The short exposure to the machine’s effects hadn’t reduced her to childhood like it had us, but the effects could be seen immediately. It was like looking at a series of old photographs being flipped in reverse order; the gray in her hair vanished immediately, followed by the crowsfeet in the corners of her eyes, the wrinkles at the corners of her lips vanished almost as soon as the grey in her hair had. I was seeing my mother as I remembered her from my childhood. Her cheeks took on a healthy glow as her brown hair became lustrous again.
