My Little Humans

My name is Daniel Green; I live in a common neighborhood and common street, but unfortunately along with a hopeless town. I was trying to get home from high school. It was raining, and I was cautious, I was hoping that these bullies I know didn't see me. A year ago I got into this show that one of my friends over the web showed me, call My Little Pony: Friendship is magic, and that’s basically where it all started.

I thought it was pretty weird at first to see a fan base of teenagers and grown men watching a show for little girls, but before I knew it I was so into it. I made some memes, chatted with other bronies on forums, read some fan-fics, but I always kept it a secret, I didn't want anybody else knowing that I watched it, because it would probably ruin my life. One day, I was in the library studying for a test. Once I finished I went over to the computer (like and idiot) to look up to see if there was a new episode of MLP, and apparently this kid named Alex and his other friends from my school saw me and started taking pictures without me noticing. Like a BIGGER idiot, I kept looking up pony memes, and they took even MORE pictures. My mom called me to come home and that’s when I turned and saw them rushing out the door. I didn't know who they were yet, so I forgot about it and went home for supper. The next day, when I went on to the bus, I was mocked and punched. Those kids I saw at the library posted the pictures all up on Facebook, and it quickly got a lot of attention. Throughout the whole bus ride everyone was making fun of me, calling me a pervert, a creep, a geek, and a loser. During school they threw thing at me, attempt to fight me, and someone nailed me in the face once, just because I was a brony.

It pretty much went on like that for the rest of the year. I had to stop taking the bus to avoid any violence of being beaten up, so I made my own root to get to school and get home.

It’s been over a year now, and I’m still being made fun of. My mom is aware of all this and she actually thinks I’m gay just because I like a T.V show. It depresses me to think; even my own mother is against me. Half of the people who make fun of me haven’t even seen it, so where’s their right to judge me?

Some people over the internet feel my pain, and they’re many others like me. But even so, I still feel very alone, but when I watch the show, I feel that some of the sadness is taken away from me, and that makes me feel great. But other people just don’t understand that, and they mock me for my opinion. It puts me to shame.

But that all changed one day, the most extraordinary thing happened, and you’re about find out.

I was, again in the beginning, going home from school by taking my secret root. I was trying to be as careful as I can not to be seen by anyone who harassed me. My root basically involves going behind a bush, sneaking into a sewage drainage pipe, exiting and climbing out and over a fence covered by a green tarp, and proceed to quietly make my way towards my house. I just jumped into the drainage pipe, but to my horror, Alex, and his other thug friend was sitting there, waiting for me. I tried to go back from the way I came, but his other friends blocked my way of escape. I was trapped. “Just let me go home!” I pleaded, “I’ve done nothing wrong, just let me go home!” He stood up and looked at me, laughing at me. “Not yet! We’re going to have some fun with you, stick around!” he said with a discomforting grin. His friend behind him was holding a baseball bat and gave it to him. “We’re going to play baseball” he said “And maybe you brony faggots will finally leave our school alone” He came towards me about to swing; when behind us 2 police men from our school came to find out what was going on.

“Hey! Who are you! Get out of there!” one said as they were charging towards us. We all scattered, and took different directions around the sewer. I ran in different directions in 3 different sewer ways hoping I could shake them. After ten minutes, I finally lost them. Unfortunately, for me, though, Alex followed me, with his bat still in hand. “You little snitch, you knew about the police men, didn’t you? You set me up!”

I was walked back a couple of steps, and look behind me to see a pool of water, 8 feet deep, by the looks of it. I turned back to confront Alex. “I didn’t call the cops, honest man!” I yelled at him, my eyes filled with mercy, “I didn't know they followed me! You should have just leaved me alone!” Alex angry, his face red with fury and his eyes filled with hate, “The cops said one more slip up, and they’ll throw me in the joint” “I’m not going to jail for nothing.” He lunged at me, and swung his bat. I grabbed it and yanked him off of me, he collapsed on the ground, I got up to run away, but he grabbed me by the leg and lunged at me again. He flipped me over and jumped on my chest, repeatedly punching me in the face until it was covered in blood. He picked me up and brought me to the pool of water. He looked at me with an eerie smile, “Come on, Danny, we’re going for a little swim.” With no haste, he pushed me in and jumped in himself, I tried with all my might but he was too strong, he was attempting to drown me. “Help!” I chanted louder and louder, hoping that somebody would hear my cry, “HELP ME, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY!” He laughed with the most devious smile “Ha! No one can save you, you’re…..” just then he stopped, dead silence, he didn't say anything. I was wondering why, and I looked down myself…and there it was, a bright light, brighter than the heavens… and it was coming towards us.

“What the hell is that!” he screamed as he let go of me, “What is that Daniel!?!” he grabbed me by my shirt, “What is it!?!” he asked again, with an even more terrified look on his face. “I don’t know!” I said. We started swimming towards the way out, but the pool started spinning like a whirl pool, we were being sucked into it. Alex started screaming, he didn't know what to do, and continued just to grab on me, making it even more difficult for the both of us to do anything actually. We started being sucked into the whirl pool, deeper and deeper, and we got even closer to the light. The light came closer, and closer, and it touched me, that’s when I saw Alex pass out. I saw Alex going into the light, slower and slower until he completely vanished. I was so shocked by this I didn't have any breathe, and I passed out to. I had my final glimpse of the real world, because this one was going to blow my mind.
