Return of the rejuvenated fool

I'm having too much fun doing this. If you feel something's stupid or unreadable remember: this is for the writer, not a reader. Onwards!

Everyone came, even them who had abandoned the family for long for they knew the implication of the invitation and the possibility of hs return for they didn't want to get on his wrong side despite no falling on the same side politically as their ancestor for he was a scary presence, domineering after them despite having gone for more than three decades, there was not a chance he was back obviously because he'd be approaching his nineties if not comfortably in them and he'd die soon enough nothing to fear but a chance at owning a part of his estate getting a portion of whatever financial remains he'd left behind was like a magnet to each one of the descendants, and thus they showed up at the lawyers' offices in a large stately room built during the british era to host the governor's parties and now...this, whatever it was...three impeccably dressed lawyers stood at the front, their small briefcases by their sides, holding important-looking pieces of paper, checking their watches with great urgency and keeping an eye at the doors, a few minutes later several old men entered, partners of the firm the clan knew having dealt with them occasionally on matters of the state, the oldest of the bunch sat them all down and asked for silence, inquired if everybody was present, and said there was something of a major declaration to be made, he said that their beloved grandfather, uncle or however they may be related to him had about thirty years ago left the town for a long journey, in reality he had gone for a special medical procedure that was in experimental phase and hadn't successfuly been executed, after thirty years they were proud to say that such and such group of doctors at a such and such facility in a such and such western country had successfully completed and whatever the old man had wanted he had now, they talked about some sort of plasma transplant how you could put in the blood of the young into old people, do some other celluar donation and basically they said he was an old man in a young person's body, with much fanfare they showed towards the room and waited for his entrance, the grand entrance of the old man, and he did, he entered the room in slick blue trousers, dark black shoes and a well-fitting suit, he looked not a year older than fifty-five, one could take him for being a well-aged 45 yearold man, and he was in good shape, his hair was fluffy like it had always been and his cheeks were sunken in but you could tell it was their old man, the patient walked at a slow pace, his rosy sunbeaten cheeks reflecting wisdom and confidence, looked at the crowd with pride and said, in the same voice that had caused such great fear and trepidation for do many years, my children, I have returned like I told you, I see you haven't followed all the rules that I set about but not to worry I anticipated that and didn't let go of my estate completely, all the land that this town stands on is still ours, we are partial owners of it, and it shall come back to us in a matter of few short decades from now, like we said before, we shall rightfully rule this place and set it right, the people know what they want which is why they have chosen our abode, look at the peace the security and the prosperity of our community and compare it with the rest of the shit that is happening in our country, the governance of our ways has been proven to be right, and what the rest of the country has done is wrong, and it will be upto us to take over and make sure everyone is ascended to this level of greatness and prosperity and they give us the respect and veneration that we deserve, and yes your eyes re not deceiving you your ears are not lying for it is I, and I have completed the long medical journey we talked about such a long time ago, we have defeated time, we have defeated age, and with our age and power, we shall rule for eternity, first the larger city then the country and then the whole humankind, for they too will want our secrets, they too will want peace and prosperity, agelessness and immortability and we alone can provide to them so welcome, welcome to the new world, where you are the rulers, the new order begins now! Everybody clapped. Even the lawyers. Even the great-grandchildren who were horrified of the idea. He had such an effect on people.
