The man who lived life backwards
Once upon a time, there was a little town called Rshotrinale. February 7 1896 at 12:00am... POOF! There appeared a man. He was very old and on his gray hair, was a faded brown hat. In the morning he would walk around, pronounce and say things backwards. Everyone thought he was very strange. They also thought he was getting younger and his hair was turning brown. Even the color on his hat was starting to return. Finally, Ms. Smoke and Mr. Smoke realized he was getting younger. They decided that when he got the size of a 15 year old, they would adopt him. When this “tenager” was the size of a 15 year old, the Smokes adopted him. After the Smokes thought he was 1, they brought him to the hospital to see if they could turn his life the opposite way but the doctors didn’t find a way. At 12:00am September 18 “1800” (1992 for us) suddenly POOF... he was gone. The Smokes buried the man in the graveyard, exactly where he started: under the weeping willow in the town of Rshotrinale.
Awesome story, Dana!
ReplyDeleteThanks mom!
DeleteSomehow I missed this entry way back when!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting story. The fellow was able to live his life both while aging and while getting younger. He could learn life's lessons in both directions. I wonder which way is better. I wonder if it would be a good thing to be able to pick our best age and to stay there for a bit.
Good job, Dana!!!
