Bath-time
From Create Your Own Story
After sucking on his pacifier, content for a few more minutes, the nuns all walked away from the beds robotically as many of the other kids, some laughing as they chased each other while others sucked on their own pacifiers, left with them. Daniel's milk-sibling in the blue onsie left with them. Confused, Daniel removed the pacifier stuck to his mouth as he followed far behind them, waddling to dampen the crinkling sound his diaper made. It was night-time in this strange world, the crescent moon and night sky looking more like illustrations from a picture book than how the sky should really look. How could it be nighttime already?
"BATH TIME" many of the kids shouted. Nuns were stripping the kids of their clothes, unstrapping their diapers and taking their shirts and onsies and shirttails off for them., leaving the open diapers and bundled up clothes on the beach where they left them. No matter how old they were, all of their bodies were hairless, smooth and without any pimples or scars or anything really. When the kids were completely free of clothing, they each ran into the lake's clear water in excitement. The babies that were too small to swim were carefully scrubbed and taken care of by the nuns
The older kids were unfazed by seeing peers of the opposite gender naked. Daniel on the other hand, was not. One of the nuns slowly walked to him.
"Okay lady hold on, I don't think I could--" but he could not finish, his brain turning off after the nun crouched down and kissed his forehead. She let him down, undoing his clothes. When he regained his thoughts, he could not help but cover himself up, cupping his privates in fear.
The nun led the frightened boy to the water as his feet got wet. The water was warm and soothing, making his feet tingled. As the water touched his skin, he thought he saw a sparkle go off. He looked up and saw more sparkling from the kids, as if it was showing that the water was cleaning them without them even trying. Some where splashing on another, playing. Others were neck deep in the water, enjoying the warm sensation it gave them as a family of rubber ducks (yes, living rubber ducks...) swam near them.
