Things Best Left Forgotten

My name is Nighting Gale, I have no idea where anypony is and I have an overwhelming mixture of sorrow, depression and, inexplicably, guilt. It's been just a day but the fact that I have seen none of my friends, family or even neighbors is starting to make me frantic. Where could they be? What happened? Is this just a dream? Please...please tell me this is just a cruel dream, I can't take much more of this isolation and my curiosity is driving me to insanity. I'll just go to bed and sleep this away, hopefully  I'll wake up and it really will have just been a dream.....so I hope.

*just a short intro to organize the story (in my mind at least)*
