Shrink

   It was an old buddy's talking. We talked about how much we weigh and we have gained since the high school years. And basically, the point was time flies so fast whether being recognized or not. Of course, there was a sense of humor like 'we are losing time to live on but gaing wisdom to live with'. It was fun to share old times and not that bad at all. And all of sudden, I was told a word of shrink when we were talking about the other one. Because there was three of us, called three's company, who got along very well in the high school. The word of shrink was presented, while describing his appearance. He was not a type to gain a few kilos since the high school years. And I believed he is in good shape in despite of frequent drinking behavior. But the buddy on the phone described him in the other way around: he looks like he has been shrinked in terms of appearance. Even I summarized with the words that we are all gaining wrinkes and losing skin elasticity sooner or later, and it is a matter of time, the word of shrink was not faded away in my memory.

   I guess that's because it(shrink)'s the exact word to describe and explain of an abstract meaning that time flies so fast. And I am glad to find the word fit to that situation.
