Marble Hooves

Hi... If you've found this screenplay... it's not a screenplay... it's a diary.

I'm putting entries of this thing I see, and what follows it, in here. I will also put this on the ponynet.

My name is Sonya... Sonya Diamond...You may have heard of my brother Remy. He owns a nice little casino in between ponyville and Phillydelphia.

Well I'm an Alicorn and he's a pegasus. I'm adopted.

I wouldn't be writing any of this stuff if it weren't for what happened last night.

ENTRY #1

I was writing a screenplay for a movie about the folly of ponies creating a monster that would hunt and kill evil ponies. I was out of inspiration, so I looked up urban legends... I found one that interested me. It was a tall stallion with no face that would stalk or hunt random ponies, supposedly feeding on their fear. It was said to take children. It didn't say what happened to them afterwards. I only imagined the worst.

It would make anypony who saw it, completely insane. It even caused suicides and murders.

I can't remember its name... if I do, it comes back. Upon further investigation, I saw that evidence of its existence held up pretty well. It had some kind of symbol like a circle with an X through it. I had assumed it was a reference to the lack of a face.

I was home alone, My roommate wasn't there, he was on vacation for the week. I turned off my computer and looked out my window to see if there was anything out there. I was scared out of my mind from reading and seeing what I had that night. The night sky was purple. Not a natural purple but the kind you see after a war scene in a movie.

I was hoping to just go to bed. But I heard a noise... At first I thought it was my roommate, but no... I walked out of my room. I looked down the stairs by my door. I saw something in a blur before I fell to the floor. Some intense pain... raged through me. My hooves shook as I coughed while on the floor. Looking at a tall skinny pony... no... a...

A THING! It had no face. It was the same thing I was researching! An ancient tome called it "Der Cribber" I have learned to call it the same so as to keep from remembering it's other name. I closed my eyes, hoping that the faceless creature wouldn't see me if I just didn't look! THE GUT WRENCHING FEELING ROSE RIGHT THROUGH MY HEAD! I did my best to get up as I was in my sorry coughing state.

It watched me as my ears rung and I fell out of consciousness. I woke up today. It was 6:00 AM. My roommate saw me on the floor and nudged at me.

I awoke to find Dante' (My roommate) nudging me to wake me up. "Sonya! Get up!" He said as I woke up slowly. "Dante'?" I snapped when I remembered the events of last night! " DANTE' GET OUT OF HERE! IT'S HERE IT'S HERE!" I screamed it at the top of my lungs until... I realized it was gone. My house looked like it normally did. White walls because I never bothered to paint them, Paintings of my coltfriend strewn about my own room. and I cringe whenever I enter Dante's. as his room is filled with paintings of my brother in some... unlikely positions. The stairs are topped with wooden planks and there are very few carpeted rooms.

"I mean... um... nevermind." I said.

I afterwards went to my room, and began writing this. I hope somepony can help me somehow. I don't know what it was. or if it was a dream. I just know that I'm scared! Out of my mind SCARED! I felt a sudden urge to jump off a cliff when I saw it and I need help! I'm going to continue writing as long as I can! If I record it all in writing, I'll be fine right? Right? I'm falling ill. I continue to cough. I don't like any of this. I'm going to continue writing as long as these things keep happening.
