Entropy - 2

It's inevitable. Your muscles start shrinking, bones undergo microfractures, the lens of your eyes gradually become thickened and the colour changes from clear to milky. Half of your smell and taste sensations are gone, the most mouthwatering dish becomes bland, ice cream is no longer sweet.

Even with the most careful diet, even without the risk factors of obesity and smoking, your risk of getting diabetes steadily rises. So does your blood pressure. Hypertension. To coronary heart disease, glomerulosclerosis, stroke.

Gradually your memory slips away. And you forget who you are. Even if you recognise your loved ones, you no longer feel a connection with them. Can't quite comprehend how they became, and how they are your children, your spouse, your sibling.
