…at two very different ages, and describe his or her day at each age.
Davin was at the top of his game. At the cusp of 30, he’s accomplished everything he set out to do. Already near the top of his advertising firm, married to a beautiful woman and expecting his first kid, the life of the world beating go-getter was a life worthy of envy. Not that there weren’t concerns of course. The house needed a new foundation and the his car was making that strange clunking sound again. His dog recently got diagnosed with worms and needed special medication that was a fight and a half to get him to take. Worst of all, his father was battling a losing fight against cancer.
A huge difference to the time Davin’s only concerns are eating and sleeping. A simpler time, he has no real worries beyond that draft that’s chilling him. He sees the faces of people he barely recognizes as they talk to them in funny little voices. He’s heard their words again and again but their meaning is all but lost to them. It doesn’t concern him as he lives his life as he wants, sleeping whenever and wherever he pleases and crying out for attention whenever he’s hungry. Then, as he feels a familiar rumble and he promptly soils his diaper, a rarely clear thought passes through his once young and vibrant brain: being 95 is no 30.
Behind the Random: This one is another hard topic to do. At first, I had to decide if I was going to do a serious comparison betwen two ages or if I was going to try and make it humourous. Obviously I attempted to go with both at this point. Then I had to decide which ages to do. At first, I thought it was a no-brainer and I was going to point out the similarities between being a helpless infant and being old and infirm. That proved harder than I predicted and time was running out so I instead decided to do the ol’ bait and switch and throw a twist at the end.
