a_time_slipI was never supposed to be born.
I heard that almost every day of my life since I was eight years old.'Omo, you never should have been born', 'Omo, you're nothing but trouble'.
Every day at least one. Needless to say, I never had siblings. Children weren't allowed where I grew up.
If two time travelers have children, where does their child belong? Should they even try to have children? All answers pointed to no. The youngest of the group joined in her mid teens, and everyone thought she was too young to be there. When she disappeared shortly after arriving, I know they all just knew they were right- but she'd taken one of theirs with her. Those were my parents. I was born while they bounced around time and space.
Birth certificate says I was born May 15, 1914. Now, I don't know if that's true, but I do know they sent me to live with some 'family' in Florida. There I had a brother. I liked having someone to play with when I lived there, he teased me- but it was someone like me. I could relate to him. None of the other places had kids and then when I was eight, I ended up at the Iyanifa compound with my real Mama and Daddy.
I was the only kid there, and it was lonely growing up. I never got to play games or do anything that I see kids doing now. I don't have someone I can talk to, that can tease me and I still know I love them.
Is it right to feel cheated? Even if it's not, I do. I want a brother or sister- or family. I want that experience, just to feel a little more human.
