INT. EXCLUSIVE CLINIC – DAY

DOCTOR

Well, Don, if I didn’t know you better, I’d say

you’re growing younger by the year.

DONALD CROWN

How’s my ticker?

–

DOCTOR

That of an athlete’s. You’ve stopped using contacts –

–

DONALD CROWN

Lasik!

–

DOCTOR

I see the scars but your eyesight seems to have self-corrected.

And, you’ve stopped using the wonder pill.

–

DONALD CROWN

Perhaps I’m turning into a werewolf.

–

DOCTOR

If only it were that simple, but how do I explain a seventy year old

billionaire in the body of a thirty year old billionaire!

–

DONALD CROWN

I found the elixir of youth, Doc. All it takes is high stress, late

nights, fast women and bingeing. Same time next year?

–

Crown buttons up, heads for the door.

–

DOCTOR

I’ll like to meet this Tibetan lama of yours.

–

DONALD CROWN

All in good time, Doc, all in good time.

–

Crown exits. The doctor mutters to himself.

–

DOCTOR

Heard that for the last five years.

  1. Blood transfusions have been around for a while, I guess it was only a matter of time they would find a way for eternal youth! Forever young.
    Loved the story by the way Eric. Very tongue in cheek ;D
    cheers

    1. Hello Luciana dear,

      You’re so very right. I recall reading somewhere that in ancient China, the powerful resorted to blood transfusions. Even now, it is a rumoured practice among some of the filthy rich in Asia. With people eating life monkey brains and so forth – this is not so far fetched, perhaps.

      Glad you loved the story 🙂

      Have a great weekend,
      Eric

I like to hear your thoughts
