18 Again

“I’d like to try the 18 Again potion”.

Elizabeth looked at John inquisitively and asked “why the 18 Again potion? Mostly older people choose that one.” “Well I can guess that much, I just don’t like the feeling of aging and just want to feel younger and more invigorated again.” He then looked slightly downtrodden. “Ever since I threw myself into earning a degree and immediately went to work after earning it, I feel like I’ve missed some of my youth”. Elizabeth smiled kindly at him, “oh come on, your not old, and you didn’t waste your youth, you were just being responsible”. Placing her hand on his shoulder she added “plus now whenever you want to reexperience it again, you can just come to me”. Then light heartedly she laughed, “now let me get that potion mixed up for you!” She took back the booklet and quickly made her way to the cauldron gathering some nearby ingredients to herself. “I’ll get it done real quick, how about you help me make it, it’ll be fun”. “Okay” he replied, “though I don’t know how much help I’ll be”. “Oh don’t worry about it, I just need you to grab an ingredient or two”. She handed him a vial and a dropper and pointed to a large shelf “go get me 5 ml of liquid from that white vial and add it to the mix while I take care of the rest”. John quickly made his way to the large shelf, realizing for the first time just how many ingredients this massive shelf contained. After a full minute of searching he finally found a vial of white liquid. Just as he went to grab it though, he noticed another bottle of white liquid beside it. He became confused for a moment as he was not sure which one to grab as she had not specified any in particular. Both were labeled in Latin which he could neither read nor pronounce. He eventually decided that since she did not specify which one, it wouldn’t matter which one he chose. He finally made his decision.
