  1. >Oh, you’re awake.
  2. >As awake as you can be here, anyway.
  3. >It’s nice to see you, Anonymous.
  4. >…who am I? Hm.
  5. >That’s not really important right now.
  6. >What is important is what I’m about to tell you.
  7. >You see, tomorrow is a very special day.
  8. >A being from another world will be delivered unto you.
  9. >You must care for it, and nurture it.
  10. >Why? Well, because this being will be the catalyst for events that will decide the outcome for events yet to come.
  11. >This being will save worlds
  12. >Or doom them.
  13. >You…well, you won’t take as much of a leading role.
  14. >To everyone else, anyway.
  15. >But to this creature, you will be a source of wisdom, and of nourishment.
  16. >Treat this creature like it is your own, Anonymous.
  17. >…I cannot tell you the events that will transpire, I’m afraid.
  18. >Far too much could go wrong.
  19. >But please, remember this tomorrow, for even though you remain skeptical, I speak nothing but the truth to you.
  20. >…you think very little of yourself, Anonymous.
  21. >You wonder how it could be you of all people to be assigned with this task.
  22. >And perhaps, my friend, that in itself is the answer to your question.
  23. >What good would someone with all the answers do? Someone with everything figured out, with no self-doubt or turmoil…
  24. >You’re not perfect.
  25. >And that's what makes you perfect to me.
  26. >It’s almost time to get up, Anonymous.
  27. >I can feel you getting further and further.
  28. >Just remember what I’ve said to you.
  29. >Goodbye for now…
  30. *BEEP BEEP BEEP*
  31. >8:00 AM
  32. >alarm clock pls
  33. >The light of morning seeps into the cracks between your eyelids, and you know it’s unavoidable.
  34. >You’re awake.
  35. >This does not please you.
  36. >Not willing to drag this process out any longer than it has to go on for, you pull your tired carcass out of bed, rising up to meet a new day.
  37. >Agonizingly, you pull on a pair of black slacks and an olive sweatshirt.
  38. >Before heading downstairs, however, you partake in your one pleasure of the early morning; sliding into your new slippers.
  39. >Your senses are taken to a whole new level of comfy, your feet cradled in the warm flannel fabric.
  40. >And you used to think slippers were dumb.
  41. >After taking a quick piss, you trundle downstairs, wondering why the hell you were even awake.
  42. >You didn’t remember setting an alarm last night, and as far as you could remember, today was a day off from work.
  43. >The days seemed to really blend together lately, so you wouldn’t be surprised if you were wrong.
  44. >Still, a glance at a nearby calendar proves you correct, begrudgingly; it was a day off, and you were awake at eight in the morning.
  45. >Deciding not to dwell on the issue any longer than necessary, sit at the kitchen table, slumped forward in what has to be the sorriest sight you can imagine.
  46. >You weren’t a morning person.
  47. >Stretching, you wonder what the hell you’re going to do today.
  48. >You’re a mess, and you know it, so going out right now probably isn’t a good idea.
  49. >As well, it looks like it’s about to rain, and hard.
  50. >You don’t recall any chores you have to do for the day.
  51. >Rubbing the little bit of stubble on your chin, you try and think of how your day is going to pan out.
  52. >…maybe you should just relax today.
  53. >You walk toward the door, sliding on a windbreaker.
  54. >Opening the door, a light breeze dances across your cheek.
  55. >It’s late fall, and although it’s a bit chilly, it’s warm enough to justify lounging on the porch.
  56. >Hair a mess, you sit on the bench laid across the porch of your little house.
  57. >The cushions are a bit torn up, but you don’t mind much.
  58. >You lean back against the wall of the house, feeling a little hum from the water pipes inside.
  59. >The little grey clouds above rumble, and before you know it, rain starts to fall.
  60. >Eight in the morning, rain falling above, the scent of coffee barely registering from indoors.
  61. >It was enough to send you plummeting back into sleep.
  62. >Christ, it was so good…
  63. >You soon decide that you shouldn’t let yourself fall asleep.
  64. >Slowly rising from your seat, you stretch your shoulders out.
  65. >Your eyes slowly fall open, that odd warm and stretchy feeling bubbling behind your eyelids.
  66. >And then you spot something.
  67. >A white and pinkish lump walking onto your lawn from the road.
  68. >It’s pretty small, but it sticks out like a sore thumb next to all the grass and pavement around it.
  69. >You need a better look.
  70. >You lean onto the banister, and get a better look at the thing that you see walking…no, stumbling onto your yard.
  71. >And man, it’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen.
  72. >A little white pony, with a flowing rainbow-colored mane.
  73. >Its white coat is stained with mud, and its body hobbles with an amount of fatigue and exhaustion that even makes you feel concerned.
  74. >You say nothing, silently watching the little horse thing plod onto your property.
  75. >You weren’t sure what to do or say, horses weren’t the type of pest you normally got in the suburbs.
  76. >It suddenly falls to its flanks, panting loudly.
  77. >You stare at the pony, and you quickly find its own eyes locked onto yours.
  78. >Time almost seems to stand still, meeting the gaze of the little thing on your lawn.
  79. >The world around you seems to fade away, and the pony becomes the only thing your senses can register.
  80. >You somehow hear its heart beat, and you notice every little movement its ethereal mane makes.
  81. >Every little gasp for air, every little twitch of overexertion.
  82. >And somehow, you feel that the pony is doing the same thing to you.
  83. >White noise completely envelops you, and a sort of sensory overload takes place.
  84. >You can't move, or think, or feel, all you can do is stare at the pony, gasping for air which for some reason wasn't there.
  85. >The wind picks up around you, and you begin to feel panic.
  86. >You can't feel the ground under your feet anymore.
  87. >At this point, panic makes way for pure, unadulterated fear.
  88. >What the hell is this? What the hell is happening to you?! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THI-
  89. >"Just remember what I've said to you."
  90. >And then it stops.
  91. >The world has fallen back to normal, leaving you and the pony where you were before.
  92. >It seems to have the same out-of-breath look that you have.
  93. >This thing…it looks so damn weird.
  94. >You notice now that it has a unicorn horn and wings on its body, making the little alien look even stranger to you.
  95. >It pants and wheezes at you, almost as if it will break down into a seizure of some sort at the drop of a hat.
  96. >That's probably just because it's so little and tired, but still...
  97. >The weirdest thing is, her eyes never leave yours.
  98. >She just gives you this freaky stare, waiting for you to do something.
  99. >Anything.
  100. >You want to go inside and call someone, to get this freaky thing off of your property.
  101. >Still, what happened before…
  102. >You feel as though there is some divine force pushing you toward it.
  103. >Even if it was the weirdest thing to ever happen to you, in this husk of mediocrity, you feel as though you’re meant to do…something with it.
  104. >You have two options.
  105. You can either end this now by calling for help, or allow yourself to get caught up in all of this and approach the creature.
  106. >You gulp.
  107. Decisions.
  108. >Divine intervention not be tampered with.
  109. >Your step off of the porch step, not much minding the rain.
  110. >Every step you take makes the little horse reel back a bit, though not necessarily out of fear.
  111. >The rain picks up above you both, but you don't let it distract you, and soon enough you're towering over her little shivering frame.
  112. >It's hard think of something to say something to what might possibly be the first alien life form on the planet, really.
  113. >The possibility that it doesn't even speak your language is something that concerns you.
  114. >But somehow, the single word you say seems to break the silence perfectly.
  115. "Hello."
  116. >For a moment, the pony does nothing.
  117. >But soon it musters up a retort.
  118. >"Hi."
  119. >The thunder crackles above you.
  120. >Without another word, you pick up the little horse, bringing her small and weary frame into the warmth and safety of your home.
  121. >She'll be safe, for now.
