| Abstract: | There
was a hoarse cry from the man as he slumped helplessly on a chair. It seemed as if he had lost all his
energy. Inspector Rane was looking at
him with unbelieving eyes. Slowly and
slowly the man was changing. His
beautiful hair was falling about him, balding him. The hair on his nape was graying. His eyes, going inside their sockets were
getting smaller and smaller. Wrinkles on
his forehead, cheeks shrunk. His
well-built body receded – his clothes hanging loose. He looked like a man more than fifty. “Why,you look old! What happened to you allof a sudden!” cried his wife. Inspector Rane was looking at him astounded, as if he were seeing a horror film. Humans attain old age slowly over many years
in a dignified way, but getting old all of a sudden – in a matter of minutes –
and that too old by twenty years in such an unbelievably short time was a most
unlikely happening. But it was all happening before him! |
