Marcus had a list of pros and cons about being a teenager again. The cons were not being taken seriously, ever. He couldn't get a fucking drink anywhere. His driver's license didn't match his face, and erections were much more difficult to control. The pros were having no pain unless he actually did something that brought pain, like step on a tack. People actually saw him instead of ignored him. He was fairly good looking. He could eat whatever the hell he wanted and not gain anything. He could smoke without much concern for his health, and erections came much more easily. Of course, none of it really mattered when there was no one to do anything with, but that was alright.
In Marcus' dreams, he'd been living with priests at this age, learning the ways of true exorcism. At this age, he was feared by demons in his dreams. Here, he was just a teenager, one who didn't fit in with modern teenage society. He'd tried, but he didn't really understand the music and culture of teenagehood in 2018. So he was a loner on the boardwalk, and that seemed appropriate seeing as how he was mostly a loner as a man in his fifties, too.
There wasn't much to complain about really. Having no pain in his body and being able to do pretty much what he wanted without much consequence was a fantastic feeling. The trouble with youth was that it was always wasted on the struggle to be an adult, only to want it all back once adulthood was reached. Marcus could admit that he'd like to stay in this body if he could, if Orange County would allow it.
