Birthday Mix-Up

Imagine waking up on your 18th birthday to discover you’ve aged 30 years instead, write about your adventures over the next week.

Coming-of-age stories often focus on the transition from adolescence to adulthood, but what if one dramatically leapfrogged across several decades overnight? What would life look like? How would relationships change? What adaptations would you have to make? Explore an absurd growth spurt in this prompt that challenges you to consider how maturity and time affect personal identity and life choices.
