(ok so I was in the mood the other day…but I had the thought…maybe a short story of this…I have the idea…lets get it out of my mind shall we) ‘What is this’ he thought as he woke. He was laying on the ground his face still cold and dry from the cool hard concrete. He pops his head up to see where he is…he was in a cage… cross hatches of wire that surrounded him but even more surprising, he wasn’t the only pony in here. He can see them some knocked out lying on the ground, others siting in corners and along the walls shaking, mostly talking to themselves. There was a scream. It was loud but like it came from another room above him. He looks up hearing the scream but only seeing the steel roof that is above him. He looks back down a bit scared for himself. One of the other ponies had jumped and laid on the floor covering her ears “Please…not me…I don’t want to die…” He stares at the mare not knowing what to say but before he could say anything the steel roof opened. He looked up as did most of the others but she laid there shaking and talking to herself. Some claw came down and chose its victim. It came down in a flash before he could do anything and grabbed her. He was shocked but being right near her he tried to grab on and pull the claw open. It was no use, it lifted her as he tried his best to open it. She stared at him giving the impression that even she knew it was no use. He looked back but something shocked him making him fall to the ground and landing on his back. The pain was unbearable he couldn’t move, the electricity was still running through him into the concrete. He twitched on the ground but he could still hear her. She screamed saying “Why-“but she stopped and all he could hear was the echo that ran though-out the facility and into his ears. He closed his eyes knowing that he couldn’t do anything but wished that he could. She looked young younger then him. Why was she here but more importantly why was he here? He opened his eyes to see that the steel roof opened again targeting him. He tried to move but the pain was unbearable. It was too quick, it came down in a flash grabbing him, without him being able to do anything. He looked over at one of the others and groaned “Help…me…” but no pony came. They just sat there stared at him. The claw lifted him to another room that was above the cage. Something came down, it was like a mechanical arm and it pointed at him. A voice came over the PA…”-you have some fight in you…we like that-“ and a large knife slid out of the arm pointing at him. He looks down at it, it was pointing at his chest. He struggled but it was no use, the straps where too tight and he looked down to see that the knife had past right through him no pain at all but the worst was to come. It felt like it was draining him sucking every last drop out of his body leaving him thoughtless and trying to figure out what was going on. His head dropped, he couldn’t hold it up anymore. He could see that his dark maroon coat was now grey. ‘What happened why am i…’ he tried to think to himself but it was useless. He couldn’t think of complex things any more, he couldn’t even feel the knife rip out of him. He could only watch but it was getting too dark to see. He falls down to all the other lifeless bodies that had come before him. He turns his head with the last of his strength. Seeing her, the one before him. (i know it isn't well done..i just had like half an hour to type this....so..yea..)
