Friends With Benefits
Am I dead or this some really heavy trip brought on by loads of painkillers?
I was going, however reluctantly, to my 15th high school reunion. I hadn't attended any of the others, but I thought an appearance was in order. I wanted to see if anyone else in my generation had failed as miserably as I. The trip was supposed to be a two hour flight from San Antonio, TX to Philadelphia, PA, then a three hour drive to NE Pennsylvania.
Halfway through the flight, we caught turbulence. The turbulence got exponentially worse as the flight went on. One hour, fifteen minutes after take off, the right wing sheared off the Boeing 747. Then the left engine exploded. I'm pretty sure everyone on-board died. In fact, I should be very much so many parts per million of subatomic particles.
I wasn't though; I am missing a left calf, my left arm is torn to shreds, my back shattered, and my right arm broken horribly so I really SHOULD HAVE died. Considering my current condition, I kinda wish I had… And if weren't for these technicolor pony hallucinations finding me, I'm pretty sure I would have.
This has to be a dream… Is this Heaven, Hell, or some perverse Purgatory? (I don't even believe in purgatory; what the fuck?!) It's likely I'm in a coma and this is some incredibly realistic dream. God help me, if I'm not dead, if I survived the mid air explosion, then where in the fuck am I?!
Expect some Twi-bashing and some Dash-bashing as well. Twilight, as a character, is pretty cool, but not my favorite pony. ArDee can be annoying at times… Also, fair warning, every fifteen chapters there will be an anachronism chapter. Wiki it if you don't know what it means…
Updates will occur whenever I have time to do so. Real life be kicking my ass…
