"Eurrghh.." I awoke from my sleep, feeling tired. I'm pretty sure I only got three or four hours of sleep. I sat up, wiping my eyes.
"Here's another toast to a shitty life." I raised my hand in the air, as if I had a glass, clinking it with other people. Although those other people, weren't exactly real..
I got up from my bed, almost tipping over onto my dresser. I leaned over it for a second or two, then opened the drawers. I picked a set of clothes randomly.
Red flannel, white undershirt, and some black jeans.
Yep, that's how I dress. Anyways, after getting dressed, I headed into my main small living room. If you could even call it a 'living room'.. I headed towards the coffee machine, setting up the ingredients and such, and letting it do it's magic. In the mean time, I decided to check my computer. I sat down onto the chair in-front of the computer. I started to check my multiple social accounts, since I had quite a few.
"Nothing new. The world has gotten boring lately." I say outloud to no one. I talked to myself a lot, and it wasn't unusual if you knew me. Yet, no one knew me. Only friend I had was the one who recently passed away.
I look at a picture on the computer desk, it in a wooden frame. It was me and him.
"Jared.." I whisper the words, feeling a bit of sadness, yet I got used to it quickly.. I'm not heartless, no.. I just know how to deal with depression easily. I can get through things easily.
After the few minutes of browsing the interwebs, I decided that I would get up and pour myself a drink of coffee, it now being done. I head over, pull out a cup, and pour myself a cup of coffee. Nothing has changed in my life. Am I running in circles? Repeating the same steps over and over..? I start to think about this as I look into the living room sipping my coffee idly.
What has my life meant? It hasn't changed anyone's lives.. Well, maybe Jareds.. Maybe Harridsons.. But is that really it?
I look at the time, thinking i'm about to be late for work. I take a glance at the calander and realize it's my day off. God, it felt good to finally have a day off. No, not because its tiring.. It's just boring at work. Not a whole lot of customers come in. I finished my cup of coffee and set it down next to the kitchen sink.
"What should I do next..?" I ponder. I didn't really have anything else to do but watch T.V, and play my steam games.. Yet, I think i'm starting to get bored of just relaxing and doing nothing.. That's what I did when I was a child, sit, and watch T.V and play games. I missed tons of opportunities. I'm thinking of buying a house soon, before it becomes too late and I spend my savings on something else like a flat screen T.V. I'm also thinking about getting a house loan.
I know, big step from an apartment. But that's what you have to do. Take big steps in life. You can't just let it pass by and expect to do it later, when it could be done right away.. Oh, did I mention that I'm impatient sometimes?
Now that i'm awake from the coffee, I go to the couch, sit down, and turn the small T.V on. I decided to check on the news.
"Weather forecast predicts that it will be very sunny today, with degree's hitting up to 70-80!" I switch the channel. That's all I needed to know from the news channel, since the rest of it was just boring things like car accidents.
I switched to a channel about 'building a better life'..
"Like that'd ever happen." I mumble to myself.
Suddenly, my apartment started to shake. It shook violently, light phasing through the windows brightly.
"What the hell?!" I yell, and I quickly take a look outside. All I saw was pure white, nothing else. I stopped looking at it since it was literally blinding me. I didn't know what was going on, so I stepped back slowly.
I was the only one in my apartment building, so no one else would be able to see this. I looked outside once again, looking down the sides. The other buildings were gone. It was just my building.
Then, I got the feeling that I was falling. As I looked outside still, my feeling was correct.
I was falling.
My building was falling.
It was night-time, and I went through the clouds. The place was illuminated below with lights, and it looked to be a mountain that I was heading for.
Nuh-uh. I took safety lessons pretty seriously, and I went into my bedroom, about to duck under the bed. But before I make it to the bed, the whole building crashes into what seemed to be the mountain. The whole building was crushed, and I was knocked out by debris that hit me.
Everyone has been asking for so long. "Mr. Leo, is it true that you were sent to Equestria?"
It was supposed to just be a kids show.. Supposed to be for entertainment.
Yet, why me? Why me out of everyone in the world? Why was I sent there, ME? I don't understand.. And i'm not sure the world understands yet either.. I don't think they will at all.
High tech corporations are working on how to create a portal there.. All in the U.S.. They want to restore happiness to the world, with the power of Equestria. But it would fail, I can just tell.. They'd make Equestria a horrible, unsafe place. I need to do something about that. I need to.
But before I go into anymore detail about what's going on here, i'll tell you some simple information so you can get to know me.
My name is Leo. I'm 23.. Pretty young, and I work at a simple diner.. There's not much in my life.
When I was two, my parents and I were taking a trip across the pacific by plane.. We crashed. They said it was a miracle that I was alive. Only two other people were alive on that plane. Me, and one of the Pilots.
The pilot, his name being Harridson, took care of me. He said that him and I were lucky enough to have survive, and since practically I had no one left, he adopted me. Honestly, I think he did his best..
My life has been hectic lately though, since I am living in a small apartment, and I haven't been getting payed much since the customers aren't coming as often.. I think I need a new job. But, I am trying my best. Harridson has lended me money once in awhile, and it's helped a lot.
Now, I think you're getting to understand my question. Why was I chosen to go to Equestria? Why not another person, a businessman, why not even a World Leader? Was that just because I was picked randomly? No.. No, there had to be a reason. Life wasn't intended on this.
But I think it's time to tell everyone. To tell everyone if it's true. If it's actually what happened, and what directly happened there. To some, its just a kids show. But to others. To me. It isn't.
This is my story.
