It was only a dream.  It had to be.  I–I would never.  I could never.

\\**//EXTENDED SILENCE\\**//

Could I?  Could I kill ponies?  I know Pumpkin wouldn’t want me using this thing as an audio diary, but this might be some kind of mind control magic.  That has to be illegal, right?

**deep breath** I had a bad dream...at least I think it was a dream.  I was killing ponies, zebras, griffons, yaks, minotaurs, centaurs...all manor of creatures.  I slaughtered every one of them and they didn’t know it was me.  Their shocked faces are burned into my mind.

The scariest part was how I felt: Nothing.  I was an emotionless killing machine.  I didn’t feel pain, remorse, sadness, or anger.  It was like viewing a memory orb.

It was terrifying.  The worst part was I somehow felt that is was me, but I’d never kill anypony.  I can barely hurt a fly.  I prefer to capture and release them outside the house.

But that brings me back to mind control magic.  The Calzones have all manor of spell caster in their employ.  They might have one willing to bend the wills of others.  I’d see if Pumpkin could find out, but she said this investigation is off the books...and this is just a theory.

**sigh** I’m on my own.  Once I have something to get Three Cheese arrested or at least something to start the process, I can bring up the possibility of mind control.  I just hope it won’t be too late and I’m not really killing creatures.

I’ll keep monitoring my dreams and see if maybe it is just stress.  This investigation is really stressful.  The Cazones must be stopped...I can’t be shaken by dreams.
