More BM first pony shenanigans. Enjoy!

Wha- Where am I? I can't... I paused, searching for the right words, FEEL anything, but yet, I can still feel things... This must be what a Time Pony's memories go through when they enter a fob watch.

Since I could not see anything except for myself and the infinite blackness, I started to piece together a hypothesis.

Let's see... Infinite blackness? I could be dead, asleep, among other things... Hmm... Maybe I can rule out death if I figure out how to manipulate the landscape like a lucid dream...

As I was trying to think of a place to create within my mind, I stumbled upon a door. Or rather, a door appeared out of nowhere and bashed me in the face. After a stream of curses and obscenities, I finally looked up at the door. Except, it wasn't a door, exactly. It looked more like the REALLY creepy windows *&* from Luici's Mansion.

Wha... What the HAY is this?! And... what's going on inside of it?

As he watched the glass, he saw his mother, watching something and crying. He could not hear her, but thankfully, thanks to Grand Theft Carriage, he could read lips. What he saw made his face pale.

"Honey, please come back. I don't know if you can hear me, but please, come back. You're all I ha-" was all Love Tap could say before bursting into tears.

Enraged, I smashed the window. Yet, it was all for naught, as hundreds of other windows appeared. The scariest part about it was that they all showed ponies that I loved, or that loved me. And they were all crying. Every last one was crying, sobbing, wailing, and basically having a tear-fest.

Young child, you are an anomaly.

Whirling around, I saw a tall, bipedal creature )$$( standing there. He looked middle aged, but... The Pain. In his eyes, there was so much.

How does one so young have eyes so old?!

Child, I have more to me than meets the eye. I am old, I am young. I am new, I am outdated. What you see is not always what you get...

Bwuh... How did he-

Read your thoughts? Child, you insult me. I am more powerful than your mortal brain can comprehend. Have you ever heard the rumors of "Father Time"? I am he, my friend.

I finally figured out how to access my mouth.

"YOU'RE FATHER TIME?!?!" I screamed.

He cringed. Guess I was too loud.

Not so loud, child. But yes, I am Father Time. But please, call me Clockwork.

"But... Why are you here?" I asked, still curious about the situation as a whole.

Child... There is no easy way to tell you this. You are in a coma. Gesturing to the windows, he said, Everything in these windows are things that are actually happening in the real world, where ponies are waiting for you. Child, you intrigue me. With that said, I am offering you a choice. A choice, of life or death. Child, you will have to choose.

"Between what?" Now I was scared. Life and Death?

You may chose from going home, he said, gesturing beside him to the windows showing scenes of me hugging my mother.

Or, you may chose the floating paradise, called Elysium. He gestured to the windows shown on the left, showing infinite happiness.

"May I take my mother with me?"

No, child. Only you.

"Then I know what I must do." My face was full of determination.

Good Luck, child. You will need it...
