her delicate hands.
"I'm so sorry! Are you okay? I didn't think that rock would be too big...", Alice apologized softly to Allison, trying to see if she really was alright.
"Ooh, yess deary.", was all Allison could answer back, getting a little startled over hearing her elderly voice.
Looking back at the phone, she noticed the change accepted itself after the previous jump she went after and now, at the text, she couldn't believe how but she ended up with a 150 instead of 50!
The text on the app now said: 'A 150 year old woman is being taken care of by deceased son's wife.'
She gasped at the sight, "No... No, no no no-...!"
She complained and started touching the number again madly, trying to change it once again but apparently, once her choice was done, she couldn't change it until a whole day had passed.
Alice went to her side, she wanted to know what was wrong but Allison just ignored her, she couldn't explain what had she done. Especially when she was starting to turn older already, and fast.
Alice disappeared by her side. The world had turned darker. She felt her skin change and become a mass of wrinkles as her breasts slowly drooped deflated to her lap. And this was not all, her body kept changing with the extreme passing of time she had put herself in. She fainted whenever she was at, as she couldn't take it anymore.
Some time after...
