Before and After

Time changes everything. Sometimes, a few days is enough to make a noticable difference; other times it takes years or even centuries. But eventually, everything starts to show its age.

In this contest, you're asked to speed the process up. Take any object you like, living or inanimate. Leave half (or thereabouts) of the picture untouched. Take the other half, and show how the subject will look at some point in the future.

You can choose the obvious targets: Show a girl's face, with the right half aged to an elderly woman. Or perhaps a new mansion, with one half dilapitated and neglected. Or you can be creative: Put a caterpillar on one half of your entry, changing into a butterfly in the other. It's up to you.

Have fun, be creative, follow the guidelines please, and be careful to avoid using cliches. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count!
