Band of Age

added by JRamezo 11 years ago AP BM O

Eric Guthrie pouted to himself, standing out by the car as his parents browsed the garage sale, looking for any items they could buy for cheap here. Apparently, the owner was moving, and couldn't take much with him. The owner entrusted the selling of the items to his teenage son and daughter, while he apparently took care of business. Eric, being twelve, did not really care for this, and would much rather be back home playing a game or throwing a football with dad. Eric didn't really understand what his parents saw in any of this, but it was evidently enough to leave him just standing there.

"...I'm so bored. I hate this. I wish I was an adult, so I could do what I want."

That was when someone walking by crouched down and looked at Eric, startling him slightly. The man was incredibly tall, at least six foot ten, and was as old as the teenagers selling the owner's property, "Hm, that is quite a wish I heard. Could I interest the little man in an item?"

Eric decided this was better than nothing and nodded in the affirmative.

"Well then, here we go." He presented a band made of what looked like gold to Eric, immediately drawing his attention.

Eric asked, rubbing his eyes to find out if this was really a dream, "Y-You mean this is mine?"

The man nodded and smiled happily, "Yep! I'm the owner, so I figure a nice little gift here and there would do my karma good."

Eric did not get it, given this guy barely looked the age of the people who were supposedly his son and daughter, but whatever, there was an incredibly awesome golden band. "So I'm not dreaming! Thanks, mister!"

The man immediately said, "Oh don't mention it. I figure people deserve to have what they want every now and then, and that, really, age shouldn't be so much of a barrier. But seriously kid, do not mention it." That last bit was delivered dead serious, and Eric gulped a little, not wanting to figure out what this guy meant. He was a little scary looking, all black clothes, dark hair and cruel, ice-cold looking eyes.

Then that sense went away when the man got back up and started walking again, "So put it on your neck and look mad stylish. Growing up should feel good, and gleeful, not boring and without enjoyment."

Eric looked down at the band, and decided to put it on, despite that eerie sense earlier. However, he was sidetracked when his parents returned, carrying a few items bought at the sale. And soon enough, as his dad climbed behind the wheel and everyone got back in the car, Eric thought about the man. There was something eerie about him, but a gift was a gift.

---------------------------------++++++++++++++++++++++

Back home, after a drive, Eric decided to put the band on and go do something. He was a boy of many interests, even though he enjoyed games, he also enjoyed sports and other such activities.

He waved to his mom as he headed for the door, thinking about all the things he could do today, even though it was already 4:30 and it would be only a few hours until it got dark.

However, as he put the band on and went on to enjoy himself, he did not know the reality of who had given him the Band. A malicious creature by all accounts, the man from the sale had discreetly placed a curse of ageing on the golden band, which would make Eric age 3 years every hour, purely for his own malicious entertainment, while making the ageing process not as painful as you would expect, instead, ageing would send a jolt to the pleasure center of the youth's brain.

Hence, his age would increase as long as he wore the band...and he would probably be reluctant to take it off.

The transformation would take into account what he did in that hour to influence how he grew up. And what was more, it would make people oblivious to any changes, as if Eric had always been that age.

Oblivious to his fate, Eric went out to...
