Intro It was raining... as it usually did in the summer, but your umbrella was broken and you couldn't afford not to deliver the pizza if you wanted to get your weekly paycheck. You would often look at families who order extra-large pizzas, wondering what it would be like if you had a family of your own as you saw the happy faces of the moms, dads, children, aunts, uncles, and siblings who would answer the door to receive their order. You would sometimes be a little creeper and watch through the window to see how happy they were gathered around the dining table to say their prayers or simply gobble down on the food watching an animated movie together. It's unfortunate, but you never got that. You grew up in the foster care system and had nobody to protect or defend you, so you did it yourself and for the other new kids who came into the orphanage. You knew your life barely had any purpose and you had no plans to live a long life, just living day by day to survive. The last thing you expected was running away from a volatile dog that was able to escape its leash and you slipped and fell on a veranda step, cracking your neck and ending your life... all from trying to deliver a simple bloody pizza. Sometimes life isn't fair that way. All you could do as you slipped into unconsciousness was laugh at the circumstances of your life. It wasn't even a good run. Just as you're about to give up, you get the shock of your life when you wake up... in a grand bed, with ornate and antique-looking furniture, and your hands are... tiny.
