Short story "Fountane Of" on Curious Fictions Author-described "short, sharp, and not very sweet. Plus, time-traveling janitor!"
It does read like Frederic Brown. Reading through the second time I realized who "Jackie K." had to be.

Haha, nice! I love that the meaning of the title snaps into focus once you’ve finished the story. I’ll be looking for more of Durgin’s stories.

Good twist, but Fredric Brown was better at pacing. Who was Jackie K, then?

I can‘t get over the way he didn‘t ask how young it was going to make him.
