So what if the opportunity lessens?
Then even the unrelated things started to converge together, making even most unrelated persons thirty for each other\'s blood.

Melina was a midnight store employee. Her shift starts late at night to all the way till dawn. Sometimes, she also works for evening shift.
After all, Everything was for her son, Barry. Only for her, she was enduring all these.
\' Barry was talking about some sort of sports scholarship. I truly hope he gets that.\' Melina looked at her reflection on the phone.
Her face was filled with freckles and wrinkles, dark patches under her eyes. With rough skin and sagging bones, she felt like she aged quite more than her original age.
\' Ugh, This is really taking a toll on my body. I feel like the aging somehow increased quite a lot.\'
\' Haah, Melina, Don\'t you remember how much of a hottie you were in the college? Look at you now, an old single mom.\'
" Oi, Are you deaf? I asked you where the snacks counter is."
Melina returned to her senses and saw a man in rather rough clothing standing before him.
" Go to the left and you will find it." Melina rolled her eyes.
This part of downtown was never peaceful. Melina worked here for three years, yet she still feels utter disgust from here.
" Hehe, You look pretty frustrated, girl." The man gave her a lecherous grin. " How about we go to the restroom? Fifty bucks?"
Rolling her eyes, Melina snorted. " If you don\'t want to get your instant noodles, you can fuck off."
" Whoa, What about a hundred bucks?" The man insisted. " Uggh, A tough bitch you are, huh? Hundred and fifty is my max…"
" Hey, Mike. We got a customer here." Melina simply picked the phone and called. The man was surprised. " Wa-Wait, Who are you calling?"
" Me, Motherfucker!"
A guard came out and clutched the collar of that man. " You are making problems here?"
" N-No, It was…Just a joke! I was joking!"
The guard was with a gun. So the man gulped a mouthful of saliva as he turned around to leave.
" Shitty place, shitty people." Melina snorted as she pulled out a cigar for a puff. However, at that moment, a lady in a black suit approached her.
" Are you Miss Melina?"
" Yes?" Melina was a bit surprised as she looked at that woman.
" If you have any time, would you like to have a conversation with me? I assure you, it will benefit you."
*Outside of Store*
" So, You are saying my body is compatible with one of your experimental medicine and you want me to participate in testing?"
" Indeed, You are correct." The lady nodded. " However, I know you must have a lot of doubts and fear. After all, no one knows the side effects of such medicines, right?"
" Glad you know what you are talking about." Melina gave a sarcastic smile.
" However, Rest assured. Our medicine already passed human trials, It\'s just we are giving samples to a handful of people to get their reviews." The lady smiled. " You know, some last minute adjustments. But nothing fatal for health."
" I am sorry, But I don\'t want any shady drug inside my blood." Melina snorted. " I have a son to look after."
" Well, Hear me out first." The lady insisted. " We are from a reputed pharmaceutical company. And what we are giving you is simple."
" It\'s called Rejuvenation Pill. Made from the esoteric ways of Xia Nation\'s ancient herbs, it can rejuvenate a person\'s health and age."
" So like those creams which will make you appear 20 years young?" Melina rolled her eyes.
" Indeed, But won\'t just make you appear." The lady smiled mysteriously. " It will truly make you one."
" Anyway, here is the bottle and ten grand cash. Do whatever you want."
Melina was stunned as she received three things. A porcelain bottle, a contact number and hard cash of ten thousand federal dollars.
" Wai-Wait! Why are you giving me money?"
" Think of this as a meeting gift." The lady grinned as she left hurriedly.
Melina was stunned as she looked at the bottle. " Three pills, One pill per day. And after three days, I can contact this number and receive fifty grands more?"
\' Gosh, Melina, Are you seriously going to do that?\' She bit her lips. \' However, Sixty grands total, our family will have a lot of funds. Should I take this risk?\'
\' She…She said it\'s not fatal at all. Like…It\'s a beauty product, right? What could go wrong?\'
*Three days later*
Melina woke up as she rubbed her face. \' Ungh, It\'s been a while since I slept so well. My body…It feels so good.\'
\' Hmm? My skin feels kinda soft?\'
Melina didn\'t mind as she got up to wash her face. Barry said he was going to his friend\'s house for a few days. Melina wanted to stop him, but since he insisted, she let her go.
However, when she looked at the mirror, she almost jumped back with a scare.
" Wh-What the…What the fuck?"
She pinched her cheeks, and rubbed her lips. Her eyes widened as she looked at her reflection.
" Th-This is me?"
There was a layer of oil and grime on her body. Yet her face, it looked exceptionally youthful. As if she was looking through a mirror that reflected her image of her early twenties.
\' That woman…she didn\'t lie to me? My goodness, to think a miracle medicine like this exists?\'
She quickly got into the shower and washed off her body properly. As she came out, she stood before the mirror and admired her naked body,
" Holy shit! It\'s really me. Not just my face but my whole body… My whole body became younger?"
That day, Melina tried her old dresses. The ones who didn\'t fit her for quite some years now fits her perfectly. She was practically looking like a woman in her late twenties, all prim and beautiful.
She took out her phone and called the contact number.
" Hello, Miss Melina. I believe our medicine worked as prescribed?"
" It\'s simply a miracle! I feel like I became young once again!" Melina spoke hurriedly.
" Very well, Please monitor your condition and keep giving us updates. We shall send you half of fifty thousand dollars right away."
" Please enjoy your day and treat yourself to some good food and clothes."
Melina was ecstatic as she received twenty five grands instantly.
" Hahaha! I am rich! I am really rich! Should I buy something for Barry?"
" Mhm, Let\'s go for shopping. I will buy him the jacket he longed for months."
In the shopping mall, Melina purchased everything she desired. Top brand purses, flashy clothes, some high quality chocolate, and steak for the dinner…
However, suddenly, her eyes fell on the adult toy section. A strange burn appeared in her lower abdomen, making her eyes misty.
\' Mm… It\'s been a while since I used those, right? Mine got broken a year ago. Should I…\'
\' Ugh, What if Barry finds out? That would be awkward. But he isn\'t here…So…\'
Biting her lips, Melina walked in to buy a brand new magic stick.
However, she didn\'t know that light hearted stimulation going to turn on a switch she never thought that existed.
