Incompatible
A flash
She said:
‘I prefer the brain and the personality I have now to the one I had when I was younger…
What a shame the body I had when I was younger was better than the one I have now…’
She shrugged.
‘But maybe the two were never compatible…’
He said:
‘What a shame we can’t go back in time.’
She said:
‘I wouldn’t go back even if I could,’ and opened the empty suitcase onto the bed, satisfied she was doing the right thing.

Sounds like a scene in a great play!
What a world of emotion you’ve captured in so few words here Rachel. Excellent!
Capturing so much emotion and feeling in so few words is very hard, but you made this look easy. Not a word wasted in this excellent flash.
That is a brutal twist, and so well done.
Wow.
You really packed a lot into so few words. Very nice!
Being satisfied with ourselves and our choices – doesn’t seem like it should be as hard as it is. Nice.
Bravo!
Ahh… This is wonderful.
