announced that he was planning on removing 35 years, and in this way, instantly aging the 25-year-old Fred to 60.

If not for the fact that it was on live TV, it would have been attributed to the work of a special effects editor. A gray streak suddenly appeared оn his assistant’s head, and then his hair fell out in a wide swath, making a bald spot, and became strewn all over his shoulders.

Bags under his eyes became really deep, and his skin became wrinkled, as though from rapidly increased gravity. His assistant’s face became discolored and lost its pallor, and his physique became bag-like. In just a few seconds his body experienced 35 years of living and lost its youthfulness. “So, my dear audience, half the life of our friend has migrated into this tiny little machine, which I am holding in my hands,” Coifman continued. “That is, the chronomatizer has taken away 35-years of his biotime. And this charge can be returned to that very same victimized body, which I personally intend to do. Though, in fact, it can be injected into any other human organism! For example, into mine – and then I would become physically younger than my assistant. What do you think of that prospect, my friend?”
