I am dreaming again. I'm in the same forest. I'm holding a flashlight with my magic. I have a camera recording. I don't know why, but I start walking around. It's all black. No light except for my horn and the flashlight, which is almost out. It is flickering, like strobe lights. I want to wake up. The gates block the way out. Why is this happening? I want to wake up... What is that on that tree? Is that paper? Yes. It's a note. It has a figure on it. Long limbs, no face, wearing a suit. It says, "Help me." I pick it up. The wind is getting colder. So cold. My flashlight has no more light. It flickers out. I drop it. Leaving for it to hit the hard, unforgiving floor. I hear it smack against the ground. I hear something else. It's coming from the camera. Cries... Cries for help... It's the filly... He's dead... He must be... Why can I hear him? It's impossible... I'm going insane. My sanity... Slowly drifting away... Slowly... Like a boat loose from the port... On calm seas... I hear static... I want to vomit... I want to forget... I... Want... To... Die... He's here... Watching my every move... I can't escape him... He's always watching me... I can't escape him... I can only delay my fate... Retreating only delays the inevitable... Delaying won't help... I hear shrieking... The same shriek... From the forest... From the Slender Horse... From my own mind... Is he real? Is he just a figment of my imagination? No... It can't be... Celestia... Please... Help me...
