Cucu's Tale Ch1 EXTRACT

Chapter 1: Birth

Most people don't remember when they woke up for the first time. I don't believe you remember when you first opened those eyes of yours to see the light of the world, just like I don't believe that you remember your first sentient thoughts. As for me, I have a pretty damn good picture of when I first woke up, and my first thoughts too.
Not that I'm bragging.

The first time I opened my eyes was about four-five years ago... Technically. Time measuring is a bit wonky here, doesn't work the same way as it does on your plane of existence. I could live through time that would equal years to you in a matter of seconds, and then with the next blink of my eyes, all those years could be rendered untrue, false, events that never took place. As I said, a bit wonky.

Anyway, back on topic. The first time I opened up my eyes, my first awakening... I was blinded by a bright white light. But I kept my eyes wide open. Even though the light burned in my eyes, as if I was staring into the very heart of the sun itself, I just kept staring. It was like a fire within me refused to let the light rob me off this moment, my first moment ever. It was incredibly... painful. I mean seriously, I wasn't kidding when i said it was like "staring into the very heart of the sun itself", you know? It's a wonder I didn't go blind. Or not. What defines a wonder? Things that people like you would call a wonder happens all the time around here. As I said; 'bit wonky.
Oh, my first sentient thoughts? Right, well, they're slightly less impressive. They went something like:
"God, I'm sooo tire- Ow. Bright. Hurts in the seeing. Ow. Who the heck does this light think it is? Ow."

... Let's move on.
