Except Younger (Part 1)

Ever since he was 10 years old, Nathan would sneak into his mom’s closet and wear her clothes. Even now, a decade later, when he would return from school on break, he’d seize the opportunity to try on things from her wardrobe. On one particular visit, he was digging through the attic and found some old workout clothes that his mom hadn’t worn in years. Unable to resist, Nathan soon found himself ripping on his own clothes and putting on his mom’s. Next, he pulled a sheet off a nearby mirror in order to look at himself. The dusty, dull old mirror suddenly began to shine as the light hit it just right. Nathan stood still as he stared in the mirror. The reflection was not his own. It was his mom’s! But not his mom; it was his mom from more than 20 years ago, long before he was born. He stood still in disbelief just to be sure the reflection would mimic his actions. Then he looked down in shock to discover that it wasn’t just the reflection. His whole body had changed! He was now a young version of his own mother somehow!
