HELLO Once again everypony... we continue with THE STORY!
Thursday, 26th January, 2011
What began as a normal day, turned out to be the day that changed my life forever. I woke up to my alarm on my phone going off to symbolise that another day is to be taken away by work. I woke up gingerly, rubbing my eyes to clear the sleep that was bugging me to go open the curtains. I shielded my eyes from the bright morning sun – bright morning sun? I had to do a double take to see if I wasn't seeing things. But the sun is something that you really can't miss. I stood there to take in the warmth of the morning sun and looked out my window. There was a factory close to my unit that had smoke always coming out of the chimney's, but a change in wind direction had pushed the smoke in a northerly direction, so the sun could come out and finally wish everyone a good morning. I hadn't seen the sun for a while, only on the occasional peak from a break in the clouds and the smoke. This I could say was for sure as my skin was pale, but not so pale that it made me look like a ghost. I thought to myself that this might be a good day for once.
While getting ready, I was always taking the chance to look out the window. I didn't have much to look at, but at least I had something to look out to. In the far distance, there was a mountain range, where I have dreamed of going to, but I just simply couldn't afford it. I had a car, but I could not afford to use it. But today I felt adventurous. I felt like exploring. I finally felt the confidence to break away for a day and be free.
I rang up my workplace saying that I couldn't come in because I was not feeling 100%. I managed to get the day off, so I packed some things for a trek up to the mountains. I packed the usual things that you would take, but I took something that was close to my heart, something that I had been doing since I was about 15. It was a notebook. A notebook that I had filled with drawings of My Little Pony Characters. Hand drawn sketches of Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy. They weren't the best drawings in the world, but I was never a good drawer; I had to use an image as a reference for a while, until I got confident. I didn't really have a favourite pony, but they were as close to my heart as my parents are. They keep me wanting to work and finish work and come home. It's something that I can use to keep my sanity.
I walked down to where my car was parked. It wasn't the best car someone could have at 30, but I had had it since I was 19. It was my first car that I had bought out of my own money: A 1999 Honda Civic. I had fixed up some of the small things that I had learned through other people and TV shows, but the major things the car I had to go to a mechanic. I got in the car and prayed that it started up. Most of the times ,99% of the times it doesn't start up, but on this occasion, it started. "Wow….That one precent. On today… must be my lucky day."
Luck. It's something that I don't have that often. Well, when I think about, hardly at all. As I looked down to think about it, I saw something that I could not believe. A $50 note. It was just sitting under the edge on my front right wheel. I bent down and hastily picked it up and put it in my pocket, knowing that someone might come around the corner to catch it. No one came running around the corner screaming, "THAT'S MY $50". I let out a sigh of relief and then smiled as now I had money to fill up my fuel tank. For some unknown reason, things were going my way. And I was loving it.
Well...Mr. Lucky pants... wish I found money like that... Highest I've found is $20... GOOD ENOUGH.. Will release Chapter 3 SOON :)
Also I would like to know how the story is panning out so far... I know that it is just the beginning, but just want to know if it fills in the story :) Thank you!
