The Tale Tell Pinkie

When I had made an end of these labors, it was four o'clock --still dark as midnight. As the bell sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the street door.
I went down to open it with a light heart, --for what had I now to fear?
There entered Three Ponies, who introduced themselves, with perfect suavity, as officers of the police.
In my eye-corner i saw Fluttershy,Twilight,Rainbow,Rarity,Spike and Applejack Standing behind the police-ponies.

A shriek had been heard by Twilight and Fluttershy during the night; suspicion of foul play had been aroused; information had been lodged at the police office, and they (the officers) had been deputed to search the premises.

I smiled, --for what had I to fear? I bade the Ponies welcome into the apartment .
The shriek, I said, was me in a dream.
Derpy, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search --search well.
I led them, at length, to my Friends chamber.
I showed them her beloved treasures, mails, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence,
I pushed some chairs into the room with my hooves, and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.

The officers were satisfied.
My manner had convinced them. I was singularly at ease and Filt With Happyness and joy just like my Pinkie-side felt always. They sat, and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of familiar things.
But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone.
My head ached, and I fancied a ringing in my ears: but still they sat and still chatted.
The ringing became more distinct: --It continued and became more distinct: I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and gained definiteness --until, at length, I found that the noise was not within my ears.

No doubt I now grew very pale; --but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice.
Yet the sound increased --and what could I do,what would pinkie do?
It was a low, dull, quick sound --much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton.
I gasped for breath --and yet the officers heard it not.
I talked more quickly like i used to do,but my voice fainted under the sound of the ringing--more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased.

Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men --but the noise steadily increased.

Oh Celestia! what could I do? I foamed --I raved --and I swore!

I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased.
It grew louder --louder --louder!
And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled.
Was it possible they heard not? Almighty Celestia!
--no, no! They heard! --they suspected! --they knew! --they were making a mockery of my horror!-this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony!

Anything was more tolerable than this derision!
I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer!
I felt that I must scream or die!
and now --again! --hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!

"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here!

--It is the beating of Derpy´s hideous heart!"

And now i sit here...
In this darn jail!
IM NOT MAD,DO YOU HEAR ME!!!--Smacks hoof against the glass jail-window--

TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?

-THE END-
