Anon is at the end of his rope. Just as he is about to end it all, a mysterious party intervenes. He soon finds himself in the life of an amnesiac pony with a doting sister.
Foul mouthed protagonists are often bad enough on their own, but writing this in 2nd person only makes it much more painful to read. The notion behind 2nd person POV is that the reader should be able to easily interject them into the situation, but this person, thus far as presented in this first chapter, is so far from most folks that it fails. 2nd person, poor choice. As is the constant cursing for seemingly no reason, or reasons that quite honestly don't require such. Tossing about profanities to this casual degree implies that the individual is going to be the same or worse throughout the story, and who wants any part of something like that? I certainly don't.
8004529 You win some, you lose some. It's all good. This story may not be to everyone's taste, and I realize that starting off, it might seem somewhat like what you described. Yes, the story may be dark in terms of content here and there, but rest assured the entire story is not written like that, at least in terms of continual cursing and behaving in such a manor. Yes, there are swears here and there, and it might seem like that’s how the character will always behave based on what’s in chapter zero, but the protagonist does not stay that way throughout the entire story. They do change, quite significantly as a matter of fact. Just think of chapter zero as a background intro to the story. Rest assured, things do pick up after this chapter.
A chill creeps through your body and you clutch hard on your revolver for safety, even though you were going to use it to kill yourself. It’s still not too late to do that, but you at least wanted to know what the fuck was going on.

Ooh! First line of the story!
