//------------------------------// // 10. Losing Focus // Story: I Felt, Therefore I Was // by Cynical //------------------------------// The Journal of Twilight Sparkle – 26th November 1007 Me and my big mouth. She left. She’s gone. It’s not like I’m surprised though; I speculated on the event a week or so ago and now it has finally come to pass. Maybe if I’d left doing the tests for another week… maybe she’d never have come in at that exact moment when it all went wrong. Or maybe she would have and I’d still be writing these words a single week later. With just over a month to go until the deadline… I’m left wondering whether I should ever complete this spell… it seems to bring only bad memories now. I still remember how to cast it so I feel happy, I think a bit of happiness might do me some good at the moment. To have all my worries simply float away and let the world be lifted from my shoulders. I think I’m going to have to do a lot of thinking before I continue with this project. I doubt anyone would blame me; cancelling the project due to extenuating circumstances in my personal life, that’s what I’d say. But even writing the words on this page feels like a failure. I realise how short this entry seems to be… yet there’s nothing I can do about that. I’ll be back in touch when I feel more stable. To her, Twilight Sparkle.
