halfamoon | Day 9 Theme

Unless a character is some kind of immortal, aging is a part of life. Explore how aging (either their own or someone else’s) affects your favorite character.

Here are some ideas for inspiration: physical changes and limitations, hormones going wild (or not going wild), added responsibilities. Does the character age gracefully or are they fighting it all the way? How do they react the first time they aren’t asked for identification or the first time they’re referred to as ma’am? What are the things they know at forty that they wish they’d known at twenty? If the character is an immortal, how do they deal with not aging?

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.
