Now I know. Know I know! Know I know!! I must head to the nearest town and restart my life, find a job, and finally live like I used to! That's the only way to stop me from doing... this. I started towards to the town hall to find a map. Then it figures i'd run into someone. "Hey where do you think your going little pony?" The stallion said. "I was just looking for a map..." I answered "Not in this life!" He yelled. He started right after me with his hoof going straight for my cheek, knocking me down. I promised i'd never hurt anyone again, but this guy is asking for it. So I bucked him in the stomach knocking him down. He lunged a piece of glass at me. I dodged it and grabbed a piece of wood, and I ran it straight down his neck. He screamed in pain. This particular sight made me a little sorry for him. He was bleeding all the down his neck. Now, back on my way.

I was at the steps of the town hall I saw blood running down the stairs. I knew someone else is here, and they're probably more mean then the last one. I quietly walked inside nothing but bodies and debris, but that wasn't long. One stallion in front of me and one behind me. This time it wasn't going to be so easy for me to fight both of these stallions. I ran at the in front of me knowing the one behind me would chase. I quickly bolted left as soon as I was in front of the mare. Causing both of them to collide. They stumbled to the floor lifting dust in the air. In the mess I quickly grabbed a map and ran out the door locking it behind me to slow them down. I ran down the nearest alley to escape them. I finally sat down by a broken down cart and checked the map. It was torn and had a blood stain on it. It looked pretty and decorated, yet it was covered in dust. The closest place is a little town east from here called... Ponyville.

I pulled my self together  and thought about the trip. I'd need food, water, and temporary shelter to cover my self. I was actually scared, i'd never left town and I wondered what would happen out there. I walked around town looking for the bakery to get some food, I found it but nothing was left. The sweets. The bread. All gone. I knew that know the bakery wasn't an option. I headed toward the apple farm. Luckily they had barrels of apples. I never liked apples, but I had to. I picked up a barrel and put it in a near cart. Now water. The lake was used to dispose of bodies so I scavenged the houses for water bottles. I'd found seven bottles. That would be good but i'd have to ration. So I grabbed a tent from my house, and was at the edge of town. The pale dirt road in front of me was lined with trees and grass. It was like walking down a wedding aisle.

I stood there and thought "Time to go."
