Forgotten by Ketchup504

Day 1:
Great, today, a tunnel collapsed! In a Stable! Could you believe it? Anyway, its just me, all alone, behind a big ol' pile of rubble. It'll be a while for anypony to come looking, given the isolation of this part of the Stable. I don't know if this terminal is still connected to the net, but I hope somepony will one day find this, and update those damned tunnel braces!
Day 2:
Thank goodness a water pipe broke in the collapse, or I'd be dehydrated. However, there is little food in here, and the air is very stale. I found a closet with a few cans of cram, Goddesses, that stuff is awful, but it'll keep me kickin'.
Day 3:
I'm guessing the air I've been breathing is irradiated somewhat. PipBuck says I'm sick. I'm starting to believe it. Outta cram, too, so if this damned terminal is connected to the net, you guys better stop playing this game!
Day 4:
I threw it up. All of it still in my system, anyway. Mane is falling out a bit. Looks like I'm not getting out after all. Oh, wait, I hear digging!
Day 5:
Digging is coming from the opposite direction, from outside the Stable. Close, too. I'm really hurtin' now. Rads are up. Only a matter of time. I slip in and out of consciousness, and I'm not hungry anymore.
Day 6:
I can hear them! Creatures, mean-sounding ones! I'm in no shape to defend myself, so this looks like the end. I see something coming through the wall. Looks like a big ant? Make it two. They are pinching at me with their mandibles through the hole. I'm not afraid. I'll let em kill me. If they don't, rads will. Stable didn't care a bit about me anyway.

Sharp Quill read the entries made by the unfortunate Stable pony. He wondered out loud to his fellow Steel Rangers why the Stable's inhabitants hadn't come to help him. Although, it did explain the large amount of ants that were there before them.
