by Hawker Hurricane
Life is going well for Gordon. Two years ago he won the jackpot on the lottery and decided to build his dream home in the Yorkshire countryside. 6 months after moving in, he wakes up one day and realises that either the hills have moved, or he has.

Life is going well for Gordon. Two years ago he won the jackpot on the lottery and decided to build his dream home in the Yorkshire countryside. Six months after moving in, he wakes up one day and realises that either the hills have moved, or he has.

He very quickly realises he's not only not in England anymore, he isn't even on Earth.

And the anthro pony natives......

.....are misanthropes.

He finds out that humans have appeared in Equestria a long time ago and were not particularly friendly. Faced with distrust, suspicion and hatred, he has his work cut out for him as he has to both survive in an unfriendly world....

...and cope with never being able to see his mother again.

Note: Anthro ponies in this story have hands and wear clothes as the norm. They have fur, wings, horn etc. They still have hooves instead of feet.

I'm collaborating with Eon333MS on this story.

Cover image is something I did years ago. It's only temporary until I can put in something more relevant.
