- I intend no offence if that’s what you feel at this, also keep in mind that this is not accurate, I don’t know what really happened and just wrote this as I feel Strel would have done
- >Day unknown in Russia
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t--n7oU_oRk
- >A ragged cough sounds in the dim room
- >Laying in a bed, covered by a blanket with the Russian flag sewn into the front, is the imposing form of a Russian man
- >Strelnikov is his name
- >”THIS BEING SICK BUSSINESS IS FOR THE BIRDS”
- >Scowling at nothing, he sits in bed brooding
- >Even with jarring lances of pain wracking him, so painful that a lesser man would be reduced to tears, he remains stone-faced, a testament to his will
- >Sending a forlorn glance to his computer in the corner of the room, the monitor lit, the letters “/mlp/” plain as day the Russian man wonders about all the things he’s experienced on the dreaded site
- >He sighs, then winces as an especially bad jolt of pain races up his form
- “ENOUGH OF THIS”
- >Slowly rising out of the bed, Strelnikov shuffles to his kitchen
- >Spying a bottle on the counter, he grabs it and takes a swig of the clear, burning contents in one fluid motion
- “SCREW WHAT DOCTOR SAYS, YOU DON’T KEEP RUSSIAN FROM HIS VODKA”
- >Taking another mouthful of liquor Strelnikov looks at his calendar on the wall
- >On the last day of the month is a circle
- >Such a simple mark means so much
- >One month
- >That’s how long they said he had
- >Strelnikov grinds his teeth, hating the fate he was dealt
- >No…there is one thing he can do
- >Steel in his gaze, the Russian downs the rest of his drink in one go
- “NO, STRELNIKOV IS A MAN, A MAN THAT WILL GO ON HIS OWN TERMS”
- >Mind made up, he slowly walks back to his room, his agonizing condition slowing him
- >Finally there, he digs through his closet, producing a small box
- >Taking it to his bed, the Russian takes off the lid, revealing his father’s old service pistol
- >Picking up the gun gingerly, he takes a still full magazine out of the box and loads the weapon
- >With a click, he chambers a round into the old gun
- >Pressing the barrel to his heart, Strelnikov takes one last look to the computer in the corner, /mlp/ still on the screen
- “ALL OF YOU, YOU ARE SCUM OF INTERNET”
- >The Russian man smiles wanly
- “…BUT NEVER HAS BEING WITH SCUM BEEN SO ENJOYABLE”
- >He puts a finger on the trigger
- “IF I FIND ANYONE OF YOU IN HELL SOON, I WILL KICK COLLECTIVE ASSES”
- BANG!
- ~~~~~~~
- >Disorientation
- >That’s all he feels
- >The ground shifting
- >The wind chaotic
- >Whole body tingling
- >A bright white light
- >Whether it was seconds or hours he would never know, but once it all stops he realizes he is on his back on the ground
- >With a groan, Strelnikov sits up and opens his eyes
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLy1YbU8BOk
- >All round are trees and grassland, green and verdant as can be
- >Strelnikov looks up, seeing blue sky, clear as springwater
- “THIS IS NOT HELL…”
- >Standing up, Strelnikov feels no pain
- >Wait, no pain?
- >Looking at his hands, no longer pale and clammy, it hits him
- “STRELNIKOV IS HEALTHY? HA! NOTHING GETS A RUSSIAN MAN DOWN”
- >Taking a deep breath of clean air, he looks around to gain his bearings
- >As before, all around is greenery with the exception of the north
- >Walking to the opening in the forest, Strelnikov stops and stares, struck dumb by what he sees
- >Down a hill on the opening is a very familiar rustic town…
- >Could this be..?
- >Craning his head around Strelnikov sees a mountain in the distance, a castle attached to it’s side
- “NO, IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE…”
- >Rubbing his eyes and looking back at the town he sees that nothing has changed
- >Ever so slowly, a grin forms on the man’s face
- “LOOKS LIKE STRELNIKOV WILL BE WRITING HIS OWN STORY AFTERALL”
- >He looks down at the town
- “LETS GET STARTED ON CHAPTER ONE YA?”
- >Without a look back, he starts off to the settlement of P0nyville
- >It would be only the first of many wonders earth could never offer
- >A perfect fate for a deserving man
- We will miss you Strel, If any of us are worthy of making it to Equestria as an afterlife, it was you.
- I know you’re there. Live the dream you glorious motherfucker, Live the dream.
