My Wish For Peace

“Ugh.....same shit, different day... again.” A tall blonde human male said, pushing the snooze button on his blaring alarm clock as he stood up and stretched. Walking downstairs, he checked his answering machine, hearing the same telemarketer message. It always went the same way; ‘Hello Damian we would like to offer you bla, bla, bla.’ They always wanted to offer him a different health care service.

Damian has had the same routine every day; wake up, shower, get dressed and go to work. He had very few hobbies, one of which was playing music. He loved the art of music with all his heart and soul.

Damian had gotten dressed in one of his many standard suits. Picking up his keys, Damian went into his garage, opened his car door, got into the driver’s seat, and checked his pocket.

“Crap, where is my phone?!” Damian exclaimed as he looked around. “I must have left it on my bed stand.” He sighed, getting out of the car and going back to his bedroom, grabbing his phone and rushing back to his car.

Damian made the same drive to his office as always, listening to some Bon Jovi, was singing along with it. Not even caring about the stares he was getting from other drivers. He kept his smile, even though he secretly made the same wish every night, that he could go somewhere more peaceful than earth; somewhere he could truly find happiness.

He knew that was a fool’s dream, and that it would never come true but still, every night he would wish with all his heart for it. He had read in the papers that tonight there was going to be a meteor shower. Damian remembered as a kid that anytime he saw a shooting star he would make a wish.

Damian arrived at his office, parking his car in the usual spot. He walked through the front door, being greeted by his co-workers as he took the stairs up to his office. Upon arrival at his floor, he walked to his cubicle, sitting at his desk as he got to work.

The day had ended relatively quickly, for once. Damian smiled as he got back into his car and thought about what he should do for the rest of the day. It was around five in the afternoon, so he still had time to kill.

Damian smiled. He had the perfect idea. He would go home and play one of his favorite video-games: GoldenEye.

Damian made his drive as quickly as possible, seeing that dusk was coming much earlier than normal. He shrugged, thinking it must be daylight savings time or something. He was half-asleep by the time he had finally arrived at home. Pulling into the garage he turned the car off and got out. Stepping into his house and heading upstairs to change into his, as he commonly called them, ‘street clothes’ before he went into his living room.

“Now to play GoldenEye!”

Damian picked up his xbox controller and turned it on, smiling as the iconic Bond Theme started playing. He played GoldenEye for a good few hours before turning his console off.

Not knowing what to do now that he was finished, he stood up. He still had the rest of the day to himself. Normally, Damian would be hanging out with a few of his friends or even at the arcade goofing off but this was the first time he had the whole day to himself like this; the arcade was closed for maintenance and his friends were out of town.

“What to do? Hmm...” Damian looked around his house, trying to find something to entertain himself with. After a good half-hour of searching, he could find nothing.

“Hey, look at the time; it is almost time for that meteor shower!” Damian mused, wondering if he should make the wish again.

“Heh it would just be a waste of time.” Damian shook his head, laughing. “I mean come on; it is not scientifically possible for that to work. If magic was real. Then, well who knows what would happen... it would not be good, that is for sure.”

Damian was being skeptical of course, who would not be? But deep down inside himself, he believed that anything was possible. But of course, he would never say out loud that he believed magic was real; People would think he was crazy.

Three hours passed and Damian decided to take the chance to watch the meteor shower. He put a jacket on, seeing as it was relatively cold for March.

He sighed “Well, let’s see; it should start in a few minutes.” Damian said, laughing a little as he looked at the sky, seeing the same constellations he did every night.“Well this thing better start soon or I am going back inside.”

He waited a bit longer and sighed. “Nothing just like I thou-” he was cut off by the sight of a meteor. “Well would you look at that.”

Many meteors went flying across the sky, leaving white streaks that appeared for only seconds. Damian kept looking as hundreds, if not thousands, of meteors went flying through the sky. He could only imagine how many people were making wishes on the meteors hoping for cliché things such as wealth, “Well, it’s worth a shot.” Damian closed his eyes. “I wish I could live somewhere else. Somewhere I actually have a chance at happiness.” he laughed and looked around.

“Should have known it would not work.” Damian said as he went back in his house “Oh well, I guess I should get some sleep.” he said as he went upstairs, lying down on his bed he sighed again, “I guess nothing good ever happens in life.”

The cameras were rolling as a female wearing a dress stood in front of the remains of a house. She smiles at her que, “Tragedy struck in a small neighborhood as of last night. Close to the end of the meteor shower a house ignited before exploding. Authorities said they do not know what caused the explosion but in the police report it said the house belonged to a Damian Nocte. The remains of the house was searched, but no bodies were found. They believe Damian may be dead.” The woman cleared her throat, “His funeral will be held this saturday. This is Rose Noble, signing out.”

“What is it?” asked a voice, coming from something staring at Damian’s unconscious body. He was still breathing, but had second degree burns all over his body.

“Ah’ve never seen anythin’ like it on tha’ farm Twilight.” Said a southern voice. “Do ya think it’s dangerous?”

“I don’t know Applejack.” said the voice known as Twilight “Maybe we should get it to the hospital.”

“Or the vet. It’s not a pony so it has to be an animal.” A tomboyish voice said. “Or get Fluttershy.”

“No Rainbow Dash, I take Spike to the hospital all the time, and he is not a pony.” Twilight said “So I think it’s only fair that we do that for this......thing” Twilight was not sure what to call him.

“Oh yeah, that's real smart egghead, put it in a building with a bunch of sick ponies.” Rainbow Dash said “It could have some disease and infect us, all turning us into flesh-eating zomponies!”

“OK Rainbow Dash, for one; there is no such thing as zomponies, and second, we will be taking it to the hospital, whether you like it or not!” Twilight scolded her friend. “What if its life is in danger? We could save its life.”
