In the eyes of a child, you will see the world as it should be... except this child.
Right this very moment, Penny was sure all her eyes were screaming was horror. Babies were meant to be innocent, free from worries and wonders of the world. They should be sleeping soundlessly, smiling innocently, and simply a delightful existence. Not a baby with the memory of her criminal record!
Was she reborn? Did she reincarnate so soon?
Myriads of questions crossed her newborn brain, but none of them were answered. Thinking back to the time before she woke up in this small body, Penny could vividly remember her time in prison and all the years she spent trying to be a part of the family she was rightfully a member of, like it was yesterday.
Just like that time when her so-called family found her, Penny felt this same exact sense of hope for a new beginning.

Penny rubbed her little hands together and blew on them to give herself some warmth. The tip of her nose was red, and some snowflakes clung to her cheeks. Her body shivered within the worn-out and short jacket she had since she was six years old.
"Auntie!" she called from the outside, knocking on the small gates with her bare fingers. "Auntie, I learned my

"Auntie, it's cold here..." her voice lowered as it shook

Penny clasped the cold metal gates as she sniffed, wiping her tears with her sleeve that only reached half

of her arm. She turned around and hugged herself, rubbing her shoulders and then her hands together while blowing on them. Looking around, snow already blanketed almost everything.
The houses were all closed to protect themselves from the unbearably cold season. Penny was just thirteen, but she knew if she stayed out of there, she would freeze to death. Looking back at the gate one more time, she realized her auntie's anger wouldn't cease
anytime soon.
With that thought in mind, Penny dragged her feet
away.
'Aunt Baby went to her husband's place,' she thought, thinking of the only neighbor who showed concern for her. If this neighbor was only here, Penny would've been in her place the minute her real auntie chased her away after Penny accidentally spilled soup in her
hand.
