Chapter one: Why it's not a dream

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

I guess your going to ask what happened to me. Why I have red eyes that look like robots and have no pupils. Why I'm all alone. Why I'm typing this on a typewriter and acting like someone will read it. Well, the answer is because I am a robot, because I try to kill anpony who comes near me, and because I have hope... Hope that they'll find a cure, come back and help me. But that's probably not going to happen. Do you know what it's like to be the biggest fear in Equestria? To have your home town put into quarantine because they knew you, or were friends with You? No, of course you don't. Nopony does.

I guess your also wondering if this is all a dream, did I pinch myself? Did I try to wake up? I prick myself everyday with a needle to make sure I'm awake. I open my eyes extra wide, I splash my face with cold water, nothing works. It makes me want to cry, but I don't function that way, which makes me even more sad.

It's weird turning into a robot. First of all, you lose your cutie mark. You- I mean me, who else is going to be as stupid as me and turn themselves into a robot? Nopony, that is the answer. Anyway, one leg gets turned into metal, running all the way up to the flank, with coggs where the joints should be. And on the other side it just disappears. Then your eyes turn red. Red and glowing, terrifying and piercing, and monstrous. Your coat colour stays the same, but is usually splattered with blood. Also your mane and tail are the same, but dull and lifeless. Finally your magic aura stays the same colour.

I know I wanted something different, I didn't expect to be like this, but I am. And when a monster inside is driving you to kill everypony, it's very hard to try and correct your errors...
