I enjoyed the unique approach you took with this writing prompt. Still the same, and yet such a different person. Though I have never traveled to the future, I understand what your protagonist is going through. I go to sleep, dream of a younger me and then awake, my pudgy, frumpy 65 yr old self. So disappointing, unlike the ending of your story. Good luck!

This is a good story and good reminder of how fast time flies. I'm glad you woke up young again. The problem for me is if the light is right, sometime I go to bed thinking I'm still young, and wake up the next morning to reality and I am an old lady.

My mom lived to be an old lady 89 years old and she was still young at heart so much so that I never really considered the fact she was old. Thanks for the great review 🙂

It would be initially scary to have this experience, but reassuring to see the family line progressing. Your last paragraph carries an important message that older people have knowledge and wisdom to share. You've described the lady's reaction to her change very well... it kept me interested to see what became of her.

This was a really good idea. You woke up as yourself, but you were really someone else - your future self. Thank goodness that you woke up the next morning as your regular self.

This is an extremely interesting premise. You travel into the future, but you age as you go. I did feel you could have dug deeper and given us a more dramatic day, or provided your descendants with more wisdom from the past.

I think we can put this story in the line of the ones where a life was well lived and the fruits of its labour can been see n in the smiles of the grandkids. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and the contest.

Great poem for the prompt. A very original story about traveling into the future and finding comfort about growing old and sharing wisdom and love with your family. Very well done.
