Slenderpony

The Finding.

May 4th, 2010.

I was walking home, it was raining, I had to pick up a new batch of strawberries before I got home, so I stopped by the fruit stand in the market. Closed.

I crept inside, looking for some strawberries, hoping to just leave some bits on the counter when I was done. I batted my way through some cobwebs in the back. That was strange. Cobwebs in a busy fruit stand. All logic was beside me, though.

Nothing made sense anymore, not after him.

I started my morning by waking up to the necklace, which had been on my neck the previous night, lying on the desk next to me, note written under it on an old notepad I hadn't used in months. The perfect morning. Just a casual morning in my life.

After getting ready, and taking a shower of course, I walked out into the town square. Empty. Unusual for such a busy village. Something strange was going on here, very strange.

This time, I didn't wake up to the fresh morning daylight, I woke up to a dark cloudy sky, so dark you would think there wasn't a sky at all. A dark, possessed sky, one only heard of in myths. Myths of the Slenderpony. Not a good thought. I already saw him once already, 3 days ago to be exact. Before I got off work, there he was, standing in the doorway, I blacked out, when I woke, he was gone. I knew I was extremely lucky to be spared. I knew I wouldn't last long.
