Title: Stan Marsh Takes a Walk

Premise & Disclaimer: South Park. Stan takes a walk through town thinking about how bad things are. Didn't identify a specific problem because I couldn't think of one. It's probably along the lines of what normally goes wrong in South Park. Song: "I've Got to Find a Way" From MLP: FIM. I don't own the song or these two series. I do not profit from this.

Personal Comments: So I came up with this idea one day during Finals Week in College as I was working on my final paper for one of my english courses. I felt like I was in this position and this song was stuck in my head because I felt kind of hopeless. I made a plan to take a walk through my hometown one day while playing this music. Still not sure if I want to do that. Might be a waste of time.

For a while, I thought of using Madoka Magica, for this, putting Homura in this role. I think it would be good for an AMV on YouTube as well. But then I was thinking about South Park. There have been a few episodes where Stan would take a walk with a montage and some music, and I thought he'd be good for this.

Sun is setting outside, although it's only 3:25 PM. In the winter and late fall, it feels like there's a 5-hour sunset going from 1 to 5PM.

Stan shut the door, took a deep breath, and let out a sigh. He the put his hands in his pockets and his head down, and started walking down the sidewalk, occasionally glancing up and staring blankly ahead. He could not get over what had happened, so many people were hurt. And to think it was all his fault.

I have to find a way

To make this all okay.

He continued to walk down the sidewalk. People passed him by. Some kids, some adults, each going about their business. Some knew what had happened, and glared at him.

I can't believe this small mistake

Could've caused so much heartache.

Oh why, oh why?

He wandered aimlessly through Town, past all the stores, through the town square with the fountain, around some of the most iconic stops.

Losing promise

I don't know what to do.

At one point he made it to a bridge and stared down into the water, up at his reflection.

Seeking answers

I fear I won't get through to you

Oh why, oh why?

He finally found himself sitting on a bench in the park.
