You take a deep breath and decide to test the app on yourself, doubtful it would work but hopeful. You highlight “23” in the sentence and replace it with “14”.
The screen flashes briefly, and your phone buzzes softly in your hand. A strange sensation washes over you, like a warm, gentle wind sweeping through your body. The world around you wavers for a split second, and when it stabilizes, everything feels... different.
Your clothes have changed—they’re now a size smaller, a little more colorful, and definitely not something you’d normally wear as a young adult. Your laptop, once open to your fantasy draft, now displays a high school homework assignment. Even the latte in front of you has shifted into a hot chocolate topped with whipped cream.
You glance at your reflection in the cafe window. The face staring back at you is undeniably yours but younger, softer, and framed by a hairstyle you haven’t worn in years.
The people around you don’t seem surprised. To them, this is just how things have always been. The barista smiles kindly at you as if you’re a regular kid, and the older woman on the phone barely spares you a glance.
Your mind spins. It worked. You’re 14 again.
But now what? Do you embrace this younger version of yourself for a while, or change something else to explore what the app can do? You’ve got 60 seconds before you can make another adjustment.
