Annoyance


What? No stupid simpering voice to cry their woes to me? No idiotic tales of how upset another pony is and how upset she is? Aw, that's such a shame, and I was so looking forward to it as well. I guess instead I'll just have to sit by myself and do all the things I planned to do in the first place. Again, such a shame about Twist's mysterious disappearance.

I haven't gone home yet today. I was so busy with my job last night that I haven't had the time to even try to care about going back to my drab little house. One day maybe, but at the minute it smells horrible. Next time I'll do what I need to do far away from my own home so that the lingering smell won't burn my eyes off. The Police are doing a massive scavenger hunt around Equestria, Ponyville in particular since it's the hive where everything started. 

Everypony in the whole place cares about what's going on and is leaving to go stay with their loved ones just in case. Everypony except Little Belle and Apple Bloom. I haven't seen hide nor hair of them at all; ditto for my 'sister' who said she would help me through everything (without informing me that there was an expiry date). You'd think that considering the ponies who had been killed they would have least been a tiny bit interested in what was going on, but apparently not. No! They care more about their new lives than the old one where everypony who cares about them is.

I should calm down. Anger isn't going to help the cause I'm part of, if anything it will hinder it. I need to remain calm throughout it all. I can do that can't I? I'm smart enough and brave enough aren't I? Who am I kidding, nopony's going to answer me. Nopony even remembers that I exist. I always wondered growing up what it would take to be noticed and be recognized for who I was by others; the truth is that I suppose you have to lie and cheat to get that honour. You'll always end up breaking a few hearts as you try to get there. My Boss certainly knows a lot about breaking hearts.

He's being such an ignorant bovine. He doesn't even seem to see what he's doing to everypony. It finally happened, he latched himself onto me after all this time. I can't say I was surprised when I found the letter in my slot this morning, telling me I had to work late with him tomorrow night. I'm trying my best not to care but it's hard to not be worried about what he's got planned. There must be some way of getting out of it, there's just got to be something. I can't go through with it, or at least I don't think I can. The only trouble is, if it's not me who else is it going to be? If anything I'm tougher than the other mares in the office; if I leave then it'll be them that gets hurt. I don't want that. Nopony deserves to be hurt so harshly by a pony as cruel as him,

These dead ponies have got it lucky, they have no worries at all anymore. They certainly don't feel lonely like the rest of us living ponies do. You never seem to be lonely little filly, you always have somepony around you...Usually your friends. Don't they even see what's hidden in your eyes? I'm like that. I hide things away I don't wish for anypony to know. If they knew then it would ruin the whole operation I've got going. Are you the same?

Your friends aren't with you today. I think this is the first time I've ever seen you with your Mother. She looks...she looks familiar. Though everypony looks the same to me nowadays, whether alive or dead I know the difference between one kind of creature and another. I'm in a category all my own. Forever alone in my own little corner. Twist used to disturb the peace of my little corner, but she can't right now. I wonder who reported her missing. Somepony with a heart perhaps, or somepony who wanted the tears of worry to run across everypony's brow. It could be either, but it can only be one.

The police will keep searching until they find her. It'll be a shame when they do. I can gladly wait for that day to arise. Hopefully they'll never find her; yes, that would be perfect. That mare was always an annoyance throughout school, and she became even more unbearable when she started dressing herself up as my saviour. She couldn't save me, she couldn't save anypony if she tried. The only pony that could save me is me. I have control of my mind; to a lesser extent I have control of my body. And now that I've escaped from the society rules that were forced upon me as a filly I can control my head even more then these pitiful miscreants can.

If only the Police weren't so desperate to find out where she was. I'll never be able to find enough time to get about doing my business whilst they're all snooping around. I had a job to do and now I can't get it done thanks to them. Why do they have to care so much about a missing pony? What does it matter if she died or not? Even if she did, you wouldn't really care. Twist didn't have anypony who cared enough to be with her last night. Instead you all left her alone to die..I mean, go missing. None of you really care about what happened to her.

Okay, okay. I'll be there in a minute. You don't have to tell me I need to go back to work. I KNOW I need to go back to work, I'm putting it off for as long as possible that's all. Fine... I'm coming.

Have a good night everypony, you'll need it I'm sure.
