Good Misfortune

• Not exactly sure why I am writing this, just am.

Oh, and if you want to just skip ahead to when this guy actually ends up in equestria in the next "chapter" go right ahead. I will probably summarize what happened here.

• also this will be short, just pointing that out now.

Prologue

Rock Bottom

You would think I had hit rock bottom by now; dads a drug addict, brother in jail for murder, and on my way home I was told that my mom had passed away earlier today. Walking alone through the cold streets with all of this to think about, yep this day can't possibly get any worse.

"HEY DANIEL"

...

This world just loves proving me wrong ...

I recognized that voice so I immediately recognized who he was, his name was Derek.  He tried to go around with a couple of his friends and be thugs. HA.  He would fight me every so often and by now I can defend myself, but I wasn't exactly in the mood to fight. Not to mention tired.

"The fuck you want Derek?"

I should have chosen my words more carefully.  The moment I turned around I was met with a fist to my face. Hurt like hell mind you but I have had worse.

I could see his "friends" a couple feet away. I take a look at my surrounding to see if I can get anything to defend myself with.  Oh what do you know I'm in an ally.  An ally street fight, how cliche.

     (5 minutes later)

*WHAM*

OK, that hurt.  Jesus I just noticed how cold it was... wait, its almost never cold. Why would it suddenly be col...

*BOOM*

...

Shit, I had forgotten there was gonna be a storm tonight.

"HEY DEREK" one of his friends yelled "We should get out of here!"

"Why!?" asked Derek

"It's a lighting storm!" He yelled back

...

Oh shit... There has only been a dozen or so lighting storm as far as I knew and each one would end up with several people injured from lighting and in some cases death.  The lighting storms here are rare and dangerous.

"Are you sure?!?" asked Derek who now seemed a little worried.

*BOOM*

*CRACK*

"Yeah its definitely a lighting storm!" the man yelled back

"OK, lets get somewhere the lighting can't reach us!"

"DEREK!" I yelled

He had almost forgotten about me, and with the fighting I was bleeding, more than him but it still left us both tired out.

"Derek help me out dude!" I yelled

"Sorry" he said in a sarcastically rude tone "But I would prefer to let you fend for yourself!"

There must have been something there that I didn't catch because the rest of them seemed to laugh at that remark.

"DEREK YOU ASSHOLE!"

*BOOM*

*CRACK*

He looked back "Yeah yeah, If I where in your position I would find a safe place , since your house is nearly a mile away, instead of insulting others"

He was right, but I still couldn't control my self.

"YOU ASSHOLE" I yelled back as I saw him leave, and walked out of sight

fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,fuck, FUCK!  I was panicking, I needed to get somewhere safe and fast. I should probably take a look around and...

*BOOM*

*CRACK*

No time to think! Start moving!

I moved but found that my injuries where more painful than I had thought, but that didn't stop me from trying I had to get out of here and that storm is nearly above me.

"AGHHHH"

I tripped and fell hard on my side not helping the fact that I was in pain.

*BOOM*

*CRACK*

"Shit! I have to move fast ...AGHHH... that storm is getting closer by the second"

*BOOM*

*CRACK*

"I have to before..."

I was immediately blinded by a bright flash...shit, not like this...

Pain...

...I only felt pain...

...As darkness slowly took my vision...

...and I accepted fate...

~Time Passes~

...pain...

...darkness...

This is all I knew at the moment, slowly the darkness left me. Butt it was pointless since my surroundings seemed dark, most likely night. Thank God, I was alive.

"AGHHHH"

Alive but in pain...great. I slowly crawled to a nearby tree and sat under it leaning back on the base.  I took a closer look at my surrounding...it was...a...forest?

"How the hell did I end up here?"
