I don't honestly know how to start this. I have no fucking idea how to even describe anything I've seen over the past few hours. So, guess I'll start from the beginning.

My name is Rain Breaker. I was formerly a guard of Princess Celestia; Until I got a life threatening injury that took one of my legs. Then the fucking bitch and the rest of the Royal Guard cast me away, no bits or any form of currency, no help. Just a 'Good luck,' and that was that.
I've been working as a handyman since then, and I did part time up at the Apple Farm in Ponyville. Did some security on Earth; But...due to me being a pony, it didn't go too well.

And one day, while in a drunken stupor, searching for yet another...uhm...mare to keep mr company...I heard about this place. Not like...for the first time. Everyone and their grandma knows about this place; Foals in my hometown called it "The Place Where The Bad Kids Go". Parents threatened us with this place, should we have misbehaved.
After working here for two hours...I can say the ways we foals and parents described this hell is foal's play compared to the real thing.

Anywho, I overheard a fellow guard talking about this place. About how they were in desperate need in guards. I asked about it. Pay is 70,000 bits. At the time, I thought holy shit; In two weeks, I can clear my debt with both the loan sharks AND the landlord, and still have enough for some groceries and a few hookers.
Damn my greed...
Obviously, I applied and got the job. And now I'm here; In the bathroom, writing in this God damn journal.

Back to the start of my shift. Today was my first day. I prepared myself, mentally and physically; Not nearly enough to be prepared for the true horrors of this place, but I didn't think it was that bad before I got here. I arrived by train; Few hours of a trip, and I believe I'm going to be spending the week here, then get weekends off.

When I arrived, the first thing I heard was screaming, wails and...laughter. Deep, further down in the Pit, there was fucking laughter, reminiscent of that one pink pony at SurgarCube Corner, but...laced with evil and malice.
The Pit is...that. A pit. A mile wide hole in the earth out here in the Frozen North. I have yet to even see a bottom, and it's pith black below level 34.
The cold bites at your soul and the rain didn't help.

The metal catwalks and stairs on my level(Level 27) was soaked and slippery. I can assure you that some of the inmates here were frozen solid. As in...legit, dead and frozen. One of the ponies I saw had no fur, although wether or not that's his doing or the guards here is beyond me. Yes; I've seen a few guards...more than abuse their power, by the way. And the bad ones didn't try to hide it. I've literally seen guards of both the pony kind and human kind raping one of the prisoners. And the prisoner wasn't fighting back; He just...laid there and took it. I think he was lobotomized, or brain dead. Either way, when they were done, the guards just...left the cell. Left the human nude, with bleeding anus and lying on the cell floor, and as if nothing ever happened, as if I wasn't watching.

I've seen prisoners sobbing. Down below, I heard and still can hear one of the inmates calling out for their mother. I've seen one of the prisoners actually rip out their own eyes, or at least begin to. I ran here to throw up and empty my entire week of food into a trash can. I've seen shit like that before; But the prisoner wasn't screaming or sobbing. He just decided to rip out one of his eyes, and he did just that without hesitation or fear. And he's still there, his eyes thrown onto the floor, him standing and staring at a wall as his blood trickles down his face. I've tried to get him help, but not many of the guards seemed to care and the ones who showed at least an ounce of concern simply told me to ignore it. It's apparently a common thing here, for inmates AND guards to spontaneously mutilate their own bodies.

The guard in the stall next to me is actually sobbing. And he was here when I came in to throw up; Which was at least fifty minutes ago.

To be honest, I'm on the verge of doing the same. But not right now. I have to go; Still have four days left of my God awful shift. Hopefully...Things will get better...

Nope. Not at all. Nothing has gotten even remotely better. If there is a Hell, this is it. Forget Tartarus; Not even the things there could DREAM of a place like this. For starters, one of the prisoners have not only eaten their own shit, but they decided to call me over and SPIT IT IN MY FACE.

And that's the most tame thing here so far. I said nothing, not wanting him to be gang raped by the guards, but I can see how abusing your power could be tempting here.

After I got...mostly cleaned up, and after I voided my stomach once again, I hesitantly came back to work. Oh, and yes; The guard was still sobbing in that one stall.

Immediately after I stepped out, there was a loud scream; And to my horror, I saw the nude human from before, the one who was raped, run out of his cell and jump over the guard rail keeping us from falling down to probably the depths of Hell itself. He didn't flinch, and his screaming didn't stop for a few moments before they frew faint, and then nonexistent. Nobody did a thing about that, either; Just carried on about their day. Some didn't even turn to see what was happening. I felt the need to throw up as well; But I only managed to heave and gag. My stomach has been voided ten fold, so I guess that was to be expected.

The prisoner who ripped out his eyes; A dragon, by the way; Was on the floor in the corner of his cell, limp and probably dying as I write this. Blood is seeping everywhere in his cell.

I've seen other prisoners crying and sobbing, which will probably be a common sight for me now.

But that wasn't all. The worst came a day ago. So, a few prisoners on my level have managed to escape their cells; Five of them, I believe. Two humans and the rest were dragons. Anywho, they escaped, and all, and I mean ALL, of the other prisoners began to cheer and laugh.

I didn't even get time to react before one of the humans threw my against the concrete walls, my skull bouncing off of it and splitting open. Thankfully, that was all that happened to me.

They then continued their rampage. One of the human guards actually drew his gun and fired at one of the humans five times; He didn't last long before the prisoner took the guard and began to smash his head against the cell doors. I've never seen so many skull fragments and so much brain exit a creature's body in such a way before.

The other four continued to rage, throwing over one of the guards into the Pit, and one of them at one point grabbed a guard's gun; And then there were bullets flying. I was barely able to see anything, since I was laying in a pool of my own blood, but I did see the four enter the break room on my level, as guards scrambled to get control. The other prisoner, the human who was shot, was dead by now, having bled out from the five bullet holes put into his chest I believe.

Anywho, I did see two of the dragons suddenly barge out of the break room, carrying the one guard who was sobbing in that one stall. I don't know how, but I knew it was him. He was a young earth pony. He had tears streaking down his face as he struggled to break free from the grasp of his captors.
"NO!"
He hollered and screamed, trying to break free. Poor kid. I could write down that he escaped and survived. But I'd be lying to myself and the remaining bits of sanity I have.

The two dragons ran right into the guard rail, breaking it. They didn't hesitate, it wasn't a mistake. They ran through it, and right off the platform; Sending themselves and the kid flying into the air. The kid screamed for his life, and desperately tried to grab onto something, but obviously it didn't work. He and the two prisoners fell, the dragons not even using their wings. It was as if they wanted to die.
The three of them fell into the lower parts of the Pit, and then there was a loud metal bang.

It wasn't the kid. One of the dragons, I heard, fell a few stories and then hit his neck off of a guard rail. He died on impact. The other dragon and the kid fell all the way to the bottom. Based on the things I've heard; It'll probably be a closed casket funeral, and the families won't even be able to get all the pieces of either creature.

The last two prisoners had a short standoff with the guards, I believe. I didn't hear or witness what happened; Minutes after I saw the dragons drag the guard to their deaths, I blacked out.

I awoke in the medical ward. I needed countless stitches, and now I have a concussion. I was brought here by one of the orderlies. I overheard that the human who got the shotgun blew his brains all over the ceiling and the last prisoner was captured and put back in his cell. I'm assuming the guards beat him to a bloody mess.

But even though everything had cooled down, the other prisoners seem to be still cheering about everything that's transpired. Everything is on lockdown, and none of the prisoners are going to be fed today as punishment.

I have contemplated quitting this job. But I've decided against it. I don't know if it's because my short time here made me succumb to madness. Maybe it's the concussion. But I don't think I could live with the fact I quit, and some idiot youngling decided to take my place. I'm old, useless. My life is a waste as is, even I'm aware of it. Maybe I'm hoping that by telling myself I'm keeping a youngling from taking this job, that some shred of honor will be given to my name.

But I'm keeping this job. If it keeps a youngling from taking it, then I am for now willing to deal with everything I've seen so far, and everything I inevitably will see.

I'll be writing in this journal when I can. Keep whatever creature that finds this updated on the things I've seen. Things I'll experience here. Have to go for now. I still have two more days until I can go home to whatever shack I currently live in.

Wish me luck.
