a mad pony writes a diary

one and a half years ago a pony committed a string of murders. The situation seemed simple 'find the pony and lock him away' but then it became much more complex than anypony could imagine. The perpetrator was innocent... and guilty, so left with no choice he was sent to a mental institution and this is his diary of his time there.

(this is my first story and will be part of a larger series but as it is my first i am open to constructive and a little bit of harsh criticism)

the basics

At first, there was darkness, and it was good, tranquil and peaceful, But then there was the ringing, that blaring, loud, constant ringing, dragging me out of my 'somewhat' peaceful slumber, it was the first thing I had heard every day for the past year or so, so I knew the routine:step 1.get annoyed step 2. try to ignore it step.3 fail step 4.give up and step 5.get up. At this point I'd have the same old thought 'do they really find me so dangerous that they have to have an alarm go off every time I wake up?' 'I mean I haven't hurt anypony' 'In here' 'well there was that one psychiatrist who I sorta, well...ate...to a degree, but it wasn't my fault because: 1.she didn't believe a word I said and 2. I wasn't in control at that moment, but I'm getting off subject. Next on my 'to do list' was-to-umm actually it's right about this point I would get very bored as there was nothing to do in this small 'house' of such, BUT at some points during the month my 'friend' would come and visit me, though I wouldn't really call him a friend considering he was the one who put me in here, but I thank him for that, it prevents 'the other one' from hurting anypony, I'd rather not talk about him, but again going off topic. When he visits me we talk, usually, just talk but at other times when I'm really hyper-active we play games like hide and seek, I really love that one and when I'm a bit more 'down' and sad that's when we'll usually just talk, but that's a bit rare because when he visits I'm always happy even if he isn't, I still try to be and sometimes it's me cheering up him!, but that's even more rare! Now between you and me i think my other side really doesn't like his appearance, his snow white coat, jet black and navy blue mane and tail, his ice blue eyes and his wings...uh 'wing', as whenever he even catches even a glimpse of him he goes insane 'apparently' but yet AGAIN off subject (I need to stop doing that).

Wow I just basically told you my daily routine and I haven't even told you my name. I am called Newbe (neew-bay), just Newbe, that's what my friend and his friends decided to call me and if in case your wondering 'what on earth does that name even mean' then wonder no more, 'Newbe' is short for 'New being', but maybe I'l talk about that some other time. If your wondering what i look like then you shouldn't be as I'm pretty much grey-scale, my coat is a very dull grey, one half on my mane is pretty much the same whilst the other is pretty much closer to black, the only thing in me that even has colour is my eyes, there a very deep blue most of the time but sometimes they turn a very vibrant purple and when it does it means I'm very dangerous and not 'myself', I also don't even remember what I did after they stop being that way. But I don't like to talk about as it makes me depressed very quickly.

My friend that I was talking about is Ethro (ee-throw) Cloudsdine (clouds-deen). He has one of the same problems as me but its far less severe, so that's a plus for him, Because of his condition his mood can be a little erratic, such as sometimes he'll be perfectly happy before just randomly turning sad and quiet almost instantly, he also seems to see things that ponies say aren't there, not many ponies believe it's the same condition as mine but i believe him, i can just feel it.

Ethro has other friends but i don't know much about them, so i'll just give you the 'low-down' as they call it:

First there's a male unicorn named 'Kody', 'Lemburst', What sort of name is that! 'Lemburst', it's ridiculous! I don't have many good things to say about him either, damn pony can't see two feet in front of him, 'blind as a bat' you might say, but I must say the blind idiot isn't too bad a cook...somehow.

Next you've got 'Drowsy Nyu' I swear the names just get weirder and weirder, he's a really strange pony, a Pegasus pony with bright red eyes, mane and tail, nothing strange about that right? But I swear I've seen him picking things up without being near it! now I know how easy it is not to believe me considering I'm in an asylum an all but I almost never lie. Magic without a horn i say, magic without a horn.

Lastly we have 'Eclipse Moonblood', which I must say, isn't as weird, but more 'interesting' I suppose. She is a 'difficult' one to describe, I'm not really sure what to say as I saw even less of her, but I will try my best from the tiny amount I know.

She's a female unicorn who has something close to a jet black coat, with one half of her mane the same colour and the other snow white. From what I could gather on the outside she had a generally kind and sweet personality...but I could 'feel' something different on the inside, something darker and evn dangerous (between you and me she scares even me)

I hope that was 'informative' enough for you, and hopefully next time I will explain more and hopefully you will know more about me and where I come from, because that is one long story, so Ethro will hopefully write that one.

This is newbe signing off for the first and hopefully not the last time. goodbye.
