A simple wooden cube sat on Twilight's desk. She stared at it, watching it, observing its every detail. She had a sickly feeling about this box, and it scared her. It was given to her by a mysterious pony in a dark alley. He had some sort of necklace on a chain around his neck, with an insignia she didn't recognize. He told her to take the object, but didn't give her a reason why or tell her what is was. Looking back, she wondered what drove her to take the cube in the first place. The whole situation practically dripped criminal intent.
From what she could tell, the cube was one solid piece of wood. There were no gaps where pieces would have been fit together, no screws or nails, no glue, nothing. It was a perfect cube. The edges were rounded out, and the cube was shiny from a layer of shellac. The wood grain was orientated top to bottom, the darker bands thin against the lighter solid wood. She picked it up in her magic and shook it. A small rattling could be heard inside. She set the box back down.
Twilight Had an idea. She stepped back and closed her eyes, her horn glowed, and she cast a spell. A cone of black light lit up from her horn, staying in place and pointing towards where she looked.
The spell was an x-ray spell, allowing her to see into the box. It was a fairly new spell, so it wasn't perfected yet, but it was a cloudy image. The box was indeed hollow on the inside, with a small cylinder. The cylinder had a few metal wires coming from it, with what looked like a clock attached to the wires.
"Oh for buck's sake." Twilight said. Just then, the time bomb concealed in the wooden box detonated, destroying a good chunk of Twilight's home.
Heh.
I gotta ask, Corgi. Did you think of this yourself? If so, great job!
I like this chapter.
Not surprised.
4391930 yes, i did think of this myself. It started out that the box was actually alive and the story would jump between the POV of the box and Twilight, but I couldn't think of a way to conclude it so I took the easy way out- high explosives.
And Pinkemena, I'm not surprised you like this either.
4392060
What if you had the box alive, but it turns out there's a bomb in the box the whole time!?
See what he did there?
He sees what I did there! Also, I claim that idea for my own!!!
4392243 As M. Night Shyamalan would say, "What a twist!"
4392284
What do you call it when you have a lot of story ideas, but is unable to actually write the stories?
How about "dumbass writer" !?
Don't be an ass, Francis!
Who is this Francis you speak of?
Fuck you!
4392395 Writer's block, most likely.
4392463
Ideas on how to get rid of writers block?
Can we go? This guy didn't get your reference.
I'm staying, Pinkie, but you can go to bed now.
Wooho-*falls over, already asleep*
Please answer, I need sleep. It's 11:57 at night here!
4392580 sorry, it was late here too. I got no tips. I usually just ignore it and the eventually it goes away.
and no, i didn't get your reference.
4393894
1.
Left 4 Dead reference.
2. I can`t exactly ignore it. Makes schoolwork hell for me.
4394023 oh, THAT reference. I thought you were making a different one. Oh well. And that sucks that you can't ignore it. I find that the best way to deal with my problems is to ignore them.
And if that don't work, use more gun.
4394039
Ignoring definitely does not work for me, or my brother would be gone!
I only have this to say, Corgi. Here ya go!

Couldn`t have said it better myself, Pinkie!
4394207 Yup. Engie reference.
4394238
Hey, has anyone seen my Plasma Cutter?
Check your FunBox.
I DID! Oh Hi Corgi, have you seen my FunBox?
4394362 Is it small, square, and dark? Does it have cool fun locks?
4394482
Yes! Do you have it!?
CALM DOWN, PINKIE!!!
FUCK OFF, PSYCHO!
By the way, Corgi, would you mind checking out the story I'm writing? (You know, the one involving the box?) After all, it wouldn't hurt to have an experienced writer help.
4395169 I'm honored that you think of me as an experienced writer. I'd love to check it out.
And no, pinkie, I don't have your box. You must have left it at home.
4395500
Alright! One question though. How do I send you a copy of the story!?
Where do you think I looked!?
Did you check your hair, Pinkie?
Um. No?
JUMPIN JESUS ON A POGO STICK! I JUST REALIZED I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU!

I'm going to fix that, right now!
4396584 either send me a link to it once its finished or give me a password to view the unfinished story before you publish it. (Not sure if that makes me able to edit it or not, I wouldn't anyway, but accidents happen so i'd prefer not to.)
4396970 I look in my notifications and see that eye icon with the text "Psycho is watching you" and I glance at my open window half expecting to see some crazy person with a butcher knife staring at me.
Thanks for the follow, by the way

Okay, I'll send you the link once I finish/get the story up. Remember, I'm still in high school, so my grammar isn't perfect.
As for the person staring at you while holding a butcher knife, that would be my brother in a few years. Me, I think of myself as a 'Harmless Moron, Insane Badass'. Most of the time, I'm just a guy who acts stupid from time to time. But press the wrong buttons, and I can and will kill you with anything nearby.
It's the only time I'm scared of him!
TL;DR version: Story goes up soon, will send you link, and piss me off, I'll know how effective my torture tech is!
You talk about strange things too much.
SHUT UP! Talk to ya tomorrow, Corgi!
4397243 Hey, I'm a sophomore in college and MY grammar isn't even perfect. You can see from how I write that grammar isn't my priority. I mostly look at content. Is the idea good? Was it executed in an interesting way? Stuff like that. I'm not a harsh judge, either. I have a nasty habit of sugar-coating everything. (I hate to disappoint and discourage people) so no worries there.
