Dead Air

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

About a week ago everything went to hell. The air became hard to breath and eventually some couldn't breath at all and they dropped down dead on the street. Some are a bit more immune to it though and managed to survive long enough to get gas mask and survive, mask were limited though. Some would fight for mask and some would fight to give their children mask, the losers would slowly suffocate. Most children were given mask no fight needed, but we still needed adults alive, so not all children got one. There are lucky ponies though who grow fast immunity to the air and don't need a mask to survive, all of which end up going insane and start killing ponies. Then there are the very unlucky ponies who don't just suffocate, but some parts of their body go limp and stop working about a minute before they die, and some have parts of their body completely explode in a disgusting, bloody, and painful burst.

My friends and I were the lucky ones who grew some immunity and managed to get a mask, all except for one, Rarity. She will be missed, but that's what happens when your not strong enough to reject your family. I don't have any family left that I know of so i can't say how hard it is to say no to your little sister, yeah she got a mask but stupidly gave it to Sweetie Belle, and she still died from insane everyday pony eating assholes. They ripped the mask right of her face and watched her eyes explode then suffocate, then they ate her body for dinner.

We don't know how we will survive in the long run, but we do know that Canterlot is the only place with fresh air, the fresh air is what we care about most out of everything we still need, we will survive if we make there. Getting to Canterlot isn't easy though and getting in is even harder, the guards say there isn't infinite fresh air but we all know that's bullshit. We've sent about three ponies to Canterlot only one came back with a mauled body and sad news saying we can't get in. Two days later she died. We also got a letter saying  "Fuck off, your not getting in" after we sent our last scout which never came back. We will find a way in though no matter what, we need air and we need to talk to Celestia to figure what the hell is going on.

We will have to be satisfied with Ponyville till then. It's not all that bad here. We have some control and order here, we have trash walls, guns, enough food for now, water, and we all work together well. Yet this place is still shit and we need to get into Canterlot soon, but that's not even my biggest worry, the small order we have here is falling apart doomed to anarchy. When that happens things are going to get worse.
