The stage lights dimmed, ready for the next act. No one expected much — a full-figured woman walked slowly to the center, dressed in bright, sparkly clothes. In her hand, she held a small glowing bottle filled with a thick, green liquid that seemed to pulse like it was alive.
The audience whispered. A few chuckled. A judge raised an eyebrow.
She said nothing.
Lifting the bottle slowly, she opened it with a soft hiss — almost like the bottle sighed. Then she drank. Every drop.
At first… nothing.
Then, a faint green glow began to spread across her skin, like light moving underneath the surface. Her clothes started to loosen. Her body began to shrink, reshape, smooth out. The glow intensified. Years melted off her face. Her posture changed.
The audience gasped.
Within seconds, the woman was gone — and in her place stood a little girl, no older than six, with glowing green skin and wide, curious eyes. She looked around as if seeing the world for the first time.
