Samantha was a beautiful woman of 40 years old, quite slim for her age, she was single and had not had any children because she did not want to, she wanted to live a life without the responsibility of one or more children.
However, she had just turned 40 and even if her beauty was still present, some elements of old age were starting to appear on her and she was aware that her life as a young and attractive woman would soon come to an end but she was ready to accept it, she was a very intelligent and wise woman who had studied literature and philosophy, she was in fact a professor of philosophy.
Samantha was passionate about art and loved to visit different museums, including the one containing the "magic hourglass", today she was wearing a long white summer dress and a big hat that gave her a hippy look.
During her visit, she came across the hourglass and wondered what it was doing here, although it looked very old, she didn't see any particular detail and was about to move on to the next work when suddenly a man came and whispered in her ear
"Have you tried it?"
Samantha gasped in fright and turned to face the man.
"What did you say?"
"I said, have you tried it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Rub the hourglass and you'll be young again...or not hehehe..." the man said before slowly walking away
"WAIT-" Samantha tried to catch up with him but the employee right next to her hissed
"Madam, you are in a museum, I ask you not to shout or to rush you or I will be obliged to make you leave" made the employee not looking more than 18 years old.
Samantha motioned for an apology but by the time she turned around the man was gone, she had never seen anything so strange but she clearly remembered his words, "rub the hourglass and you'll be young again.
Samantha turned around and faced the hourglass as she thought about the man's words, "you’ll be young again. Deep down she knew she didn't want to get old, and if there was a way to prevent it, she would.
Samantha looked around, almost no one and the only people present had their backs turned including the employee .
The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the hourglass as fast as she could, rubbed it a few times and quickly put it back on its base, she had never done anything so strange but fortunately no one saw her do it.
Samantha observed herself, nothing had changed, she still had the beginnings of wrinkles on her hands yet so beautiful, when suddenly, several orbs of light emerged from the hourglass and entered Samantha's body, completely amazed.
Suddenly she began to feel tingling all over her body, she looked at her hands, and incredibly, her skin became smoother and softer, her legs straightened up a bit as well as her chest as she reached her early thirties, her breasts toned up as well as her buttocks, and her blond hair became more and more luminous. As she reached her mid-twenties, her face lost the maturity of her thirties and became that of a young woman or a student.
"Oh my god this is amazing" she thought to herself as she ran her hands over her dress and rubbed it against her bare skin beneath, so soft.
Samantha was starting to get really young, she was about to leave her twenties when the tingling started to fade, leaving a very young Samantha of 19.
"Jesus Christ I'm practically a teenager, but so beautiful!" Samantha couldn't help but smile at what had just happened to her, she was now barely an adult and didn't really realize what being 19 again would mean in her life.
"Well, what's happened to you?" Said the employee who was now very close in age to Samantha who was forced to put her back and hide under her big hat so as not to be seen.
"Oh nothing I just thought that...ancient hourglass was beautiful"
"Mmh," the guard said before walking away again.
"Well, now I don't have much to do here" thought Samantha as more adolescent feelings began to replace those of a mature woman.
As she exited the museum, she wondered what she could do...
