Over half the population is dead.  At first, we thought they were freak accidents, but now it’s clearly malevolent.  It’s like the Stable itself has turned against us!  Yesterday, the school sealed itself and plasma was vented into the room.Twenty-three colts and fillies were murdered horribly, their bodies literally melting away!  We could hear their screams!  My nephew was in the class.  He’d just gotten his cutie mark; he was going to grow up to be an artist!
