All that I touch seems to break in my hands, then it just bursts into flames.

Oh, Marble, Sweetie. How long can you be like this? If you can't help yourself, I'll have to do it for you, but you may not like who you become.

Woah, this is your 30th story? Anyway, I quite enjoyed this one.
Good job!

Love that mix of jmj themes. :pinkiehappy:

I wonder who Marble will visit first?

Im happy you enjoyed the story.

I was about halfway finished with it and thought, "oh... this is kind of like anxiety." And then a couple others as well. No more stories that start in bed. That's 3.

Somewhere out there there is a universe where mfc Pinkie got caught and hung as a spectacle. The trauma ruined Marble and she fell into a similar psychosis.

Or maybe she's possessed. The whole family could be cursed. Different universes, different rules.

Holy... This is easily one of the best I've read in awhile! I love the psychological buildup to the real horrid truth! If you're okay with it, I would love to give this a reading on my YouTube channel! This was truly chilling and a great read!

No problem and sure thing! I always give alerts to the author and credit them in the description with a link to the original story!

It's a very good story, but the excess similes added up over time.

I never used to use then. I've grown attached to them now. Sorry you don't like them. Thanks for the read.

It's like alliteration. I know it's a gimmick but it sounds slick. I love and hate them but still use them occasionally.

I'm not saying it takes away from the story, just slowed down the pace a bit.

Sometimes she hated ever starting those talks with herself, though she really couldn’t remember when she did. It felt as though she had always had them. Even before the therapist had instructed her to have them.

Well, it’s a Demon. Or schizophrenia. Either way, no good for her.

Great story!

Super happy you enjoyed this. I wanted to leave it open to the reader to what it was. Is it Marble just being nuts? Is it really a story of possession? I know what it is in my head canon but I won't ruin the fun for everyone who reads the story. In the end, does it matter? She still is what she is.

I had started a part 2 but it was so 'One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest' that I stopped. It was the 'demon' Cindergrim lamenting being locked up in the nuthouse. Her cellmate was Marble (who may or may not be a figment of her imagination) and her increasing compassion for the other inmates and the treatment they received.

So given what happened to Pinkie, I'm going to gather that this takes place in a Cupcakes universe, or something similar.

Yes, sir.
It was a directly, but played down, sequel. Maybe the Pie's have a bit of generic mental disorder in their family tree and Marble has finally succumbed to a disorder that has played her since birth. Maybe pinkie was possessed by a demon and that same demon has now latched onto Marble.

Or maybe she has just grown tired of being so afraid.

Thank you for the read.
