Depressing...
Depressed people worked hard doing repetitive tasks at work and got very little pay under a crazy boss, that just might be a mad scientist in some cases. Life was meaningless, it was all work work work and then go home to your rundown apartment to watch TV, play video games and browse on the Internet to watch porno.
Space ships and hover cars filled the dark and gloomy night sky of New New York. It was truly a dark and depressing night. In fact, it was so depressing, you would find more cheer in a graveyard.
Corporations ruled this dark world and an evil, bitter man that was a clone of Richard Nixon, was president of Earth. But not everything was so bitter, there was still the bright side of life. Unless one is a misanthrope, then everything is hopeless in this not so bright future of aliens, robots and other weird things. If only there was girly cartoon pastel horses around to brighten up the place.
To add to the depression of this city it was raining heavily without mercy as it poured down from the dark stormy sky upon the lines of fat human and alien neck beards, whom were queuing up to enter grey booths. Those that entered never came back out again.
Bender, the most badass robot ever was feeling depressed. Oh woe was the robot Bender. His life sucked, Humans sucked and sex with hookerbots didn't make him happy enough.
The only thing that didn't suck in life was beer, cigars, sex with hookers and his favorite show All My Circuits. Other than that everything in his life sucked.
Bender's face was covered in five o'clock rust as he looked down sadly as he slowly made his way through a dark, filthy alleyway, that was invested with owls behaving like rats.
"Fry, you abandoned me!" he shouted as he kicked a trash can, that sent garbage everywhere. "That bitch Leela stole you from me! I thought I was your buddy?!"
Suddenly the lid of a dumpster opened next to him, followed by Zoidberg sticking his head out from the dumpster.
"But robit, I'm still your buddy!"
"Go away Zoidberg!" he shouted angrily while giving him a death glare.
Zoidberg jumped out from the dumpster and then cried covering his face with his claws as he ran out of the alleyway.
With Zoidberg gone he continued his sad walk through the alleyway. Up ahead, just outside of the alleyway he saw a line of fat neck beards queuing up to enter a booth.
A sensual woman's voice spoke out from the booth. "Go kill yourself today, by using Momcorp's Suicide Booths. For just 25 cent you can go end your depressing and meaningless life to benefit the economy and prevent over population."
"Over population?" he said curiously while rubbing his rusty face. "But don't we live in an intergalactic civilization spanning the entire universe? Ahhhaaa, at any rate, I'm sick of my life."
Bender agreed with the Suicide Booth as he continued to walk his way toward it. However, when he suddenly heard the crying of a baby behind him he stopped.
"Huh?" it appeared to be coming from a cardboard box next to a dumpster. He made his way to the box and saw..... saw a light blue, rainbow maned little horse creature. It was shaking and crying as it looked terrified at the metal being looking down at her.
Something.... something deep inside Bender clicked that day, it was some sort of snappy emotion, as a result it he felt pity for the little horse thing.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." he said with a soft voice. He knelt down, opened his chest cabinet and took out a large bottle of Jack Daniels. "Want a sip?" he said as he moved the bottle toward her muzzle.
The little filly's eyes were wide in surprise as she stared at the bottle.
"Come, have a taste." she sniffed it, followed by looking disgusted. "Oh, so you don't want a taste then?"
The little rainbow filly simply stared at him. He reached out his hand, which made the filly back squeak as she backed away in fear.
"Aww, you're so cute! I'm going to bring you home and raise you to be evil!"
He grabbed the filly and stuffed her inside his chest cabinet. Her crying could be heard echoing from within his chest.
"Shut up!" shouted Bender as he banged his chest cabinet.
To Bender's delight the little filly soon calmed down when she felt how warm it was inside his dark chest.
Bender, with a new leash on life gulped down his bottle of Jack Daniels. Followed by throwing it over his shoulder, which caused the bottle to smash into pieces when hit the ground.
***
Using the Tube Transport System, Bender was dropped off just outside Robot Arms Apartments, from one of thegreen tubes that were through the city.
Bender entered inside his apartment and as usual the lazy, fat receptionist that wore greasy white vest was fast asleep as he lied on a pile of beer cans on the floor, behind a red laser protected desk.
Bender sighed, seeing that the elevator was broken again. Thus Bender began walking up the long stairs to his apartment. He sighed, this was meant to be a good day when he found that little filly. Now he must climb this damn stairs. Once he was finally on the level his apartment he walked down the narrow grey corridor to his apartment number '00100100'.
He unlocked the door to his tiny apartment, then opened another door to his much bigger 'closet' and lay himself down on the couch.
He then threw some grass inside his cabinet he found on his way here to feed the filly.
Bender would raise her to be evil and live a life a crime as he did. Together with her ability to fly, they will become master thieves and escape artists.
