"Well, you could do another round with that game, or you could make up a new one. It's up to you, for in this show, you are always a winner, no matter how little you get"

"Ok" I said an octave higher that unsual. I felt a bit cocky from the last round, so I decided on something a little risky. "Why don't we play a "Dare" game. You have to dare me to be an age and do something related to that age. If I do it, I become twenty again. If not, I stay that age for the round. That sound good?" I ask
The crowd of people watching gave a gasp. It was the ultimate challenge of letting inhibitions go.

"so let me get this straight, I tell you to become an age, you become it then do something related to being that age?" he asked clarifying the rules.

"Yes, that is correct. And if I don't do it, I stay that age for the round. If I do it, I return to my original age of twenty. Sorry for confusing you"

I had a feeling he would pick a young age, I got lucky with last round.
The tingling was much more powerful as I descended to my kindergarten days. The obvious thing was my height, as it slowly started dimishing until I reached 13, and then I took the biggest ungrowthspurt I ever had in my life.
No longer a "teen", more of an innocence look to over me. My hair stared becoming lighter, face and body accumulating baby-fat, and clothes growing increasingly large. When I finally reached age five, I realized everyone was looking at me. It felt cool being five, but with people staring at me, I felt exposed. the only thing that was keeping me from being naked was my over-sized shirt. I decided to ask what the host wanted me to do.
"Okay" I paused to take note of my childish laugh and how people in the audience were laughing at it. "What do you want me to do?"

"Hmmm...how about...you take a spelling test!" He says laughing...
The audience ooohs and ahhs.

"A spelling test!" I nearly yelled in shock. I was thinking something physical, not mental. I started thinking that it wasn't such a bad challenge, but then I tried to think of words I already knew. I then realized, I forgot most of my knowledge in the regression! I still had my memories, but not my education.
"Ok..." I say with a worry. "What's the word?"

Oh, that was an easy word! That was an animal every kid learned in kindergarten.
"Ummmm, Elephant. E-L-E...-F-A-N-T. Elephant!" I say pretty confident and sounding like a true kindergartener.
The host and audience just chuckled

Nooo! I just humiliated myself in front of the audience, and being five didn't help control my emotions. I started tearing up a little bit, and sounded like I scraped my knee as I explained the next round.
"Ok...there are five cases, each either saying "Lose # Years" or "Age # Years". I'll pick one of the cases and become one of the ages." I say, a little nervous.

Suddenly the cases appear, each in the hand of girls the same age as you, wearing pretty sun dresses.
"Make your choice!" The host says...

In the back of my mind, I think "Yuck, girls...cooties"
"I'll pick case #3" I say, hesitantly. I hope it wasn't a "Lose Years" case, any younger and I would be a toddler...or a baby.
"Ok!" said the host "Open that case little lady!"
The little girl opened the case and exposed a "Lose 3 Years" case

You feel a numb feeling on the inside of your stomach, knowing your fate.
"Great' you say as the world starts to get bigger again.
