So Alone

Entry 2

Day 1

Red Skies

After I had gone on my little 'walk', I went home. I hastily closed the door and locked it when I got there, making sure to lock both latches. I slowly slid down the door and onto my rump where I sat for about ten minutes. I thought of what was happening. Everypony was gone. They had all just vanished without a trace. I clutched my chest and began breathing heavily.

All of my friends were gone.

My parents.

My colleagues.

Everything.

I even began assuming that the princesses were gone. Is that why the moon was still up? And red?

My chest began hurting. My breathing was getting faster and more shallow. It was soon enough that I realized that I was having a panic attack. I held a hoof over my chest and tried to slow my breathing, but I just couldn't. I just couldn't accept the fact that everypony that I ever cared about was gone off the face of Equestria.

Why me? Why was I left behind? I suddenly began to feel light headed and dizzy. My vision blurred as I fell to my side and hit the glossy wooden floor with a thud.

I was out for a while, fainted on the cold wooden floor of my old home. I woke up two or three hours later in a mess of tears and sweat. I'd been in a cold sweat and sobbing in my sleep. My eyes were pink puffy messes. Hoisting myself up onto my hooves, I opened the door again and took a look outside.

Maybe it had all been a dream?

Opening the door I looked outside expecting a normal day, the ponies in my neighborhood playing and tending to business. But instead, I saw that same eerie emptiness and the blood red moon sitting in the sky, the sun overshadowing it. I turned back around and slammed the door before running into my living room and throwing myself onto the couch.

The soft, yet firm cushions encased my face, leaving me in a sort of bliss for a second or two. I hefted my head out of the comfortable solitude that was my hole in the couch before grabbing my remote with a swift swipe of my hoof and turning on the TV.

It flickered on with a bit of static like usual and then switched to a screen full of different sized bars in a variety of colors with a sharp tone ringing from the speakers. A groan escaped my lips as I dropped the remote onto the floor.

I lay there in self pity, that same highly pitched sound floating around the room.
