2024-10-29 19:42:56'I need a silent place to brood on my task. But it seemed this baby won't allow me to enjoy the peace I so much desire,' I whimpered to myself as Alice placed me on the cot, and then stood up on my two feet and smiled at her.
"You are a year older and supposed to be walking by now," Alice mumbled, picked me up and placed me on the tiles, and then took three steps backwards and let out, "take some steps and meet me."
Though I have been crawling for weeks now, my feet were still weak. And walking seemed the most difficult of all tasks. But knowing my life or death depends on my ability to move from one place to another, I have no choice but to try.
"That is my baby boy," Alice mumbled as I took a step, two steps, and then three. And when I staggered and was about to fall, she leapt closer to me and jerked me up, and then let out, "you are a chicken, Ugly-face. Almost all your age mates have started walking."
"You are right, Alice. I need the use of my feet tonight," I babble back, and then giggled when she peered at me.
"You know, I sometimes think you can hear me."
"Of course, I can. It's quite unfortunate that you can't hear me."
"Hey, Alice... What is going on here?"
"Hello, Betty. I am training Ugly-face how to walk."
"We don't have the time for that this morning. The church program will be taking place in an hour, and we need to dress all the babies up before we go... Come and assist me over here."
"Where is Alicia?"
"She is with the rest of the nuns. They were cleaning the church auditorium," Betty let out, glared at me, shake her head sideways and walked off.
Alice tried to pick me up, but I pushed her hand away, stood up and tried to walk by myself.
"I will leave you to practice by yourself, but don't dirty your clothing," Alice mumbled, smiled at me and then walked towards Betty.
One of the things I hate about a baby is my weak body parts. But come rain or sunshine, I had decided to walk before nightfall.
As expected, it wasn't easy. I fell several times, stood up and resumed my walk. At last, I was able to take numerous steps without falling. And I was basking under the euphoria of my achievement when the church bell sounded. The church auditorium was built close to the orphanage hall. A tall, grey-painted building with several wooden chairs and musical instruments. I have been there twice. A nice place to take a nap. Except for the loud noise from the choirs and their blaring speakers."We need to go."
"We can't leave them alone."
" Alicia will come and stay with the babies," Betty answered back.
"A moment please," Alice said. And I can hear her footsteps as she walked towards me, and then peered all over my shirt and pants.
As for me, my face was plastered with a smile, and my toothless mouth giggled with excitement at my successful walking.
"You are an obedient child. Your clothes were clean as I instructed you."
"Yes, Alice. I am a kind soul. Just unfortunate to be cursed with an ugly face."
Though I was aware people can't hear my babbling, expressing my feelings in words always give me a special kind of contentment.
"Will you like to go to church with me?"
"Yes, Alice. Take me along," I babble back, giggled louder, and then stretched my two arms towards her.
"That's my baby," Alice announced, carried me up and placed me on her chest.
"Are you going with Ugly-face?"
"Yes, Betty."
"What did you see in this ugly baby? I will rather carry Danny or other babies than him."
"He is human and also needs love. We can't hate him because of his facial look."
"I already did. Someone as ugly as him will always end a narcissist."
"That's cruel, Betty. Who are you to predict his future? You need to go for confession after today's church program."
"Okay... My bad. But I was saying the truth. Ugly-face is not human, but a monster, Betty said, sighed and resumed her speech, "look at his oval-shaped head, golden eyeballs, large noses with extra large lips and small chin. He has the weirdest head I have ever seen in my twenty-two years of innocent existence."
"May God forgive you, Betty. You are filled with profanity."
"Amen. And may he forgive you as well... Tell me you don't notice he has the largest penis for a baby... I mean, that thing in-between his leg is meant for a grown-up man."
"Enough, Betty. Enough of your blasphemy on Sunday morning."
"It's okay. No need to yell."
I close my eyes and feigned to be deep in sleep. Yet, all Betty's words were like punches to my face.
'If that is how I look like, then the system that send me down here had done more harm than good. Yet still, I will rather live with my ugliness than rot in hell with my beauty.
Unlike before, my eyes darted around the church auditorium, and sleep was the last thing on my mind. And when I caught sight of Father Francis, my heartbeat become more erratic.
'I will suck Mother Maggie's nipple before you arrive in her room," I mumbled to myself, smiling broadly and letting out, 'I already have my plan mapped out. I will be achieving my mission tonight.'
"Shh! Stop blabbing, Ugly-face."
"I warned you not to bring him along."
"Get lost, Betty!" I let out, and then looked as mean as I can.
"Holy Spirit! This baby is a demon and needs deliverance!"
"Stop that, Betty. He is just a baby."
I smiled at Alice and fondle her breasts, and then babble out, "oh yeah... I am just a baby."
How I wish the system had given me Alice as my target. But no, the Almighty system had to decree that I suck Mother Maggie's breast!
I wonder what my next task will be. Kiss the Queen, or slap the president? But whatever it is, I had no choice but to do all I can to get it done. I will fight to remain alive and evade the torment of hell... Who won't?

I was in a deep sleep before the service came to an end, and it was when I was laid in my cot at the orphanage hall that I opened my two golden eyes and peered around. After several yawning to attract the attention of my chaperones, I burst into uncontrollable howling and then moaned loudly when Alice hurried closer to my cot and peered at my face."Why are you crying, Ugly-face?" Alice asked as she picked up my feeding bottle, prepared my baby meal and began to feed me."Thank you, Miss Alice," I mumbled, gulped down the cereal and smile to ease her furious face."I will be taking you for a medical check-up today, and I hope your health is not threatened and you won't be admitted to the hospital," Alice mumbled as she peered into my golden eyes."Can't it wait till tomorrow? I need to suck Madam Maggie's nipple tonight," I babble back.Since Alice didn't understand my babbling, she brought me closer to her breast and began to sing me a lullaby. And then danced to rock me back to sle

I waited for a moment, and it was when I heard Mother Maggie's snore that I crawled out of the under of the bed frame and stood on my two legs.To me, Mother Maggie is not pleasant to the eyes. Not as beautiful as I was in my former life. Because she doesn't appeal to my eyes, the thought of sucking her breast doesn't arouse me. Not the way the memory of kissing Alice always does. 'Just suck her nipple and hide under the bed frame until tomorrow morning," I mumbled to myself, smiling at the sight of the naked woman on the mattress in my front, walked closer and then leapt onto the tall bed."Ouch!"I quickly used my two palms to cover my mouth as I groaned in pain. Out of excitement, I had leapt at the mattress and then bruised my knee on the wooden frame.'Grr... Grr!'Mother Maggie's snore become louder as the binding pain from my knee subsidized, and I promptly laid closer to her breast, placed my palm on the nearest one and began to search for her nipple."Hmm!" 'Don't wake now,

In truth, crying is part of my strength. The whole hall became alive when I burst into a scream, and I can hear some of the babies as they stirred awake and joined my hysterical noise. "Shh, Ugly-face. Did you want to wake all the babies with your cry?" Betty asked as she hurried closer to me, pushed Jack off her way and let out," it's okay. Nobody is attacking you, so keep your mouth shut." Jack glare at me and let out, "you can't escape your fate, Ugly-face. I will kill you whenever I have the chance." "Go to hell, Jack," I hissed out, stretched my two arms towards Betty, and then grinned with contentment when she picked me up and carried me towards my cot. "Go now, Jack. I don't want our colleagues to meet you here." Jack promptly sneaked out of the hall, and I was left alone. Moments later, a holographic image appeared, and the automated voice boomed out. "Congratulations once more. You have achieved the second mission, and now have a year of survival." "I hope you guys wer

I had been to Mother Maggie's office before, but this time around, her office was more silent than usual as I stepped inside. On the director seat sat Mother Maggie, and two gentlemen sat on the two cushions in her front. And three cups of hot tea were placed in front of each of them. All eyes darted at me as I walked inside, and the two gentlemen grinned among themselves. "Welcome, Ugly-face. Meet Mr Cameron and his spouse. They want to adopt you as their son," Mother Maggie announced, picked up her cup of tea, sipped it and then let out, "I hope you will be a good child and won't give them any reason to regret this decision." Mr Cameron was a tall and huge man with a chest as wide as a barrel. He is dressed in an impeccable white suit and pants, and he turned towards me with a fixed smile and let out, "hello, young man. How are you?" I ignored him, hissed and blink my eyes rapidly. "I thought you said he can talk?" Cameron asked with a confused look. "Yes, I can," I answered

After my failed adoption plan, I was ignored by the nuns and Mother Maggie, and I was left alone to whimper in nervousness. My fear was my incoming task, and the fear of this unknown seemed to be robbing me of my joy. At last, Alice notices my sad mood, and she sat close to my cot and peeked into my face."You have been quiet for the while. Are you sick?"I shake my head sideways to signify no, glanced at Alice's homely face and close my eyes feigning to be dozing. "I know you are not sleeping, Ugly-face. You can talk to me, you know?"I know I can talk to Alice. She had been nothing but friendly to me since I arrived at this orphanage home. Yet still, my predicament is the one that I had to solve in silence. I mean, how will I explain to her that I was reincarnated, and needed to achieve some task to stay alive and escape hell?"I am talking to you, Ugly-face.""I'm okay.""You are not.""I want to be left alone," I muttered when Alice keeps bothering me, and I frown my face as she

For the second time in my short moment in life, my loud cry saves me from Jack's hand. Or to be precise, the ability to hear from far save me from the cold hand of this second death.When I opened my mouth and cried out in a loud voice, all the birds left their nests, and the insects became silent. As for the nuns and children in the playground, their eyes darted towards me as I shrieked at the sight of Jack who is sneaking on me with a big stick in his hand."Shh! Ugly face. I am not here to harm you," Jack mumbled and quickly throw the stick in his hand away, and then take another step closer.'AHH!'When I cried louder, Jack looked around, saw someone scurrying closer to us, and he quickly turned and disappeared into the forest.Alice was the first to reach my side, and she carry me and peered all over my body, and then cleaned the tears rolling down my face.Alicia raced closer, peered all over my body in search of a wound or cut, and then ask after, "why did you make such horribl

The chapel was more silent than the last time I visited here, and Alice and Alicia hold my two hands and dragged me towards some chairs that were arranged close to the partition made for the presiding father. "Let's seat here and wait for Betty to finish her confession," Alice announced, carried me up and placed my buttocks on the wooden benches, and the two ladies sat at my two sides. "Her confession is taking longer time than necessary," Alicia mumbled. "Her sins are many. That's quite expected," I growled out with impatience. "Don't be mean, Ugly-face. You are not God and not in the position to call someone a sinner or a Saint," Alice let out. "But I am right.""Shh! Betty is done with her confession. It's now your turn.""You guys won't go with me?"Alice shakes her head sideways and answered back, "no, Ugly-face. Confession is a personal issue. And it's between you, God and father... Please, excuse us.""I have never done confession before. What is expected of me?""Confess

Thanks to Nana's timely arrival, Brown would have snuffed the life out of me. I picked up my gadgets and ran out of his room in fright. "What is wrong with Jasmine? He looked like someone who saw a ghost," Nana asked as I hurried past her. "He is a strange baby. We were having a chat when he heard your voice and scurried out. I thought he was on his way to meet you." "No. He almost collided with me and he ran off before I asked him what is wrong." Without waiting for Brown's answer, I ran as fast as my tiny legs could carry me, arrived at my room and banged the door after. 'He knew that I am after information. What should I do now?' "Hey, System. Are you here with me?" The holographic image appeared instantly, and the automated voice sounded after. "Yes. I am here with you." "I already copied all his information into a USB Drive. I need the mail to them too." "Good. The entity in charge of exposing him will message you soon. You can forward all the information to him." I

CAUGHT AT LAST
My chance came a day later. Brown returned home drunk and slept through the day, so I sneaked into his room, replaced my laptop and my phone with his own, and scrambled into my room. 'All I need is some minutes to access this laptop. I am sure I will get all the necessary information if I can hack his mail.'"Hey, Jasmine. What are you up to?"Mary's voice jolted me out of reverie, and I promptly frown my face and answered back. "None of your business. I have something important to check online, so I suggest that you go away.""You are a weird baby, Jasmine. A baby of your age ought to be obsessed with cheaper toys, and not expensive gadgets.""Thank you, now go away."I quickly locked my door and get to work. Each time is precious and should not be wasted. Brown can wake up any moment from now. Since I don't know Brown's password, I pressed the forgotten password button, received the code on his phone, and then log into his mail. In a few minutes, everything was copied into a USB

BEAUTY IS BEYOND A LOOK
The drive from the government reserve area to the centre of the City takes almost an hour, and I peeked through the car window as she raced through the crowdy community. Despite my pilgrimage around the world, I was surprised that I had never visited any of the cities around here. And the fact that I was reincarnated on the other side of the earth made me despise the entity that sent me here.'The system promised that I can see anyone I wish. Should I ask to see my mother?'I wonder if she is still alive. Wonder if she still hated me, and wish she had grown old with no one to cater for her. Indirectly, my mother was responsible for my death. She was the one who always tell me that I am not good enough, not beautiful enough. And it was her negative words that made me lose the belief I had in myself. Even when the money is flowing in, and I have thousands of suitors seeking my hands for marriage, I still believe I can be more appealing, and richer. I wasn't satisfied because I want

Thinking about Alice and her mysterious disappearance robbed me of a well-deserved night of rest, and it was when the day is about to break that I finally drifted to the dream world. As usual, my dreams were filled with demons and hell, and I woke up with a scream and a horrific look. "Good morning, Jasmine. You must have been dreaming."I opened my eyes, smiled to welcome my foster mother, and then rolled to the edge of the bed and let out, "Yes, Nana. I was having a bad nightmare. Is it daybreak already?"Nana giggled, pointed at the reflective sliding glass and let out, "Stand up lazy bone. The sun is about to come out.""Ouch. I feel weak and exhausted," I muttered, stretched my arms and yawned out loud. "Where is Brown?""He is getting dressed up for work, and he will be going without me.""Why is he in a hurry?

MAKE HIM DANCE TO MY TUNES
The following day was the worst since I was born, torn between my loyalty to my new family, and my dependency on the system, I was unable to decide my next step of action. 'How will I get the documents needed to convict Brown for exploiting and using illegal immigrants?' I asked myself aloud and then moaned softly when I realized that no answer is forthcoming. I wish I can eat my cake and still have it. I want to achieve the special mission, and then save my family from the impending shame and punishment.Realising I have to forgo one for the other, I sighed, shrugged and shakes my head at my resolution. I have no choice but to stand for truth and fairness. If Brown had been using illegal immigrants, then he must be punished for his crime. My emotions can stay aside. I was lost in thought through the daytime, and my wandering mind denied me the pleasure of sleep afterwards. As soon as the sun peeked in the sky, I leapt out of my bed, stepped out of my room and arrived at Brown and

A SPECIAL TASK
After failing to find her among the new intake of the high schools in Barbados, I decided to track her through her phone number. It was an easy trick. One that I had done several times in my previous life. All I need to do is to send a spam message to her line, and the moment she opened it, her location will be visible to me. Unlucky for me, I don't have her phone number, and worse of all, I don't have a phone. Realizing that I will have to wait until Nana comes back, I stood up and went to my room, and I was enjoying the breeze from the Air Conditioner as I lay on my king-size bed.Perhaps the system senses my restlessness or just a sheer coincidence, I was surprised when the circle of light appeared beside me, and the automated voice boomed out."Host found, merging activated... I checked for hours before finding you. Barbados is such a large city.""Sorry, pal. I was about to summon you when you appeared. I hope finding me is not much trouble for you.""Yes it is, but never mind.

'Boom.' 'Where am I?' The room was painted white, the roof made with a white POP, and the floor perfected with impeccable white tiles. And when I caught sight of the white bed cover, white duvet, and my white nightgown, I burst into tears. 'Where am I?' Despite achieving my task, the system had betrayed me, and now I am dead and back in heaven. 'Of course, that is the only reasonable explanation -. But wait, how did I die?' I hopped down from the bed, walked towards a white-framed standing mirror, and then gawked at the image standing in my front. 'Oh my gosh! I am not dead." From my experience during my time in the gathering of the dead and purgatory, I discovered that the soul of a human doesn't possess a human shape, but looks like a ball of light. Luckily for me, the image before I possessed an oblong shape head, big golden eyeballs and a weird-shaped mouth. 'If I am not dead, then where am I?' I frown, put my right folded palm on my chin and look lost in thought. 'I w

How lucky you are, Jasmine.""Let him breathe. All of you are now acting like his friend because of his good fortune.""Enough, Betty.

"Put me down and let me work with my legs. Why are you treating me like fragile materials?"Betty ignored my pleading, and with her free hand, she jerked Mother Maggie's office door open and stepped inside. "Here he is, Mother. Don't he look cute?""He sure did. You can seat down, Betty," Mothed Maggie mumbled. She stretched her hand towards a young, good-lookin

FACE-OFF WITH THE THREE MUSKETEERS
Agatha didn't bring me more chicken as she promised. Rather, she keeps avoiding me. Since I don't care, I ignored her and the rest of the nuns, spend my days on the grassland, and never bothered to make a friend with any of the orphans. After what seemed like weeks of living a lonely life, I eat my grub which keeps reducing as I grow older, took some glass of juice, stepped out of the orphanage hall, and then walked toward my sanctuary. "Hey, come here, Ugly face," one of the bullies of the orphanage shouted at me and then waves his hand as a sign for me to walk close to them. Since I am not in the mood for chit-chat. I ignored them, hissed and change the direction of my movement. A moment later, the three of them raced closer and stood in my front. "Johnny. I don't have the time for your pranks this morning, please excuse me.""Stay there, Ugly-face. We have some questions to ask you," Benny announced. "What questions?""Where did you see the chickens, sweet and biscuit that we
