On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth.
This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began.
Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and advent...
Amanda opened her eyes and looked around at her surroundings. She was in her room but it didn't look like it was lived in. It looked just like a plain room.
"Number Zero. I told you to be downstairs for dinner at 6. It is now 6:30. Please come now." She heard a familiar voice. She got off the bed and opened the door, where she ended in the dining room. She saw a man she hadn't seen in years. Her father.
"Am I dead?" She asked.
"Number Zero. I said it was time for dinner." He said.
"Stop it!" She yelled. He turned and looked at her. "Am I dead?"
"Not yet. But it seems you've been taken to your limit."
"I'm surprised you never did." She scoffed, going and taking a seat next to him.
"There were a lot of things I could've done. But this was one I could never bring myself to do."
"Beating the shit out of me?"
"Language."
"So guess this is my limit, huh?" She laughed. "Maybe I am really dead. I grew up in this place and I guess my hell is to live here forever again."
"You always were snarky Number Zero."
"My name is Amanda dad. I don't go by Zero anymore. I haven't for years and if I'm stuck here with you, then I'd like you to respect me enough to not call me that."
"Very well." She looked at him and noticed he had aged more since the last time she saw him.
"Dad, why were you always so...?"
"Finish your sentence Amanda."
"So cold towards us all."
"You children were not normal. You needed strong guidance. You-"
"So you treated us awful because we weren't normal?" She laughed and got up. "That's really your excuse dad? Wow. Even in the dead, you're still an ass."
"It shaped who you all are today."
"Yeah, emotionally unstable bastards."
"Amanda, I said watch your mouth."
"Why? What does it matter? I'm dead right. And of all the people to be stuck with, I'm stuck with you forever. You know, I used to regret leaving. I used to think that maybe if you called me, I'd come back. But I never got a call." She felt her eyes started to well.

"Would you have answered?"
"Every time. You're still my dad. As much as I couldn't stand you, I still love you." She cried to him. He stood up and walked over to her, placing his arm around her shoulder.
