The city of young people

Dylan was a young man. He was also a traveller. Usually, whenever he goes to places, he would visit their small towns. One day, Dylan was travelling somewhere. When he reached that place, he went to its small towns.

Now, this particular small town, was different from the other towns that he had visited. When he was in the small town, he noticed something. In that town, nobody, was old. He was amazed by what he had discovered.

“You must be new here.” Said a lady who suddenly appeared. 

“Yup. And I’m wondering, why is everyone in this town, not old?” Asked Dylan while his eyes scanned the town and not looking at the lady.

“Well, this town has secret. By the way, I’m Emma.” Said the lady.

“Nice to meet you Emma I’m Dylan.” Said Dylan finally looking at the Emma’s face.

“Now, could you let me in on this secret?” Asked Dylan. His voice full with curiosity.

“Sure. The secret is that, we townsfolk made a potion that can make us never grow old. Everyone in this town has been given this potion.” Explained Emma.

“Do you like this whole ‘not grow old’ thing?” Asked Dylan.

“Of course I do!” Said Emma happily.

“This is all not right. I have to fix this. It’s a good thing that I have a potion that can make everybody their real age.” Said Dylan who didn’t realise that Emma could hear him.

“Don’t you dare make that potion!” Shouted Emma on the top of her lungs.

“I’m sorry Emma but I have to.” Said Dylan as he ran away from Emma.

“Townsfolk! That man that’s running away wants to make us our real age! Stop him!” Shouted Emma.

At that moment, the whole town was chasing Dylan like zombies. Dylan ran as fast as he could. He took out a spray bottle out from his bag.

When he reached the highest part of the town, he sprayed the potion out of the bottle. At that moment, he saw the townsfolk turn into dust. Which means that they are actually really old. Thousands maybe.  

Dylan walked through the deserted town. Exploring it.

However, he didn’t know that the potion didn’t get to all of the townsfolk. Only one of them was alive. That person was quietly watching Dylan walking through the city. And that person was Emma…
