Such as is the case in Scott Fitzgerald’s 1921 short story, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” In the short story, the protagonist, Benjamin Button, begins life with one foot on the grave and then grows “younger” over the years going through middle life, adolescence, childhood, and finally infancy.
