"I Just Had a Terrible Dream"

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

In the town of Charliehorseton, there is an pink earth stallion with a tan mane and green eyes named Swineson. Swineson is the best pig caretaker you will never hear of. He will care for them all; Germare Landraces, Equestrian Saddlebacks, large whites, big blacks, middle whites, he knows how to tend to them all. Some ponies would say that he eats so much that he looks like a pig, but he takes no mind to such comments. He is a proud pig veterinarian, and he loves his work. He loves pigs so much, he even does role play with his wife where they put on fake pig noses and do oinking sounds during some before-bed fun. Hell, the stallion dreams of pigs every night. And he's even dreaming about them right now!

Right now, Swineson's dreaming that he's doing surgery on yet another pig to save it's life. He's had this dream a great many times. The pig is brought into the surgery room in critical condition, it needs a lot done, and there's only 10 minutes to do it all. He forgets the dream every time, but he still manages to save it every time. On this particular night, he's already five minutes in and things are going like normal. However, this pig in particular was brought in for different reasons than usual. Usually the pig would just need a few corrections here and there, but this one is bleeding out quickly. Swineson took care of all the external cuts, but it's bleeding internally. But if anyone can save that pig, it's Swineson... But it's currently going terribly.

"I-I can't explain it Shepherd!" Swineson says frantically, "His internal injuries are like nothing that I've ever seen! I know you take good care of your pigs, and this one is a beautiful pot belly, but it's like this one has gone through many years of abuse!"

"Well, I can at least appreciate how hard you're trying," Shepherd says, his voice filled with worry, "But this is my Sylvester! He's the best pig of them all!"

"Don't worry Shepherd, I'll try my damnedest to save that pig!" Swineson says with more confidence, "Nurse, hand me a scalpel... Nurse?... Nurse!"

"Here you go, sir." The nurse says, handing Swineson a rusty scalpel.

"Thank you." Swineson Is about to make a cut with the rusty scalpel, but then he spots the rust on the blade, "Dammit Phyllis, this is not the time for jokes!" Swineson looks to the nurse to find that she's wearing a dirty brown fedora, "Why are you wearing that filthy thing in the clean surgery room!?"

"If I may, sir,” The nurse says, "I think I know exactly what this pig needs."

"Well, you are a surgery student..." Swineson says, thinking, "I guess I'll let you have a go at it. Just remember that this is a pig, not a pony."

With that, the nurse walks closer to the pig, and looks into the closed eyes of the pig.

"Don't worry sir, I won't let you down!" The nurse says in a voice filled with determination, "Hey there little fella. Don't worry, I'll take terrible care if you." The nurse raises her front-right hoof to reveal the clean scalpel that she was supposed to give Swineson, "You little bitch!"

"WHAT BY CELESTIA!?" Swineson yells out while the nurse dives the scalpel into the pig's eyes, causing it to bleed everywhere, "WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS MAGIC IS WRONG WITH YOU, PHYLLIS!?"

The nurse continues to stab the pig while Shephard grabs Swineson and shakes him violently.

"What Have You Done To My Pig!?" Shepherd yells out in anger, "What Have You Done To My Sylvester!?"

Shepherd pushes Swineson into a void of blackness... Swineson wakes up outside his house.

"Must've been sleep walking again." Swineson said to himself. He looks over to his two story house, and spots his wife through the top window. She's a gorgeous crystal unicorn, tall and somewhat lanky, but her face looks as beautiful as the faces of the twin sisters. Her coat shines like a gem, and when she's happy, like she is now, she becomes completely transparent. It's something to do with the cells of crystal ponies being similar to the cells of a cuddle fish, but he didn't care. All Swineson knows is his that wife is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. Swineson looks down to the steps of his older house and finds a hole that goes underground with a bipedal creature with a hat walking into the hole. Swineson enters the hole and spots the bipedal creature inside a tunnel. The bipedal creature disappears into the blackness at the end of the tunnel, and Swineson walks through the tunnel. When he gets to the other side, he finds himself inside a boiler room with red lighting.

"I didn't know that some boiler rooms has red lighting." Swineson told himself, thinking about the oddness of the room, "And I didn't know that there's an underground boiler room somewhere on my property." He looks to the other side of the boiler room to find the entrance of another tunnel, with the bipedal creature walking through... And he's holding a torch.

Swineson Runs over to the tunnel and tries to catch up with the bipedal creature.

"Um, excuse me, sir?" Swineson says as he gets closer. He sees that the bipedal is wearing dark pants and a red sweater with green stripes. He also begins to here the sounds of pigs where the bipedal creature stands, "Why did you build a tunnel that goes under my house?"

"You wanna learn a history lesson?" The bipedal asks, his voice sounding very demented. Almost evil.

"Uh... Sure?" Swineson says, confused by the bipedal.

"Did you know that a medieval tactic to destroying buildings was to build tunnels under them and fill them with pigs?" The bipedal says.

"N-no, I didn't quite know that, I guess." Swineson says, feeling uncomfortable, "B-but how does that destroy a building?"

"It would destroy a building because they would light the pigs on fire and trap them so they couldn't escape." The bipedal says, holding the torch up, "The heat from the burning fat weakened the dirt underneath the structure, causing it to fall..." the bipedal tosses the torch, and the sound of pigs squealing in pain is heard, "So I Say Light Those Bitches Up!! HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa-"

Swineson quickly runs out of the tunnel to find that it leads to directly outside his house where he woke up, only he didn’t have to run through a boiler room. There's no more hole near the front steps as he looks back, and he spots the ground become weak with flames poking out. The house crumbles in some areas, and begins to burn at others. Swineson runs to his house, only for a geyser a flame to erupt in front of him. The house begins to collapse with Swineson'a wife still sleeping inside. She appears to fall out of view, and the whole house crumbles to a burning pile... Swineson is speechless at what has happened in front of him, and begins to cry...


Swineson wakes up in his bed next to his gorgeous wife. He's in a cold sweat from what he just experienced. He puts a hoof on his wife and tries to wake her.

"Sweetie, wake up!" Swineson says with urgency, "I just had a terrible dream!"

"You're tellin' me, bitch!" Swineson's wife says as she flips over to reveal that she's the bipedal creature. Now that it's in better lighting, he can see that it appears to have flesh completely scared by flames and that it has a clawed glove on it's right hand.

"LUNA, HEEEEELP!!!" Swineson cries out in fear.

"We're Sorry, Luna's Not Available Right Now!" The bipedal mocks, "Please Leave A Message After The 'Bitch'! BITCH!!!"

The bipedal stabs Swineson in the gut with its claws, and slowly brings the claws up. Swineson begins to cough up blood while this is happening.

"W-what are you?" Swineson says, taking his last breath.

"I'm the Dream Master!" The bipedal says before laughing it's head off as it impales Swineson with its arm...


Swineson's wife is screaming in horror as her husband's underside is being split open in front of her, blood squirting everywhere.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! SOMEPONY HELP ME!!!" Swineson's wife screams as her husband gains a new hole that she can see through.

Help comes, but it's twenty minutes too late. Both Swineson and his wife have been horribly mutilated in thier bed. They check the whole house for any form of evidence to suggest that something did those horrible things to the married couple, but everything was in its place...

They have no proof that anything broke in and killed the couple, or any proof that they killed each other. It's like something that wasn't there mutilated the both of them... but that wouldn't make sense....

Right?
