What If You Aged 10x Slower?

You were born in 1956. You're 70. Bouncers still check your ID twice. But aging 10x slower isn't magic — and the price is everyone you love. Theo ages ten times slower than everyone else. He gets to try everything: flying planes, cooking in Paris, a fortune that doubled 32 times. He also has to vanish every 10 years, watch his wife grow old, and hide from a lab that wants his cells.
