Chapter 1 - Bad Company

A company,
Always on the run.
A destiny,
Towards the rising sun.
I was born six-gun in my hand,
Behind a gun, I'll make my final stand.
That's why they call me...
Bad Company. I can't deny,
Bad Company, until the day I die. until the day I die. until the day I die...

Rebel souls. Deserters we've been called,
Chose a gun and threw away the sun.
Now these towns, they all know our name.
Six gun sound is our claim to fame.
I can hear them say...
Bad Company, and I won't deny.
Bad. Bad Company, until the day I die. until the day I die...

Hey hey, Bad Company, I can't deny...
Bad Company, until the day I die.
It's Bad Company. Oh yeah yeah.
Bad Company, until the day I die.

Till the day I die Oh Yeah Tell me that you are not a thief
Oh But I am
Bad Company
It's the way I play
Dirty for dirty
Oh Somebody Double-crossed me
Double-cross
Double-cross
Yeah
We're Bad company
Kill in cold blood

Five Finger Death Punch - Bad Company

I was falling.

That was all I knew, my eyes were closed, but I could feel the wind on my skin as I fell. I opened my eyes but the howling wind forced me to press them shut, scrunching up my face.

It was actually a somewhat pleasant experience; I was weightless but still able to perceive gravity.

As I fell, my thoughts drifted to the moments before my fall. To my surprise I could not remember. There was a blank spot in my memory the seemed to go on for days. All the way back to… back to…. Oh god I couldn’t remember anything. I began to panic, but I was interrupted by a single thought. Cutting through my mental turmoil like a knife. I was falling, falling. I flailed my limbs around for a second and once again tried to open my eyes. All I saw was some kind of green blur before…

Pain filled my body as I landed on something rough, and yet soft. My jacket was twisted under me. It was uncomfortable but I didn’t want to move, I was too sore.

“Wow, are you ok there mister?” a high-pitched voice sounded next to me.

With a groan I lifted myself off the ground and look for the speaker.

“Yeah yeah, I’m ok” I mumbled as I rose. The pain in my side was getting worse, it felt as though my ribs were trying to force their way out through my chest.

I turned around, but there was no one there, ‘hearing things already, really?’ as I turned back to find out where I was. A horse, yeah that’s right, a FUCKING PINK HORSE jumped up to me and said “Hiya! I’m Pinkie Pie, what’s your name?”

My brain was overheating slightly, I’m pretty sure there was steam coming out of my ears. Its eyes were boring into mine; it felt as though they were staring into my soul.

I suddenly found the situation very funny, and proceeded to laugh my ass off. The pain in my side was becoming worse; I looked down at my chest and saw a bump appear on my left side, right across my ribs. Red blossomed across my chest; it took me a moment to realize that it was my blood. I stopped laughing, and looked back up at the horse, who now wore a concerned expression.

I managed to mumble, two words before I blacked out.

“Well shit “

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke slowly, my eyes barely cracking open before I felt the irresistible urge to close them again.

So I lay there, just enjoying the feeling of being in bed. 'Wow, that was once crazy fucking dream' I thought to myself as I curled a little further into the blanket.

However, as I rolled over, I felt a sharp stinging pain in my left arm. I sat up quickly and opened my eyes, my mind whirling with shock. I was in a hospital room, labels in a strange language were stamped over the various machines lining the walls.

I looked down, and discovered the source of my previous discomfort. A large, wicked looking needle was jabbing into the soft flesh of my inner elbow.

'What the fuck?!? I immediately thought to myself. The needle was attached to a long IV drip leading up to a bag of some transparent liquid hung on a pole.

I grabbed the blanket that draped over me, bunched it up, and bit down on the soft material.

Leaning down, I grabbed the back of the IV needle, held my breath, and pulled. The pain was excruciating, but finally the syringe came free. I threw it across the room and lay back on the bed, confused beyond what I knew was possible.

As I was about to get up and see just what the fuck I had gotten myself into, the door opposite the bed where lay opened. What walked through it was enough to send a shiver down my spine. The pink horse from my dream was here, IT WAS FUCKING REAL.

Now I’m not exactly proud of what I did next. I freaked, jumped out of the bed and ran into the corner of the room. Only then did I notice that I was still wearing all of my clothes, even my shoes. Only my jacket was missing, but I soon noticed it on a chair by the door.

Deciding it wasn’t worth going near the horse to get it I shrank into the corner.

“What the Fuck?!” I shouted, not really caring who heard me.

The horse looked at me with excited eyes.

“Yippee! You’re awake!” it squealed in a high-pitched voice.

“What the fuck happened?! I must have taken some crazy shit.” I half-yelled.

“I don’t know what you mean by that, but now we can have a Hoary-You-Are-Awake-And-Not-Dead-Yet- party!” The pink horse said. Its smile literally bigger than its face.

Yeah, that’s right, bigger than ITS FUCKING FACE!

As it walked toward me, a loud crash sounded from the other side of the wall behind my head.

“SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ANNOYING FUCKS!” Both the horse and I looked to the wall.

When I looked back however, it was gone.

I let out a relieved sigh. I had been hallucinating after all. I trudged over to the chair and retrieved my jacket. Pulling it on I took a step toward the door.

But I could go no further; I stumbled as the strangest feeling overtook my entire body. Somewhat tingling, but also like warm water.

I planted my hand on the wall to steady myself. The feeling intensified, but not in my hand, the hand that I had pressed to the wall felt completely normal. I looked at it in confusion, I shouldn’t have, my very flesh was dissipating, like sand being blown away by some unseen wind.

The effect quickly spread to the rest of my body, I stared at it in wonder.

My vision darkened and I was gone.
