Already? Stupid camper." >Slowly go the same route- >A heavy sigh leaves you. >Okay, just go around and- "Oh whatever, how the hay did you know I was there?" >You pick a faster class and rush. >Almost every shot misses. "This is stupid!" >Finally, you just decide to go another route, and ignore them all together- "SERIOUSLY, FOUR PONIES THERE?!" >Sticking close to your team, you watch as sweet justice is delivered to those four, then continue on your way. >You see the objective in sight nearby, and head for it- "THAT SAME STUPID PONY, REALLY?!" >>Not even good in what you do all the time. >The second you spawn in with a different class, the game ends with a loss. >As the only one who spawned, the other team comes in, kills you, then celebrates on your corpse. >For a second, you can only stare at your screen. "Okay, this game is stupid." >You exit out, then hop on over to something you're a little more used to. >Good 'ol Motor Leagu- >A black screen takes over the monitor. "What?" >You wait for a second, and text appears. >With a huff, you lie back. "Stupid UPDATES!" >Take an angry sip, and lean closer. "Can't just update when I'm sleeping, huh? Can't just NOT update! You stupid thing, I liked your old system BETTER!" >>Now what are you going to do with yourself? >Relaxing again, your hoof slowly reaches back into the bag. >You toss it into your mouth, but not after staring at it for a while. >The cheese it just... doesn't taste the same. >You roll it up for later, and wash down the chip with soda. >Meanwhile, the update barely reached one percent. >You huff again. >>Your whole life, all in one machine- what now? >Well, maybe you could draw or something? >>And spend hours making something terrible? >Practice does make perfect, though. >>Not when you have no skill. >Clicking your tongue, you spin around in your chair a little bit. >You notice how bright your screen is, the only light in the whole room. >And since the updating screen is black, it's even darker everywhere else. >Your eyes drift to a single corner, then quickly move away. >>Still scared of the dark? Pathetic. >No, there's nothing in your room, just you! >Ears swiveling around, the silence around you becomes deafening. >You reach a hoof over and turn the fan on. >Also the light. >Just, you never know. >Before you, all these empty bottles of cola, plastic plates and cups lying around. >>Sheesh, how filthy. Nopony normal would ever live like this. >Well, you're not normal. >And that's okay. >>Not when you're worse than normal. >>Having no Cutie Mark- you'll never be 'normal'. >You yawn and pop a few things again, taking another sip and trying to relax. >>Sitting in this chair, day after day, it's all you do. >That's not true, you- >>-What, go to the same place, buy the same thing, and run back, tail between your legs? >W-well, you don't need anything els- >>-The same food, the same drinks, the same routine. >>Days, weeks, months- do you even KNOW what day it is? >>Nopony cares about you, they don't know you exist- and that's all you do. >You take another sip, and find yourself staring at the top of the can for a moment. >>You know how bad these things are for you- but you don't care, do you? >Of course I d- >>Pudgy, dirty, tired all the time, of course you don't. >Well, that's- >>You don't talk to anypony, why should you take care of yourself, right? >>But nopony will care either way. >>They don't see an unwashed mane, a dirty coat. >>They see a failure, and a failure is all you are. >No, but there's still time, you're still yo- >>Young, and wasting all of your best years, festering in this single room that you call home. >>You had your time to change, and it passed. >>This is who you are now, and this is probably how you'll die. "NOT TRUE!" >Everything seems to go silent for a second. >Finishing the last of your soda, you hop out and move over to your window. >You slide it open and gaze out at the night sky, breathing in the fresh, cool night air. >Though you soon find yourself peering out at the town, all the houses around you. >Not a single light on. >>You share a sky with these ponies, walk on the same ground, but what are YOU doing with that? >Your focus turns back to the moon, and you stare at it, feeling a sort of calmness washing over you. >>Ignore the thoughts as you like. >>Tomorrow will be the same thing. >>Nopony is going to save you. >>Staying in your room all the time, what do you expect to happen? >>Some big, strong colt will just hop in through the door, whisk you away? >>Even if they did, who would want to stay with YOU? >>Never been with another pony, never take care of yourself- they wouldn't last long. >Eyes dropping from the sky towards the street below, you feel another shiver move down your back. >Your head floods with the same thoughts, over and over. >Slowly, a familiar feeling builds up. >The view before you becomes distorted and blurred. >>Go ahead, cry. >>You're only crying for yourself. >>Nopony cares, nopony will care. >>How could they, you never leave this room. >>Never make friends, never go out- "I-I t-tried!" >>And nopony accepts you. >>Right from the start, born without a purpose. >>Problems from the beginning, and even more now. >>What did you expect? >The tears finally start to flow, and you try to quiet your sobs. >>You look stupid when you cry. >>You sound stupid. >>Hay, you ARE stupid. >>You have nothing going for yourself. >>Terrible looks, terrible personality, intelligence that's average at best, no special talent. "S-STOP IT!" >Clamping your hoof around your muzzle, you slam the window shut. >You walk over and turn the monitor of your computer off, then jump into your bed. >>A foal in a mare's body. >>Go ahead, sleep. >>Nothing will change tomorrow, or ever. >>This is you, this is your life. >>This is what you were born to be. >>Nothing. >Getting situated under the blankets, you pull one of your pillows close, and hug it tight. >Another shiver rolls down, all the aches and pains in your body making themselves known while you shift around and try to get comfortable. >You wipe the tears away, and pull the blanket over yourself. >>Might as well lose that thought, Floor. >>You and I both know, it'll never happen. >>Not until you do it yourself. >>But you won't, will you? >>...Pathetic.
