Mr. Mendes stopped the car, "Hang on guys. I want to wear something more comfortable." He went into the house to his room and stipped naked. Next he put on just a pair of overalls and no shirt..then his sandals.
When Mr. Mendes got back to the car, Ric and Josh at first thought about how good looking Mr Mendes looked dressed that way...and then they noticed it. Though Mr. Mendes was still good looking, he was fast approaching 50 years old...."Cool!" Ric thought,"His genetics are good. He ages well."
Mr. Mendes looke back at the boys, "Guys, I'm feeling a little tired...do I look differnt to you?...I mean, I thought I looked funny in the mirror when I changed clothes." Josh piped up, "Um no...you look pretty good...for a guy your age." At that moment, his age looked more like 65...and though good looking for that age..Mr Mendes was definately looking older by the minute.
Ric decided they did not need to be driving with Francisco Mendes aging so rapidly, "Uh, Mr. Mendes...I forgot my Wallet (yeah that's it)...can we go back inside?"
The now 70 Francisco turned back and said, "Yeah...something doesn't feel right."
Inside they went. When Francisco got back to his room he let out a scream...in his Mirror was a 75 year old man with nearly white hair and a much older version of his face, "What happened to me!? I'm old!"
The boys came into the room. Mr. Mendes began to age more rapidly than before....80, 85, 90, 95 and then 100. The very old man in the shirtless overalls began to age even more rapidly...too old for the boys to tell what age he was...then he started to wither, he became almost skeletal...and then he started to crumble. Soon, where Mr. Mendes had stood was a pile of dust on top of some overalls and sandals.
Josh looked at Ric in a panic, "Did..did..we kill him?"
