Being reborn on Christmas

         A criminal had broken into a bank with his gun and had ordered everyone to give him the money in the volt and all of this was happening on Christmas of all days. But as he had gotten his money and went out the front door the police were there waiting for him demanding that he put his hands in the air and drop the money. He tries to make a run for it why are you saying “You will never take me alive.” Then the police shoot him and he begins to die.

As he lay down on the floor dying he could see his life passing before his eyes how he didn't really have a happy home. His parents were very neglectful he ended up falling into crime and doing all these drugs on the streets. Now that he thought about it he never once had a very happy Christmas where all his family were they were just happy and exchanging gifts like most people usually did and with that, it seemed as if he had just died.

               It was then that this criminal woke up but he was in the body of a 10-year-old boy named Mark who had just gotten out of bed. But it was strange he wasn't sure if he was the criminal or if he was the boy Mark because he also had all of Mark's memories. This boy also seemed to have a much better childhood than he ever did with parents who seemed to be more attentive and loved him and an older brother.

The criminal tried to get hey grasp on reality as he realized that he was still himself then he looked at both the clock and the calendar and realized that it was Christmas Day he had somehow traveled back in time. He wasn't sure how all of this happened but at least now he could lay low and perhaps even become a criminal again when he grew up.

The rest of the family ended up calling Mark down and that's when he and his brother ended up opening up the Christmas gifts he ended up getting a toy fire truck. The rest of the family then went to the kitchen and had lunch together. This was all very nice for him but then they all went on a walk to the store to take advantage of all the good deals this day.  When he saw a bunch of money in a charity box well no one was looking at he tried to just pickpocket it but then something happened and he was knocked out.

Just then the criminal was in bed again only this time he looked in the mirror and realized that he was now a teenage girl in a completely new room and once again it was Christmas morning. He had once again traveled back in time to Christmas morning but he still had all of Mark's memories inside his head and now he had the memories of this girl Susan also had a very good childhood and had another sister named Valerie who was still just a kid. The family called her down as her little sister started opening up her presents and received a doll house she asked Valerie to play with her where she did. It was strange having these memories of her playing and being so close to her little sister. After lunch, the entire family went for another walk where the thief decided to pickpocket a stranger and then woke up as this man on Christmas Day who didn't really have a family.

The thing was the criminal was now going through different bodies and every time he did anything that was similar to theft he would be placed in another person's body with all of the memories. This was quite an interesting experience as every time it became more and more difficult for him to realize his own memories but his will to steal just kept prevailing and he kept being placed in other people's bodies. Before long he had been through several dozen people in the town.

He had become the town mayor and then tried to embezzle on Christmas but then he was again woke up as someone who had a job as a mall Santa. But he ended up trying to steal and then ended up as a simple teenage worker in a store. Then he ended up waking up as a mom trying to take care of these children but then tried to steal and again woke up as someone else. With every person he woke up as his memory became more and more unsure of who he was as he kept getting more and more memories inside his head the will to steal was still there but it was getting fainter and fainter with each body he was in.

Then he woke up as an old woman on Christmas Day. He began having memories of grandchildren and all these others to the point where he no longer remembered his life as a thief and didn't have any desire left to steal. As the old woman he had so many memories inside his head, he wasn't sure how to make sense of them all but after all of them, he realized that life was a good thing. He went outside to look at Christmas Day and everyone being happy and then died of heart failure. The difference with this death was that he was able to die with a smile happy with all these false memories in his mind.

A week later the former thief was reborn as a baby girl in the hospital and was the first baby of the New Years. Her new parents named her Serah, and she didn't seem to have any memories of her life as a thief but she had vague feelings about all those other lives that she ended up living and the lessons that she learned about enjoying life. She simply enjoyed herself and the next Christmas was a great time where she enjoyed it becoming completely reborn.
