Finally enjoying my life (Patreon)

Ellie sat in the soft, warm sand, running her fingers through her blonde hair. It flowed like liquid gold, glinting under the sunlight in a way she had almost forgotten. A delighted smile lit up her youthful face as she adjusted her bikini and turned her gaze toward the mesmerizing ocean expanse.

Just a few months ago, Ellie had been a 75-year-old woman. Her once strong and healthy body had grown frail, the mirror reflecting a face etched with wrinkles, a lifetime of experiences. Although her mind was still sharp and her spirit remained undimmed, she felt the limitations her age put on her physical abilities.

One day, while rummaging through a local thrift store, she came across an unusual crystal. It had an alluring, iridescent glow that piqued her curiosity. Little did she know that this crystal was about to change her life forever. She held it in her trembling hands and immediately felt her body feeling hot. 

She stumbled through the store and felt a sharp pain in the back of her mind. The crystal pulsed, glowing brighter until it filled the room with its light. When the glow faded, Ellie found herself in an apartment she didn’t recognize. Upon finding a mirror, she was no longer an old woman at the brink of death, but a youthful girl bursting with life and vigor.

She was a beautiful blonde woman named Victoria. Ellie had spent her entire life being frugal, saving each penny she earned. She had amassed a substantial fortune, but what was the point when her failing health didn't allow her to enjoy it? But now, with her newfound youth, she didn’t have any limits imposed on her. Ellie had felt horrible about this though – she discovered that the crystal had been a swapping crystal. 

The last person who touched it had been Victoria, a cashier at the thrift store. When Ellie went to investigate where the crystal went, the staff had told her that the crystal broke in two after her old body had a heart attack. Victoria, trapped in Ellie’s elderly body, dropped the crystal while the heart attack consumed her life.

Now, Ellie was the new Victoria, and she promised herself to make the most out of Victoria’s life. She traveled to exotic places, explored diverse cultures, tasted different cuisines, and met new people. All the things she had been unable to do due to her fragile health, she was now doing without any fear or restraint.

Sitting on the beach, the sand warm against her youthful skin, Ellie felt a deep sense of satisfaction. She was relishing every moment, every experience, every joy that the crystal had granted her. She felt the sand sift through her fingers, a sensory pleasure she had long forgotten. Ellie looked out at the shimmering ocean, reflecting on her incredible journey. 

Ellie was lost in her thoughts when a shadow fell over her. She looked up to find a young man with a sexily lean build. He flashed her a charming smile and began to flirt with her. Ellie had been around enough men to know his intentions, yet he seemed sweet enough to toy around with. This was a second chance at life, an opportunity to make the most of every single moment, and she was determined to do just that.
