Lady in the Pond
On a late afternoon in the park, Tim was catching some sunlight while laying down on a massive blanket with his favorite pair of expensive sunglasses on. As he rested, some random man walked up to him. Sensing his presence, Tim raised his shades and shot him a glare.
“Hey, excuse me? You were with that old lady just now, right? What were you guys talking about?” the man asked. Tim looked confused. The man pointed towards an elderly woman who was painting a landscape portrait of the duck pond.
“Her! Do you know her name?”
“Nahhhhh brah,” Tim threw his shades back on and laid back down with his arms behind his head. “Never talked to that old chick before. If that’s all you had to ask, step out the way lil bro, you’re blocking the sun. I’m tryna tan this 6 pack before spring break comes around.”
The man had a puzzled look on his face, but did not press Tom further and left. As Tim continued perfecting his tan, he began mentally mapping out which beaches should have the best parties. Loud music… Free drinks… And all the ass he could ever want, Tim smirked to himself. He was oozing with a confidence so arrogant, you would’ve never imagined that he was an elderly gentleman a mere hour ago.

There was a famous duck pond at the local park in town. During migration season, families would frequently spend the whole day hanging out at the park while watching the ducks play in the water. Among the usual patrons, there was a strange, old lady who arguably spent the most time at the duck pond. Every Sunday without fail, she would show up with a blank canvas and acrylic paints and just paint from sunrise to sunset. She had painted everything you could possibly imagine from the grassy landscape to silly portraits of ducks in tuxedos. She was a natural talent with the paintbrush.
So what made this old woman with a taste for art so strange? Well, for starters, nobody knew who she was. She had come to be affectionately known as the “Lady at the Pond” over the years, but nobody knew her real name. A handful of people have tried talking with her, but she only responded with head nods and maybe the occasional grunt if you were lucky. And, aside from her regular Sunday appearance at the duck pond, she was never seen anywhere else in town. It was as though she disappeared like a mirage once the sun set in the evening. She had become something of a local legend because of the mystery surrounding who she was. Although since she just kept to herself in her little secluded corner of the pond, most people just left her alone.
One day, on an ordinary Sunday afternoon, an elderly gentleman named Tim was passing through the park. Tim was from out of town and wanted to see the local hot spots. He had heard about the duck pond at a nearby cafe and decided to pay the ducks a visit. While enjoying his leisurely stroll around the pond, he came across the Lady at the Pond. She was mixing colors for the clouds in her next landscape piece. Tim knew a thing or two about art. He found himself mesmerized by the Lady’s handiwork as her pencil danced across the canvas like a feather in the wind. Her technique gave away that she was no amateur. Tim had no choice; he simply had to pay her a compliment!
“Good afternoon, ma’am,” Tim approached her with his hat to his chest. “Forgive me for staring, but I couldn’t help but notice how excellent you are with that paintbrush! Could I trouble you with a few questions?”
“Mmm…” the Lady hummed. Tim was disconcerted by her curt response, but decided it would suffice as a go-ahead. He then proceeded to ask her a multitude of questions ranging from her personal tastes in art to if she had ever painted on a professional level. However, despite Tim’s enthusiasm, most of his questions were met with silence. Only a select few questions garnered at most an affirmative grunt from the Lady, who never once stopped her creative process while Tim fired question after question. This lasted a long time until Tim finally had enough with the one-sided conversation.
“Thank you for your time, ma’am, and my apologies again for disturbing you. Have a good evening.”
Tim excused himself, but before he could leave, the Lady slammed her brush down on her canvas stand. Tom froze. The Lady’s arms shot for her bag where she then produced a second blank canvas and a portable pop-up stool. Tim watched with wide eyes as she set up the stool at a frightening speed. Once it was ready, she returned behind her canvas stand, brush and color palette at the ready.
“…What?” Tim asked. “You want me to sit?”
She nodded. Tom obliged.
“Are you going to paint my portrait?”
She nodded again as she began taking mental measurements of Tim’s features.
“Oh, no no,” Tim stood up. “I couldn’t possibly accept this—”
The Lady cut him off mid-sentence and forced him back down onto the stool. She was unexpectedly strong for someone her age! Tim sat there, eyes blinking slowly. He then took out his wallet and pulled out a clean, hundred dollar bill.
“Well then, at the very least, allow me to pay for your work.”
The Lady waved his money away. She let out an angry huff every time Tim insisted. Tim gave up after about a dozen attempts. It was becoming all too clear that the Lady was going to have her way no matter what. He adjusted himself into a comfortable position and gave his best smile for the Lady. Might as well make it a good portrait.
Once Tim stopped protesting, the Lady closed her eyes and took exactly four deep breaths. Then, she stood there in complete silence. A minute passed without the Lady moving a single muscle. Then another. And another. Not a single sound.
Tim grew uneasy as the minutes passed by. Could this be some sort of pre-painting meditation ritual? Tim wasn't sure, but before he could do anything, the Lady let out an ungodly shrill shriek. Her face was pointed towards the sky as she cried out for what seemed like an eternity. Once she was done, she began swiping at her canvas with an intense fury. Her brushstrokes were erratic and violent, the complete opposite of her sophisticated, gentle pacing from earlier. Tim watched with fearful eyes. He refused to break his pose lest the Lady lash out at him next. But little did he know that despite the Lady's wild new handiwork, she was in the middle of creating a masterpiece of a portrait.
There was just one small catch… While the portrait's subject was indeed Tim, it was a painting of his younger self from his college days some 45 years ago.
As the Lady continued her creative process, Tim began feeling a prickly sensation all over his face. He tried to ignore it at first, but the pain soon became too much. Tim broke his pose and grabbed his face. It was like the inside of his skin was being poked by hot needles. As Tim kneeled over in pain, all the loose skin from old age began stretching and constricting. His flabby double chin tightened until he had his old jawline back. All the gray hairs in his mustache regained their brown color. Locks of healthy, brown hair came out in sprouts on his bald dome until he had a full head of hair again. Soon enough, Tim's face had fully reverted to a younger version of himself.
With the face of a college student and the body of an elderly man, Tim looked like a supernatural abomination.
“Huh? What’s going on? What’s happening to me? What’s wrong with my voice?” Tim shouted with a youthful vigor he had not had in decades. His hands reached for his throat. The needles were moving down his body, and all the while the Lady continued working on her latest masterpiece. She dabbed her brush with a fresh layer of paint, then focused on the finer details of Tim’s private area.
“ARGH FUCKK!!” Tim cried out. The needles were at his crotch now. He grabbed his nuts in pain as they swelled in size. He tried massaging them, hoping it would help soothe the pain, but all it did was make him moan. The pleasure was the most embarrassing part. His junk had become extra sensitive. Each touch sent another wave of warm pleasure throughout his crotch, causing him to moan obscenely. Within the next minute, Tim had experienced something he hadn't felt in a long time. A boner. It pressed against his pants, practically begging to be freed.
“FUCK!! Ohhh fuck why does it feel so good!?” Tim could not stop rubbing himself as his old man cock reverted back to its former glory. Tim let out deep, guttural groans as he pawed at his throbbing rod. His balls bounced with each stroke he managed to give himself through his pants. Once his family jewels were back in prime condition, they got to work almost immediately churning out fresh loads of extra fertile seed. Each load meant another surge of testosterone pumped out into the rest of Tim’s body. The hormones helped speed up the rest of Tim’s age reversal.
Tim arched his back as the warm, prickly sensation spread throughout his torso. All the flabby parts of his old body tightened. His thin, gray chest hair fell out to make space for new hair. His chest regained lost mass until each pec was nice, round, and firm with enough muscle to form chest dimples when he flexed. Each individual ab came out on his stomach with an audible pop, leaving him with a well-defined six pack with a fine layer of body hair. By the end of it, Tim's body had reverted back to his younger self.
Tim was panting. He was sweaty and sore due to the sudden transformation. He noticed the Lady had finished painting. Tim stumbled over to the canvas stand on unsteady feet. He took one good look at the completed portrait, then fell to his knees.
“H-H-How…? How d-did you know what I looked like when I was younger?” Tim looked up at the Lady. She remained quiet as usual.
“Why am I so young again? You…! Wh-what did you do to me!?”
Still no response. Although, there was a very faint smile that began cracking the Lady's face. The sight of it was enough to send Tim into a hyperventilating mess.
“You-YOU! You monster!!” Tim scrambled to get away from the Lady. “I don't know what you are or how you did this, but I'm telling everyone the truth about you!”
The Lady's smile vanished. She watched with a cold stare as Tim ran away. She grabbed her paintbrush, tapped it into the red paint on her palette, and swung it at the portrait, painting an ugly red circle on Tim's forehead. Once it was done, she smiled again.
Meanwhile, Tim was in the middle of a mad dash to get as far away from the Lady as quickly as his legs could carry him. He made it just outside the park boundary when an intense headache brought him to a screeching halt. The pain shot throughout the center of his skull, causing Tim to grab his head while screaming in agony. Then, one by one, memories he had accumulated over his adulthood began disappearing. His encounter with the Lady in the Park. His massive 50th birthday party with the whole family. His retirement from a long career of firefighting. The birth of his only daughter. His wedding day. His college graduation. His first date with his beautiful wife, the woman who changed him for the better. It was all gone within minutes. The memory wipe was incredibly thorough, only stopping once he regressed to his old self. Tim had become 22 years old again, both in mind AND in body.
Tim stumbled to get back on his feet. The world was spinning. Probably just a bad hangover again. Nothing Tim couldn't handle. He took a look at his surroundings. Tim had no idea where he was, but that didn't bother him too much. After all, a hottie wearing shorts that left little to the imagination just jogged past him. Tim watched the jogger's ass jiggle as they ran. Just the sight of that ass was enough to make Tim hard. There was already a precum mark in his boxers. When did that get there? Tim didn't know nor did he care. After all, he was about to score his next body. He was young, handsome, and strong with a confidence that practically glowed. He was him, and Tim knew that very well.
