>Be Anon. >You are sitting on the floor. >Your hands pressed into your face you rest against the hard, cold wall. >Through your fingers you see the pale blue light from the monitor, not strong enough to brighten the room. >More of a night light than anything. >The music from the speakers is some sad pop shit. >Just a girls voice singing about love or loss or something. >You take a sip from your half-empty beer. >It's number five. >You started drinking again. >Alone. >Just after you got everything you thought you needed. >A job you like, the posessions you thought you wanted and with being in home-office you evade all the fucks at work and save time and gas. >Not enough money to feel rich but enough money and time to follow your passions. >You don't even feel the need for vacation. >And yet you feel empty. >Not even the booze is doing it anymore. >You know you are drunk but you feel strangely sober. >Why do you feel so shitty when everything is working out fine? >The most contact with other people you have is through emails and the clerks at the store. >All your friends are busy. >If they still consider you a friend. >Can't blame them if they don't. >You never were much of a friend. >When asked out you went out of politeness. >Was it politeness? >Gotta love yourself before you can love others. >And now people don't really do friendship anymore. >People do families or acqaintaces now. >People function. >You function. >But not right. >More like a stuttering enginge of a truck, pulling a load it should not pull, tires loosing track and blowing black smoke out of the exhaustion pipe. >You leave you beer on the floor and get up. >There is some cheap wine in the kitchen you got with pizza you ordered something. >Was it with the steaks or the pizza? >Doesn't matter. >You don't even care about pizza anymore. You don't like burgers anymore. >It's all so worn out. You could some tasteless grey mush it wouldn't make any difference. >You stumble into the kitchen and take a look at the sink wondering if you should drink some water. >Less headache tomorrow. >But also less drunk today. >You can sleep till 10 no problem and nobody notices or cares as long as you do your work tomorrow. >You open the cheap wine and take a swig. >You shake yourself from the intense sweetness. >God this is disgusting. >But it is something. >You should order the sweetest wine you can find. >You take another big gulp. >Be headache. >The buzzing of the doorbell wakes you from your slumber or black-out. >You try to raise your head off the sticky floor. >The music is still playing. >Slowly get up tring not to vomit. >The bell rings again. >You press your hands into your face. "Fuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkk! I'm coming!" >One wonky step at a time you make your way towards the door. >A delivery guy rushes inside with a big fucking smile and a giant packet on a wheeler. >You have never seen a delivery guy this cheerful. >Delivery guys should not be cheerful. >There are laws against this. >Shaking your head you ask yourself why the fuck he is in your appartment. "Your packet, sir!" >Taking the papers out of his hand you sign on the blurred line. "What time is it?" >"Quater past nine." >Still in time for work. Nice. >He takes the papers out of you hand and gives you a little bow. >The fuck? >Not sure if you like or hate this. >"Thank you for shopping at Equis Sales and have a nice day, Sir!" "Yeah, sure, whatever." >He turns around walks out with a spring in his step. >You decide that whatever you ordered can wait, time for a beer to fight the hangover. >So you fetch a beer out of the fridge and take a big gulp to counter the worst effects. >"Jerome, are we there yet," a high pitched voice asks. >That's not in your playlist. >"Jerome?" >You turn around as fast as your headache allows. "Are we there yet?" >You slowly approach the paket. >"Anybody there?" >You give the paket a small shove. >"Hey, who are you?" "Who THE FUCK are YOU!?" "What the fuck are you doing in my flat? What the FUCK are you doing in a box?" "Fuck this!" >You take a massive gulp from your beer. >You are too fucking sober or too fucking drunk to deal with talking packages. >"Hey, are you still there?" "Shut up, I'm trying to get drunk!" >"Can you let me out of this box, please?" "Not until I had my second beer." >"Please?" "Not until you tell me who you are and why this guy wheeled you into my living room!" >"I am Pinky Pie and you ordered me, silly." "What?" >"Pinkamena Diane Pie" >You rush over to your computer with wonky steps. >Your emails are open. >Dear customer ... yadda yadda ... thanks for putting trust in our ... yadda yadda ... invoice is attached... best regards Equis Sales >You hear this Pinko or whatever push against the inside of the cardbox. >"Are you still there? Please let me out!" >Click. "Holy fuck!" >You turn around and rip open the box. >Out comes one of the tiny horses that are all over the news. >The pink little fuck looks up at you and grins. >"Hi, I'm Pinky Pie, your new slave! >You empty the rest of the beer. "What?" >"Im Pinky, it's a pleasure to meet you!" >The pink little pony extands an arm. Or a leg? How do ponies acutally work? >You look at her extended appendix and slowly extend you arm to grab it. >Her hooves grab your hand and she starts shaking it. >Violently. "Pink! Stop!" >Ohh shit your gonna vomit all over her! "Stop! I'm gonna throw-" >You rip your head to the left and vomit some foam on the floor. >"I have never seen such greeting!" "Shut up," you say wiping your mouth with your forearm. >Looking at the pubble on the floor you mourn for the lost beer. >You exhale sharply. >Okay. >You raise a finger at her, "YOU stop moving, stop doing anything until I say otherwise!" >"Okie dokie lokie!" >You a grab a dishtowel and wipe up the puddle you left on the ground. >The salty, sour smell almost makes you vomit again. >You open a window to get let some fresh air in. >You take a quick shower. >To your amazement the pony is still sitting right where you left her when you step out of the shower. >You dress up and take your last beer out of the fridge and take a small sip. >No experiments. >Back in the living room you face her. "Okay what is your name again?" >"Pinkamena Diane Pie, but everyone call me Pinky Pie or Pinky for short." "Hello Pinky, I am Anon but I won't shake your hand... or hoov. This is my last beer." >"Oh beer! Can I have some too?" "I'll order some later." >You take a deep breath. "Can you clean stuff?" >The pony nods with a wide grin. "This is unfair of me since I made the mess but would you do me a solid and clean the floor? It's sticky and I don't want stains." >"No problem, master!" "Ohh yes, so you are my slave now?" >"Yes! Also do you want to be my friend?" "I guess.." >Suddenly Pinky jumps up in joy and hugs you. "Stop, stop, stop! Pinky stop!" >This feels weird. >Not bad though. "Let go, pony!" >The pony lets you go instantly and plants her behind on the ground. "Okay," you take a deep breath, "follow me". >You show her the cleaning untensils under the sink. "Can you work with this?" >"Absolutely!" "Okay please clean a little and keep silent, I have to work. I will get to you once I have time." >She salutes. >"Will do, master!" >You scrath your neck as you look down at this creature. "Allright." >You get over to your computer and lauch your workspace. >"Anon, bright and early! This is what I like about you," your boss says. "Doing my best, sir." >"You don't look so good Anon, is everything allright." "I'm perfectly fine." >"You really don't look well." "It's no problem, really."
