- >One year, 3 months, and two days
- >That's how long it has been since you had contact with anyone
- >Since you moved deeper into the everfree next to a waterfall, nopony came near you
- >The car you came in and the tech you had on you was log gone, stored in a royal archive somewhere
- >All you had was what you made for yourself, and some things you stole from the townsfolk in the dead of night
- >Things they wouldn't miss, like a broom, some soap, or a brush
- >You were never caught because even the ponies who were concerned about security relied on spells, which always stopped working when you were around
- >Coming from a world without magic made you magic resistant
- >Today, you wake up to the sun rising, just as you always do
- >You shuffle outside and check your traps, finding nothing. Again
- >You check all the parts of the time device you made
- >It was made from gear like pieces scattered everywhere, connecting to a carved wooden board that told the time, date, day of the week, and what season it was
- >It had taken you until a couple months ago to finish it, and now that you had, you were back in a rut
- >But today wasn't just another day of the same routine
- >The last two months have worn you down, and you've finally come to the conclusion that this world isn't worth living in
- >Nobody welcomed you anymore
- >In fact, the last time you were in town, you were chased out by an angry mob within the hour, screaming about a monster
- >One lonely man can only take so much, and that point was long past
- >The only thing that kept you going was busying yourself with your invention
- >But today was it
- >You have had enough.
- >Today, you were going to end your life
- >With a sharpened manticore claw in one hand, and a stolen bottle of hard cider in the other, you head to your favorite scenic view
- ---
- >You’re Fluttershy now
- >Waking up with the sun, you take your time feeding the animals that have decided to stay
- >You enjoy helping all the critters, and they seem to like being here
- >Today, a weasel wanted your help
- Oh, do you need me to follow you?
- >The weasel nodded and started out the door
- >After making sure angel had the food he wanted, you followed
- >He led you to a far end of the forest, down a path you’ve seen before, but never explored
- >He stopped just past the edge of a small clearing facing a cliff
- Someone else needs help?
- >He nods and points to a figure at the edge of the cliff
- >You let out a silent gasp at what it was
- >It was that… hoo man
- >It threw an empty bottle off the cliff, which shattered a moment later
- >It looked up at the sky and spoke
- Goodbye world, you cruel bitch
- >Then it positioned itself to do something that nopony in equestria had ever seen
- >It was going to kill itself
- >You feel a panicky feeling run through you as you watched
- >The moment it moves to stab itself, you involuntarily let out a squeak
- ---
- >You’re Anon again
- >You just threw the empty bottle off the cliff face after pinching yourself and finding you didn’t feel it
- >You said your last words and went for it
- >Right when you did, however, a loud sqeak of terror distracted you
- >In your drunken state, it was enough to make you miss your heart, and drive it into the other side of your chest
- >Turns out it did hurt
- >You let out a scream of pain
- >Suddenly, a small yellow pegasus is at your side, checking the injury
- Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
- >You start to feel unconsciousness clutch at you from the slow blood loss (the claw is still in)
- I-i-it’s going to be ok, it’ll be ok
- >Aquivering voice spoke at you
- >Despite your body trying to knock itself out, you spit back a reply
- No it won’t! It will NOT be “ok”!!
- >The pegasus seems taken aback. Probably surprised you can speak
- It won’t be ok because none you bastards care what I do! Not a single one of you would be at my fueneral!!
- >Rage was starting to take hold, your emotions spilling over
- Fuck, I wouldn’t even have one!! Nobody would care that that horrible monster died!
- >You’re screaming now
- YOU THINK BEING ALONE IS FUN? YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS DIFFERET, YOU SHOULD FEAR THEM?
- >Sadness sneaks its way in as you start sobbing uncontrollably
- NOT ONE!!
- >You lower your voice
- Not one pony visited. I don’t want to be alone anymore
- >Unconsciousness starts to win the fight now
- I don’t want to be alone…. I don’t want to be alone…
- >You say over and over again, softer and softer each time
- >Just before you black out, you feel yourself being hugged
- >A small voice on the edge of tears says something in your ear
- I’m here. I won’t leave you alone. You don’t have to be alone
- >Then the world is black
- ---
- >You wake up again in a small bed, shirtless, and with bandages covering your right chest area
- >You open your eyes to see the wooden interior of a house
- >You try to sit up, but are stopped by pain and a yellow hoof
- Oh, you’re awake! Let me get you some soup!
- >A quiet voice said
- >The pony in question walked out of the room, giving you a chance to see who she was
- >It was Fluttershy. You’ve heard about her, she takes care of animals
- >She comes back with a bowl of soup, which smells delicious
- Why
- >You ask, finding that talking causes some pain in your chest
- >The butter yellow pegasus looks confused for a moment
- Because nopony should hurt like that
- >Now it was your turn to be confused
- >Fluttershy gives you the soup to drink as she answers
- Nopony should have to be like you were. Alone, in a place where everypony feared and hated you
- >She pauses, thinking for a moment
- I see somepony who needs a friend more than anything else in the whole world. You looked so broken the other day…
- >She looks a sad now, a sort of wistful sadness
- But you shouldn’t do… that…
- >She smiles and gives you a tender hug
- I’ll be your friend. You don’t have to be alone
- >Tears were shed that day, as you returned the hug and sealed the deal
- >It turns out you had collapsed a lung from that stunt, but with Fluttershy’s help, you slowly got better
- >You eventually moved all of your things over to her cottage, and lived with her, helping her feed and care for the critters of the woods
- >You even managed to move the time device, by putting it in a nearby river with a strong current.
- >As time passed, Fluttershy would introduce you to her friends
- >Maybe one day, you will be on friendly terms with everypony
- >Maybe; life is worth living after all
