A Story A Day. Story 223 of 365: Gerascophobia.

-Miss Vanhanen, I'm sorry, but I think you can't go under the knife anymore.
-What do you mean, I can't?- she replied with a high-pitched tone.
-It's too dangerous,... At your age lots of things can go awry,...
-My age! I'm still young!
-Miss Vanhanen, we both know that you are close to seventy.
-Don't tell me my damn age! Anyway, the point is that I don't look seventy, and I want to do whatever there is in my hand to stay this way.
-Miss Vanhanen- the doctor replied- you really need to understand that this ins not a game. I can't operate you, it's not ethical, and the risk is too high.
-I don't care! I'd rather die than look old!
