Everything that’s happened so far plays over and over in your mind. From waking up in the Everfree Forest to being in the library’s basement. Trying to survive in that supernatural wild was hell, not only from trying to find food, water, and shelter, but from the boredom. The days seemed to start blurring together, but each minute felt like forever. Your phone had no signal and using it for entertainment drained the battery, so you shut it off. Maybe the hospital still has it and all your other things. This bandaging needs to come off and maybe changed soon. At least you’re in a bed, unlike the forest. There was a small refuge using some sort of castle ruins. It gave a sense of civilization, even though you couldn’t comprehend the things etched in stone. That was the second clue that you weren’t on Earth. Unable to get comfortable and even running away from monsters with no idea what was going on made you feel Kafkaesque. There was even some sort of purple sea serpent that you saw while taking a drink from a stream. How much of a squishy defenseless fleshbag you are is prevalent, after seeing what you have and knowing there’s magic here. At least the ponies are nice. Thankfully you won’t have to stay here and find a way to adapt. Wolves that looked like they were made of tree chased you, some sort of twelve foot giant nearly crushed you, and you ate berries that caused a psychedelic trip after it tried to eat you. There’s more, but you switch thoughts.
 
Thank God you finally found that apple orchard. Those apples were great, even after those berries started to kick in. Applejack needs to be compensated for those, somehow. She had a whole farm full of them, a few for yourself wasn’t going to hurt, but it’s probably the principle of the matter. Rarity needs to be paid back too. She said she’s going to work on those shoes, need to make sure they’re right. Ponies have hooves, you have bare feet that are currently dirty and could have been injured. How are you going to? Farm work is possible, if you can get on the apple pony’s good side, Rarity said something about using your size as an advantage, and the guard talked about a town bulletin board. Maybe your previous job experiences can lead you in the right direction.
 
Well, that is if you don’t return home before you get a chance to. Awaiting the Princess’s response makes you feel powerless, and that means you need to fill your time up with something besides nothingness. Need to be a poster human for your species. Oh man, Earth isn’t going to take another planet full of sentient life easily. Twilight is so ecstatic about merging the two that she doesn’t even question what could go wrong. Might have to either tell her how humans could react, or Celestia… or you could ask for them not to connect the two worlds. Just send you there and leave it alone.
 
…what if you can’t get home? That can’t be true, they have magic after all. Surely you’ll see your friends and family again… what are they doing right now? Could they already of had a funeral for you? Better not have given all your stuff away. What would you be remembered for? Here lies Anonymous… something something something. How are you going to explain it? Oh, I was in a place full of magical ponies that fly and worship a living sun goddess. They’ll totally buy that. The government could detain you and interrogate everything out of you… with torture… no, don’t think about that. It makes you shudder, better not go to sleep on bad thoughts… what would it be like? A Life in Ponyville…
 
 
That’s the end of the introductory chapter. Hopefully you all enjoyed it. This first one is sort of constricted and slow, but I guarantee it’ll funnel out with freedom as Anon gets more defined and he learns more about Equestria and speed up as we get faster with practice. If you want to discuss this, positively or negatively, head to the meta thread. The next chapter will be linked there also.
