Equestria's first, and last, serial killer recounts his tale and explains his simple reasoning. After all, asking questions is how we learn.
Author's Note:
A short and twisted tale of vile deeds that I wrote in a hour.
I fully expect to get swamped with downvotes. But hey, I expected most of my stories to get swamped in downvotes, so who knows?
Glad to see you writing again.

I've been writing plenty, actually. I've been updating Facility 0013 like a good little author and have a couple of complete stories waiting in my drive.
4079468
Oh.
4079479
Yes. But I have a good reason for doing so. So hang in there.
My god, that was so haunting and chilling, my eyes are watering and I'm shivering. This certainly doesn't deserve any downvotes. It's a well-written narrative. The simplicity only emphasizes what's already there, allowing the reader to fill in the rest. Don't change a thing.
Writing is meant to capture, and you certainly captured the degeneration of a stallion into a monster, a serial killer, and the darker side of curiosity and experimentation in human beings (pony beings, but. well.)
Wow.
4079737 Well, dang. Looks like I'll have to get in here sometime.

You're going to have to tell me your reaction when you read it, so we can compare notes. I might be a touch more sensitive than other people.
All i can really come up with is, dam. Dam. Dam. Good show, have a thumbs up.
Fun fact: Hanging actually burns quite badly, though I can say I dont know from personal experience.

Aww, thanks.
I'm not usually one to self advertise, but since you enjoyed this story so much, I'll make an exception. Honesty and Lies.
4080083
Ohai.
4080707
Thanks.

Interesting . . .
Deserve the thumbs up. I wonder if everything could be averted if someone gave him a very detailed psychology and biology book

Somehow, I don't think so, but thanks for the like.
this one chilled me to the bone. The way it was all described, and how the killer recounted it all... *shudders*
That was enjoyable, good work. I like this type of story-like-thingy. It made me feel as if I was him and I went through his emotions with him, it makes you feel bad for him, for what he became.

Thank you.

Thanks. That's all I could have hoped for.
I enjoyed this a lot. I felt the chills as I read it. Thumbs up!
I have 3 questions, though:
1.
Wouldn't it be easier to just use a rock? He had to go in a lot of trouble after to clean up the scene and the shovel. Also, two ponies dying in a row. Getting suspicious. Still going to work after best friends dies, but stop going to work when a colleague dies. Even more so. Okay, this wasn't actually a question.
2.
Knew about the wing or the knee?
3. What is your headcanon about what started it all? His friend dying? Was there a string in his mind waiting to snap?

1) For the shovel, he wasn't quite thinking clearly. And he was able to escape most suspicion by claiming that he was paranoid of another cave in.
2) All three. He bent the wing, and knee (backwards), and another knee (sideways).
3) My thoughts were that he was always on the brink of insanity, but good at hiding it; and the death of his friend caused the fine line to be crossed. The "wondering" was only his justification. He was well and truly insane.
You, sir. Deserve this song, and I salute you.
Now....enjoy the Swans.
