Twenty Years

It had been twenty long years, but Dr. Eugene Warner was finally ready to give Margaret her body back. He had kept her brain alive so carefully in this jar that whole time. He had always intended to return this body to her, but it had taken him such a long time to find a new donor for him to transplant his own brain into. That time had finally arrived. Shortly after midnight tonight, Eugene would have his mind placed inside yet another new body. And then Margaret’s brain could return to her body as well. She’d probably be in for quite a shock, as she’d find herself twenty years older in what felt like to her as a matter of seconds. In the jar, her brain was sort of in a coma -- unaware of the passage of time and oblivious to any experiences. It would be certainly interesting to study her once he was in his new body!
