Artist: Marie Kristiansen

Synopsis:
An elderly woman starts scratching the skin on her arm. She scratches harder and harder, and it starts to come off. Eventually she rips it all off, transforming into a younger self, the one she once wore. She walks out into the streets and is followed by other women who have done the same. They are all carrying MOO bags as they head into their last adventure.
