Jack Caruthers had been following his own research into the fountain of youth. Piecing together various clues, dismissing the false leads, and had finally hacked his way through the jungle. Leaving the rest of his party behind, the tempting peak nearby was the goal... as far as the rest of his group knew.
Only Jack knew the true purpose of the trip, and a quick look at his view on the satellite image confirmed the nearby water source. Waiting until everyone was busy setting up the camp, and resting for the day ahead.
Sinking to his knees at the rocky shore, he cautiously took a taste. The water was magnificent, delicious and chill and far more refreshing. It tingled down his throat as he swallowed, he could feel his body rejuvenating...
Satisfied it was real... his discovery was verified. He threw caution to the winds, and started to wade into the water. His skin prickled as the water rose, not painful, just invigorating, as he felt more youthful, the aches and pains easing with every step deeper into the water.
He barely noticed as the water worked its magic on his clothes... In his enthusiasm, and haste, he plunged beneath the surface sculling a few strokes, and basking in the rejuvenating body.
