Epic Pancake Productions did a reading, too.

Written for April Fools 2014. A bit of sad to balance out all the shenanigans.

I was still a young colt when I took my first steps into the world of steam engines and railroading. I was meant to sing the song of steel, the chorus of the railways. Despite the challenges, discomfort, and dangers, I wanted to be a railway pony. I wanted a fine steam engine like #3803. I wanted to be like Highball.

What I got? Well now, there's a story worth telling...

This story is a sequel to Let Them Eat Cake

Applejack takes a moment to consider apple pie, and the stories behind them.

And their brothers will stop at nothing to make their sisters happy.

Rainbow Dash tries her hoof at something she's never done before: poetry

They said proud Saraneighvo would never weep.

They said old Saraneighvo could never die.

Inspired by the story of Vedran Smailović, the real Cellist of Sarajevo.

A friend advised me to write something, so I sat down and typed up this. I had fun, anyway, and hopefully at least one of you will, too.

A monster threatens to destroy Ponyville, again. More importantly, it wrecks havoc with a certain clockmaker's schedule. Quite infuriating, that.

EDIT - KwirkyJ has recorded an audiobook version! I think he did quite well, considering the source material.

Quality time is pretty rare when you've got a country to run.

Sometimes we just have to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life

A little something to get me back into the swing of things. Special thanks to Bronystories for giving me some great advice.
