I Am Young Again

For 20 years I took care of my mother, who had dementia.

But instead of appreciative gazes, I received cold gazes and contempt from my family instead.

But then a miracle happened to me.

“I am . . . young again?”

Unbelievably, my body has turned back to how I had looked in my early 20s.

But from that day on, something strange has also been happening.

I keep hearing grotesque sounds, and monsters keep coming at me.

It’s nice to have my youth back again, but. . .

it seems that my youth is not the only thing that I’ve got.
