  2. >That fucking ear piercing voice...

  5. >Oh right, you're 27 years old with a already failing marriage, you've been regretting for years.

  12. > And that amazing body, so many curves it could derail a train.
  13. >With your parent's woodland home scenery to compliment your already scrumptious view.
  14. >She's still as beautiful as ever, just more bitchy and demanding.
  15. >"Anon! I'm going now, my mom Is here to watch the kids, be at the counselor's in an hour!"
  16. Yes honey...
  17. >You mumble reluctantly into your pillow.
  18. >"I love you." She smiles at you.
  19. >All you could muster was
  20. Yep.
  21. >She scoffs at your half hearted response, and slams the bedroom door shut.
  22. Well... Time to get up.
  23. >While you're still lieing down, you slowly stretch your body and seemily cracking every bone in your back.
  24. >58 minutes and counting...
  25. >While sliping on your signature comfy shorts, you head out of the bedroom walking down the hallway, with a towel in tow.
  26. >You stop by the living room area.
  27. >You see your beautiful six year old daughter, sitting on the floor watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
  28. "Good morning sweetie."
  29. >You say while leaning down to plant a kiss on her forehead.
  30. >All she responds with is:
  31. >"Daddy! Princess Cadence is marrying Shining armor!"
  32. >You give her a puzzled look as you turn your head to the screen, watching two ponies enter a carriage with wedding attire on.
  33. >"Just like you and mommy!"
  34. >That statement hits you right in the feels...
  35. >You've always loved your daughter reguardless of the state of your marriage.
  36. "Alright Rozzlyn, daddy's gonna go get cleaned up and go to work. Grandma is gonna watch you today."
  37. >Her face turns sad.
  38. >"But daddy, can't we just play today?"
  39. >This is starting to kill you.
  40. "I'm sorry sweetie, daddy has some important work to do with mommy today. We can watch My Little Pony, when I get home."
  41. >She gives you a pouty look saying: "Alrrrriiiggghhht."
  42. >You give her another big hug, then pick up your towel and head to the bathroom.
  43.  
  44.  
  45. >You feel refreshed, and professional now that you're clothed.
  46. >You've got about 25 minutes till the counseling session.
  47. >Just enough time to get some coffee through the drive through.
  48. >You grab your warm winter coat, your keys, and say goodbye and thank you to your mother in law.
  49. >Something strikes you right as you leave out the door.
  50. >The streets seem barren...
  51. >You look down at your watch.
  52. >8:38.
  53. "What the hell? Isn't it like, rush hour?"
  54. >I mean, your town isn't that big, but hell, this is just plain eerie.
  55. >You try to shrug it off as you slip into your freezing mini-van.
  56. >You turn the key in the ignition, and crank the heat all the way to high.
  57. >Turning your head to back out, you see a very old and creepy looking truck pass by the driveway of your house.
  58. >It's really rusty and looks like it was from the 50s.
  59. >At a glance, you saw a bearded old man with a pipe hanging out of his mouth.
  60. >Out of all the cars you see, that thing?
  61. >You scoff
  62. >As you finally are backed out, you head towards Mcdonald's to get a steaming hot cup o' Joe.
  63. >You never needed anything fancy or expensive.
  64. >Mcdonald's coffee suffices your caffeine needs and for some reason, always stays so damn hot.
  65. >You pull up to your destination to see there is only one car parked in the lot.
  66. >This makes no sense.
  67. >This place is normaly fucking packed to the brim, with breakfast hungry Americans.
  68. >You pull to the speaker box whilst rolling your window down.
  69. >A woman with a pleasant voice responds "Welcome to Mcdonalds, how can I serve you?
  70. "Can I get a large coffee?"
  71. >"That'll be $1.26, anything else?"
  72. "No thank you"
  73. >You were always known for being a polite man, maybe a little weird at times too...
  74. >"Please pull up to the second window"
  75. >You begin to pull up, and make a complete stop, centering yourself with the window.
  76. >A woman, probably in her 20s with black hair in a pony tail, opens the window and takes your money.
  77. >Pony tail... It rings through your head.
  78. >Memories of your daughter watching MLP flash through your head.
  79. >"I'll be right back with your coffee sir."
  80. >With that, you snap back to reality.
  81. >She closes the window and dissapears.
  82. >You at your radio with it reading: 8:52.
  83. >The counselor is about a five minute drive from here, you'll make it no problem.
  84. >You've been waiting for about five minutes.
  85. "What the hell is this wait? It's one fucking cup of coffee!"
  86. >You start yelling HELLO??? At the window.
  87. >You begin to knock on it.
  88. >No response.
  89. >You start curiously looking every which way at the window, wondering where the hell the lady is.
  90. "I don't have time for this."
  91. >You grunt.
  92. >You speed away from the window with a "Fuck it" attitude.
  93. >As you're driving down the road towards the counselors office, you can't get that kid's show out of your damn head.
  94. >Pictures of colorful candy-ass ponies are now bombarding your mind.
  95. >You pull on to the mainroad and you're now running late by 2 minutes.
  96. >You're speeding like, 65 in a 45.
  97. >You're mind still filled with ponies, and it's starting to scare you.
  98. >You begin to turn on the road and you're tires immediatly lock up, due to how fast you were going into the turn.
  99. "Oh, fuck!"
  100. >You begin to frantically turn your wheel left and right to avoid crashing.
  101. >You're speeding really fast towards the ditch now, no hope of stopping, it's so slick.
  102. "Damnit!!!"
  103. >You've now flown into the ditch.
  104. >Your car came to an immediate stop.
  105. >Unfortunatly, your airbags didn't deploy, you hit your head on the steering wheel pretty bad.
  106. "sssssssssss--"
  107. >You grab your head in pain.
  108. >Trying to regain your bearings, you unhook your seatbelt and try prying open the door.
  109. >theres a cascade of snow blocking your door.
  110. >The headache isn't helping you open it any easier.
  111. >You're car is still upright, you didn't take too much damage from the impact.
  112. >You try climbing over the seats to the back door of the car.
  113. >Your left leg is a little hurt.
  114. >Unhooking the latch, the back door opens with ease.
  115. >You climb out and take a look at where you are.
  116. >You landed about 15 feet from the road, by the edge of the forest that lies beyond it.
  117. >Your car landed front first into the snow, luckily, it gave you some cushion.
  118. >You climb over mounds of snow to get by the edge of the road.
  119. "Great."
  120. >No cars on the road to be found.
  121. >It's like a 10 mile hike back to town, there's no way your gonna walk back in this cold.
  122. >You reach into your pocket, only to find pieces of smashed phone.
  123. "This has to be some kind of horror story."
  124. >You look back at the forest and limp back down to where your car lies.
  125. >You just stare at how fucked your car is, then you turn your head to the forest.
  126. >You see a very small worn out shed maybe 100-175 yards out.
  127. >It's really eerie, and when you look at it, it gives you a strange feeling like it's been haunted.
  128. >Probably some guys hunting blind.
  129. "Well, no sense standing in this cold."
  130. >You start walking towards the shed, swearing you could hear a horses footsteps.
  131. >It's so eerie here, dead quiet, and so overcast it's almost dark.
  132. >You look at your watch again. reading 9:20AM.
  133. >Jen is going to hate you.
  134. >You're getting closer and closer to a divorce.
  135. >You're now about 20 feet from the shed.
  136. >God, there's just something about it that feels off.
  137. >What is it doing near the town?
  138. >You take a closer look, it looks about 6x8 in size, and has a dark wood finish.
  139. >It's really old looking, and has gaps in the wood board walls.
  140. >You're now at the door of the shed and are hesitant to open it.
  141. >This property is owned by the city, no one will bother you just hole up here for awhile.
  142. >You slowly open the door made of a sheet metal, and see something that will forever change who you are.
  143. >Something horrible, something that was not meant for human eyes.
  144. >Nah, just kidding.
  145. >Fuck off brain.
  146. >Inside you find a chair in the corner with an end table, a foam mat with a light blanket on it, and a box of matches sitting on the chair.
  147. >It looks as it's been camped in recently.
  148. >It's really fucking creepy, but you don't care, that head damage back there really made you drowsy, you can sleep it off.
  149. >You position yourself in a sleeping position on the mat and try to get a nap.
  150. >If they find your car, they'll see the footsteps leading here.
  151. >On the verge of falling asleep, you hear those trotting noises again.
  152. "I'm probably just hearing things, god my head hurts."
  153. >And soon, you are drifting to sleep, flashbacks of regret, your daughter, trotting noises, and My Little Pony images flow through your mind.
  154. >And you don't stop the MLP thoughts, they're peaceful, they take you away from your mundane life.
  155. >It's another world only filled happiness and colorful ponies...
