"I was your average guy who is trying to move on with his life. I was living with an old friend of mine in his apartment after his parents... I don't know what happened to them, but I remember that the guy went away for a while; he did leave me some money for food and rent, so I'm guessing that he'll be back someday. To be honest, I'm not too sure of that, either.
From there, I just tried to live normally. To make this long story short: in my free time I met the ponies, and got sort of interested in the whole show. After a few days of seeing them whenever I got the time, I started to see them in different ways:
Yes, I mean in the hallucinations that come with this fever that just appeared and that I dislike so much. Not that I hate them, but I don't think I like them too much, either...
Especially not after what has happened... Honestly, I think I'd like to forget all of this."
O_O wait, what?
Hey look, someone saw your story!
Crap, now I'm obligated to proof-read.
This is really well written. Good job!
Ponies on the ceiling, huh. Interesting...
I assume you mean "something LIKE "I'd like a ..."
didn't SEE me.
Otherwise, just as good as the last 2 chapters!
um.
Is this a true story? PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY.
This is fantastic. I love this story already.
Loved ones.
He never told me where he went? That didn't make a lot of sense.
Anyways, another good chapter! Keep writing, my friend!

Heh, missed those. Thanks for catching them for me; I'll try to be a tad more cautious with those misspellings. ...Text processors oftentimes don't pick grammar and/or tense errors up.
Glad you've enjoyed this.
I was a little reluctant to post it, given that I'm not truly used to show incomplete works-- am I talking too much about myself?
Fo realz this time, a big 'thank you' for you and, well, anybody else has taken (and let's hope will take) part of his/her time to read this.
Oh and, in case you were wondering, (though I doubt it) this isn't going to be a HiE. They... tend to get a harsh treatment, and I'm not up to that yet.
Whoa, wut?
Suspense!
Am I your only reader or something?
1680761
I think I should have added a last part to this chapter, but it might have gone on for a little too long, then: not that I really mind, but I don't want to make a 5k+ words chapter out of nowhere. How am I supposed to follow that, then?
...Umm, I guess no, but you are truly the only one who has bothered to comment on this. Not that there's... umm... much material to comment about...
Hey, don't worry about it! You're a great author.
1733301
Aw, come on, don't say that. I'm nowhere near the best~
I promise you I'll put something up either later today or past midnight. I owe you a chapter.
Good chapter! I only have a couple of mistakes:
"He" would make more sense.
"the"; also this took a couple reads for it to make sense.
Otherwise, I really liked the bit where he was playing with the AJ figure.
Keep writing!
1735257 "Owe" me a chapter, huh?
....why?
Am I just that awesome? 
1739404
Ahahahaha, that happens when I write late at night and I'm too busy to take my time at proof-reading...
Thanks again for catching those two. I'll try to fix up things around the barn as soon as I can.
The "let's play with a pony figure" bit was actually quite fun to write. I was bored at History class and that came out, so I guess it's quite fine.
I said I had to do a chapter fast because I tend to put 5~6 days between finishing each one, and I had started to fall a little behind. Plus, I try to treat those who take time off to read these things quite well and, well, I just made the two points meet at some point. [I repeated words twice there, heh...]
Soberedit: TARDYYYY
Coolio! Nice story again. Suspense and stuff.
That doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Try "how long was I out for?"
Again: nice story, thank you for updating. I went
when I saw it.
1845688
I swear I stared at that phrase when I was writing and I said "huh, that makes sense... right...?"
Guess I was wrong
About how long it took to actually update this, it was just my time disappearing. I swear it won't happen again.
1851885 Eh, no big deal. I have other stories I'm reading, right?
Take as much time as you need, my sir.
Oh yeah, forgot: I now have an Applejack figure. Thought I should mention. I am holding it as I type.
Also also: Merry Hearth's Warming!!!!!!
1852786
It's obvious you do.
butineedyoudontgoawaywhoelseisgoingtoreadthisI'll go back to the "6 days, one chapter" pace, it wasn't too difficult to keep up. It was just that schoolwork piled up in the middle of December. Now I'm free.
And are you bucking imaginary trees like our Matt, here?
I actually hope you are doing whatever the hay you want with her but, please oh please, don't let what's about to happen to our protagonist happen to you. Please don't.
thatdoesntcountasaspoilerThank you very much. I didn't respond in time, but I hope you had a great umm, Hearth's Warming.
1859709 The crossed-out bits made me laugh.
No, I'm not gong insane, although I do have a Rainbow Dash too now.
Messed up quotations and italics.
Than, not that.
*fnishes*
.......SUSPENSIFYED!
Nice chapter bro, looking forward to part two!
1949646
I really need to start to separate thoughts and quotation marks. I need another symbol that I don't use... hmm...
Thanks
I was a little hesitant to post it as is, given the long time I had gone without updating this story. Let's just hope it doesn't happen again...
1980050 Jeez, are you worried you'll lose your only reader?
Silly author.
No really, post whatever whenever. I'll always be here to spellcheck for you.
1985183
Umm... yes? Worried about losing the person I write for? Well, at least for me, it's something.
I guess I should. There's... something about not being able to keep up an acceptable schedule. It's more of a personal thing I guess.
1985212 If you're saying your scheduling sucks, I know how you feel. I do not have a scheduling.
1985249
Better not to have something than to have it done poorly
Except not. Well, I guess it's a thing of just pester myself with getting stuff done.
1985269 My usual response to things I need to do is something like "Oh, I need to get something done? Better go surf Facebook for three hours!
"
Whoa, what? Not real? Is the MC really this Silk pony? Is he actually in an asylum? Am I just making crazy assumptions? Probably!
Yay, the story only I'm reading updated! I wonder who this Hoarfrost character is....
How are you feeling, author-with-whom-I-have-become-friends-despite-never-having-met-him/her-in-real-life?
2068554
Very amusing, honestly, considering I haven't read it. It sounds oddly similar.
The concept behind that story is like a reverse of the sub-plot in here
It's probably better.The explanation behind basically everything that happened here will take some time. I have the ideas in my head, but putting them all down in the story together might seem a bit strange.
Better to have only one consistent reader than none
I'm feeling slightly better than before, thank you. Finally had some days without too much things to do and I could think more clearly.
Yes, it seems like we've become friends all out of a sudden. It's quite strange.
The title is misspelt, you CLEARLY meant this
#sarcasmyoloswagronpaul420blazeitnoscopexXmontagezzXx
Yay, update! Can't comment now, must do homework. Dumb school.
2089667
The hashtag is out of this world. I just read it and had to stop like three times before I realized I was saying it out loud. Needless to say, I now condone lots of things. And yes, this story urgently needs more cowbell.
Edit: "And the only prescription... Is more ponies..." [Found on the video itself.] ...calldacopz

I love this story so far. Though is it normal that I get the same vibrations that I get from Silent Hill? (I mean, you aren't going for a psychological horror story..., right?
)
2100240
So glad to hear you're enjoying it. It's great, hearing that.
Umm, as far as I'm concerned, no, or at least not yet. I'm not sure I'd be quite good at writing psychological horror since I haven't ever tried, so my best guess is that it's pure coincidence. ...Now that you meantion it, I might incorporate something about it, I've got to admit I simply adore the atmosphere of the Silent Hill series. Of course, I don't think I'll be able to replicate it, but I'll be damned I didn't try.
Again, thanks.
2100557 I think you underestimate yourself, you already have quite the atmosphere going on.
)
In this kind of story, it need to build up slowly. And you manage that greatly so far.
The scene at the village with "Blizzard" was definitely unsettling.
I just wish we would learn more about what happened at Canterlot a little faster (don't worry, I'm just a bit impatient
Well, at least we know that one of the Princess is alright, otherwise the day/night cycle would have caused some panic.
2102389
I do appreciate them, even when I'll hesitate when it comes to accepting them.
Thanks for your kind words
About the fact of knowing what happened in Canterlot, I'm also thinking I might take too long to explain it. I guess I'll have to explore another character's backstory first and then just start to build from there. ...Well, that's the idea I have in my head, at least.
Of course, we at least know that somepony raised the sun. Considering the amount of ponies that can do so, I guess it's safe to assume Celestia's still around.
...In unrelated news, I really need to give Matt's part of the story some direction.
Hey, an update! Hi Matt, it's been a while!
Sorry about the utter lack of reading. My laptop's headphone jack stopped working so I had to send it in for repairs. I didn't even know this had updated until I got around to checking my mail. I now have, like, 30 emails.
Front, not from.
Otherwise, great chapter!
Excuse me while I empty my guts after that last few paragraphs. *HURBLURLUBULBGRLBGULBRUGB*
I have no idea what's going on but I love it. MOAR!
Seriously though, sorry it took so long to get here. Life happened.
.........
welp.
