"Patient two, two, zero… status… unstable." Rung a voice through the darkness. "Mental synopsis unclear, physical attributes undetermined… prognosis… mental, and catatonic instability… patient is beyond help." The voice was now taken away by a slow and constant beep, like a machine on flat line. Then there was a single beep, followed by another, and then more and more. Each beep carried on an echo and was replaced by another in a rhythmic pattern.

"C'mon blue… it's time to sleep… don't worry, the angles will keep you safe… just head towards the light… everything will be alright… head…towards…the…light." A female voice echoed on in my head as I felt my body becoming comfortably numb.

"Patient 220 is flat lining… get the chock paddles, basic procedures… nurse, get me 50 cc's of adrenalin… HURRY!" a voice echoing through my mind shouted. I felt my body get hit with a sudden shock right after a loud voice shouted "clear". It was followed by another…and another… but soon it stopped and the sound of a flat line was the only thing that could be heard. "Patient 220… time of death… 5:27, Saturday, July 15th, 2011."

"Doctor… should I get the mortician?"

"Yes… have him bring a body bag." Everything was quiet and the only thing that could be heard was a constant tone… a flat line. "DAMN IT NURSE… turn that damn thing off." Suddenly the constant beep was gone… and everything was quiet, dark… cold.

Could this really be my life… is this all that there is for me? To die so young, to never have had a special somepony to lie with, never got into college or had a job I actually liked, I died a nameless and faceless pony. Nopony will cry over my death, I have nopony… nopony at all. And now I lie here, in this cold abyss I call death, wondering if there is an afterlife… or if I will simply stop existing. What would it be like…? If I was just…gone, all those memories, emotions, all the time I've spent in this world, just…gone. Would anypony even notice I was ever there, or would I just be a distant memory…lost and forgotten, thrown into the void… tossed into the place where happiness goes to die. A cold abyss… that's all there is for me now… nothing. I fell through this void of cold and darkness and at the end… I saw a light.

It cut through the darkness like a knife and covered my body. And for a moment I thought that maybe I was wrong, maybe there is a place beyond death where I can live with comfort. Maybe there is a god; maybe heaven is a place where souls can rest in peace. As the light consumed me I felt a tear run down my cheek and I felt happiness, like there was hope, that I still did exist and I wasn't going to be forgotten. And as I slipped through the barrier of darkness and into the light I felt… alive, once again. Not physically alive, but I felt like I could continue living. And suddenly… there was darkness once again, but it was a different darkness. I felt like I was being smothered in a blanket or something, there was something cold and hard under me and a small sliver of light hung above my head.

I put my hoof to the opening and it grew wider. I pushed and eventually the opening consumed me and I found myself in a room. Once I realized I had just emerged from a plastic body bag slung on top of a metal cart I began to question everything I saw and felt before. Above me hung a small light bulb which shone light over the whole room. I took the time to take in my surrounding. Behind me was an incinerator. The controls were to the left of it, and I was lined up to be next. the small hole which can comfortable fit in a single body was left wide open as the charred metal door seemed to stare at me, like it wanted my soul. Around me… piles of ash and more body bags than I could count. They were just thrown on the ground. Soulless vessels lying on the ground covered in plastic, sitting there to rot and decay. This was not a regular room… this room was death. Another look at the incinerator and I saw a metal plate, covered in ash, it must be a label.

Curiously I put my hoof to it and swept the ashes off of it. The label was now visible… but it was not delightful. "Ponyville Hospital, Main Heating Furnace" in shock at what I saw I denied the thought, but I looked over the furnace once more. Instead of one large smoke stack there was a stock of them, like a tree. They branched off in all directions supplying all the rooms with heating… it's sickening. This can't really be the same hospital I was put into… can it? I need to get out of here…now.

I tried jumping off of the metal art I was on but the carts wheels moved the cart from under me and I lost my balance. The cart as well became unstable and I fell into a pile of body bags as the cart fell and hit the concrete ground sending out a loud metal ring that echoed in the room. I stopped for a minute praying that nopony heard that. When nopony came I breathed a sigh of relief. I turned my head and stared at once of the body bags under me. Unluckily for me the body bad I landed on was open. So I let out a terrified scream as I saw a half decayed face staring back at me. I quickly rolled back off the body bags and onto the cement floor which was cold as ice. I quickly jumped to my hooves and backed up to the door. I needed to get out of this place, and now. I turned to open the door, but it was shut tight. I was trapped in here. With these bodies used only as fuel to keep the hospital running. I was terrified.

I felt like they were looking at me… lying in wait… for me.
