The chaos of man
Chapter 1
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSo I was just laying awake in my bed one night and listening to a green day song and reading a story on fimfiction. I started to get tired it was 2:34 am and I said to myself " yep time to sleep now" so I put my iPod in its speaker and put the music on quietly and slowly drifted into a dreamless sleep. When I woke up I was in a field that was a vibrant green and to my left was a forest about 50 meters away, the forest was dark and had a foreboding air about it. To my right was a small town. In front of me a little ways away was a small cottage
The first thing I thought when I woke up was "where the hell is my iPhone?" the next thought to come to my mind was "when did I get dressed?" really my mind was just trying to ignore the "elephant in the room" but eventually the obvious won out and I started to asses my situation. "so a scary dark forest and a town" I began to mumble to myself quietly "well I guess I'll just start heading to that cottage after all I could be anywhere" then a laughed to myself "ha even ponyville!" after that I found out that I had an excruciating headache.
After a minute of walking I looked at the cottage again and I thought" wait a second, this is fluttershy's cottage!" then guess who came down the walkway? Fluttershy, I thought to myself for a second about what happened then the shyest pony in equestria went up and talked to me. "hello little creature are you lost?" I then replied " I'm not sure." she was surprised to hear me speak and then asked "what are you?" I then replied "I'm a human and I'll bet you're next question would be how did I get here and that I do not know myself." Then she said I should go into town and see what's around. I guessed why she wasn't shy around me was because in this world I guess I am technically an animal in this world and I quickly dismissed the question. It was a little bit of a walk and I let my mind wander to my world (background time!)
I'm a high school sophomore and overall life was pretty good. I can be insane but only when I need to be. I'm a pacifist to an extent.I really don't like anyone to be upset, for any reason. I see some fit reasons for fighting and most of those are defense. Not just self defense though. I'm a good advisor but not really a good leader. I get stressed at all the bullshit that society feeds down our throats and that real conflict and drama is all encouraged and we are told to exaggerate what is deemed necessary for things.(back to the story!)
I thought about how everyone is so unhappy on earth. I looked at all the smiling faces around me and I felt like maybe equestria is a utopian society. I was in town for about five minuets until I ran into twilight. She is my favorite pony on the show, luckily I was able to maintain a professional composure when I met her. She looked up at me and said "hello my name's twilight sparkle! Whats yours?" I then said "hello I'm Austin Butcher." she then said "are you a human? I read about them In a book once and you fit the description quite well!" "well yes I am, what did this book say about the human race though?"I responded and she said "it said that you are violent creatures without magic or wings and that you fight each other for almost no reason at all." "that is mostly true but there are some humans that do not like fighting unless someone else started it. Like me" I said then twilight pulled out a quill and a parchment to take notes.
I told her about human history, I left out nothing. After I was done she had a large volume of human history with the footnotes of my feelings about it all, by then it was around midnight. She then said "oh dear I'm sorry I kept you up so late, do you have a place to stay?" I replied "actually it's no problem at all I'm actually a insomniac anyways so it's really no problem at all, as for a place to sleep just give me a double shot of espresso and I'll be great." so she made some coffee and asked "is coffee something that most humans drink?" I replied "most can't wake up in the morning without at least a couple cups of the hyper-cafinated beverage. But the younger ones still dont like it because of its biter taste and most parents don't let them, but I actually Teethed on biscottis!" "oh well that's interesting, where your parents big coffee drinkers?" she replied and I started taking a drink of the coffee and simply nodded my head. The coffee was the best I have ever drank! It was true that earth ponies truly where the best gardeners or farmers or whatever! It was a bold blend with a hint of cinimon in the beans themselves! And the cream was truly the best you could make it was obious that the ponies took better care of their animals then we did (the ones that we don't kill) I could go on forever about the sugar they use and the caffeine was well it would kill a lesser man who was not as addicted as I was.
After I finished sipping my coffee I said jokingly " hey coffee practically runs in my blood!" she took me literally though and said " really!? That sounds painfull!" and continued to rant about how coffee blood would make live dificult, I then replied "twilight. It was a metaphor" and she kind of looked embarrassed at not realizing it sooner so I finished my drink and whent for a walk around town.
