Your Human and You: Old Stitches

~Entry #001~

~Season: Fall~

Dear Journal,

Today is my first entry on my newest project that I have decided on starting. What is it you may ask? Well, my project is to bring a pony back to life! ...Well, not really a pony technically. But this a plan beforehoof around that. Since it's rather illegal to dig up a deceased pony from the grave yard, I decided to do the next best thing: humans! Why humans? Well, why not!? They seemed to be the smartest animal next to us ponies. They can be taught things, trained to be obedient and even to housework and chores if they're that smart! They kind of look like tall hairless monkeys that stand on two legs like the minotaur. Anyways, I decided that I rather do humans cause they seem like they hold a better purpose then some white bunny or a simple dog. Humans seem to be more of a mystery then the Everfree Forest itself. Nopony knows where they came from in all honesty. No matter how much we study and teach them, they seem to be at some barrier in their mind that can’t let them know more. Kind of like a dogs, only much smarter. Today, for now, I will just be studying the human books around the creature before I even get a human to test out. I mean, it would be rather crazy to just jump onto the resurrection and not know anything about the very creature you’re giving life to. That’s just a filly’s first mistake. Either way, I shall be writing my entries each day around five in the afternoon, right before the sun sets. Without anything else to say, I shall be ending this entry here until tomorrow.

Signed,

Atom B.

~Season: Fall~

Dear Journal,

Today is now my official first day of trying to bring a human back to life. I’ve spent ten days studying and writing down certain facts around the humans, from the way the eat and walk, all the way to how they behave around certain things. I’ve even done my own research with the approval of Mrs.Smith’s Father. He was greatly accepting of me studying on the humans that he naturally breeds and trains himself. Mrs.Smith is also a rather strange mare, but she’s a smart one at that. I also spent some time with her son Johnny. He’s an adventurous one I’ll tell ya that. Anyways, I’ve narrowed down to what age range I shall be picking out to use. My first option was to use an adult male, but after some research on how aggressive they may be and also territorial, I’ve changed my mind to much younger humans. The age ranging from ten to pre-teen that is either twelve or thirteen. Of course I could use the elderly that have passed on by natural causes, but I feel as if they spent enough time on Equis, while the younger humans who have been deceased by accidents, sickness or even unknown causes.

I have my first human with me at the moment, and his name is Chris. His C.O.D., or Cause of Death, is one of accidental that had a lightning cloud and a long fall included. I have already did the medical procedures and even made sure that I casted a spell that would make the body hydrated and nourished so when he is brought back to life, he won’t quickly die of starvation or dehydration. Now, for this first attempt, I shall be using a powerful defibrillator that I, uhm, borrowed from the hospital. I will bring it back, I promise! Anyways, I’ll be back in a short while, the spell won’t last that long.

*An Hour Later

Hello again. It’s me again and it seems that my first attempt wasn’t a success. The only result I got was an unmoving body and some scorch marks on his chest. I’m not sure if I used too much power or just not enough. I could try again, but I don’t want to make the human body any worse. I’ll do some research around the human anatomy more and even some magic that the humans may have stored in their body.

Until Next Time,

Atom B.

~Season: Winter~

Dear Journal,

Today I am writing my second attempt on resurrection with a human body and I’ve got another young human male by the name of Rick. His C.O.D. is actually cause if an unknown disease that nopony could cure. It’s a shame really. I read in his file that he tried to make it seem like he wasn’t sick and tried to walk it off. But since the disease technically paralyzed his body slowly, the walking didn’t last long. I am really sorry for him. Either way, I might give him another chance if this works. I’ve done the procedures again and this time, I am going to use a powerful spell that ponies have only used to make a flower bloom faster. I made sure that the disease that ended his life faster was gone, but it seemed that the sickness died with him. I could’ve gathered some of it and maybe make a cure for it to pass the time, but I’m okay with not finding a trace of it. It makes it easier for me to bring him back to life without any worries. Now I’ll write back the results.

*Thirty Minutes Later

Well then, I never thought that this would happen. It seems that the spell doesn’t bring life to plants, it just makes the growth faster. So technically, I just aged the corpse to an adult. Rick would’ve looked like a handsome human if he was still alive. I’ll find a spell to reverse it and then bring him back to his grave. I don’t want to try a different spell that might not be reversible, or maybe make the body worse.

Maybe Next Time,

Atom B.

Dear Journal,

It has been some time since I decided on this project and so far I’ve been having nothing but study sessions and failures. I have a feeling that some ponies are catching onto what I’m doing and I don’t like it. Maybe I should give up… no. I won’t! I shall not! So what if some ponies have spotted me with a wagon of stuff that is covered in dirty cloths. It’s not like they know what I’m doing. I’m a perfectly good pony and I’m doing this to make Equestria a better place, just like my teacher always told me. Ponies will see my successful human, and ponies will want to help make ponies instead be brought to life. Little foals and mares and stallions that have been taken from this world too soon. I bet Celestia herself will approve of this. Mark my words I will make this work or the cutie mark that I bear is fake!

Also, I did try again with a girl last time, her name was Zoe and her C.O.D. was some much bigger and older humans picking on her and beat her to death. Some humans are good, but others are like the harsh ponies that we have to live with as well. Anyways, I tried to bring her back to life, but forgot to check her insides ‘n such, so she didn’t last long. But she was alive for a moment! I was so close that my lazy flank forgot to make sure everything within her was okay. Some ponies make mistakes, but next time I won’t! I will promise that!

~Season: Summer~

Dear Journal,

Oh no! The ponies are catching on and asking questions! I don’t know how long I can keep this up. I think I have to move someplace far away, where nopony can find me and I can work on my project in peace. I’m so scared, I can’t even leave my home until it’s night. I’m losing some sleep, but nothing but an energizing spell won’t help. Either way, I’ll be moving my project to an old house that I only use for storage and useless files. I know this entry is a bit short, but I don’t really have that much time to write more.

Next Time,

Atom B.

~Season: Summer~

Dear Journal,

I have a crazy idea! So crazy, that I think I’ll be sent to a mental hospital if this comes out to anypony else. Have you ever heard of this story called “Franken Mare”? Of course I have! It was the very story that made me think of this idea! Anyways, I decided to try the way the story did: Using some body parts, stitching them together, and even doing the old lightning-for-power trick, but for different reasons. For this idea, I made sure that it was a young female. But I also used some of my own hoof-made things that I built myself. I made a robotic arm, leg, eye and even an ear since I couldn’t gather enough body parts that weren’t already ruined. But the greatest thing I made, was my very own robotic brain. Yeah, I know in the story they used another pony’s brain that was a bit wrong and made the creature a bit slow. So, making sure it doesn’t happen, I made my own brain that has it’s own learning chip. I also did this to make the human learn actual Equish! But also it’s own kind language. I just thought it’d be weird if the human knows Equish, but not its own type of language. Anyways, other than that, I made my own proper source of power, it being a strange stone that I found while in the Everfree forest. It is an array of different colors and shines bright in the sunlight. It is going to be the power source that I’ve stored in the heart. Granted, this isn’t really a fully resurrected human, but more of a cyborg, so I’m guessing I’m taking another step back in brining a pony back to life by using my own things instead of everything being actual living cells. Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah! Once the lightning strikes the stitched body, the magic within the lightning will quickstart the magic stone and bring the stitched cyborg to life. I’ve also done some other improvements in the body, but I don’t think that will be necessary to write down. Let’s hope for the best and maybe this might be my big chance!

Hooves Crossed,

Atom B.
