Today I Am A Monster, Part Two · 2:10am Oct 4th, 2013
Equestria Daily is hosting another "horror story" event and I can never resist a challenge.
"Today I Am A Monster" is a story that has slept in my story folder for quite awhile. It's been difficult to write this story because it upsets me. And it upsets me because it is close to a "self-insert," something I vowed to avoid.
When I was younger, I struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I collected weapons and seriously considered the installation of booby-traps around my house, just in case. I'm better now, don't worry. But writing this story is like an interview with my younger, crazier self. Pathfinder, my "monster," is just me in my twenties, terrified of the strange world that just won't leave him alone.
I intend to finish and complete this story precisely because it hurts me to write it. This is my personal horror story. I hope it will be okay.
UPDATE: The story is done at last. It's not terrible. It troubles me, a little, that my one autobiographical tale is a horror story. But, as Steve would say, C'est la vie.
Hey, if this is something that you feel you need to do, far be it from me to try and stop you.
