3. Ben was born on April 14, 2013, and always looked forward to visiting his grandma.
4. He stood at a height of 4 feet 2 inches and weighed approximately 50 pounds.
5. With a mop of chestnut brown hair that fell into soft curls, his bright blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
6. Ben was a white boy, often seen running around in his favorite t-shirt, jeans, and light-up shoes.
7. His mom, Katie, was born on January 23, 1996.
8. Standing at 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds, Katie had long blonde hair that cascaded down her back.
9. Her deep green eyes reflected her kind and nurturing nature.
10. On this particular day, Katie wore a cozy green sweater, jeans, and comfortable sneakers.
11. Ben clutched a small box wrapped in bright pink paper with a shimmering silver ribbon.
12. Inside the box was a delicate bracelet made of multicolored beads—a gift he had chosen for a girl he liked at school.
13. He decided to take it with him to his grandma’s house, hoping to get her opinion on it.
14. With a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, Ben knocked on his grandma's door.
15. After a moment, the door opened to reveal his grandma, Margaret, who was holding a vintage purse on her shoulder.
16. Margaret, born on February 10, 1949, was a sprightly old lady standing at 5 feet 3 inches and weighing around 130 pounds.
17. Her silver hair was pulled back into a neat bun, and her blue eyes looked at Ben with a twinkle of sharpness.
18. Margaret wore a vibrant yellow floral tank top adorned with pink and green hibiscus flowers.
19. Her shorts were white with tiny green polka dots, reaching just above her knees.
20. She wore old lady strap-on sandals, beige with practical Velcro straps for ease.
21. Her purse was a worn-out leather bag she had purchased from a flea market 15 years ago.
22. Inside the purse were ten essential items:
23. 1) A cherry-flavored lip balm she had bought on a whim last month.
24. 2) A handkerchief embroidered with her initials, a gift from her late mother.
25. 3) A small bottle of aspirin, always ready for sudden headaches.
26. 4) A set of keys, including ones to her house, car, and an unknown lock.
27. 5) A mini sewing kit in case she needed to mend anything on the go.
28. 6) A half-used pack of chewing gum from last summer.
29. 7) A tiny calendar from 2015, which she used to jot down important dates.
30. 8) An old photograph of her husband, Bill, taken during their honeymoon 45 years ago.
31. 9) A paperback novel she was in the middle of reading.
32. 10) A small flashlight for emergencies.
33. Margaret was married to Bill for over 45 years, and they had one other child besides Katie.
34. On her hands, she wore five pieces of jewelry:
35. 1) Her wedding ring—a simple gold band, cherished for its history.
36. 2) A silver bracelet that Katie had given her last Christmas.
37. 3) A pair of gold earrings, gifts from her 30th wedding anniversary.
38. 4) A delicate emerald ring, a family heirloom.
39. 5) A dainty pearl necklace she wore on special occasions.
40. Her fingernails and toenails were painted a soft lavender hue that looked elegant yet understated.
41. Margaret looked at Ben and noticed the gift he was holding tightly.
42. "Oh, what do we have here?" she said, softly but sternly, as she swiped the gift from his hands.
43. "That's...that's for my friend!" Ben pleaded, "Please, Grandma, give it back."
44. "No, Benjamin. Not now," she replied in the same elderly tone.
45. "I told you she's leaving," she added and began walking away from the door.
46. She mentioned she needed to go run some errands and would be back soon.
47. As soon as Margaret left, Ben saw this as the perfect opportunity to get his gift back.
48. He tiptoed through the house, making his way to his grandma’s room.
49. He spotted the pink-wrapped box on the dresser and slowly walked towards it.
50. With his head not looking at the ground, his foot caught on something.
51. He tripped and stumbled, accidentally slipping his feet into his grandma's sandals.
52. "Ewww," Ben grimaced, grossed out as he had no intention of wearing them.
53. He ran to the living room, frantically trying to slip the sandals off his feet.
54. Then, he felt a strange sensation envelop his body.
55. His feet began to shrink, and his legs grew thinner.
56. The changes continued up his lower torso, transforming into the slender build of his grandma.
57. His upper chest shifted, and he felt his heart racing.
58. Next were his arms, which lost their youthful plumpness.
59. His hands became bony and wrinkled, the veins more pronounced.
60. Ben’s hair changed, the chestnut brown turning silver and forming a neat bun.
61. His once bright blue eyes began to dull slightly, taking on his grandma's sharp gaze.
62. The soft skin of his face became lined with age.
63. His voice started to change, rising in pitch to match Margaret’s tone.
64. His outfit morphed as well, his t-shirt and jeans becoming the floral tank top and polka-dotted shorts.
65. Ben’s sneakers morphed into the old lady strap-on sandals he had accidentally slipped into.
66. He watched in horror as his reflection in the living room mirror showed Margaret staring back at him.
67. "Oh no, what’s happening?" he whispered, panic in his voice.
68. Suddenly, he spoke differently, using old lady phrases and words.
69. "Land’s sakes! What on earth?" he exclaimed in a voice not his own.
70. He tried to beg for help but found himself talking just like his grandma.
71. Slowly, his memories started changing, influencing his thoughts.
72. "Oh no, Mommy, help me. I’m—I’m…" he cried, confused and scared.
73. His fear only grew as he couldn’t recall who he used to be.
74. Things about him became more like his grandma:
75. 1) His gait became slower and more measured.
76. 2) His posture adjusted to match Margaret’s.
77. 3) He began to recall her memories instead of his own.

94. 20) Finally, the full identity of Margaret took over, and Ben ceased to exist.
95. Glancing at the mirror, she said, "What am I still doing home? I’m supposed to be going to the grocery store like I told my grandson. Oh, come on, Margaret, you're 71 years old, and here you are dawdling."
96. With no memory of Ben left, she grabbed her purse and headed out to finish her errands.
97. As she walked, the final traces of Ben faded completely into her past.
