The time is 9:30 PM in Austin Texas, everyone is at the clubs, playing games, or doing various things, but this one guy was sitting in the middle of a small, very poor, apartment on the bad side of town.
This man was Leon, he has had the worst stream of bad luck anyone has ever seen, all he was doing was looking out the window at a couple of street punks chatting near his building. He asked.
"Why do we live? All we are is dust in the universe, people try to make our lives mean something, but the truth is that they will account for nothing. In 13 trillion years our universe will be destroyed, and everything we've worked for will be all for not. So, for anyone listening, what's the purpose of my life? Why should I live on?"
There was nothing but silence, "That's what I thought. Good bye cruel universe." He got out of the chair and headed to the bathroom, he closed the door, and there was a faint sound of running water.
A couple seconds later, in the middle of the room, appeared a blue portal, it was swirling with blue and white, quite elegant in fact. The beings that stepped through were, well the norm for Fimfiction.
Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor. Shining Armor was wearing his traditional purple armor. They looked around the baron, decrepit apartment, Cadence asked.
"How could anything live like this?"
Shining Armor replied, “I’ve lived in some really bad places, but this’s nothing I’ve seen.” They heard a splash behind the closed door, they walked up to the door and listened.
They heard nothing, Celestia said, "Well, what is it?"
"I have no idea?" Replied Shining Armor, he placed his head against the door again, and to his surprise it creaked open, what they saw wasn't anything they expected.
They saw a human with his head inside a bath, it wasn't coming up for air, and the bubbles were getting fewer and farther between. So Luna got behind him and pulled him up, he gasped, and said with his eyes closed the whole time.
"I don't care what you rob, just let me die, just take it all. I don't give a rat's ass." He dunked his head back in, Luna rolled her eyes and pulled him up AGAIN.
This time he said, "Okay what's wrong with you, just let me-" He looked at the four ponies in the room, "Oh my holy freaking stupid crap! What the hell are you all, wait check that, if you're here to kill me, then make it quick, or let me continue where I left off."
Celestia replied, "We're here just to see the human world, it's been a long while, but we mean you no harm, so why are you doing this."
"I left a suicide note on the bedpost." He tried to dunk his head again, but it hit the bath tub floor with a loud thud, "Ow, that ****ing hurt. Argh, oh wow, the pain." He was rubbing his forehead. Turns out Luna drained the tub as he was talking.
"We most likely can't read what you wrote, you know, different race." Said Luna.
"Right, didn't think of that, well, first of all I lost my part-time job, my girlfriend left me for a rich guy. My roommate left because it was too pricey, I also had to move, but I had to go here since my parents aren't gonna support a worthless person. And because I misfiled one thing, I have to pay my college over 20,000 dollars. And the IRS is making me pay almost 100,000 dollars for whatever reason.
So ya, what else am I supposed to do?"
He got up and walked out of the bathroom, he grabbed a noose and proceeded to the large beam overhead.
He strung up the noose, everypony didn't know if they should talk him out, or just let him find peace. He slipped into the noose, Cadence blurred out, "Wait! What if you came to live in Equestria?"
They all looked at her, "I'm a human, I'd be mocked and looked down upon, metaphorically from what I'm seeing."
"Well, what if we made you into a pony?"
"Aw hell no, I might be trying to die, but I'll always be human, there's no questions there."
Luna replied, "Well, a human could work, there's many species on Equestria, our homeland, so a human wouldn't be that big. I think."
"Sigh, none of you will let this go will you?" they shook their heads no, "Well, I'm gonna try one last thing."
"What is it?" Asked Shining.
Leon kicked the small chair under him making him fall a bit, staying up by his neck, he was hanging there, barely struggling, everypony was almost in shock.
Celestia used her magic and cut the rope, he fell on the floor with a loud thud, he barely replied, "Well.. It was worth.. A... Shot." He slowly go up with Luna's help, once he got to his feet he continued, "Alright, I'll go to Equestria, I mean, I have nothing to lose right?" Nopony replied, "Wow, no answer, not even a no? Wow."
"If you're gonna be a dick then don't bother coming." Said Celestia.
"Sigh, I tried to kill myself 2 times today, and both times I failed. So I think I'm entitled to be grumpy."
"Fair enough. But you realize what kind of an opportunity this is right."
"Wait, this's like a sign to keep going, heh, god you ol' so and so." He looked up at the sky.
"Who's god?" Asked Luna.
"Um, long story. I gotta pack somethings, but go on ahead. I'll be right behind all of you."
"Alright, but if you try suicide once again we'll drag you here." Said Luna.
"Relax, I'm not gonna do that, right now anyway."
They slowly walked through the portal making sure Leon didn't do anything. He grabbed a couple of torn shirts, some pants, and various other clothes.
He looked at the window and said, "Well, better late than never god. Still, thanks, I think." He slipped the backpack on and walked through the portal, not even looking back at the torn up room.
He never came back to Earth, and he lived a very... Interesting few years before. Oh wait, no spoilers.
Author's Note
Didn’t much care about writing this, was kind of boring. Sorry for the lateness, but I just didn't want to write it.
Maybe I'll write the next part, but honestly, that's just the only way I could end the short, short story. Thanks for reading and thank you all for 25, or now, 33 followers, I never thought I would get this big, but I'm so happy for it. Thank you, and have a great day.
