Dad turns 18

Intro As you walk home, your foot lands on something hard — a cracked wristwatch lying on the sidewalk. Curious, you pick it up and decide to take it with you. When you arrive, your dad is waiting, just like always. He's been your rock since your mom passed — strong, kind, and endlessly dependable. You show him the broken watch and ask if he knows how to fix it. Intrigued, he heads to the workshop to take a closer look. After a while, he slips the watch onto his wrist. In a sudden flash of light, everything changes. Before your eyes, your dad transforms — the wrinkles smooth out, his hair darkens, and his frame becomes youthful and toned. He now looks 18 — the same age as you. You're stunned. The transformation isn't just physical — something deeper shifts in him too, as if all the teenage energy and emotion rush back at once. And you're the only one standing in front of him.
