Well, here's one I shared with ya yesterday π
The Asshole Sea Turtle One day, in the Hawaiian Town of Kailua, a young woman is having a nice, relaxing walk on the beach.
She notices a sea turtle flipped on his back. Struggling with sad, terrified look on his face.
"Help me!" The sea turtle cried as the waved crashed closer and closed to his body. "Help me! Please!"
Immediately, the young woman, with long, wavy auburn hair, dressed in a blue tank top with purple shorts and flip flops, aids the distressed turtle.
"Thank you!" The sea turtle happily praises. "Thank you for saving me! Thank you!"
The turtle slowly waddles into the bay.
"Please, join me for delicious meal!" The Sea Turtle begs.
The young woman, feeling as though she'd be rude to reject such an offer, joins the turtle into the ocean, her slender hands on the his shell.
The Sea Turtle quickly swims downward, in a speed the woman found surprisingly fast, but far less compared to the gorgeous palace beneath her town.
A palace of pure gold and silver. Glimmering beautifully, compliment the blue ocean perfectly.
The woman was in awe, her jaw dropped, eyes widen.
"Please, enjoy your meal! Enjoy! Eat till your heart's content!" The Sea Turtle proclaimed as butlers pranced around the young woman with trays upon trays of rich, savory snacks!
It felt liked ages under water, The woman satisfied and content. What a reward!
"This has been great." The Woman smiles. "But I should get going."
"Of course!"The Sea Turtle smiles and quickly takes the woman up to the surface.
"Goodbye!" The Sea turtle waves from the water, the young woman on the sands, waving back.
"Goodbye!" The Woman waves back.
As she heads back into town, she notices something... strange.
The town looked completely different. No one in town looked familiar. There was something... off.
"Meiling?" An Elderly Voice crones from behind.
The young woman turns her head in concern.
"Meiling, is that really you?!" The senior citizen, clutching a walker looks in shock, shaky and disoriented.
"Lisa?!" The young woman looks in horror. Her... her best friend since kindergarten?!
"Where have you been?! It's been 70 years, Meiling!"
"70?!"
At that moment, the confirmation of time slowly clicks into the young woman's head.
Her skins wrinkles, her body shriveled, her breast sag, her trim figure loses firmness, her hair becomes white as the break of a wave.
She hunches, achy with pain.
Toothless, vision blurry, hearing gone with the wind!
Far in the sea, The Sea Turtle laughs mischievously.
"What a cute grandma she turned out to be!"

What happens in the actual story: A fisherman saves a turtle, gets to enjoy a meal at his undersea palace, returns to his village, finds out 200 years has passed, and ages to dust.
What I did: Made the fisherman a young woman, pretty much kept the rest of the story as is, but only progressed time by 70 years.
So, anyways, I just incorporated AP into a Japanese Folklore that already sorta had AP. Sorta. π
