>One year, 3 months, and two days
>That's how long it has been since you had contact with anyone
>Since you moved deeper into the everfree next to a waterfall, nopony came near you
>The car you came in and the tech you had on you was log gone, stored in a royal archive somewhere
>All you had was what you made for yourself, and some things you stole from the townsfolk in the dead of night
>Things they wouldn't miss, like a broom, some soap, or a brush
>You were never caught because even the ponies who were concerned about security relied on spells, which always stopped working when you were around
>Coming from a world without magic made you magic resistant
>Today, you wake up to the sun rising, just as you always do
>You shuffle outside and check your traps, finding nothing. Again
>You check all the parts of the time device you made
>It was made from gear like pieces scattered everywhere, connecting to a carved wooden board that told the time, date, day of the week, and what season it was
>It had taken you until a couple months ago to finish it, and now that you had, you were back in a rut
>But today wasn't just another day of the same routine
>The last two months have worn you down, and you've finally come to the conclusion that this world isn't worth living in
>Nobody welcomed you anymore
>In fact, the last time you were in town, you were chased out by an angry mob within the hour, screaming about a monster
>One lonely man can only take so much, and that point was long past
>The only thing that kept you going was busying yourself with your invention
>But today was it
>You have had enough.
>Today, you were going to end your life
>With a sharpened manticore claw in one hand, and a stolen bottle of hard cider in the other, you head to your favorite scenic view
---
>You’re Fluttershy now
>Waking up with the sun, you take your time feeding the animals that have decided to stay
>You enjoy helping all the critters, and they seem to like being here
>Today, a weasel wanted your help
Oh, do you need me to follow you?
>The weasel nodded and started out the door
>After making sure angel had the food he wanted, you followed
>He led you to a far end of the forest, down a path you’ve seen before, but never explored
>He stopped just past the edge of a small clearing facing a cliff
Someone else needs help?
>He nods and points to a figure at the edge of the cliff
>You let out a silent gasp at what it was
>It was that… hoo man
>It threw an empty bottle off the cliff, which shattered a moment later
>It looked up at the sky and spoke
Goodbye world, you cruel bitch
>Then it positioned itself to do something that nopony in equestria had ever seen
>It was going to kill itself
>You feel a panicky feeling run through you as you watched
>The moment it moves to stab itself, you involuntarily let out a squeak
---
>You’re Anon again
>You just threw the empty bottle off the cliff face after pinching yourself and finding you didn’t feel it
>You said your last words and went for it
>Right when you did, however, a loud sqeak of terror distracted you
>In your drunken state, it was enough to make you miss your heart, and drive it into the other side of your chest
>Turns out it did hurt
>You let out a scream of pain
>Suddenly, a small yellow pegasus is at your side, checking the injury
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
>You start to feel unconsciousness clutch at you from the slow blood loss (the claw is still in)
I-i-it’s going to be ok, it’ll be ok
>Aquivering voice spoke at you
>Despite your body trying to knock itself out, you spit back a reply
No it won’t! It will NOT be “ok”!!
>The pegasus seems taken aback. Probably surprised you can speak
It won’t be ok because none you bastards care what I do! Not a single one of you would be at my fueneral!!
>Rage was starting to take hold, your emotions spilling over
Fuck, I wouldn’t even have one!! Nobody would care that that horrible monster died!
>You’re screaming now
YOU THINK BEING ALONE IS FUN? YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS DIFFERET, YOU SHOULD FEAR THEM?
>Sadness sneaks its way in as you start sobbing uncontrollably
NOT ONE!!
>You lower your voice
Not one pony visited. I don’t want to be alone anymore
>Unconsciousness starts to win the fight now
I don’t want to be alone…. I don’t want to be alone…
>You say over and over again, softer and softer each time
>Just before you black out, you feel yourself being hugged
>A small voice on the edge of tears says something in your ear
I’m here. I won’t leave you alone. You don’t have to be alone
>Then the world is black
---
>You wake up again in a small bed, shirtless, and with bandages covering your right chest area
>You open your eyes to see the wooden interior of a house
>You try to sit up, but are stopped by pain and a yellow hoof
Oh, you’re awake! Let me get you some soup!
>A quiet voice said
>The pony in question walked out of the room, giving you a chance to see who she was
>It was Fluttershy. You’ve heard about her, she takes care of animals
>She comes back with a bowl of soup, which smells delicious
Why
>You ask, finding that talking causes some pain in your chest
>The butter yellow pegasus looks confused for a moment
Because nopony should hurt like that
>Now it was your turn to be confused
>Fluttershy gives you the soup to drink as she answers
Nopony should have to be like you were. Alone, in a place where everypony feared and hated you
>She pauses, thinking for a moment
I see somepony who needs a friend more than anything else in the whole world. You looked so broken the other day… 
>She looks a sad now, a sort of wistful sadness
But you shouldn’t do… that…
>She smiles and gives you a tender hug
I’ll be your friend. You don’t have to be alone
>Tears were shed that day, as you returned the hug and sealed the deal
>It turns out you had collapsed a lung from that stunt, but with Fluttershy’s help, you slowly got better
>You eventually moved all of your things over to her cottage, and lived with her, helping her feed and care for the critters of the woods
>You even managed to move the time device, by putting it in a nearby river with a strong current.
>As time passed, Fluttershy would introduce you to her friends
>Maybe one day, you will be on friendly terms with everypony
>Maybe; life is worth living after all
