What's amnesia?
Chapter 2, Mapping out a plan.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was discharged that day by a colt with green hair, that weird green, not the bright vibrant one. He constantly glanced around and kept grumbling about watching loons and crazy ponies. I wasn't offended. He must've been referring to the patient next door to me. I thought about her, nice mare. We always had good conversations, but each night, around three a.m. I hear wolves howling in her room. Whenever they check on her there isn't a wolf to be found. I think it's her. No one else does. Heck, they think I'm the crazy guy. "There we go. All your paperwork is filled out, you can leave." He said gruffly.
"My pleasure!" I yelled back happily as I raced through the double doors.
The sunlight was amazing! It was much warmer than the hospital, much brighter too. This wasn't my first time in the wondrous light of the sun. I've been in the sun most of my life, you just don't realize that you can miss the little things In life.
Alright let's get serious, I need a good solid plan for what's next. A job? Sure, why not. I'll need money, plus I could learn some new things.Just to forget about it tomorrow for a random period of time. I Thought to myself.
Where would editorials...editorials? What were those again. I'll just have to look up jobs in the local newspaper.
"Are you going to leave sir, or will you just stand there?" A voice said behind me. I whipped my head around to the speaker, appalled at what he said. To my surprise, I was still in the doorway. "Just thinking about where newspapers can be found." I replied. "Try the market." He grumbled back, shutting the door. I started on my way before realizing. What's a market? Isn't that a colored pen? I was still walking along as I was thinking this and bumped into a yellow pegasus. She and I yelped in surprise and she dropped a large box full of strange supplies, dog food, bird feed. Even reptile pellets! Does she work at the zoo? Zoo, that's a fun word. Still, all of it spilled to the ground in a big heaping mess. "I am so sorry ma'am, it's my fault. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." I replied quickly. "That's okay, it's my fault." She replied quietly as she cleaned up the mess. I started to help her clean it up and replied, "It's not your fault. If you sued for this, my end of the case would only support the fact that its my fault. Yours would too." She then looked at me funny, I read alot of mystery novels in the hospital. He Thanked me, and was on her marry way. "Ma'am, do you know of any job offerings available in town." I yelled to her. She turned her head back in reply, she said something. Must've been too quiet to hear. I then walked to the nearest pony and asked him, "Where can I get a newspaper?" The colt looked at me funny and inquired if I was new in town. I told him I wasn't. This earned me an even stranger look than before. He pointed off towards a bunch of open shops in an alley. "So, That's a market!." I shouted.
"Thanks mister." I said as I shook his hand. The guy still let staring at me funny. Now that I think of it, a lot of people have been looking at me funny today. Do I look funny? No, I'm pretty sure I'm incredibly handsome. They're probably not used to seeing a man as beautiful as me.
As I pondered this, I almost nearly tripped over a stand. The owner yelled at me, but I was lost in thought. Then I saw the paper, grabbed it, and read it. "Hey, that'll cost a few bits." A colt exclaimed. Alright, let's smooth talk this. Silver tongue. "I'm just reading it for job listings!" I nervously stammered. I'm terrible under pressure. "Banana Hammock!" I shouted running away. "Weirdo." The colt replied. Awesome, it worked. I guess I can read and speak. I usually ended saying aloud what I was reading most of the time. Now if I remember right, "Great organizer needed, must be able to sweep, dust and know how to remove ink stains. Go to Ponyville's local library and ask for Twilight Sparkle." I spun around, looking for a library. I asked a passing mare, "So you know where the local library is?" She pointed off to a tree, and continued in her way. A tree, really? That can't be a library. As I walked towards it I realized all the home like features jutting out of the tree. I knocked on the door, and a small purple reptile opened the door. "Are you Twilight Sparkle?" I asked. He responded, "No." Then shut the door. I heard yelling, a female. The door reopened, this time a mare was there to greet me. "Are you Twilight Sparkle?" I asked again. "Yes, are you here for the job opening?" She responded. "Why yes, yes I am." I proudly stated. She then noticed my horn and inquired, "Do you know any spells?" I balked as she said this, "Uh...No, I'm not too sure actually."
