[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

This is a short story that goes a little deeper into my OC's background. i cut alot of the story off mostly because it was to bloody for the forums. Without further ado here it is:

 Long trail to Solitude

Jack yellled out as his father took his last breath and fell to the ground. The bandits who his
father was working with were actually bounty hunters. Jack’s father,  John was a bad guy. He robbed everyone and
killed whoever got in his way. Jack’s mother was murdered shortly after  giving birth to Jack. John raised Jack the
best he could, but even that wasn’t enough to prepare him for a life of
solitude.

                The bounty hunters walked away withot saying a word. They only laughed and talked about how to spend the coin reward for John.  Jack then crawled
to his dad and tried to see if he was still alive. “You might have been an
awful man, but you were the only thing I had.” 
Jack took his fathers possesions and walked off into the horizon.

    Eight years have passed since that day. Jack who was now eighteen years old was his own man. He walked the great wide open alone and bitter. Aside from the occasional wanderer and
whoever sat next to him at a local saloon, Jack had no interaction with other
people. The story with him, according to the towns ponies,went like this:  Jack was the same as his father the infamous
John.

                Jack respected his father , but  not his work. When people started to say things like that he had the idea to take up his dad’s name to restore honor to it. The job was tough and nearly impossible, but he knew that he had to do it for his father. Jack tried to make friends with the
towns ponies but with no avail. Jack spent months trying to be a model citizen
but only a handful of ponies ever gave him a chance.

                Jack starts to get more social with each passing week.  The ponies start to warm up to him, but he is still spiteful  towards them. They didn’t give him a chance at first but now they wanted to be his friend. Jack was confused by this and reacted the only way he knew, drinking and swearing.

Jack now spends his days getting into weird situations and trying to find people that
understand him. He never forgets his days he spent alone on the great wide open.
