overheard childhood conversations, take a thousand
Little boy. Context seems to suggest he was six years of age. He is walking alongside his mother.
“What about an Age Power? It’d turn everyone into a six year old!”
After that sort of deliberate pause in order to think of best way to humor him, mom says “That would be interesting.”
My thought on that scenario would be that it would turn into a Dystopian Horror, which would have to be untangled with a certain percentage of the six year olds having to become “Wise Beyond Their Years” to take up in a real hurry to pick up Societal Leadership Roles — I suppose you can call this vaguely Randian fable. There will likely be a somber feeling to this feat, a real sense of Innocence Loss.
I don’t think that is where the six year old boy is going with his story, though. At least, I hope not.
