Paul McCartney claimed he was in his teens when he wrote this song, and that sixty-four seemed like an eternity away. But life has a way to move forward if we like it or not.
For this round, we challenge you to write a story about a character turning sixty-four based on a line in the song When I'm Sixty-Four.
Please tell us which line you choose at the beginning of your story.
Your story must qualify as speculative fiction (feel free to pick whatever genre you like) and be written in English. It can be a maximum of 2500 words long.
