Chapter 1:
Awake
The first thing I can recall properly, or my first memory, is feeling somewhat confused.
This was for a lot of reasons: I was no longer twenty-two years old (at least judging by my pudgy hands, blurry vision, and the attention span of a mosquito), other children were roaming around, the adult people around me were clearly not speaking my native language, and I was enthralled by a bright orange wood cube.
Don't get me wrong, I normally don't despise orange, or wood, or regular geometrical 3-D objects, it's fascinating, really, but before this first memory of me in a little body, I am quite certain I was just about to submit my thesis for my Bachelor's degree in Physical Engineering. Thereby my confusion.
It most definitely was not a dream, simply because if you can think about being in a dream while you are sleeping, it's really easy to distinguish it from reality. At least this has always been something I could do.
My confusion was slowly subdued by my rising panic.
WHAT THE FUCK!?
I was almost hyperventilating, and boy isn't that something stupid to do? The other children would notice something was wrong with me, as would the adults, and I would find myself in some secret military lab being dissected for some reason or another. Maybe I was overthinking it.
Obviously, this chain of thoughts was not helping. A sudden crash caused me to stiffen. Raising my eyes from the fascinating orange cube I could see the window's glass had cracked and was missing shards. I couldn't explain it, but some part of my mind recognized that I was the cause of that event.
Oh, so I AM a military experiment. I thought.
Because seriously, what else could it be? Going from being 22 years old to a toddler around other toddlers with telekinetic mind powers triggered by panic? I was clearly a child-soldier to be.
But the adult in the room squealed in fright, before ushering the children away from the window.
Following a gut feeling, I spent the following hours crying and blending in with the other children
No adult praised me or in any way recognized what would [should be] be a success for their military development.
Maybe I was a failed project?
So, in conclusion, it seems like: I was a twenty-two years old telekinetic almost engineer in the body of a toddler, and it looked like I was not under observation.
If history or comics of any kind have taught me anything, it is that revealing yourself to be somewhat different without being in a position of power is madness.
So, keeping it secret it was.
