1. Awakening in a Familiar Place

This is a Human in Equestria Story. This is one that you could put yourself into. I hope you enjoy the comedy. Don’t think that I laugh at death, because I don’t.

Life has a way of throwing obstacles in your way that you do not want. I have that feeling all the time, but not as much as I did today. I will tell you from the beginning so you will be caught up with how I feel right now. I’ll give you a hint, what happened is kind of ironic. Well, story time.

Well it was an unusually warm Monday morning in February. I live up in New York and we have had so little snow that it isn’t funny anymore; well yes it is actually because it’s Mother Nature telling us that we screwed up somewhere. Back to the plot;

I got up at 6am as I always do and got ready to leave for school. I left my house and walked up the deserted streets of my town. I had a few spare dollars in my pocket and I walked to a nearby convenience store to get something warm to drink.

I walked through the door of the store and the old lady gave me a funny look. She had a lazy eye, but it didn’t substitute for her calling me a ‘rotten teen’. I walked over to where the warm drinks were located and started pouring some cappuccino into a cup.

I dazed off while pouring the drink and began to think of what I did over the weekend that I could tell my few friends at school. It was all MLP related.

On a side note I am a brony; I watch the show and like almost every character. I write stories on a website called Fimfiction about the characters. If I were to go into school and say that I watched MLP I would probably get punched repeatedly and then laughed out of school. Shocking isn’t it? Anyways back to the story.

I didn’t realize the drink was almost overflowing until it was too late. The scorching hot beverage spilled over the sides and covered my hand. I was caught off guard by it and screamed ‘OH BUCK’. The creepy lady was behind the sandwich rack and she looked over the top and gave me another angry look, then she laughed like a witch and went back to work behind the counter.

I looked over to where she was and said to myself ‘I wish Big Macintosh would come fix that eye for you by stomping it repeatedly with his hoof.’ I purposely wiped my hand on the counter to make her have to clean up the cappuccino from my hand. ‘HA serves you right for calling me a rotten teen and laughing at my pain you witch.’

I put a lid on the drink and walked over to the counter and put the 2 dollars for the drink on the counter. The old lady walked over grabbed my money with a wrinkly hand and then walked back off into the back recesses of the store. ‘Maybe she lives back there like some crazy old ratlady or something.’ I smiled at the thought and walked out the door of the convenience store. I heard a loud noise coming towards me and I set my drink on the ledge under the window of the store.

The sound was getting louder. It sounded like a big semi was heading my way, but I couldn’t see anything. It was foggy that morning. I looked around once more and that’s when I saw it, a large semi was barreling towards me.

I watched it in amazement. The cab was on fire and the truck was literally heading right for me. I stood there motionless. I wasn’t scared or anything just shocked; usually you never see a flaming semi rolling right towards you at 80mph.

I watched as it got nearer and nearer. I couldn’t get out of the way if I tried, it was moving too fast. I stood there watching it get closer. ‘My mom is going to be so pissed that I won’t be around for dinner tonight.’

Then it hit me like a brick wall, the truck I mean. I was sent through the air, still conscious mind you right straight back into the convenience store. The ironic thing about it all is that the semi was a Mack. I know that because I watched as the grill hit me. I flew straight through the window of the door, shattering it. Ha, even more work for the crazy lady working here now.

I landed on the ground in the center of the store; I managed to knock a few isles down with me as I flew through them. I was on the ground, still conscious and I thought about what I said earlier under my breath to the old lady. I’m sorry old lady; you truly are a force to be reckoned with; forcing a large automobile to send me flying through your store. I smiled through the searing pain all over my body.

As I laid there I could feel something warm start to cover my back and legs. Oh god, please tell me I didn’t piss my pants. Turns out I didn’t wet my trousers and it was just blood. Oh that’s good, I didn’t want to look like a jokester for when the paramedics come to take away my corpse.

The pain started to ebb away and turn into a dull thud of pure agony, nothing special. A few minutes after the new found pain entered my body I started to lose my sense of sight. Aww man I wanted to see the paramedic’s face and ask him if I looked school ready.

I laid there in a pool of my own blood listening to the crummy music that was playing through the speakers. Today just must have been one of those days. You know the ones that just want to kill you in the end. I now am having one of those days. I knew I was going to die, I just came to laugh in the face of it because I had accepted it from when the Mack truck threw me through a convenience store. I laid there, my sight, smell, taste and everything else except for my hearing all gone. It was kind of peaceful once you get past the horrible music and crowd of people standing over you and screaming at you to do something.

Now back to where I am now. Ironic right? Who would have thought that I was going to die from something that had the same name as a character I wanted to hurt the old lady. I felt as if I was flying through a void of nothing, only I couldn’t see anything, like my eyes didn’t work for some reason. Oh well, what are you going to do?

As I flew through the void of nothing I began to contemplate where I was going or if I was going anywhere. Am I going to heaven? Or Hell? Or am I going to just fly around in this endless void forever? I think I would rather continue being here or go to heaven than go to hell.

I started to then think of a fic I read then. It was called ‘cupcakes’. Pinky Pie drugged rainbow dash and then proceeded to slowly kill her for her special ingredient for her cupcakes. I loved that story in my opinion and thought of it as one of the best fics I read, it was right behind ‘My Little Dashie’. But I started to think I wonder if Rainbow Dash had this exact same feeling after she died?

When you die you start to get a grasp on a lot of things that you couldn’t before. That and you have so much free time that you need to think of things so you won’t go insane from boredom. I was there humming and singing songs that I heard from the internet and thinking of what my parents must be doing, or THINKING for that matter. I am a little scared just thinking about that topic myself. I started to feel a little different after that, like some energy was being given back to me, or whatever I am now, if anything.

It felt a little weird; I was starting to hear birds chirping. I don’t know what’s happening but it sure is more entertaining than what I was doing before. I could smell things as well, I smelled grass and leaves and summertime smells in general. It smelled good. I also got back my ability to talk, but I didn’t use that ability because I was still surrounded by emptiness. I used to make fun of my friend about this, but since I died I have felt nothing but Forever Alone.

After a few more minutes I began to get a little sight back, it was really fuzzy but it was better than nothing. I had also managed to deduce that I was not flying anymore, but I was lying on the ground somewhere. Maybe I’ll wake up to the crazy old ratlady looking at me! Ha, fat chance for that. I tried to look around but it was no use, all I could do was look up into what looked to be the leaves of a tree.

I laid there for a good hour not doing anything or thinking of anything except where the heck I am. Heaven? Possibly. Purgatory? I don’t even know what that place looks like. Hell? Nope, too colorful for that. Is there anywhere else you go when you die? Maybe. Now I wish I paid attention in global history class, maybe I went to another religions heaven or hell.

Then all of the feeling came back to me, everything. I sat up and took a deep breath, then stopped breathing entirely. I looked around me everything was so vibrant and full of color. This does not look like any heaven or hell I ever heard about. I continued to look around with the ‘deer in the headlights’ look.

My mind had gone into overdrive and was thinking of all of the possibilities of where I am.
1. Christianity’s heaven (Getting less likely)
2. Christianity’s hell (No chance of that)
3. Any other religion’s heaven or hell ( I don’t think so)
4. ?????? (Leaning towards this one)

I got my focus back from my brain and tried to get my surroundings. I was near a road. That was about all I could get out of it. I stood up and took the northern direction the road leaded. I walked and walked, it felt good though. I loved to walk.

After walking for about fifteen more minutes I almost fell over on the ground from what I saw. In the distance I saw what looked to be Canterlot from MLP. (My brain had practically went into sleep mode after seeing this) I continued my walk towards the city on the mountainside, but I walked closer to the tree line. If anypony saw me would be in a world of trouble, which is if this truly is the land of Equestria.

I didn’t know that I had gotten so close to the borders of the city until I bumped into what I didn’t want to see. At first I thought it was just a misshapen tree stump, but when it turned around that idea flew out the window. “Uh Oh” I said in a whisper.

In front of me was a Canterlot guard. He looked at me with a mixture of confusion and anger. If I wasn’t so terrified by him I would try to hug him, just saying.

Apparently he read my thoughts because I didn’t have any time to guard my face from the hoof that hit me straight in the nose.

“OW” was all I said before I fell on the ground KO’d.

Well let’s get ready for round two of my series of unfortunate events. Next stop jail. (YAY!!!)
