There's a chair here

You have stopped

There's a chair here


Why is there a chair here?


It's an empty room

With the lights

And the buzz

And

A chair


And you remember


Ten rooms ago



Or was it ten hundred rooms ago?



There were two chairs

Facing a wall

Facing each other

Facing nothing


Just like this one


It faces the wall

And the corner

But neither

It breaks up the symmetry

It is empty

As this room is empty


But why is it here?


Why were the other ones there?


Who is it for?

You're the only pony here


You're the only pony anywhere



The rest of the chamber is empty

Full of nothing

But fluorescent lights

And buzzing

Pointless


Purposeless


Forgotten


Crooked


Broken


It had to have been placed here


Or dropped here



Like you



Twilight Sparkle


Twilight


Who would miss a chair?


Twilight, you have to keep moving


Who would miss you?


Turn around and pick a direction

Any direction


But what if you find more empty chairs?


Just go

Move


What if you chose to sit in one?


Move, Twilight


You turn

You trot down the corridor



If you waited long enough

Would someone come sit beside you?


Move


Or would it take you somewhere deeper

Further

Someplace more broken than here

Than you?


Move

Move

Move


You trot faster
