Has this road become longer, or have I become slower?
Definitely the latter. I really have become old.Look at me, can’t even manage to walk without my cane. I see the road is covered with petals from the tree. The same tree that only a few months ago, stood barren and cold in the winter. If only all us humans had that ability to shed our old skin and look young all over again. Well, I can’t speak for all the humans. But, I’m lucky I discovered the fountain of youth.
Now where did I keep that water-bottle?

Nice twist. We also shed old ageing cells everyday. Sometime those dying become more than those being born. Then we leave this body.

If his memory has failed, he may never find or drink the water,

Oh, no! Forgetting where you put your fountain of youth water bottle is going to be a reversal.

Nice, but who wants to be young all the time ?
