Two years is how long Josh had been working on his machine. Two years of blood sweat and hard work had been spent, along with countless hours of figuring and tinkering. He was close to complete just one more basic part, a cable to link the two ports.
"Two years, of my life wasted. But it is done, I just need some extra cable from the store and I will start my experiment tonight." Josh smiles and closes the door behind him. After tonight he will be rich beyond his wildest dreams. His dream of never growing old and living forever will come true. Josh turns and looks into the mirror on the wall. The refection of his middle age body shone back. He pulls the skin tight on his face, and releases it allowing all the wrinkles to come back. He runs his hand through his hair, or what is left of it. All the stress of his job and experiements helped the bald spot grow. Of all the effects of aging going bald affected him the most.
"Honey, I need to go the store and I am taking Missy with me." Josh yells out as he heads down the hall to Missy's room.
"Dad, I am changing!!" Missy shouts as Josh suddenly opened the door.
Missy was fourteen, just entering a very diffucult stage in a young girl's life. Her body was changing in ways she didn't understand and this caused her relationship with her dad to be strained. He still treated her like a kid, when she was growing up right in front of him. Never being a girl he had a hard time relating to her. She wasn't his child physically but she was his daughter. Ever since Susan and he met, he had accepted her as his daughter. Susan had urged him to addopt her, but he couldn't.
Josh was shocked his little girl didn't look so childish just then. She was cute, but her body she was wearing a bra for Pete's sake. He never new Susan had bought her one. Her hips and breasts were begining to look more womanly and not like the tomboy he was used to. Missy use to love football and basketball, but now she spent hours doing her makeup and getting dressed. The sports posters were changing to posters of movie stars and hunky guys.
They left for the store neither one talking to each other. He attempted to talk to her a few times but couldn't. She stared nervously at the door, trying to figure something to talk about. Josh leaned foward and turned the radio to Missy's favorite station and looked over to her for approval. Missy smiled and looked absently ou the window. He got the extra cable and returned home. He kept thinking about how his life would be different now that his machine was done. He would be able to afford anything for his family. Missy kept thinking about her dad not respecting her privacy.
Later that night after Missy and Susan had gone to bed Josh's machine was finally ready for a test run.
"meow" the cat purred rubbing his leg. "Socks" was the cats name. Missy named it after the President's famous cat after the trip to D.C. in 84.
"Perfect" Josh said as he picked up the cat and put it in the chamber. The machine looked similiar to a closet with dials on the side. It was small and compact, not huge like science fiction movies would portray devices. The chamber was really a shower stall with holes to allow the radioactive material to pass easily. The early calcuations left him to believe no hamr could be done, but only six jumps would be allowed. Jumps refer to changing the age process, it is a combination of time travel and retuning the body to the gentic code stored for the age desired.
The lights flickered and a low humming noise was heard but nothing else happended. He opened the chamber and laughed out loud at what he found. Instead of the old beat up cat he put in the chamber he found a small kitten. He wrote down his results and decided to try it on himself. He needed to know wether it worked on humans or not. He set it for 13, not too young but not too old to see a dramtic difference in his appearance.
He stepped into the chamber and dialed in the numbers. A small humming noise started up and then darkness.
When Josh awoke he noticed that all the lights were out. He stood up and opened the chamber door. He rose to his feet noticing the large shoes that had fit him minutes earlier. The pants and shirt hung loosely similiar to the style the kids these days wear. The pants fell to the ground taking his now oversized boxers with them. He quickly picked them up and stumbled through the dark over to the fuse box. After flipping a few switched the lights cam back on and he noticed the dramtic changes that had really occured.
That is when he noticed the change, he no longer looked like the 45 year old professor but a child of no older than 13. His refection in the mirror was astounding. His face was more round and his adam's apple was no longer apearant. His arms and legs were much shorter than before. In fact he was a spitting image of what he looked like at 13. He walked over the machine to dial in the correct numbers but the machine was not working.
"Damn.... I will just wait till morning." Josh thought
He stepped up the stairs not thinking what his wife will say when she finds out. He walks into bed and falls sound asleep.
The next morning he awakes to a massage on his member. He opens his eyes and looks down to see his wife stroking his member. She kisses him passionately and they screw for almost an hour.
Josh was amazed his sexual arousal was amazing it felt like the first time he had sex, but better. They had sex many times he just keep getting hard.
After the hour was up Susan opened her eyes and screamed.
"Who the hell are you and where is my husband???" Susan shouted while pounded on his naked body.
"It's me, Josh I swear!" he cries out as tears fall down his face.
