Prompt: "Give us a brief glimpse into your life at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60... 70. Make it exaggerated and humorous."

10-40 I was addicted to drugs. 40-60 are still being written. I've earned four degrees and landed a job.

Prompt: "I glanced out the window at the signs of spring. The sky was almost blue, the trees were almost budding, the sun was almost bright. ”Millard Kaufman said, but then...

But then it started to rain.
