Continuous gun fire can be heard across the streets. The air is filled with the smell of sulfur. ground is dyed red. nearly eighty dead body scattered across the street. many civilians getting caught in crossfire and dying. some taken shelter below trucks, some below food carts, some in houses. nearly 50 members with face masks came forward and started to point their gun at the big container on the heavy load truck. a group of 20 people defending the container. among them, a bald guy with tattoos covered his entire face and head. he is continuously firing gun, and occasionally throwing grenades.
even though he is severely outnumbered, he is managing by using grenades and advance ammunition.
" Damn how did they know about this route, we purposely avoid all highways and traveling in this crowded streets," that bald dude said
" Hey! take this grenades and disrupt the enemys front. I will bring more, " he said and started to climb the truck. he got into driving seat. suddenly, firing stopped. he confused and looked outside. he saw that enemy leader was looking at his pager. his face is filled with fear.
" what da fuck, what happin" he mumbled
suddenly he heard ticking sound and looked beneath the driving seat .
' Ohhhh..... shit, it's a bomb, that fucker he used me as bait and transporting the parcel in different containers ' he tried to jump but it is too late. the bomb blasted, and engulfing him and rest of the mobs. his entire skin started to burn, and the force due to blasting ruptured his entire body. before he even knows he died.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw black sky with stars and moon. I inspect my surroundings. I was in somewhere wilderness. there is small river stream running beside me. atmosphere is very cold and wet , and the entire ground is covered by grass and moss. insects are making sounds in chorus. I stood up and immediately felt something was wrong with my body. my hands are small, legs are short
. and most important thing is I have hair, I'm not bald anymore. I walk towards the river stream and saw my reflection. it was a boy with black raven hair and chubby cheeks. he's wearing a cream color shirt with a brown jacket over it. his left eye is swollen. and multiple bruises on his face and hands.
"What the fuck , who the fuck is this, wait a minute more importantly didn't I just died in bomblast, then why the hell I'm here "
before I can think further, a severe headache assaulted me. the memories which is not mine started to appear in my mind. it like I'm watching someone life as movie. damn it seems I transmigrated, I always dreamed about being transmigrated and escaping my shitty life. but I never thought it became true. even though I didn't transmigrated into MCU or DC universe and gain super powers. I escaped from my life its enough for me. in my past life I lived under someone, done dirty things for them, gone jail for them. and finally died for them. but in this life I'm not gonna live like that, never, l had enough. I gonna crave my path with my own hands. I washed my face with water, sat down on grass. and tried to remember who I was, where am I, how did I get here ?. slowly memories came to my mind.
damn, I transmigrated into peaky blinders world. apparently I was little brother of tommy and Arthur and big brother to John and ada. my name is Ethan. our father left us nearly six months ago. my mother is working in sweing factory and looking after us. aunt Polly doing pickpocketing to earn money. John just started to walk and have difficulty in speaking, but he can maintain a conversation. Ada is newborn baby she is only four months. well when it comes to why I'm here, some children make fun of our mom, saying she is going to factory only for cover, and she's actually a prostitute. the owner of this body become furious and started a fight, the kids beat shit out of him and leave him when he lost conscious. I have to remember their faces, because I always pay my debts.
I cleaned my dress and started to go home based on my memories. I reached my house, one of the community houses built by queen for homeless. it's small house with one room, kitchen and bathroom. when I reached there I saw arthur and tommy searching for me with homemade touches.
" Tone it down guys, you making neighbors life miserable " I said
"bloody hell, eth have you been, we searching for you for hours " arthur said
" I gotten into little brawl, nothing more " I said
" what happened to you face " tommy asked
" Well they hit me on my face what can I do " I said
" mom not gonna like it , she will become angry " tommy said
" Well what we gonna do, can't you guys manage " I said
" hah, Don't worry eth, tommy is smart he will manage " arthur said . I look towards tommy
"Well first let's go inside before mom comes out " tommy said
we entered house and saw a woman with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. she is very thin and wear typical britain women dress. she looked towards me and started to come towards me. I thought she gonna scold me. but instead she taken me into hug and started to rub my hair.
" mom I'm fine you don't have to worry " I said
she touched my face and saw bruises
" where have you been eth. don't lie to me I know if you lie" she asked I look towards tommy
" he saw a drunken man beating a child, and decided to help the child, " tommy said
haaaa.... busted definitely busted, how can he say such an obvious lie. she looked towards me and again taken me into hug.
"O my eth. why you did you putting yourself into danger, you should have come home directly " she said expression
wha.. what did I just hear, did she believe that ridiculous story. O my God please save the last brain cells of these poor souls. well that is mom, she is kind and innocent. if she is clever she definitely will not marry father.
" I..I. will not do it again " I said
" Come on you must be starving I will give you bread and soup " she said
I sat near wall. she given bread and tomato soup. the savory tasted of soup and the chewy texture of bread, haaa.... perfect. I changed my clothes after dinner. John, arthur, tommy and me slept on floor. mom and ada slept on bed.
