- >Day Life is Like a Tom Waits Song. In Equestria.
- >You had a friend back in the normal world.
- >He wasn't a good person.
- >You're in the shower again.
- >Your chest pressed against the wall.
- >Steam fogging up the room.
- >You close your eyes.
- >And you're back in that shitty apartment.
- >And he's making that disgusting soup.
- >"Don't close your eyes."
- >He said that a lot.
- >Usually when walking in looking like a smashed up haunch of meat.
- >Your body aches.
- >You don't have any bruises and cuts.
- >Be a man, Anonymous.
- >Rise above your number, Eight-oh-Eight.
- >For a shower it's awfully dry.
- >You wish you could get some water on you.
- >But in your mind, you're back home.
- >So what does it matter.
- >"Don't close your eyes."
- >Fluttershy slams your head into the tiles.
- >She applies pressure until you turn to look at her.
- >The ivory-colored strap-on continues to ravage you.
- >"Don't close your eyes, Anonymous...just enjoy it."
- >She went in dry.
- >The shower water does not help.
- >Beyond the water hitting the basin.
- >And Fluttershy's pants and thrusts.
- >You can hear the "schloorching"
- >Of being anally penetrated.
- >The muscles expand and contract.
- >And your eyes are wet.
- >On some level
- >A primal response level
- >You're screaming
- >And you're...enjoying the sensation.
- >But nothing is coming out.
- >"Anonymous, kiss me."
- >You're broken.
- >Coffee.
- >Doughnuts. No icing for you.
- >No fritters. No board meeting today.
- >You managed to salvage one good suit from the snowbank
- >And Fluttershy's shredding while you attempted sleep.
- >Sleeping with one-eye-open style sleeping.
- >On a futon without any sheets or blankets.
- >Sit at the desk.
- >6:15 in the A.M.
- >Everyday you're a little earlier.
- >You just drink your coffee.
- >And you do everypony's work for them.
- >By the time Minuette and Time Turner show up you've finished the budget reports
- >And the time tables and some minor parks and recreations paperwork they just forgot to do.
- >You walk to Minuette's desk.
- "Employee 247."
- >You stack the paperwork in front of her.
- >"Oh...wow, Eight-zero-eight, you didn't have to do this...kinda makes me look bad."
- >Minuette is a nice enough mare, if she did he work on time and didn't cut out early she'd be nicer.
- >Apparently she's always on time, but punctuality shouldn't excuse early ducking out.
- >You walk over to Time Turner's desk.
- >He's nursing a bearclaw and some frappe thing.
- "Employee 365."
- >He grins at you.
- >"Eight-oh-eight, you're looking..."
- >His grin twitches into a frown.
- >"Hah. Wow..uhm, I dunno...Stark."
- >He laughs awkwardly.
- >You set the papers down on his desk.
- >"Oh wow, thanks buddy. Y'know, me and a couple of the guys around here were going to..uh.."
- "I'm. Fine."
- >You turn to leave.
- >"Well yeah, it's just..."
- >"Uh...Hey, I need to take a leak. You need to come with me."
- "W..what?"
- >He hops off his little stool and puts a hoof into your back, pushing you forward.
- >"Less talking more moving before anyone sees you, buddy."
- >You're in a bad mood, you shouldn't take it out on your co-workers.
- >It's not their fault you suck.
- >Time Turner shoves you into the bathroom and forces you into a stall.
- >"Take your pants off and don't make this weird."
- >WHAT.
- >You shake with fear and anger.
- >Always you will be betrayed.
- >...You're just that guy in the grand scheme of things.
- >Weak. Worth nothing more than to be prey to a predator.
- >Many predators.
- >"Eight-zero-eight, I'm not a human expert but I think your asshole is bleeding."
- >Oh.
- "W-wh--what? Oh no. No-no-no-no-no-no..."
- >"Yeah, NO! This is bad. The Mayor's already talked to me about your little fashion flubs."
- >You fumble with your belt.
- >Dang it, why did you have to invest in a buckle?
- >It's nice and pulls the suit together.
- >But now it's damning you.
- >Turner just kicks the buckle off.
- >You pull your pants down.
- >A red stain seeps through the back of your undergarments.
- >"Yeah..uh, buddy. You sleep in the bad side of town or--you one of uh...those guys?"
- "My...my a-a-anus is b-b-bleeding."
- >"Yeah, uh...crap."
- >He begins to wad up toilet paper between his hooves.
- "My anus..is b-b-b-bleeeding."
- >"You going to tell all of Equestria about it, or you going to clot that, eight-oh-eight?"
- >You look at the displeased expression on his face.
- >You look at the bunched up toilet paper.
- >You grab it and shove it into your butt hole.
- >"It was starting to bleed through your pants, eight-oh-eight."
- >You have to work it inside the anus.
- >It's embaressing.
- >You sit down on the toilet and hang your head.
- "S-sorry I was being a j-jerk to you Mr. T-t-turner."
- >"You were?--I uh mean, hey, no problem what's your name again?"
- "A-a-anonymous..."
- >"Eugh too long. Got a nickname?"
- "F-f-four-oh-f-four called m-me M-moose."
- >"Well Moose, couple things. One, why is your ass bleeding and please give me the not gross version; so I know whether to walk out and bleach my brain or get you to the hospital."
- >You do start to cry.
- >"And two, buddy; you kinda look like crap. I mean, you have these past few days anyway but you sleeping all right? This isn't like a...weird coltfriend situation, is it? Not that there's anything wrong with that."
- >He mumbles something about office rumors.
- >And how he's not like but SOMEPONIES just...
- >And how if you go to Appaloosa one time...
- >"ONE TIME...it's all 'Hey how's the Cowcolt, Time Turner...Screw you Minuette, you're the office slu--"
- >His attention snaps back to normal.
- >"Uh...you crying, Moose?"
- "N-no-nyes."
- >"You uh...this is a coltfriend thing isn't it?"
- "N-no."
- >"Oh...that was totally not politically correct was it? Like, implying they cry--I'm stopping now."
- >He takes a moment to soak in the situation and nods a little.
- >"Yeah, well....Me and some of the other wage slaves were going up to catch a movie this weekend.."
- >You nod a little.
- >"Tickets are..uh...not expensive, and I figured since you're always getting us coffee and doughnuts...maybe you wanted to come. But--I can see you're kinda...going through something."
- "It's...F-f-fluttershy."
- >"Oh. Well, I told you she was crazy. Don't stick it in Crazy Mare. She'll break you buddy."
- >You frown up at him.
- >He actually takes a step back.
- >"Or...maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, so you...uhm...What?"
- >You just hang your head back down.
- >Deep breaths.
- >You can feel the tears streaming down your cheeks.
- >You don't make a sound.
- >"Hhhgn...this is awkward."
- >He coughs into his hoof.
- >"You uh...want me to get someone to talk to or...you good?"
- >Why did you go to that stupid party.
- >You were better than this once.
- >"Yeah...I'm going to go wash my hooves, I'll see if Four-Oh-Four will take you to the hospital when she shows up to get the mail."
- >Exiting a workplace
- >While concealing a bleeding anus
- >This is not one of your prouder moments
- >Is this the worst moment in your life?
- >You press yourself up against the wall and sidle slowly
- >An few co-worker-ponies pass by.
- >They don't even notice you.
- >This isn't the worst moment in your life,
- >But you're getting there.
- >Time Turner exits the Mayor's Office and sees you against the wall.
- >Inching your way.
- >Step by step.
- >Towards the exit.
- >"What're you even doing?"
- >Light sigh of embarrassment.
- "I'm..trying to sneak outside so nobody sees m-me."
- >"I had that Mayor call everyone for a conference call-"
- "Oh! W-who c-calle--"
- >"Nobody called. It's a distraction. So you don't have to...spaz out."
- >He rolls his eyes and trots up to the exit.
- >He looks out into Ponyville.
- >"So, what happened anyway?'
- "Uhm..."
- >"I mean, recently. Because you've gone from being...I dunno 'eh' to 'eugh'."
- "I t-told you already...F-fluttershy."
- >"Wow. You uhm...want somebody to talk to her or something?"
- >You just look at the ground.
- >A real man would take care of his own problems.
- >Man up.
- "...y-yes please."
- >Turner tries to crack a smile.
- >"Crazy makes you crazy, trust me. I've been there."
- >There's a loud crash outside.
- >Branches splinter.
- >And snow falls in a heavy klumph.
- >Time Turner sighs and shakes his head.
- >"Hey Four-Oh-Four, you wanna hurry it up? Punctuality counts."
- >From under snow bank
- >Under a nearby tree
- >You can her a groan.
- >Derpy, aka, Civil Employee 404 is nice.
- >You just met the other day.
- >She's got those weird eyes, but it'd be mean to say something.
- >Or judge her for that.
- >She pops her head out of the snow and shakes her head like a dog out of a bath.
- >"Who wants to go to the hospital?"
- >She climbs out of the snowbank and shakes some twigs out of her mane.
- >She's wearing a funny little mail carrier's outfit.
- >Time Turner nudges you out the door.
- >"Eight-oh-eight needs to see a doctor. I need to get back to work."
- >Derpy frowns a big sad frown.
- >"OH NO! What happened Moose?"
- >Time Turner looks at you.
- "Oh...uhm...it's n-n-nothing."
- >Turner just rolls his eyes.
- >"Just tell her, bud. We're wasting time now."
- "My...anus is bleeding."
- >Derpy gets a big goofy grin.
- >"Time Turner, you scoundrel of a stallion~"
- "...m-maybe we can j-just k-kill me now."
- >You mutter to yourself.
- >She makes a kissy face.
- >"You're a class act Derpy, you know that?"
- >She blows Turner a big kiss and then shakes her rump at you.
- >"Hop on the caboose, Moose."
- >You look at her butt.
- >She shimmies it.
- >She shammies it.
- >Shimmy-shammy.
- "W-won't ponies notice me r-riding you?"
- >Time Turner lets out an exasperated grunt.
- >"I gotta get back to work, Moose just let someone know if you're not going to be at work tomorrow."
- >Derpy waves at Turner as he departs.
- >"Buh-bye Doctah!"
- >"I don't get your references, Derp."
- >You get on Derpy's butt.
- >"All aboard the bubble bus!"
- >She lifts off into the air a bit quicker than you expected.
- >You fall off and find yourself gripping on to her rear legs
- >She flutters awkwardly and looks down at you between her legs.
- >"Moose, I thought you were on the bubble bus."
- >You're about twenty feet off the ground far too quickly for your comfort.
- "I-I...fell."
- >You're shaking something fierce.
- >She's not paying attention to where she's flying.
- >A few letters spill out of her carrier saddle bags.
- >"Do you want me to land Moosey-goose?"
- >You really do.
- >But you're flying over the market now.
- >Noponies are paying attention.
- >But they might if you land.
- >You reach an arm up and grab her flank.
- >You begin to pull yourself up.
- >A few inches at a time.
- >But it's too hard.
- >You make the effort though.
- >She lands anyway and you get on proper.
- >You're at the hospital when you get on proper.
- "...Oh."
- >She giggles.
- >"You're a good climber, Moose. T-tight grip."
- >You smile at the compliment.
- >She probably meant it.
- >"How come your booty is bleeding anyway, Moose-a-roose?"
- >You sigh.
- "...b-because of a...bad pegasus."
- >She frowns.
- >"It wasn't the muffins was it?"
- >She begins to panic.
- >"I only dropped the egg shells in them one time! And I thought I ate that one I'm so-super-duper-sorry Moose! I'm not a bad pegasus, I'm really nice. Nice and fun and bubbly and uhm....sor--"
- >You always make a mess of things.
- "Wasn't you! Sorry. Sorry Derpy...it's someone else."
- >She wipes her brow and smiles.
- >"Oh...and somepony else is--"
- >She sounds like she's awkwardly trying to broach the subject.
- "It was a f-f-fe--lady."
- >She nods and bites her lip.
- >"I gotta deliver the mail...cuz that's my job. But you get well soon Moose! I'll bring you mail if you get any!"
- >You thank her and she scoots off through the air with all the grace of a toaster oven.
- >Hospitals are just as sterile here as they are back home.
- >And just as slow.
- >You fill out paperwork with exceptional quickness.
- >A nurse takes you to a little room and you disrobe.
- >She has a little grin when she sees you pull a clotted
- >Dried.
- >Bloody clump of tissues out of your butt.
- >You lay on a bed and just watch the world outside the window for a bit.
- >You'd wax poetically about life not being fair.
- >But the pony in the bed next to you doesn't have any hair.
- >And he's clearly going through something serious.
- >You're having a great day compared to him.
- >That's probably offensive.
- >Nothing eventful happens until the doctor gives you a once-over.
- >"Four-to-six pills a night, don't do anything strenuous unless you want an infection."
- >Her voice is quite condescending.
- >"Should clear up within a week."
- >You can go to work tomorrow.
- >You've got a prescription.
- >And the rest of the day to hopefully catch up on sleep and nourishment.
- >If Fluttershy isn't at your place.
- >Wait.
- >You work late nights.
- >And leave early in the morning.
- >There's never anything in the house.
- >And there's nothing left for her to destroy in there.
- >You feel a smile coming on.
- >It's so good.
- >You get dressed and leave the hospital.
- >You arrive home before
- >Freaking Fluttershy
- >That Jerk.
- >It's mid-afternoon.
- >You've pushed your futon up against the door.
- >And locked it.
- >You've closed all your windows.
- >And locked them as tight as possible.
- >You even lock that tiny little window in the bathroom.
- >You lay on the floor in the middle of your living room / kitchen / dining area.
- >You laugh.
- "Y-yeah! T-take t-t-t-that F-fflutterjerk."
- >You even pump a fist in the air.
- >You take your pills.
- >Today might end up being a good day.
- >You clean up the shredded clothing of your apartment.
- >You find some dry noodles in a pantry.
- >It's just like college life again.
- >Hum a little ditty.
- >Boil some noodles.
- >Farafel.
- >Spaghetti reminds you of worms.
- >You enjoy a nice meal of spaghetti and water.
- >You camp out on your rug and just nosh.
- >And it feels good.
- >Your ass hurts now.
- >You feel good otherwise.
- >You take some more pills.
- >Nap on the rug.
- >"ANONYMOUS! OPEN THE DOOR!"
- >You look up from your place on the ground.
- >Quite dark outside.
- >"A-a-anonymous...please...ponies m-might see me...mister."
- >That sounds...
- >Quite unlike the Fluttershy you know.
- >You stick close to the ground.
- >"I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!"
- >No she can't.
- >Whatever time it is now, it's still earlier than when you normally get home!
- >Probably!
- >...You'd be doing much better if you got overtime.
- >But it's all voluntary work anyway--
- >CONCENTRATE ANONYMOUS
- >Right-o.
- "N-n-no."
- >She probably can't hear you.
- >"Anonymous...p-p-p-puh-please...It's F-fluttershy...it's dark out."
- "No!"
- >Not a shout.
- >But loud enough!
- >"I c-can't hear you...sweetie."
- >She presses herself up against a window.
- >Her eye looking around creepily for you.
- >Thank you kitchen counter for obstructing her view.
- "It's...IT's MY H-H-HOUSE! And we-...uhm...WE ARE Nuh-NOT DATING!"
- >Yeah!
- >Go you!
- >You peek from your spot on the ground.
- >Fluttershy looks like she's going to cry.
- >You feel bad now.
- >Stop it.
- >You feel some pity still.
- >"B-but you l-love me."
- "I d-d-don't even know you."
- >She seems to have heard that.
- >"...but y-you never w-wanted to."
- >You begin to feel a sinking feeling in your stomach.
- >And then you can feel your human roommate from a better world sock you in the gut.
- >How Does That Change a THING?
- >She's used you and abused you.
- >She's outside.
- >She feels bad.
- >Drink some beer and feel good DAM--darn it!
- >You have no beers to drink.
- "Just leave me alone, Fluttershy."
- >You didn't even stutter.
- >Today you are a man.
- >And this weekend,
- >You sure as shoot
- >Are gonna go catch a movie.
- >Because
- >YOU
- >ARE
- >A
- >M-A-N.
- >...yay.
