The First Feather on Earth

May 24, 2015

Dear Journal.

Nothing really happened today... well accept me getting ATTACKED!!! Birds are fucking EVIL!

*Deeeep breathe* Ok. Let me start at the beginning here.

So today I had slept in my bed and consulted the List of Shit To Be Done. Yes, that is the new name for it now. First priority on the List was to scavenge for food. Luckily there's a Foodland just down the road from here, I decided to go there. Since there's also a Timber Mart right beside it, I'd stop by there as well. So for a bit of walking... well mostly crawling, and yes I did keep practicing with the book, I simply tried to tune out the bird chirps. They were starting to sound almost like a pattern! Like a code, bouncing back and forth between the birds! I even saw a robin and a crow use the same bird call!

Anyways, I tried to ignore them and their reality-breaking schemes, because that is EXACTLY what those birds are trying to do by the way. I just know it! Quote: Tried. They just kept giving me this creepy death glare the entire time! It was not unlike the death glare Luigi does in the trailer for Super Mario Kart 8! So I finally reach Foodland and managed to get inside without breaking the door, and I push a shopping cart in. Why yes indeed, I did hit my head a couple times! Thank you for asking! Anyways, I managed to grab a bunch of food, I figured out that using my teeth and head is a lot more efficient than using my ha-hooves, and decided to grab a couple of fruit and vegetable seeds!

Big Mistake. The minute I got outside I felt the eyes of the birds once more, but this time it was different. They weren't giving me an angry glare, as if I was a bird on the wrong side of Brechin. No, this was the glare of a predator stalking its prey. Thinking fast, I had slowly pulled out one of the seed packets, walked a good 20 feet from the cart and placed it down. And I kid you not, as I was slowly backing away a fucking hawk swoops down over my head and nearly clawed my eyes out! For once these weird-ass ears actually came in handy! After that, though the hawk did something rather strange and kind of creepy. It picked up the seed packet and flew off towards the forest!

Scared out of my wits at that point I frantically pushed the shopping cart back towards my house, hoping that if I stayed there the birds won't get me. Thankfully nothing else exciting happened, but when I did reach home I did have to do a lot of back-and-forth walking to get all of it stockpiled inside. Thankfully the bugs decided that they weren't going to bug me today. *snicker* Not even the apocalypse can stop me from making bad puns! Ahhhh... You know... If Josh was here he would have just punched me for saying that... I miss him...

I miss all of my friends... Dawson, Simran, Mickeala, Kenny, Raven, Philip, Sargeatook, Harold... and so, so many more... how many of them did I lose? If I'm the last one... then I've lost hundreds of friends... I'm all alone, aren't I...? That's it isn't it? One last human against the world? No... I'm not even a human either... I'm a fucking tiny horse for fuck's sake! So, that it world? This is what you throw at me? You take away my friends, my FAMILY, turn me into some fucking ANIMAL, and fucking expect me to fucking GIVE UP, AND JUST ROLL OVER AND FUCKING DIE!? WELL NEWS FLASH MR. TOUGH-SHOT-GAIA-PERSON! I AIN'T GONNA BE GIVING UP, EVER!

*sound of a window opening* HEAR THIS YOU FUCKER! I AM NEVER GOING TO GIVE UP ON THIS WORLD! MY SISTER ALREADY HAS THE FORT MANNED-DOWN IN HEAVEN, AND MY BROTHER HAS HELL LOCKED DOWN! EARTH IS MY FUCKING TERRITORY, SO YOU CAN JUST GET YOUR GRUBBY LITTLE CONNIVING HANDS OFF OF THIS FUCKING PLACE! I DO NOT GIVE ANY SHITS IF YOU'RE AN ALL POWERFUL BEING THAT'S LIKE 50 FEET TALL, I'M STILL GOING TO KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS!!!

*sound of the window being closed shut, followed shortly after by sighing* Apologies for that, I may have a wee bit of built-up aggression over the years, let's just say I wasn't exactly the most... liked of people before this shit happened. Anyways I believe that is all that happened so far today, uhhh... Oh! I did figure out that I can still drink milk and eggs so my breakfasts are covered for a bit, although they both are probably going to turn bad by tomorrow... oh well. At least I still have my apples! Man, I love apples. Apples are pretty damn good. You know, there is an old saying tha-... Hold up.

Ok wow. That was actually kind of brutal. I just saw a deer being chased by a pack of coyotes! In the middle of town too! The worst part is the deer lost because it got jumped by a couple of coyotes hiding behind the one building. Poor thing didn't even have a chance. When it got jumped one of the coyotes, it got its neck bit. Just snapped like a toothpick... Uuugh... makes me queasy just by remembering it. Although, for some reason they didn't eat their kill right then and there, the one the killed it had dragged it back towards the forest, with the other lupines following it.

Yeah, I think I should probably go to bed now. Oh! One last thing though, I found my old stuffed polar bear, Basil! (pronounced: BAH-zill by the way) Oh, he's such a huge comfort right now! He's one of those Discovery Channel ones but unfortunately, I don't have a working camera at the moment so you can't see him. Anyways, guys, it's time for me to hit the hay! So, night everyone, have a wonderful time!

-Your truly-
