As the ugliest baby in the orphanage home, I was the least of the nun's favourites. They cleaned my soiled pants once a day, feed me last, and never sing me a lullaby as they usually do with other babies. And this made me the saddest baby inside the Calvary orphanage home.
Since I hardly smile and never laugh, other babies avoid me like plague, and I learnt to be my companion in a few days of my existence."Who will bathe Ugly-face? He had been making that horrible sound since morning!" Alice who seemed to be the only nun who is indifferent towards me asked when I didn't stop crying because of my soiled pant.
Alicia who hated me and never hide the fact answered back, "I have chills whenever I stepped near him, please attend to him yourself.""Come and attend to ugly-face, Betty."Alice called another open enemy of mine to attend to me, but she shakes her head and mumbled, "I can't, Alice. I always have nightmares whenever I touch him."
Alice seemed to be angry when the other two nuns refuses to attend to me, and when I cried louder, folded my two fists and screeched at the top of my voice, she had no choice but to stand from her seating position and marched towards me.
"Both of you had never touched Ugly-face since he was brought here three months ago," Alice said as she walked towards me, picked me up from my couch with her left hand, and carried me like a piece of rag into the washroom.
"He is all yours, Alice. You were the one that agreed to accept him when we all refuse," Betty answered back. "What did you want me to do?.. Reject him?-. This place is owned by the state, financed by the state, and we don't have any reason to reject any baby, regardless of his or her physical challenge," Alice answered back as she removed the pampers on my buttocks, placed me inside a bowl and began to scrub the dirt off my body."We can reject him because he is not a baby but a monster. Have you ever seen any baby as ugly as that?" Alicia let out."I wish I know his mother. She needs to explain how she ends with an awful-looking baby like this," Betty added, and both ladies giggled after.
After thorough washing by Alice, I was fed with nutritional baby food, tucked into my cot, and was left to brood alone when something like a holographic image suddenly appeared in my front.
'What the fuck is this?'
"Host found... System activated." An automated voiceover sounded in a whisper beside me.
'Host!.. Am I infected?'
'No.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"To stay alive and unlock your next strength, you must kiss the three nuns before you are a year older."
"What!" I frown my face and as look as uglier as I can, and my impossible mission made me throw my two arms in a fitful rage. "How am I supposed to kiss the three hateful nuns?"
"Maybe your profile will help, " the automated voiceover answered back, and the holographic display of my profile appeared in front of me.
'Strength: smiling, giggling and crying.
Weakness: awful-looking.Target to remain alive and unlock more strength; kiss the three nuns.'"How the hell is smiling, giggling and crying part of my strength?" I asked after reading my unbelievable profile.
"A baby is not supposed to say profanity words," the system answered back.
"What will happen if I failed my missions?" I asked.
"You will be sent back to the judgement room, and then proceed to hell. You won't dare fail, will you?"
"I don't know how on earth I'm supposed to kiss the three nuns who hate me with passion."
"I will appear to you when you accomplish your mission, or when the time-lapse. But I think the latter won't be the best for you."
As soon as silence returned to my vicinity, the thought of how to accomplish my task flowed into my head.
During my previous life as a beautiful woman, kissing the opposite sex is one of the easiest things for me, and I kissed two to three different men daily. But now, I am reborn as a male. Worse of all, I am ugly and not pleasant to the eyes.'How will I kiss before I reach a year?' I asked myself, turned towards Alice as she walked closer to my cot, and offered a smile at her sight.
"Oh my gosh! He is smiling!" Alice exclaimed when she see my horrible smile.
Though I felt shameful at her exclamation, the remembrance of my task made me smile like a moron until the other two nuns arrived at my cot and gawked at me.
"He looks uglier with that smile!" Betty exclaimed."No. He looks a little handsome. I won't hate him with passion if he keeps smiling like this."
"Alice is right, " Alicia said, giggling and letting out, "he looks less horrible when he smiled, and I prefer it to his awful cry."
"One of you should pick me up and kiss me," I mumbled."What is Ugly-face babbling about?" Alicia asked as she make a face at me, pinch my left cheek and said, "you can smile as long as you like. I am not a fan of yours, and your smile can't change my mind."
"Let's go and play with other children. His bizarre smiling is giving me chills," Betty announced, hissed and walked off.
"Will you play with him for a while?" Alice asked Alicia.
"No chance, buddy. I can't touch that thing with a six-foot-long pole," Alicia answered back, peeked at my face and let out, "babies' smiles are supposed to make someone feel relaxed, but your smiling is giving us chills."
Alicia left, and I was left alone with Alice who keeps smiling back at me.
"Give me your hand, sweetheart," I mumbled as I stretched my right hand towards her."Poor baby... He is lonely and wants me to carry him."
"Yes, Babe. Carry me up and plant a wet kiss on my lips."
Alice picked me up and nestle me in her chest, and then began to sing a lullaby to put me to sleep. Using that opportunity, I pulled her long and silky hair and tried to kiss her.
"I don't want to sleep, Alice. I want to be kissed by you," I yelled when she keeps pulling me away from her face.
"Not that face again," Alice mumbled, sighed and quickly placed me back into my cot.

WORTHY EVIDENCE
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
MARRIED TO A BEAST
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? You always drive out at the same time.""Yes, Jasmine. I have a presentation at a university in another state, and then another presentation at a seminar. I won't be bac
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.
