If children could choose their parents, would they still want to come into this world?

Blurb for the upcoming story, "Ghost Baby"

As a pitiful, fragile, but very hungry ghost fetus, A Bao is constantly worrying about her powerful, deranged, and equally ravenous ghost mother.

Everyday life for the ghost mother and daughter

"Mom! Open your mouth! That's a living soul, not a snack!"

A Bao shrieks herself hoarse, finally rescuing the "food" from her ghost mom's mouth. In the process, she saves the victim and keeps the two of them from incurring more karmic debt.

Ah! What a good little ghost she is!

"Mom! Stop! We're here for the buffet, not to pick a fight!"

A Bao is sweating buckets, but finally gets her mother to stop obsessing over tearing evil ghosts limb from limb. In a cold, sinister place, surely soaking up yin energy to fill their bellies matters more.

Hey! Stop fighting!

"Mom! Run! It's a group outing for celestial masters! We can't beat them!"

A Bao trembles with fear. Why is her mom so reckless? Can't she see their spirit banners, soul-bewitching bells, and human-skin drums?

If ever there was a time to lie low, this is it!

What can she do, stuck with a mom like this, when she's still in her belly and can't survive on her own?

All she can do is make sure Mom studies hard and keeps improving, so she can become a powerful, good ghost and get reincarnated as soon as possible.

So the ghost mom goes around robbing homes with her belly out (not really), absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, exorcising evil ghosts (literally), fighting for justice, and making a little money on the side to support herself.

After countless hardships, she finally gives birth to A Bao.

From ghost fetus to ghost baby. Keep going! She's one step closer to growing up.

Next, she just needs to get a good reincarnation and be born human, right? A Bao rubs her hands together excitedly.

But what does it mean that spiritual energy is fading, the underworld has fallen into chaos, and no souls can be reincarnated properly?

A Bao looks furious and heartbroken. Is the sky about to fall? Where are the tall people? Get out here and hold it up!

A certain tall person: "Hey~ Are you calling me?"
