I Got Reincarnated as a Baby

The world around me was always dark.

I grew up in a society where no one really cared about you.

I was raised in a broken family.

My dad became a drunk after he lost his job at a big company, my mum ran away after my dad lost his job.

I had to start fending for myself at 10 years old. I would find any job that could get me paid and do it.

I always kept some money to myself so that my dad won't take everything.

"It feels warm, like I'm enclosed in something. " I thought.

I had died though I don't remember how I died but I know I'm dead.

What would my father be doing now I'm dead. Who would take care of him now.

I curl up into a ball in my safe place.

It's so warm and cozy in here that I never want to leave.

"When would the baby come out,mama? "

I hear a voice say.

I jump because I'm startled.

I hear a beautiful laughter. "Look I think it recognized your voice" "Really! " " You're going to be a good big brother "

I dull out the voices around me.

I thought I was dead so how can I still hear people talking?

I decided to sleep. Maybe it was just a dream.

"You stupid bitch!"

THAWK!

"After all I've done for you, you still decide to hide money from me! "

THAWK!

"I'll show you who's in charge here!"

THAWK!

THAWK!

THAWK!

"Dad I'm sorry! I'll never do it again. Please. Please." A sob escapes my lips.

He stops

"Sorry? Sorry? You're SORRY? After that whore of a mother ran away, I raised you. I allowed you to stay in my house and YOU DECIDED TO HIDE MONEY FROM ME!? "

A sigh escapes his lips.

"Get out of my sight"

I quickly scramble away from him and lock myself in my room.

********

I jolt awake.

Why was that memory coming to mind now.

Why did it have to be that?

I curl tightly into a ball.

I realize that im facing downwards.

A gentle wave comes and pushes me .

I laugh cause I'm getting tickled by it.

More gentle waves come and I'm shaking with laughter because they keep on tickling me.

I see an opening and I'm slowing moving towards the opening.
