PaP: The last pony of Europe
Chapter 3. Tercer day
Previous ChapterYesterday was my birthday, and I totally forgot. So to celebrate I have raided the pastry shop. The pastries were already dry and the bread was hard as a rock, but I celebrated with what I have.
This is not my first birthday that I celebrate alone, when I was 13 no one came to my party and that traumatized me a bit. At least my family was there….
After my breakfast / birthday today I went to the supermarket in my neighborhood for the first time. And as I fear the smell is horrendous. It's only been 3 days and the meat and fish are already starting to rot. I've gone through the rest of the food and the dairy and veggies are on their way to going bad too.
I have realized one thing, how am I going to transport the food to my house? Easy, a cart. One of the charms of València is that although it is a large city, you only have to walk for 2 minutes outside the city to find rural surroundings. And it turns out that I live right on the northern edge of town, where horses are still used for horse riding and horse pull competitions.
I just have to sneak into one of the country houses and steal a cart and harnesses. It will be easy.
An hour, an hour just to be able to sneak into the building and a half to be able to open the door from the inside. I have had to push cars that were parked nearby to jump over the fence and then slam the door down to enter the house as such. But I found what I was looking for, an old two-wheeled draft wagon with its straps. The cart was close to the stables, where there were 3 horses. They looked at me strangely and if they weren't animals I'd say even surprised.
After loading the cart with everything I could find that could be used to care for an equine (me in this case) and eating hay (which is not bad at all) I released the horses and released them in the city. I couldn't leave them there alone, they would have starved.
Now that I think about it, if this Phenomenon is worldwide right now there are millions of farm animals (pigs, cows, sheep, chickens) trapped. Many, many will die. But only in the next few months, not like before when we killed millions a day to supply the butchers. How long will it take to see wild pigs and dairy cows eating my lettuces? I hope that they start appearing soon, better a easy prey for the wild dogs.
I have parked the cart at the entrance of the block of buildings where my house is, under a metal roof next to the entrance. Now I am collecting plastic bags and I am going to do the shopping.
I'm back from shopping and it hasn't been very hopeful. There is less canned food than I thought and I had to go to another supermarket to fill the car, and I have also taken cans of water. It was difficult for me to carry the cart with all the weight, especially when it started to drizzle and the ground started to slip.
One really cool thing that I have realized while putting on and taking off the harness is that I can use the wings as arms, more or less. And if I bend my hooves in a certain way, I can pick things up. Will my body and brain settle into my new body? I don't know but keeping some manual capacity will help me a lot to make things.
I forgot to say it before but Lucario has accompanied me everywhere. When I was human, he didn't pay much attention to me, he only obeyed my older sister, but now he doesn't detach from me. As a reward for his loyalty, I have picked up dog food and treats from the supermarket.
It's 5 in the afternoon, I'm going to have a canned pineapple for a snack and take a nap, which i think I've earned with my hard work.
O Deu o Deu, the Internet still works! I had just gotten up from a nap and without much thought I sat at the computer and accidentally hit the Google search engine and it works! Very slow as when we stole the internet from our neighbor in 2006 but it works! I'm going to spend the rest of the day looking for activity on the networks. There is no way I am the only one left. There must be someone.
In another vein, I no longer have running water and there is a fire in the Serra of the Calderona. It seems small but it could become dangerous if I don't do something. And I can't do anything .
It's weird. Now that I think about it the only cars I've seen are those that are parked, there aren't any in the middle of the road. And if people suddenly disappeared as I thought had happened, there would be small fires everywhere, many people would have left the fire burning while they disappeared or the industrial zone would have to make a huge smoke.
It is like if something or someone has tried to stop the world from burning. I don't understand, well, I don't understand anything but this is something morethat I don't understand. What happened, why is there no one? Why am I a green horse with wings?
Why I'm alone… ..
Damn, it's getting late and the antidepressants are starting to stop working, tomorrow I'm going to double the dose. I can't afford to be sad, I have to survive.
I'm going to close today's post but before I am going to put a link to a song that I like a lot, maybe so whoever reads this in the future will be able to get to know me better. This song just came out a few months ago and is from one of my favorite bands . Then I will try to download it on my mobile just in case the internet dies.
Bona nit
