//------------------------------// // Prolouge // Story: Modern Life of a Confused Pony // by Spyro9 //------------------------------// Journal entry No. 1 I'm not sure what day it is. In fact, I'm not sure about anything right now. The only thing I know is that a strange grey Pegasus mare found me in this strange forest last week or so.
