Small Town South
(UC scene) Sam Byrd.
A bright-skin girl the color of a new saddle hung on to his coat-tail and peeked out at us. Her bare toes were buried in the ooze of a mud puddle and her dress seemed almost too strained to hold her growing body any longer. Her blunt breasts pressed against the threadbare gingham as if she had slipped cups from a child's tea set inside her blouse.
books
Veronica
(old age, age stasis, AR) Nicholas Christopher. Leo meets Veronica, the beautiful, enigmatic daughter of an illusionist.
p242: With each passing second, Viola's youthful face grew paler. Her forehead narrowed. Wrinkles appeared: single, then multiple, grooves along her brow, crow's feet around her eyes, and spidery lines that fanned around her cheeks. As if we were watching decades of film footage condensed and sped up, Veronica and I saw her twin age fifty years in fifteen seconds.
And there was Alta lying before us, white-haired, with sunken cheeks, incongruously dressed in the blue and black polka-dot dress that swam on her bony frame. Her eyes - the opposite of Veronica's, the right one green, the left blue - were nearly washed of their color.
She parted her lips, and for the first and only time spoke, after ten mute years, in a small, high voice.
A moment later, I saw Viola's image, stark naked, rise up out of Alta's body and disappear into the eastern sky, trailing a line of gold vapor.
...As Veronica laid Alta's head down on the tiles, her body had shrunk even further, until she was no larger than a child.
"...the night of May 4th ten years ago and this moment - merged. She came around from two different directions and met herself in time."
"And as a result of her shuttling across what we consider zones of time, she has remained the same age for the last ten years. She may continue to do so for some time. Or the aging process may at any time accelerate - or reverse itself. What is clear is that her physiological chronology has been altered. As for Albin White, he may well come back a Methuselah, or an infant."
"Do you mean that the travel will affect me as it's affected her?" I said.

Darknesses
(male age disguises) L.E. Modesitt.
p375: "He is making himself look older than he is? Has someone taken his place? Someone younger? ... Are you certain it is Enyll?"
"...I have known Enyll since he was a child. His features have not changed..."
"Then he has discovered a way to become younger?"

Space Station Seventh Grade
(ARed allusion) Jerry Spinelli.
p102: You could get younger and younger - till you're a baby again!
p103: He just goes into orbit around it. Waiting. Growing.
The grandmother. They put her into the freeze-dried grandmother launch pad and send her off. ...faster and faster, and pretty soon the grandmother is going as fast as light. Then faster than light.
And so her time is different from everything else's time. Her time starts to go backward. It goes back to the day she died. And then she un-dies, and it's the day before she dies, and then the week before, and she's going faster and faster, and getting younger and younger, and by the time she reaches Alpha Centauri she's only fifty years old. Or maybe even forty.
And there waiting for her is her grandchild. ...what she has to do is slow down, and that means she'll start getting old again and die.

Plague of the Invigilare
(AR, OA, APed, male) Joseph DeMarco.
p201: staring at the aged photograph, not speculating if it was Tradere or not ... but how my patient could be the same age in the photo as he was now...
...1984. I figured he'd have to be under the age of ten and that was a liberal estimate.
p205: He winced, then came out of his trance saying "It was nice seeing you, Doctor, but if you'll excuse me, I have some personal business to attend to."
He reached out his hand, and I knew what was coming next.
...my flesh tingled, and I felt my grip on reality loosen even more...
The professor stood next to me holding my minuscule hand, aging several years in a matter of seconds. His hair had turned all white, his skin sunk in, and his spine hunched over, then this tide reversed itself and he began to look younger.
I felt myself begin to cry, ball my eyes out, as the professor held my hand...
p208: ...the same being, the same entity, somehow with the ability to change age rapidly, unlike the rest of us.
p229: Then gradually the scars closed until they were merely thin lines on his face.
"I am an invigilare, an age shifter, one of the watchers," he claimed, showing no resentment whatsoever, "forced to watch the earth evolve for all eternity, cursed by god to age ten human years every day of the week. Every monday at dawn I officially die and start the nightmarish progression over again."
p238: "... As for the rest of the fallen, well we were given a curse: shifting ages every day, never being able to live a normal life," he stated with dark tears rolling down his cheeks.

Silken Shadows
(UC scene, female growth BE'd) Jennifer St Giles.
Still he hesitated. Swallowing any uncertainty, I slid the first button of my dress loose, moving to the second, then the third. As I fumbled with the fourth button he groaned and pushed away my fingers and deftly undid the buttons all the way to my waist, peeling back the edges to expose the thin chemise stretched too tautly over my aching breasts. I usually outgrew my clothes bosom first, and things had been snug of late, but never this tight. It was as if my breasts had swelled from my need for him.
I arched my back again and several buttons on my chemise popped off.
"Hell," he whispered. ... then he finished the deed. The rest of the tiny chemise buttons popped and cool air fanned my breasts as they spilled free from the binding.
"Nothing's wrong. You're just so... blessed."
Looking as awed as I felt, he leaned down...

Pea Brain
(male growth spurt, male UC) Janette Brazel.
p22: If you want to play basketball, Bruce, you're going to have to do a lot of growing," Robbie said matter-of-factly.
p96: Violet hugged Bruce then looked him up and down.
"You're growing up right before my eyes and I hadn't noticed it. Look how short your jeans are. We must get you some new pants next week if things are going well!"
Bruce looked down at his jeans. Violet was right, his jeans were sitting a good few centimeters above his joggers. He had grown! And he hadn't even noticed.
Perhaps his growth spurt was finally happening. He saw himself charging down the basketball court, dodging defenders and putting on a perfectly executed...
p130: Sure enough, Bruce was taller than the mark left on Saturday. "Three centimeters, Robbie! I've grown three centimeters in less than a week. No wonder I've been feeling lousy, my body's going through a huge growth spurt!" Bruce proceeded to bounce around the room, whooping with pleasure. Then he picked up his basketball and...
Robbie followed Bruce into the séance room. She looked him up and down, a strange expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Bruce asked.
"Look how short your pants are." Robbie burst out laughing. Bruce checked out his skinny legs sticking from his jeans, which were now halfway up his shins.
p152: Closing his eyes, Bruce realized his toes were touching the end of his bed. I'm still growing,...

(accelerated growth) V.C. Andrews.
p137: "You noticed your breasts developing," she prompted. "You saw hair appear. What did you do about it?" "Nothing." "Did you tell your mother right away or..."
p431: ...his little girl had crossed that mysterious boundary into womanhood. At the age of eleven, my body had charged out of the gate like some impatient Olympic runner before the sound of the starting pistol. I had lurched forward and at times felt as if I was being rushed into my adolescence by a traitorous inner self that on its own, seemingly overnight, had decided to begin forming my breasts, curving my buttocks, narrowing my waist, ... and there I was at the time, finishing the fifth grade.
p433: ...making me look like some pervert just because I was studying your accelerated development and she caught me measuring your budding breasts ...

Deep Secret
(male FF APed UC, female maturation) Diana Wynne Jones.
p308: She was the old Maree in every way. She was the right color again, though pale, and her hair was once again brownish though possibly even bushier.
For some reason, she was now wearing the woefully ragbag skirt and top in which I had first seen her, and large soft shoes that put me in mind of the children on the hill. Even her fingernails had grown long and spiked again.
With all this, she was a whole new Maree. It was hard to say how, but I knew immediately that the same change which had overtaken the quacks had overtaken Maree too. It was not that she was older. It was not that she was more, or larger. It was as if she had not been filling her proper ... outlines before this. Now she did. A small, small measure of the change was that she now looked good in her woeful old garments. She looked astonishingly good.
p311: Nick surprised Maree by opening both eyes and eating the lunch we had brought. Then he too said he needed to change. I looked at him properly for the first time and saw that he was wearing clothes as ragged as Maree's, very short and tight, as if he had grown out of them, and shoes through which his toes showed. Something to do with Babylon, evidently, although neither Rick nor Maree said so.
...as if there was an embargo on their talking about their time in the dark landscape.

B J: A Supernatural Horror Story
(female growth CB, kinda OA disguise) Kimile Aczon.
The woman shrieked at her, "Take my hand! Take my Goddamned hand, you old hag!" Wilda took a hesitant step back and the woman's face, in a cluster of rage, slowly changed into a hideous caricature of the young Wilda Elvers.
Her eyes turned from hazel into a shimmering grey and filled with a look of malice and loathing. Her eyebrows expertly arched, grew hairy and connected at the bridge of her now misplaced nose. Her nose now sat on the side of her cheek, and her mouth, once ruby-red and sensuous, became an ugly slit of black and blue at the bottom of her chin directly below her bibulous nose. Her hair fell out in clumps. Long strands of burnished brown slowly fell to the floor.
The woman's slender body seemed to grow and elongate. The clothes she wore ripped at the seams and fell from her body in tatters. Her body...

Human Age, The
(male growth CB) Wyndham Lewis, 1955. Book Two, Monstre Gai; Book 3, Malign Fiesta.
Extremely rare growth depiction, probably of adult males. After his blindness, the prose of Lewis became less pigmented, less kinesthetic. It acquired narrative ease:
"Pullman had noticed long before this that both giants had kicked off their shoes, which lay, very minute footwear, not far from where their feet were moving. Their clothes had everywhere burst asunder. But it was at this moment that with enormous splutters and gasps, they suddenly levitated... two vast nudities rose into the air and disappeared over the roofs. But they made their exits buttocks uppermost."

Eagle, the
(male adult growth UC, male size changes OC) St. John's College (University of Cambridge)
"The Strange Case of Hubert McGiggis"
I broke a piece of the edge of the huge fungus, and very cautiously began to nibble at it. In an amazingly short time I felt my clothes getting very tight, and I only ran round to the other side and took another nibble of the mushroom just in time to prevent something giving way. I was now my normal size again.
I had always before looked upon "Alice in Wonderland" as a piece of fiction; now I had no doubt of the truth of at least one incident in the book.
I ... took a large bite of the opposite side of the mushroom to that which I had first tried.
I suddenly found myself in a very warm and large kind of bag, and felt not a little perturbed.
I found that it was composed of several layers of flannel and cloth.
...the mushroom had made me shrink, but not my clothes, and I was now imprisoned inside my own vest! I ought to have remembered that my clothes did not grow with me when I tried my first nibble of mushroom.
I struggled about among the grass till at last I found what seemed to me about four square yards of mushroom. I eagerly munched it, and was overjoyed to find myself once more a reasonable size. I put on my clothes with all speed, stuffed each pocket with mushroom ... and returned to my rooms.

Sense of Wonder
(male age character) Bill Schelly.
The one original element to Super Heroes Anonymous was the debut of a brand new super hero.
...I had gradually formulated a character with the ghoulish name the Immortal Corpse. It was the story of a mortician named Jon Walker who was gunned down--and came back from the dead because of a strange chemical substance which had seeped into his wounds. He discovers that he is able to change his age at will, which effectively renders him immortal. I typed up his origin story ("Murder at Midnight!") and created a drawing of the character for our cover.

Alice in Wonderland syndrome
(self/others shrunk illusion) AKA: AIWS, micropsia, Lilliput sight.
Neurological condition which affects sight, hearing, touch, and sometimes one's own body image. Subjects perceive humans, parts of humans, animals, and inanimate objects as substantially smaller than in reality. They can appear far away and extremely close at the same time. A dog may appear the size of a mouse, or a normal car may look shrunk to scale. Small children form a large proportion of those afflicted. Can be caused by mononucleosis, complex partial epilepsy, or psychoactive drugs such as dextromethorphan.

Gerokinesis
(age shifts) Fan fiction power for evolved humans not derived from canon: the ability to manipulate age. With this power, you can shapeshift yourself or others into older or younger versions. Unlike chronokinesis, the ability to manipulate time, it only targets the time fields around biotic matter. While the chosen subject is shifted, he gains the characteristics of that age group, so a person could realistically gain the stamina of a child, have the ambition, strength and logic of a middle-aged person, or the wisdom and patience of older age. One could even age the desired subject to be too young or too old to defend themselves. Persons can only shift to differently-aged versions of themselves. If an opponent is good at identifying faces or discernment, this power is nearly useless.

Endymion, the Man in the Moon
(slight adult age cycles, age stasis) 1588 Elizabethan comedy by John Lyly. Endymion has fallen in love with the Moon goddess Cynthia. Lyly's witch claims power over age: "I can restore youth to the aged". Endymion celebrates Cynthia for her ability to move between the virtues of youth and age: "Tell me, Eumenides, what is he that, having a mistress of ripe years and infinite virtues, great honours and unspeakable beauty, but would wish that she might grow tender again, getting youth by years and never-decaying beauty by time?" Cynthia's power to wax and wane in age is attributable to the fact that she embodies the divine power of the Moon.

Lydia Thrippe!: A critic's diary followed by the Lydiad
(age stasis) Daniel Sloate, 1999. "Lolly, or Ars Celare Artem".
"Lolly was a mechanical doll,... Her mother, to distinguish doll from girl, .... had their dresses made so their asses always showed.
Over the years mother grew nervous however and took to chewing sideways on her hair bun since her daughter stubbornly refused to grow any older than her doll, whose age for all eternity was ten.
Lolly-girl made people nervous for sundry reasons: her white hair betrayed her real age (in her late fifties); her cheeks were as pink as a ten year old's; her dresses were terribly out of fashion and too snug; her ass showed quaintly whenever she left the room.
...since Lolly-girl was too feeble to protest (she was in her early nineties by then), they buried Lolly-doll in the..."

Regula
(temporal anomaly flashed forward) William S. Kerr. Phase-shifting boy can walk through solid objects but loses track of the time.
"...they all gathered around the girl I ran into.
Her dress was dirty and torn at the side near her knee and she was fiddling with that.
She couldn't tell them what happened, and there was nothing seriously wrong with her, so they turned toward the river again.
Even Regula - she forgot about her dress pretty quick when the crowd started murmuring.
I sneaked over behind Regula. It wasn't until I was close that I noticed something. Her clothes were different, of course, but the same kind. What I noticed different is that she was older than she'd been. About our age. You could tell from her face. It was ... bonier. No, not bonier, but it had more shape.
"And she was filled out a little here." He made vague cupping gestures around his chest. "But she wasn't much taller than she'd been. She was still smaller than me."
Konrad and he had many speculative and querulous discussions about the difference in growth between the boys and girls in their class. The girls towered over the boys. They hunched their shoulders in self-consciousness, as humiliated by their heights as the boys were by their deficits, but this just made them loom.
Mark was infatuated with a girl named Vicki White... One could almost follow every dimension of her growth day by day.
"It has been two years."
"It's only been a couple weeks for me."
She was taller and older and prettier, but it was Regula."

Vows
(AP CB allusion) Louise Warren, Scarlet Theatre, 1991. Helen Anderson, Gráinne Byrne and Sophia Lovell Smith.
3 little girls vowed to wed on the same day. Near the beginning of the performance, Poppy and Pandora opened the drawer containing red childhood cardigans. The clothes magically grew to adult-size on the eve of the wedding.
As a sign of her decision not be married, but to dedicate her life to singleness and the care of growing things, Pasha emptied the dark fertile earth down the staircase. Pandora and Poppy then entered as their childhood selves.
"Where are you Pasha, Poppy asked, and from the top of the stairs Pasha, now also a child, replied "I'm in the tree! I'm so big that I'm splitting out of my nightdress, my head is wearing the moon for a hat..."
Her farsightedness as a child about her deepest needs was demonstrated by her image of herself bursting through her nightdress - the childhood 'skin' that had become too small and tight to contain her.
The adult Pasha was, at one and the same time, gardener, nun and sorceress. Her garment, when it emerged from the nest of leaves, was the habit-like dress. Pasha remade the magic childhood garden so that it became a meaningful place to live her adult life. Poppy's leaf drawer dress became her wedding gown ...whereas Pasha had split out of her childhood nightdress into her new self, Poppy's wings of desire that burst through her dress reaffirmed her commitment to the vow she had made as a child. Pandora quickly pounced on the fairy-tale dress, only to discover that it was too small for her. She had outgrown the fairy tale... Poppy marries the unseen fairy prince.

Luke and Angela
(UC scene) Christine Neostlinger.
"Now the grand lilac dress is two years old, and I hadn't worn it since last autumn. "Darling, you've grown bigger," sighed my mother. "Pull your tummy in, or I'll never get..."
"I had certainly grown taller. The waist of my dress was somewhere near my breasts now, and since a normally shaped person goes outward from her waist upward, the dress simply would not do up. And the shoulders were..."

Delighted
(old age disguised, RN rejuvenation to younger adult) Bertrice Small. Alexander's mother disguised herself as crone.
"...Alexander watched, her features seemed to twist and change. At the same time, her body altered its form. She grew taller, tall and straight. Suddenly he was looking at an older woman with the same white hair as Mabelle but with a fine-boned, elegant face, and two piercing green eyes.
Alexander gasped.
"Everyone knew I was a sorceress..." She glared at him defiantly. "Has it occurred to you that I have had to endure the same torment that you have? That I have been trapped in the hideous form of an old crone for even longer - since a few days after your birth? I have also had to endure shudders of disgust behind my back, to face the world as a kind of monster. I wonder if I gave up my beauty and suffered for naught!"
...he knew that she was not more dear to him now because she was beautiful."

Hush, Hush, Sweet Girl
(UC scene) S.L. Fletcher.
"Roseanne set off to her cubbyhole to hang up her sweater and backpack. I watched her doing so and was horrified when I more closely observed her outfit, which was visibly too small.

legends
Pichal Peri
(ageshifting, body elongation) India/Pakistan female vampire-like entity.
- Mysterious woman of darkness who exhibits enchanting appearance and whose feet point backward. A layman walking through an obsessed area in the evening encountered an alien woman in the bush. The man was lucky to escape unhurt as a driver of a passing vehicle rescued him. The guy reported that the alien woman was able to increase or decrease her biological age at will.
- Some supernatural entities have the ability to stretch their hands and feet by extra measurements lengthwise. In 1883, Indian wrestler Aziz Baksh, who was stationed in the State of Datia, encountered such a cryptic entity. The demonic being scaled the walls of a neighborhood by stretching its legs and hands lengthwise. Aziz told his family members about this incident before his death.
