Just a Normal Day

Why did you lie to me! You said that was their base! They were all innocent and I killed them!

I'm sorry Tyler. I know I shouldn't have lied to you but if I hadn't you wouldn't have dropped the bomb. We needed you to do this. We needed to end the war.

I began to fell my sense returning not that I remember them going away. The first was smell. Slowly but surely a faint aroma began to trigger memories in my brain. I was in a hospital. The smell of sterilization broke down a dam of recollections about my travels years ago. Not many were good ones mind you so had I been fully concious I would have began bawling right then. But lucky for me I was still, in my mind at least, 50% dead.

As my other senses came back to me I heard a soft beep every few seconds. This confused me. I knew I was in a hospital and alive, but why was I hooked up to a heart monitor? The pain from however long ago felt like it was enough for me to be beyond help. I didn't even think I would end up in a hospital, I figured I would be left for dead. So why hook a helpless case to a vital machine. Even with the odd chance I clung to life, it didn't make sense.

Finally being 100% aware of my surroundings, based solely on hearing. I slowly opened my eyes as I grunted in pain. Apparently I had company because I heard some shuffling and a slight dip in the bed I was on, as if someone had sat down on it. I opened my eyes fully and immediately regretted it. Sitting by my feet was a humanoid... thing. I wasn't sure what it was. I had the body of a human, spare the legs which just ended in stubs. Hoofs maybe? The face though, the face was so weird. The eyes were huge compared to a human, hell they were even big compared to a Mer-persons eyes (2x the size of humans). The nose and mouth were together to form a muzzle of sorts. Oh, and the ears, without a doubt I could tell those were horse ears. So my guess was this creature was some sort or Horse x Human cross. Oh and it was covered in brown fur. I was shocked further when it started speaking. In English no less.

"Hello sir," it said a little uneasy "I trust you are felling well,"

Now I'm guessing here but I was pretty sure this was a doctor. My suspicions weren't confirmed until I saw it reach for a clipboard on the table next to me. I mean, what kind of doctor doesn't wear a coat, or a stethoscope. "I guess I'm alright" I replied. I tried to sit up but pain assaulted my chest and I fell back down onto my back.

"Oops, guess I should have warned you about that. You see, you had 4 broken ribs so your chest will hurt for a few weeks. Don't worry though, our magic was able to mend them. Also, may I ask a quick question?"

"Shoot,"

"How can you understand me?" He asked

I looked at him dumbfounded. Did he really just ask me how I understood English? "Well doc, I may have been raised up in a French city I've been fluent in English since grade 1," I answered

"English?" he said "No idea what that is. Right now your speaking Equestrian,"

He had to be joking. We both were speaking English. What the hell did he mean by Equestrian? A well I can get an answer for that later. Right now I had a much bigger question on my mind.

"Doc, quick question, Where am I?" I asked

"You sir are currently in the Ponyville hospital. Ponyville being the name of the town, the country however is called Equestria." he replied without missing a beat. "Well I'm sure you have more questions but right now you need your rest. I'll be back to check on you in a few hours" and with that the doctor was out.

I was left alone. No way I was going to even try and sleep. Too many things on my mind, besides I probably wouldn't be able to. Damn insomnia.

I thought back to what the doctor had said "Our magic was able to mend them" I assumed he was just saying they worked their "magic" and got me fixed up. I also thought back to he said about being in the country Equestria. I hoped that it was just an unfounded land mass out in the ocean somewhere. Though it didn't make much sense, countries have scoured the whole of the seas. That left 2 possibilities. I had really died and gone to some heaven or hell type place or I was on an entirely different planet. Both sounded like bullshit so I stopped thinking about them.

I wasn't even alone for 5 minutes before a nurse came in and told me I had visitors. I told her to send them in. I mean, What could possibly go wrong?
