It is dark and suffocating.

I cant breath.

I feel numb.

I feel like I am drowning.

What exactly did I do to deserve this? I am not sure.

Wait... where exactly am I?

Who am I?

Am I dead? How did I die?

Several question swirled my mind but I had no answers.

Everything around me is pitch dark. I cant see anything.

I feel so empty

Wait.. what is that? Is that a...

I watched as bright yellow butterfly flew in front of me. I didnt know why but I had the urge to follow it. And I did.

At that moment it felt like I was leaving everything behind. Whatever it was in my past will no longer haunt me. Following the bright yellow trail of the insect felt so amazing.

Soon I saw a bright light. It looked like an opening. An opening to leave behind my past and start fresh. But is that the right thing to do? Well... its not like I ever cared about doing the right thing and its not like I have an alternative option either.

I am pretty sure I died. How? No idea. Who was I before I died? No clue.

My thoughts were interrupted as I saw the butterfly urging me to reach the bright light. I was eager to reach it. Hoping to fill the void in me which I know for sure I had been hoping for a long time.

Perhaps the universe finally decided to make me feel complete. For once I decided to think optimistic and reached for the bright light.

"I truly hope your soul finds what you are earning for."

Did the butterfly just talk to me?

Nah! I must be hearing things.

...........
......... 

What in the flying fuck?

My lungs hurt like it has been popped like a damn water ballon. I gasped for air and it hurts everytime my lungs expanded to fill oxygen. I tried opening my eyes but it was too bright. I clench them shut as I tried to make sense of what was happening.

The only sense that seemed to be working was my ears. I tried to calm myself down hoping to hear what was going on around me and I heard ..... a cry?

It was a baby crying.

Where on earth am I?

I am not a big fan of babies. They irritate me.

"Its a girl honey!" I heard a man's voice in a language I didnt understand. It sounded like...

Chinese? Or maybe Burmese? Korean?

I am not sure. I need to know where on earth I am.

"Ahhhh!" I heard a woman's cry. I tried to open my eyes and everything was blurry. I couldnt see a single fucking thing clearly. It was as if I am seeing through a kaleidoscope.

I tried to speak.

It was then I realized something, I was the one producing the irritating cry. Once I realized it, I shut my mouth trying to process what on fucking hell was going on.

"She looks just like me. Oh! She stopped crying. I will put her in the crib." I heard the same man's voice as I was placed in something soft. I was still able to hear the sound of a woman moaning in pain. Now that I hear it again I think the language kinda sounds like Japanese.

I was feeling really anxious. First of all, I have no clue where I am. Second of all, I cant see properly. Third of all, why do I get the feeling that I am significantly smaller than what I am supposed to be?

Okay! Let me calm down for a second and analyse all the information I have at my disposal.

....

No.. that sounds stupid. There is no way what I am thinking is real. It only happens in fictional stories. But...

My brain cant think of another possible explanation. I am like 87% sure that I am now a freaking baby.

This realization shocked me and I heard the cry of another baby. I dont know why but the sudden realization added to the cry of the baby resulted in me crying too.

Soon I felt being picked by someone. Might I remind you that I am still crying, I am unable to stop it. But then I taste something sweet in my mouth which immediately caused me to shut up. I didnt hear the cry of the other baby either.

I have a pretty decent idea of what I am currently being fed but I seriously dont want to think about it. It actually tastes pretty good and I am starving, so I am not going to complain.

"Congratulations. You have both a daughter and a son. Both of them are healthy babies. Do you have any ideas for their names?" I heard someone speak. I still have no idea what they are talking about.

"My little princess will be called Kouenji Maaya." I heard the man's voice from earlier.

"And the little prince is Kouenji Rokusuke." It was a woman's voice.

After my tummy was full, someone patted me on my back and despite trying to contain myself I burped loudly.

Shit. This is really embarassing.

Then I was again placed in a crib. I dont know why but it brought me anxiety and I felt like I was going to cry again.

But then I felt something next to me or rather someone. Though my vision was blurry I was able to makeout that it was someone my size. So it must be the other baby I heard.

Suddenly the baby placed its hand on mine and I felt warmth spreading through my entire body. It was as if the baby was comforting me. It made me feel so warm from inside. I cant remember the last time I felt something like this. I basked in the warmth as I closed my eyes shut and slept like a baby (literally).
