Flash Flood would wake, he opened his eyes as the light peeked through the cracks that were in between his cheap blinds over his window. Quickly standing up on his cloud bed he flapped his wings a few times to stretch out the kinks he gave himself from sleeping on his back.

"And its another wonderful day to be me" he said while trotting twards his bathroom. His home wasn't the largest but it wasn't small either. He worked I the unwanted weather department so he was paid well but generally shunned by other ponies for creating natural disasters.

He would walk into the bath room and look at himself in the mirror, he was taller than most ponies but still short of the height that Celestia stood at, however he was almost a foot and a half taller than most other ponies. His body was Jet black with green makings across his neck, back, legs, face, and flank. His wings were also black and for his eyes, they were a dark green like his markings, his mane and tail shared a similar color pattern but had the shape and style of ice shards. He enjoyed his look quite a lot in the vain manner that most people like him do. After the morning meal and several preparations he was ready to leave for the morning work

"Time flies when you have a wristwatch on a pegasus eh?" He said to himself, laughing at his own witty humor. His laugh quickly faded as once again he remembered he had no one to really talk too, and that talking to himself and laughing at his own jokes was only a painful reminder that he was, indeed, alone.

Several minutes would pass as he flew by buildings of various sizes, Clouds-Dale was a beautifully clean looking town and it was the crown jewel of all pegasi's honor to live in such a place. The clouds billowed around him, bending and shifting slightly in the back wind as he glided passed. Flash flood rather enjoyed these flights since he enjoyed the scenery so much. Lovely as it was however he had places to get to and very little time to get to them. Flapping his large wings he pushed the wind under him and twards the ground behind him which easily gave him a forward motion, and a fast one at that. Within minutes the factory would be in sight, and what a sight it was. It had rainbows pouring from every crevasse, dark thunder heads rising from the ceiling and lightning cracking across the sky but never striking anyone as this would be against the buildings initial design. He swiftly descended onto the landing platform and walked over to the time card station. Quick as a cat on fire he pulled out of the out, punched, and inserted into the in with his time card.

"One minute early again." he said with a sly smile before quickly realizing he was talking to himself again and shifted to a grim frown. He solemnly tromped away from the time card station and checked his designated clip board on the wall next to the station for his daily assignment -Pegasus 13-7-6 is to report to ACID RAIN DUTY upon arrival- He sighed, they could at least use his bloody name for heavens sake. Tossing the clip board onto the ground he grabbed one of the XXL lab coats off the walls on the hanger and a LARGE hard hat. He truly believed that other ponies laughed at him for being so "Fat" as they said, even though he was just a larger proportioned pony compared to them and was actually quite muscular. Even with this on his mind he still had to work and he did enjoy having bits to spend on Apple pie from his weekly visits to Sweet Apple Acres and a house was a nice side benefit.

Quickly shuffling into the UNWANTED WEATHER section he stopped once he was inside the door and took a deep breath and let it out slowly, he really did hate acid rain with a passion, it always messed with his coat and he broke out into rashes if he got any on him. He had to do it, but it didn't mean he couldn't complain while he was at it. Several hours of mixing acid vapor from a large glass vat of acid (since any other material would dissolve) and water vapor from a large metal water container to make acidic rain clouds he would hear the loud buzzing ring like sound of the break bell

"Ah swell, now I get to stick my acid covered dirty hooves all over my food now." He muttered, it was common knowledge to everyone that the workers didn't get enough time to wash AND eat so they had to choose one of the two. In most occasions it was the latter of the two. He would turn to shut off the vapor leave that allows the materials to combine and two pegasus would slide into the room using it as a shortcut to get to the cafeteria and be able to eat as soon as possible

"Dude hurry we gotta get there so we can actually eat today" Said one as he dashed by, far ahead of his female counterpart who was flapping her wings wildly to help gain speed.

"Dude! Stop calling me dude!" she said, right before she slipped. As she landed she slip in a seeming unnatural manner, limbs spread out in a perfect X as she skidded into the acid tank support beams. A loud pop quickly ensued as the glass fractured, leaving long spider web cracks up the structure.

"DUDE LOOK OUT!" Yelled the first pony as suddenly the container burst, releasing it contents directly onto Flash Flood.

'Aghh Celestia help me!"

Pain...So much pain flooded him. His fur, legs, tail, neck, and mostly his face and eyes which was hit directly by the liquid. Pure industrial grade Acid drenched him as he screamed a blood curdling cry that would spook even the darkest of Night Mares. Searing agony that seemed to penetrate into his very soul...and then he slipped into darkness as his consciousness left him...
