//------------------------------// // The First Misadventure- // Story: HorseShoes and Hand Grenades // by Mother3Forever //------------------------------// I woke up feeling rather sore, but refreshed all the same. Reaching up to rub the sleep from my eyes, my hands came into contact with something. Namely, my glasses. I guess they just left them on this time. I sat up, groggy from the long rest. Yawning loudly, I made my way out of the room I had been sleeping in. Turning the knob, I pushed the door open, or rather, I tried to. It took me a second, but I eventually realized it was a Pull door. Walking into the hallway I noticed I was in an unfamiliar house. It looked to be kind of, well.....kind of like something you'd see farmers living in. I was standing next to a set of stairs leading downwards as soon as I left my room, and I was currently in a hallway with about 4 doors and some other little things. Deciding not to snoop around the house, I made my way down the stairs. Halfway down, however, I got a surprise. A Large, Red Stallion stood at the bottom, looking out through a window. Okay, my curiosity gotten me in trouble before, but really... What harm could come of saying hi? I cautiously walked up behind the guy, before opening my mouth and saying two simple words. "Um, hi there." There was only a split second before I saw his back hooves plant themselves into my gut and send me flying backwards.... Right into a fabric and blanket closet. Note to self..... "Never sneak up on a horse with hooves the size of my head."
