Through the wormhole

a different place

“Man, I hope this works” I think to myself the oval of metal plugged in to my new laptop.

I pushed my transformer wagon through the portal and it disappeared right in front of my eyes.
I was stunned as I didn’t expect it to work since there was no visual effect inside the portal I then threw my gasoline and my sleeping bag through I took on my backpack my thin coat on and prepared to go through.

I first tried to put my lower arm trough at first, when I saw my arm disappear I got scared but I still felt that my arm was attached to the rest of my arm at the elbow, the place my arm was, was warm and cozy, I tried to retract my arm but I couldn’t, I was locked in the position or I could go through.
I had my cell phone on me and I tried to get it out of my pants pocket to write a message to my friends, when they got it they came straight to over to me, when they got inside they looked terrified when they saw me standing with half of my arm missing in the portal that still did look like nothing was happening, they tried to pull me out when they accidently pulled my shoulder out of its socket, they gave up and considered cutting the power, but before they did I told them that it would probably cut off my arm (my right arm and I’m a righty).

I decided that I would go through and I told them that I would probably not return but I will try and make contact, due to me not being able to pull my arm out I concluded that it was a one way portal, I didn’t want to go and still I wanted to, thoughts flooded my head as I almost panicked; “what would my friends do?, what will my family think? No my family doesn’t care about me then I don’t care about them!, what will happen to the portal?, would the government try and get its long and nasty fingers on it?”
I rang my girlfriend and told her to get her ass moving and come to me, my friends left as my girlfriend arrived with a look of horror on her face as she saw me.
I told her to unplug the portal when I was completely through, sadly I also had to tel her that I wouldn’t be coming back, we both cried in each other’s arms I also told her that she couldn’t come with me as I didn’t know what was in there, she told me that she was going to be sad for months, I then told her that she shouldn’t be as I would probably survive but be out of reach for an unknown amount of time, I also said that she should take good care of herself and the portal MUST remain hidden, or at least she should make a huge amount of money off of it as she could sell it to anyone she would like but she must tell the person she sold it to that is only was a one way portal
The portal that enveloped my arm was slightly buzzing and I decided the time was neigh I said “remember that the portal only has a 1 in 1000000000000 to open a portal to the same place twice and the chance of it being in the sky is 33.33% the same with being able to spawn underground and on the ground, that divided with the chance of actually being a place where there is air and survivability for humans” I turned my face away to go through the portal, as I went through the portal I felt a surreal tinkling sensation where the portal touched my skin

I came through with my eyes closed in fear of what I might find, I noted that the orange glow I saw through my eyelids was fading as I went through the portal, that had me thinking about the fact that I had a chance to be under ground
The thought was quickly wiped from my mind when I felt a slight breeze that meant I was on ground since I wasn’t falling as soon as I was through the portal, I slowly opened my eyes to look upon the new world.

It was a dark and warm, but beautiful, there seemed to be more color, the moon was different from what I was used to, it was bigger, more yellow and it seemed at it had almost no craters in it.
I was in the middle of nowhere I couldn’t see anything for miles, except something that looked like a train track but with golden beams instead of iron, I stared for a while and began to walk.
I was around 2 and a half kilometer from where I started when I suddenly heard a familiar sound behind me, the sound of metal against metal in a grinding motion I turned to see an old fashioned train with a single light in the front.
The wheels started squealing and the train slowed down, stopping me dead in my tracks I was surprised that the train would stop anywhere else than its station, I then turned to get a good look at the train thinking that it was weird to see a train in pink.

Next thing I know there is a grey conductor pony asking me what the hell I am in a southern accent almost matching Applejack’s but in a male version, my thoughts was exactly: “you’re kidding right? I am probably just sleeping” I looked confused at the stallion asking If he had never seen anything like me before to that he answered “of course not you are not from here are you??”
To that I could only answer with a question: “and where exactly is ‘here’??”
“well exactly right now you’re in the middle of nowhere” he said with a grin “but if you’ll help me shovel coal then I’ll give you a ride to Appeloosa”
“You are telling me that I am in equestria??” I asked already knowing it
“juuuup where’d you think you were ?” he said kinda like Big Macintosh only putting the empathies on the ‘u’ instead of the ‘e’
“Could you do me a favor after that I promise I will help you?” I asked in disbelief
“It depends” he answers sounding a bit nervous
“Could you be so very kind as to slap me as hard as you can in my face?”
He answered in a surprised and confused voice “uuuuh you’re weird … why would you want me to do that?”
“Because I think I’m dreaming!” I said loudly, almost screaming
The stallion panicked and slapped me, I felt the excruciating pain spread across my right cheek clearly crushing my cheekbone with his hooves “I didn’t expect hooves to hurt THAT much” I thought to myself, groggy from the slap I took my stuff and boarded the train while asking “is this train by any chance going past Ponyville?”
The conductor pauses what he is doing and answers “how come you don’t know you’re in Equestria but you want to go to one of the local cities that almost nopony has ever heard of?”
