All the Time in the World

By Douglas Greene

I couldn't allow Ken to just walk away; after all, he said some very mean things.

He made fun of my weight, and called me some awful names, but that's ok, I'm a tough old gal with a thick skin. But he went too far when he laughed at my interest in the occult and black magic. I remember him saying that only stupid people believed in such things.

I'm guessing that his opinion is different now.

I've never done this to a person before. Last week, I turned a stray dog into a little puppy, but a human being is completely different. I have to tell you, the past few days have really been interesting.

At first, I wondered if my spell would transform Ken into a real baby, or put him in a baby's body. I got my answer the moment he woke up; the expression on his face said it all. Judging by the way he was screaming, it must be difficult to wake up and discover that the only thing you are wearing is a diaper fashioned out of a small kitchen towel.

Of course, we still have a lot of questions. If Ken could talk, he'd probably ask me if my spell is permanent. I honestly don't know; the book didn't say. It could be that he's like this for good, or he may be growing like any little kid. In any case, I'm set up for the long haul. I bought a playpen and a changing table; I think they are delivering the crib this afternoon. The spare bedroom is beginning to look like a regular nursery!

All things considered, Ken is adjusting really well. I think that he must be afraid that I'll do something else to him because he's cooperating perfectly. Yesterday when he was being fussy and willful, I threatened to make him younger. I guess he must have believed me.

I think he looks adorable in this little white stretch suit, don't you? I want to dress him in some of the other outfits that were delivered today, but he looks a little tired so I think I'll put him down for a nap.

We're in no hurry; after all, we might have all the time in the world.
