    >Those voices don’t stop, they just keep going on and on.
  2. 2.
    >“Anon?”
  3. 3.
    >“Come out, come out wherever you are…”
  4. 4.
    >“Please don’t hide from us… we love you…”
  5. 5.
    >Even sounds like they’re coming from all around.
  6. 6.
    >“Hello?”
  7. 7.
    >That sounded like it came from the very room you’re hiding in, but there isn’t anything you can see.
  8. 8.
    >Explore the abandoned Ponee factory they said, it will be fun they said.
  9. 9.
    >But nope, fuck no, this place is is very much inhabited.
  10. 10.
    >“Don’t you care about us? We care about you…”
  11. 11.
    >Shit, that sounded literally outside this room.
  12. 12.
    >Stay calm.
  13. 13.
    >Easier said than done when you’re being hunted.
  14. 14.
    >Panicking will only make this all the more worse, especially if it helps them find you.
  15. 15.
    >Right, right…
  16. 16.
    >Breath in, hold it, breath out.
  17. 17.
    >Keep doing that, easy now.
  18. 18.
    >Now get ready to-
  19. 19.
    >The door suddenly opens with a pale yellow light that bleeds in.
  20. 20.
    >A small equine who’s coat is a patchwork of colors pokes its head in.
  21. 21.
    >“Are you in here?”
  22. 22.
    >Dontseemedontseemedontseemedontseeme…
  23. 23.
    >It move its head around slowly as it looks about the room.
  24. 24.
    >You don’t dare take your attention from it, let alone even blink.
  25. 25.
    >A few times it passes over you, each time making your blood to ice.
  26. 26.
    >After a moment or so, it backs out of the room with the door closing behind it.
  27. 27.
    >Not a muscle is moved, nor a breathe taken while listening to the audible clack of its hooves moving away.
  28. 28.
    >What feels like hours pass by before the sound is completely gone.
  29. 29.
    >Silence again, peace.
  30. 30.
    >Your knees nearly buckle as you take hush your breathing.
  31. 31.
    >These things are virtually everywhere in this godforsaken factory.
  32. 32.
    >Of course they are, this is where they were born, this is their home, and they made it clear that they want you here, forever.
  33. 33.
    >A chill runs up your spine at that thought.
  34. 34.
    >Focus dammit, find an exit.
  35. 35.
    >And preferably one that actually opens this time.
  36. 36.
    >That last fire exit wouldn’t budge even a centimeter.
  37. 37.
    >Drew too much noise while fighting it, which how you ended up in this room.
  38. 38.
     
  39. 39.
    >It was some kind of office at one point, with a few desks still remaining.
  40. 40.
    >Would’ve jumped out a window if you were certain you’d survive the fall.
  41. 41.
    >Still have no idea how you ended up on the fourth floor, don’t remember going up any stairs.
  42. 42.
    >This place must be some kind of hell, that’s the only explanation for all the nonsense.
  43. 43.
    >Stop being delusional about this, and escape!
  44. 44.
    >With as much care as possible, you peer out the door.
  45. 45.
    >The old incandescent bulbs bathe the halls in its yellow light, revealing nothing out there.
  46. 46.
    >Can’t be too careful, though.
  47. 47.
    >If you dare to drop your guard for even one second, well… forever is a long time when you think about it.
  48. 48.
    >You crouch low, and start navigating the hallways of nightmares.
  49. 49.
    >Some posters are along the walls; usually an old motivational one, or some safety related.
  50. 50.
    >As fucking if these things were ever safe.
  51. 51.
    >Every corner turns your blood cold, each is treated with the utmost caution.
  52. 52.
    >Any and all areas that without lights are avoided like the plague.
  53. 53.
    >Would never ever dare venture into those.
  54. 54.
    >Some of these can see in the dark as you quickly learned.
  55. 55.
    >Others however, seem to see only as much as you do.
  56. 56.
    >Nevertheless, it only takes on to put an end to your desperate escape.
  57. 57.
    >You find and stealthy go down a set of stairs, which should mean you’re on the third floor.
  58. 58.
    >Two more to go…
  59. 59.
    >Still have no idea what time it is either, the skies haven’t seemed to change.
  60. 60.
    >It’s likely been hours.
  61. 61.
    >Lost your phone after the first encounter with-
  62. 62.
    >*click click chitter*
  63. 63.
    >Every fiber of your being grinds to a complete halt at this corner, from there, your heart begins beating thunderously in your ears.
  64. 64.
    >Swallowing hard, you slowly inch back.
  65. 65.
    >Don’t make it too far before the source of the sound comes around the corner.
  66. 66.
    >A small black bug like equine with various literal holes drilled into its body turns its head, and locks its on directly on you.
  67. 67.
    >*chirp chirp*
  68. 68.
    “Shit.”
  69. 69.
    >*CHIRP!*
  70. 70.
     
  71. 71.
    >Instincts take hold as you sprint away from the terror.
  72. 72.
    >The loud clacking of its hooves against the tiled floors is all that’s need to know it’s hot on your heels.
  73. 73.
    >Run, run, run, run, run!
  74. 74.
    >But as you huff and puff after taking another corner, the reality of the situation is already evident: you won’t outlast this thing.
  75. 75.
    >Yet another corner is darted around, and-
  76. 76.
    >*CRASH*
  77. 77.
    >It didn’t handle that one too well.
  78. 78.
    >Don’t look back, never look back, least you welcome death.
  79. 79.
    >You dash into a random room, and hide out in a large closest.
  80. 80.
    >Mere seconds after entering, the audible sound of your pursuer tears into the room, and immediately begins to search.
  81. 81.
    >Not much you can do at the moment, other than hoping-
  82. 82.
    >“He’s in here?”
  83. 83.
    >Another nightmare has joined into the fray.
  84. 84.
    >*chitters chitters*
  85. 85.
    >“We’ll find him together, don’t worry.”
  86. 86.
    >One is bad enough to deal with.
  87. 87.
    >But two? Don’t think you’re getting out of this one.
  88. 88.
    >The first encounter with them was pure luck, and only escaped by the skin of your teeth.
  89. 89.
    >They ripped your jacket from your body as they clung to you when it happened.
  90. 90.
    >Almost tried to get it back, but had you done that, you wouldn’t be here right now.
  91. 91.
    >A cabinet door sounds like it’s ripped off its hinges nearby.
  92. 92.
    >That’s all you need to know this is it, it’s over.
  93. 93.
    >Never thought you’d die like this.
  94. 94.
    >Fuck it, you’re going down, you’d rather go down fighting.
  95. 95.
    >Didn’t you already try that with that mop you found?
  96. 96.
    >Yeah.
  97. 97.
    >And it revealed how some of these things are machines, like the one tearing apart the room right now.
  98. 98.
    >After seeing it snap your weapon like a twig effortlessly should’ve been proof enough.
  99. 99.
    >Which is exactly why you were trying to find a way out instead.
  100. 100.
    >The closest next to yours opens up abruptly.
  101. 101.
    >You’re next.
  102. 102.
    >Alright, gotta make this count for something.
  103. 103.
    >Adrenaline surges from within, building up throughout your form.
  104. 104.
    >It’s fight or flight, sink or swim.
  105. 105.
     
  106. 106.
    >Seconds count down in agonizing slowness as you await to make your surprise attack.
  107. 107.
    >Something echoes in the distance that breaks the tension like a pane of glass.
  108. 108.
    >Sounded like a voice, though you couldn’t make it out.
  109. 109.
    >Then it happens again with greater clarity, “He’s on the second floor, we can’t let him escape!”
  110. 110.
    >It’s followed up by an immediate sound of your hunters sprinting out of the room.
  111. 111.
    >What, why?
  112. 112.
    >The black one saw you come in here, so how the – you know, fuck it, don’t question this.
  113. 113.
    >Because whatever the case was, lady luck is back on your side, so make the best of it.
  114. 114.
    >You exit the closet to find the room mostly torn apart.
  115. 115.
    >Only a few cabinets, and the closest you were in remain untouched.
  116. 116.
    >Pure. Fucking. Luck.
  117. 117.
    >Once more back into the halls of this hellish place do you venture.
  118. 118.
    >Wish the elevators worked, though that would guarantee alert them to your presence.
  119. 119.
    >Could’ve still used it as a distraction.
  120. 120.
    >Just about every room is unmarked, which makes searching much more difficult.
  121. 121.
    >Seriously, there must be a thousand offices in this building.
  122. 122.
    >You find yet another set of stairs down, and make your way to the second floor.
  123. 123.
    >One more to go.
  124. 124.
    >Gotta hope your luck holds out.
  125. 125.
    >Oddly enough, this floor is almost identical the previous three; rooms and all.
  126. 126.
    >Assuming that is the case, then that should mean the stairway to the first should be easy to find.
  127. 127.
    >Hopefully.
  128. 128.
    >Something has been bothering you as you proceed to sneak around.
  129. 129.
    >The voices have gone silent.
  130. 130.
    >Don’t like that one bit.
  131. 131.
    >Haven’t even heard the sound of their movements either.
  132. 132.
    >Don’t like that at all.
  133. 133.
    >If they were planning something, then why would they just let you go like they did?
  134. 134.
    >They could’ve gotten you then and there, with no need of risk of you escaping.
  135. 135.
    >Who fucking knows, nothing here makes sense, least of all, them.
  136. 136.
    >This place was supposed to be abandoned to begin with, it’s been that way for over ten years now.
  137. 137.
     
  138. 138.
    >Despite that fact, the power still is on, and it’s home to nightmares manifested into reality.
  139. 139.
    >Certain this isn’t some kind of dream, otherwise you wouldn’t have felt what you felt.
  140. 140.
    >It’s not a lucid one either, because you would’ve been able to control things.
  141. 141.
    >You peer around a corner, and instantly withdraw upon seeing one of the ponies.
  142. 142.
    >Only saw it for a split second, but you’re sure it had its back turned.
  143. 143.
    >Got a serious feeling of deja vu.
  144. 144.
    >You tip toe backwards till you come upon a room, and quietly enter it.
  145. 145.
    >Surprisingly, this isn’t an office, but instead, a maintenance room.
  146. 146.
    >No tools in here, just a couple of metal closets.
  147. 147.
    >Those however, are too small for you to hide in.
  148. 148.
    >in fact, there’s nowhere to hide in here.
  149. 149.
    >Shitshitshit!
  150. 150.
    >Does the door lock at least?
  151. 151.
    >Nope, of course not…
  152. 152.
    >Okay, don’t panic.
  153. 153.
    >Just hold to the door, and pray the thing outside doesn’t try to open it.
  154. 154.
    >As you wait with hushed breath, there’s nothing but silence in the air.
  155. 155.
    >Did the thing move or not?
  156. 156.
    >For all you know, it’s right outside this very room.
  157. 157.
    >Don’t let paranoia get to you, it’s not going the situation any better.
  158. 158.
    >The only way to know for sure is to peek out.
  159. 159.
    >Dammit, just be, very, very, careful…
  160. 160.
    >With just a crack opened, you see into the hallway.
  161. 161.
    >Nothing is out there, though.
  162. 162.
    >Where the fuck did it go? It was there moments ago, you’re certain of it.
  163. 163.
    >It either left while you weren’t looking, or it was your imagination.
  164. 164.
    >Prefer it to be the former over the latter.
  165. 165.
    >You breath out a small sigh, and leave again.
  166. 166.
    >Minutes of searching later, the stairway down is found.
  167. 167.
    >Feel nearly overwhelmed with this discovery.
  168. 168.
    >Celebrate once you’re as far away from this death trap as possible.
  169. 169.
    >Step by step you descend down.
  170. 170.
    >The second both your feet touch the first floor, everything stops all at once.
  171. 171.
    >“...Hello, A-Anon…”
  172. 172.
    >Very slowly, you look to your right.
  173. 173.
    >An ashen gray pony with a stone colored mane and tail stares at you with flickering purple eyes.
  174. 174.
     
  175. 175.
    >“Dining, we found you finale.”
  176. 176.
    >Your eyes shoot to your left.
  177. 177.
    >An off white unicorn pony with a crooked smile wobbles as it stands there, it’s royal purple mane and tail look worse for wear.
  178. 178.
    >*chirp*
  179. 179.
    >That came from behind you, don’t even need to turn around to know who it is either.
  180. 180.
    >“We’re so happy to see you again.” So says the patchwork pony from earlier.
  181. 181.
    >More start appearing form seemingly from nowhere.
  182. 182.
    >They each are looking at you with the same sickeningly sweet smile.
  183. 183.
    >Each of them is wrong in some way, shape, and/or form; whether it’s their voice, appearance, or something else entirely, it matters not.
  184. 184.
    >One by one, they say something.
  185. 185.
    >“We love you.”
  186. 186.
    >“Take care of us, and we’ll take care of you.”
  187. 187.
    >“We can laugh and play throughout the day.”
  188. 188.
    >“We can cuddle and sleep through the joyous night.”
  189. 189.
    >“Stay with us.”
  190. 190.
    >“Forever.”
  191. 191.
    >“And ever.”
  192. 192.
    >“And ever.”
  193. 193.
    >All of these words might as well be your last rites.
  194. 194.
    >The only thing you’re focused on is straight ahead; the long hallway that leads to the lobby.
  195. 195.
    >They haven’t moved yet, seemingly waiting on what you’re going to do.
  196. 196.
    >Didn’t bother to count them, but there’s over dozen here, with more popping up with each passing second.
  197. 197.
    >Could you outrun them all?
  198. 198.
    >Don’t know.
  199. 199.
    >Then what are you going to do?
  200. 200.
    >Try.
  201. 201.
    >With the speed that would make your ancestors proud, you sprint forth.
  202. 202.
    >A sound that could only described as a series of train crashes follows from behind.
  203. 203.
    >Don’t stop.
  204. 204.
    >Don’t look.
  205. 205.
    >Don’t think.
  206. 206.
    >Escape.
  207. 207.
    >Escape.
  208. 208.
    >Escape!
  209. 209.
    >The double doors to the lobby fly open as you barrel through them.
  210. 210.
    >One of the demons shoots straight past you into a wall with an audible crack.
  211. 211.
    >Another, sweeps from under your legs to grab a hold, but you reflexively jump over it.
  212. 212.
    >You take off through the lobby still possessing the will to survive this nightmare.
  213. 213.
    >An avalanche of sound continues to follow closely.
  214. 214.
    >Twenty feet.
  215. 215.
    >So close now to escaping.
  216. 216.
    >Sixteen feet.
  217. 217.
    >The exit sign is salvation.
  218. 218.
    >Twelve feet.
  219. 219.
     
  220. 220.
    >You’re not dying today, you’ll live.
  221. 221.
    >Eight feet.
  222. 222.
    >Freedom awaits out there.
  223. 223.
    >Four feet away, and a horrible shock of pain bashes into the middle of your back.
  224. 224.
    >You crash into the ground with a scream of agony.
  225. 225.
    >in spite of that, you try to crawl forward, only for something to jump right in your way.
  226. 226.
    >There looking down on you, is a powder blue pegasus pony, with an oddly colored rainbow mane, and icy blue eyes.
  227. 227.
    >She giggles cutely, and shakes her head.
  228. 228.
    >“Sorry I had to use my kungfu action on you, but we can’t let you leave, Anon.”
  229. 229.
    >She blinks with a smug smile, then looks up to somewhere behind you.
  230. 230.
    >“We’re all friends here, and now… you’re our newest friend.”
  231. 231.
    >All at once, a chorus of voices call out a single word, “Forever.”
  232. 232.
    >Not a scream is uttered, nor a flinch of a movement occurs, for the last thing you see is a sea of colorful misshapen equines that falls upon you.
