Misspent Youth

What if you found the fountain of youth? What side effects would that have on society as a whole and you? Well in this story, Jeff Baker, is the scientist who found this. He is in a nine month coma to have this work. We are brought in to the story when Jeff is going through this long transformation. It takes place in England around the 23 century.

Jeff is divorced and has a son Tim, and elderly mother-in-law, who has dementia and is in a nursing home.

When Jeff came out he was in his 20's. The treatment was new and expensive, simply because it was just created.

This treatment worked great at first. But society being the way it is, it is not that ready for a regressive aged man. In addition to that Jeff made some pretty grave errors.

One was sleeping with his new wife, which was forbidden according to their pre-nuptial agreement. Even though it was the most passionate night of her life they broke. All his new wife was responsible for according to the agreement was the raising of Tim.

They had many function to attend in honor of this breakthrough. Unfortunately this came at the price of his sons respect, because Jeff was sleeping around. He slept with a friend of his daughter after one of these functions. If that wasn't bad enough he stole Annibelle, Tim's girlfriend.
