The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a short story published during 1921. It was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. A film adaptation was made in 2008, based on the short story.
The story is about the life of a person called Benjamin Button. He was born with the physical traits of an old man, but as he ages, he becomes younger. Eventually his body ages into an infant.
The idea of someone physically aging backwards is something that really caught my attention. It's uncomprehendable how a boy with a physical feat of an old man could feel like, likewise, when his mental age turns old, his body becomes a child. His experience in life would be twisted. Normally the mind and body would work together in the flow of getting older. When the body works in the complete opposite, it's hard to even try to understand how the mind and body collaborates.
This has really got me thinking in how an experience can also be something out of the norm as well as weird and not just something new.
