Chapter 1 "BORN"

It was a winter night when my mother gave birth to me. She was only twenty years old at that time. When I came out of my mother, the nurse brought me to a room full of other creatures like myself. I was placed in a soft bed and covered fully with a rabbit. Although we were in the same hospital, I felt like my mother and I were in two separate worlds. A few days passed, yet no one came to see me. It felt like an eternity to me. The days without me seeing my mother brought a lot of pain in my heart, that's why I kept crying. The nurse, who was watching over the infantry, mistook my crying for hunger. She forced down a bottle in my mouth, nearly choking me down in the process. But it did kept me quiet for a while, cause I found out that I was also quite hungry.

As I was sucking the bottle, my mind unconsciously fell into a deep sleep. As I was sleeping, I saw the face of my mother, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes for the very first time. There were tears in her eyes even though she was smiling. She held out her arms and the nurse gave me to her. As she softly cradled me in her arms, she began talking in a language that I couldn't seem to understand. But then the nurse slowly took me from her protective arms and carried me away from her. Then I suddenly woke up.
