A strange dream

"Fat woman"

"Ugly"

"Go dead"

"Disgust"

"commit yourself"

"Get away"

Those and more derogatory words were what she heard daily.

If they were only from strangers I wouldn't pay so much attention to them, but my parents...

"I never asked to have you"

"I wish you had never been born"

"My life would be perfect without you"

With so much hate towards me, it is not a surprise that at 18 they kicked me out of the house.

Without a roof to return to, I tried to look for a job, but it was always the same excuse.

"You will take away the hunger of the customers"

"You will make other employees feel uncomfortable"

And more shit like that...has she...

Today, thanks to all those misfortunes, I find myself under a bridge.

The rain began to fall, forming a small puddle in front of me.

"If only she was beautiful…"

With one foot I began to step on my reflection, over and over again although I knew that it would not change anything.

"I hate my life…"

I didn't cry when my classmates insulted and bullied me, I didn't cry before my parents' harsh words, I didn't cry when they kicked me out of the places I wanted to work...

But today I finally cried.

"If I had a next life... I want to be the most beautiful in the world"

I know it's a fanciful wish, but I was so hurt that I really couldn't think of anything but wishing for another life.

'Poder soul, cursed with eternal ugliness'

While hating myself I heard a voice.

Heh, I finally went crazy.

'I can grant you a beauty capable of putting the heavens before your feet without anything in return, because I feel sorry for you, do you accept?'

Even knowing that it is a hallucination, I clung to this last sliver of hope.

I agree.

'Well, I, the goddess of beauty, will give you a beauty capable of tearing down the heavens.'

For some reason when the hallucination ended I got really sleepy so I lay down on the floor and closed my eyes.

'I hope you enjoy your new life'

An unknown time later I woke up.

I was under the same bridge.

I knew it was just a hallucination.

brrr

My stomach started to growl, I haven't eaten in a long time.

I'll have to use my last coins to buy some bread.

With difficulty I got up and began to walk to the top of the bridge, there was a small bread stand.

Step by step my body felt heavy, that combined with the extreme hunger did not let me think clearly.

After a few minutes I reached the top of the bridge where the post was located.

I hope the seller doesn't give me the bread at a higher price than the original, it has happened to me many times.

When I got to the front of the stall I saw the vendor with his cell phone.

"A loaf of bread, please"

"Hang on a minute…"

The seller did not leave his cell phone, so much so that he made me wait almost 5 minutes.

"Okay, what do you want…"

The moment the vendor saw me he widened his eyes in shock.

He has… the same thing again.

Whenever I go somewhere people are surprised at how ugly I am.

Better not to care about it.

"A loaf of bread, please"

I repeated my order.

"..."

"Mister?"

Did it make my appearance worse?

"Y-Yes"

Coming out of his stupor the vendor quickly put several loaves of bread in a bag and handed it to me.

"Um... I just ordered a loaf of bread."

"I-It's a gift from the house"

The seller was super nervous, like he was being threatened or something.

"I can not accept it…"

"No no, accept it, if I don't I'll feel bad"

"If you insist..."

Confused, I took the bag of bread and gave him the money.

"As I said, it's a gift, you don't need to pay for it"

"But…"

"Gift"

Okay… this is weird, but I'm not going to say no to free food.

Although it is likely that the bread is already stale and that is why he gives it to me as a gift.

"Thank you"

I thanked him and started walking.

As I was leaving I heard a cell phone camera, probably the seller will share my photos to laugh at me.

Ha… well, as long as I have food I don't care.

While I was walking I tried to go back under the bridge, but noticed that the current of the river had grown, so my safe place was under water.

Thinking about what to do, I remembered that there is a park a few minutes walk away.

It's true that the police already threw me out of there once... but hey, I won't stay long, I don't think they care.

Deciding I walked in the direction of the park.

On the way I met several people who stood still when they saw me, it seems that my appearance really got worse.

As I was walking I felt something behind me and I turned around.

How strange, dozens of men are after me.

Will it be a parade?

Without thinking about it anymore I kept walking and finally arrived at the park.

After searching for a while I found a bench and sat down.

Now yes, to eat.

I joyfully lifted the bread and bit into it.

Oh, it's not stale.

While I was eating I forgot everything around me, my hunger was so great that I couldn't think of anything else.

Suddenly I felt a shadow over me.

Will it rain again?

"Miss"

Hearing that they called me, I raised my head.

There I saw an extremely handsome man in expensive clothes.

Behind him were dozens of men looking in my direction.

Did I do something wrong?

"Y-Yes?"

Guard up, I got up and stepped back.

"Is she alone?"

Isn't it… he wants to kidnap me!?

"Ehm… n-no, I'm waiting for my boyfriend"

Moron!! Who would believe you have a boyfriend?! With your face not even an animal would approach you.

"Noooo!"

"Because!?"

For some reason the men behind the rich boy began to scream and cry.

"I-Is that so…"

The rich boy began to tremble and fell onto his knee, then began to cry.

What the hell happened!?

My brain was blank at such an absurd scene.

Are they shooting a movie?

In fear I stepped back and quickly walked away.

After a while I got to the opposite end of the park and sat down.

With relief I continued eating my bread.

Ha~ it's so good...

After a while, and after eating 4 slices of bread, I sighed in relief and raised my head.

"Not…"

Again there were dozens of men watching me.

All with agitated breathing and with their eyes fixed on me.

Spooky!

T-It has to be some TV show, yes! As long as I don't listen to them they will eventually leave.

With that mindset I lowered my head and took another slice of bread and put it in my mouth.

I never tire of saying this, it's so delicious~

While I was eating I felt a shadow over me again.

Ha…again.

"Miss"

"Tell me"

Without lifting my head from my bread I replied.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"Cough cough, what!? COF cof"

She almost choked me on my bread.

After coughing, I quickly raised my head and looked with doubt and anger at the man who asked me that.

"Do you think it's funny?"

In anger I responded.

"I do not understand what you are saying…"

HAAAA hated this.

"Do you think it's fun to make fun of me? Yes, I know I'm ugly, but you don't need to make these jokes."

When I said that, both the man who asked me and the others held their breath and looked at me with doubt.

"M-Miss, if you are ugly there is no woman on this earth that can be called beautiful"

"She already leaves the teasing…!"

At that moment the man took out his cell phone and took a picture of me.

"Look"

"I already told you no... my god"

Seeing the photo my breath stopped.

It has to be a joke...
