Voices

by Drizzle Quill

The light in my darkness

Fuzzy. Fuzzy, fuzzy darkness. Fuzzy darkness folding away to reveal...light! So much light! It hurts my eyes! But in a way...it's beautiful, too. White. White purity. White used to be one of my favorite colors...

D-Daddy? Is that you? Where am I?

...why am I in the hospital?

Oh. I'm hurt? Why am I hurt?

They told me to do bad things. I was so blind to it all. I thought they were telling me to do the right thing.

No, no, Daddy, it's not your fault! I promise that it's not your fault.

Daddy...stop crying...I'm okay. How long until I'm able to go back to school?

Yes, I want to go back to school. Yes, I'll be okay. Yes, the voices are still there.

Don't worry about me, Daddy. I know how to fight them now.

There's a name for what the voices are doing to me?

Schizophrenia. Schi-zo-phreeenia. That's an ugly word. I don't like it, Daddy. I don't think Mommy liked it either.

Don't cry, Daddy. It's okay. I'm still here...

I love you, Daddy.

...

Daddy?

I think that white is my favorite color.

This fic... it's a nice way of expressing schizophrenia. A certain way, definately different from mine, I don't see silver, and they don't nessesarily convince me to try to kill myself, but other than that, yeah, that's pretty much it.

I really don't know all that much about schizophrenia other than what I've been told and what I've read online, so I'm happy to know that this interpretation somewhat succeeded!

And this was supposed to be a much more severe case explaining the voices telling Twist she's worthless; also, the silver represented the tears that Twist was shedding every day.

However, I'm glad you enjoyed.

[The Vicious Cannibal]

3395903 Yeah, I guess you did a really good job with this.

[Danger Noodle]

This was interesting. Good job.

I personally have very severe schizophrenia, but it's not much like this. Then again everybody suffers differently, for example whereas Twist is duped into attempted suicide by her others, I merely am forced to whisper whatever they speak - like an impulse, I can't stop myself.

Interesting concept however, especially considering I'll be writing for a character like this soon. Nice job.

[Azusa]

Could probably use more polish.

Keep writing.

3408976 I disagree. seeing as the story is told from Twist's POV in her head with no external dialogue I think it's written just perfect.:rarity wink:

Daddy?

I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't paint the red stripes on her candy canes anymore. poor Twist. Much love for this filly and the new spin you took on her personality.

what a !

[Stonecrop Sedum]

I'm so relieved that she lived. I was so sad at the end of the first chapter. Still very sad but she can get through this together with her dad.

[Fluttershyisacutegal]

I kind of felt bad for twist in this story

[Electrix]

I genuinely feel bad for Twist...

But who isn't crazy? I stay up until 6AM talking to my dog plushie i got when i was in 2nd grade.
