    I Am Demon


    [Dark][Adventure] -- 1st Place in the Equestria Daily Outside Insight Summer Fanfic Contest!
    Author: Aquaman

    I am Cold, swirling snow that turns ponies against each other, searing ice that freezes them solid. I am Survivor, the one the Friendfyre spell didn't catch, an exception that proves an impossible rule. I am Fear, Frustration, Anger, Hatred, every emotion my Creator has ever felt. I am her Future. I am her Past.

    I am Demon, and Clover the Clever is my Master.

Of course, I couldn’t have done with without my lovely cast of ObabScribbler as Clover the Clever, Wuten AiE as Star Swirl the Bearded and Neighrator Pony as Alfalfa. I hope you all enjoy, and until next time, this is Astro-Brony, signing off.

    Reader Quote: 

    I myself did not uncover this work; it was recommended to me by ShadowKirby, an author I had previously audio read for.  This was another reading I received much better upon reading it than I had anticipated I would.  Poignant and emotive but very serious, this kind of work is suitable for lonesome winter nights when you want "to get the feels flowing," as some may put it.

    One of the magical things about doing audio readings by yourself for dark works is that you find yourself acting for both the good guys and the bad guys.  ShadowKirby remarked that I would get a kick out of doing the voices that insert themselves into Pinkie's mind.  I must admit, bad guys are often fun to play, but voicing poor Pinkie's insidious tormentors was a
