PaP: The last pony of Europe

Hello, Kiwi here.

Today I learned how uncomfortable it is to sleep with wings, in the end I had to get like a dog on the sofa in my living room to get some sleep. Although I am surprised that I managed to get some sleep, especially looking at the situation in which I find myself.

To start the day, I have started rereading a novel. Yes, it seems weird but it makes sense, let me explain. The novel is titled Mecanoscrit del Segon Origen and is about a boy and a teenager surviving the end of the world after an alien attack that kills almost the entire population. I don't know if what I am living in my flesh is also an alien attack or a cosmic event, but the novel can give me advice on how to survive.

The first thing is to get food, water and a roof.

Food is not going to be a problem, I am a horse and I can eat grass, but I will try not to get to that. First there is the food from the supermarkets. I'm going to assume that I can't eat meat anymore so I don't have to worry about meat rotting away as wasted food. Fruits and vegetables will rot if I don't keep them in some way. I can try to take all the perishable food from the supermarket to the cold storage but I don't know when the electricity will go out and stop working. I have to get generators and I think I know where there could be.

I think I forgot something ... yeah! Canned food! Food problem fixed. If I can use a can opener without hands, of course. But I also don't want to never eat fresh food again, I have to learn to produce something. I can eat from the orchards near my house, where melons, artichokes, cabbages, potatoes, onions and oranges grow .But I don't know how to grow those crops efficiently so that food source will run out too. Let's mark this problem as almost solved.

Next problem, water. There will be thousands of liters of bottled water all over the city so that's all. In the end I'm going to have to give thanks to the capitalist trick that made us buy bottled water with the tap water 100 times cheaper And to bathe or clean things I can use the orchard irrigation systems. That water comes from wells and from the Turia river, so it will not run out.

Last ,roof. Right now I'm in my house, an attic on the seventh floor of an apartment block, with a large terrace and views of the sea , the city and the mountains. The main problem is that I am on the seventh floor and the elevators will stop working soon so as much as it hurts I have to find another place to live. I don't have to move now, but it's something I'm going to have to do.

The simple thing would be to look for a two-story single-family house with a garage and storage but it is not that easy. And why is it not so simple, you ask? Two words, Gota Freda. If you do not understand what those two words mean in my language (after doing this I will copy and translate the text into English and Spanish, so that if someone finds it, it will be easier for them to read it or decipher what it says, like the stone Rosetta) La Gota Freda is a period of torrential rains on the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula. It usually happens between October and November and leaves the city flooded. Living in a river plain by the sea with a river and a freshwater lake next to it has its disadvantages.

As you will understand, a first floor is not a good idea to live in. What I could do is keep living in my house but store my food on the second floor, so I have to climb fewer stairs. Or i could also learn to fly. Hahahahaha, as if that was going to happen.

With those three problems solved I can move on to other less important things.

I have talked about electricity before, I can get generators from the construction machinery in front of my house. If those hulks can power a crane, they can power my computer. For now there is still electricity in the electrical grid but when the fuel is out in the thermal power plants and the solar power plants break due to lack of maintenance…. O mare meua, I just remembered something and I don't know if it's good or bad. It is really very bad that I am going to fool myself. Nuclear power plants. With no one at the helm, each and every one of them will become a Chernobyl. Fuck fuck fuck, this is bad. The nearest nuclear power plant is Cofrents and it is only 100 kilometers away if the map does not fool me.

I'm so screwed. I'm going to finish this and go eat my last ice cream. then I continue.

Hello, 3 hours have passed and after an ice cream, two withered bananas and a nap I realized that I am an idiot. Well, I already knew but I confirmed it again. The nuclear power plants have a cascoporro of security systems, I am not going to die mutated into a monster. Well, technically I already am, but you know what I mean. As much as I like Fallout I'm glad my end of the world is not one with radiation.

One thing I have come to realize is that I need a weapon. Even if there is no one left in the city who can attack me to rob me, kill me or worse, there are still dangers. The dogs are going to go wild and in a few months they will run out of cats, rabbits or garbage to eat easily. And I will be a desirable prey and i don't want to think about the zoo animals.. I cannot count on Lucario to defend me, he is a small and old dog, he has hardly any teeth left and I am sure that if it weren't for me he would starve to death or be eaten by other dogs.

A firearm is out of the equation for three things.

First, here the only ones who have guns are the police and the hunters, we are not like in the USA that it is easier for a teenager to buy an automatic rifle than a beer. I wonder who would have won the election, the old pedophile rapist number one or the old pedophile rapist number two? I'll never know, and I'm glad.

Second reason, I have no fingers, easy and simple. Third and most important reason, I have a panic about firearms. I can see them on TV, in a video game or a book, but having them close to me physically gives me rejection and terrible nausea. Having the power to end the lives of others in such an easy, simple and safe way disgusts me. I know that all weapons are used for that but swords, bows and other weapons give you time to think about what you are doing, about the fact that you are going to kill someone.

I'm going to put my principles aside and think about it. In my house I have a sword. It is made of steel and I could use it with my mouth but it is not sharp, it is only for decoration and traditional parties . I could build a spear with a knife and a broomstick.

My mouth is dry from talking so much and it's almost 12 at night, I'm going to finish for today.

Kiwi out.
