Life as a Pony

Prologue 

Ok, let's do this...TEST TEST... is this thing on? Oh good...I'm not used to this. 

Hi, I'm Smokey Snout and I hope you don't mind this weird beginning. A friend gave me this magical feather-thing that writes what I am saying. 

...probably because he knows that my hoofwriting isn't that good. 

Ok, I guess, I am the only pony in all of Equestria that can make sense of it at all. 

If I just still had my hands... 

I wasn't always the charming, black-winged colt I am now. In fact I was a human, like...uhm...two years ago. 

Oh Luna, have I actually been here for so long? 

Anyway, presumably everypony out there will either: 

-Wonder what a human is 
-Think I was crazy 
-Ask how I kept this a secret for so long or 
-Try to think, of the best way to return this "marestale" to the bookstore they got it from. 

Well be assured that I will try to solve all these questions and concerns when I think the time is right. Actually the answer for the last one is at the bottom of the receipt you got with this copy. Yeah, that little thing there that says ‘All sales are final.’ 

Woah, woah, woah. Don’t get mad at me. Bits just don’t grow on trees, you know.

For all of you, that are in for a mind-blowing (and in fact all true) story, should probably wait on the last step. That’s right, back away from the trash can. 

I mean, come on! Give me at least a chance to explain myself before calling one of these psychol- psychsol-.... these brain-doctors. 

Given the chance that I might have become a teeny-tiny bit loco in this coco of mine, but I have an excuse: I have been transferred into a strange and confusing parallel universe and had lost all contact to my friends, relatives and most importantly, my message boards. 

I remember as if it was yesterday...
