Arrival Draft #1

A light shines through the darkness, blinding me. Suddenly felt something grab me. The once dark abyss was shining with bright lights. 'Where am I?' I thought before being picked up. I look down to see I was being held by a man with a face mask.

"It's a boy!" The man said before passing me to a woman. 'Was I just birth?' I look at the woman as she holds me in her arm. The woman had light blonde hair and was wearing a white beanie of some sort. Her face had some wrinkles and she wore a sweet smile.

"He's beautiful..." she said looking at me. "Marty, come here." She turns her head over.

A man enter my view, and my impression of this man went the way up due to that mustache. Don't know which one it is, but this man, who I assume is my dad, rocks it with his dirty blonde hair.

I glanced at the man as he looks at me. "Is he supposed to look like that?"

-100 Reputation

I was stunned, lucky though, my mother seems to sense my pain and hit him. I can't say that it hurt, but it is better than anything I can dish out right now. "Marty stop, don't say that about our child."

"Sorry Min, I'm sure he will grow to be a handsome young man." He said jokingly rubbing his arm. That's more like it.

He slides in on the bed and hugs my mother. Mom leans in and closes her eyes as a smile comes on her face.

"Oh, Marty." She whispers.

It was honestly, a really, nice moment. I thought laying there watching their passionate display of affection as I unknowingly fell to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Many days have passed. Many of which include being checked up on by the doctors, sleep, and booming. It was uncomfortable at first, getting your diaper changed. But when you have no control of your body, it's best just to let it happen.

Within these past few months, I have been taken home which gives me a chance to see the outside world. We live in a very tropical area, with palm trees and coconuts, and a beach. I could even smell the sea in the house. I used to spend a lot of time with mom but after a couple of months, she started going back to work. Leaving me with dad and returning in at night.

He's alright. Besides taking care of me he mainly lets me do whatever, of course under his watchful eyes. Which is a good thing, as it allows me to explore, although I'm kinda disappointed. It seems this is just an ordinary world which made me a little depressed. I don't know, I just don't want to slave away again when I get older.

"Finn!!!"

Oh yeah, they named me, Finn. Kinda surprised they didn't keep the M. Because of Martin Mertens...Minerva Mertens. Anyway, my pop is calling me so I start crawling my way over there. Yeah, that's right, I can crawl. Impressive I know.

"Here comes the rascal." My dad said in a baby voice. He grabs me and starts carrying me. He gets an umbrella and takes me outside, opening it.

"Hey Finn, Daddy needs a new pair of shoes. So I going to bring you along okay?" He said and I nodded my head. "You're a smart baby aren't you. Got it from your quick-witted father."

We stroll down the streets when a voice cried out. "Hey, Marty! Looking forward to that cut next week."

"Is that time again? Sure, just drop by." He said to a man with messy hair.

"Thanks, is that you, son?" He poked at me.

"Yes, this is Finn, hey Finn this is my customer Max."

"Woah, he got some really nice hair. Bet you are going to give him the most rad haircut."

"You can bet on it!" My dad exclaims puffing up his chest a little. "Anyways, I got to go. Got to go get me a new pair of shoes."

"Ok, oh yeah, some guys were looking for you earlier. " He said as we departed, waving me goodbye.
