Emerald Sky is a young, homeless filly living in a shabby alleyway in Manehatten, her home being made of nothing but cardboard. Her life came to this after a number of tragic events. And yet she keeps smiling even through tough times.
Based on an original idea by Cider Barrel (taken from this short audio skit by him).
Here is an audio draft of the story's first part. I highly recommend to check it out!
Huge thanks to Kill Joy for the cover art!

This story could bring a tear to a glass eye. Please, I beg of you, continue this.
My name is Commander Kaidan and this is my favorite editor on the site.
Sorry Breath of Plagues, but I've filed paperwork to have you declared legally dead because you don't talk to me anymore
Anyway, Selbi is a great author/editor and I like this story.
Please give resolution
Will Read this on my day off tomorrow
Try writing something more challenging next time. This site is already filled with slack writers that do nothing by write overused sad stories. Don't try and over extend story elements (e.g. sorrow) to make complete stories. Good stories are comprised of multiple story elements.
Pretty good. I'd love to see it continued.
NO. CONTINUE.
3323969 Of course! Because your stories really break the mold with intense storytelling and creative premises. Just stop talking for a while.

Yes, i know, apparently i write text books. However, that does not mean that i don't know how to write stories. I really use this site as a sounding board (you would think people would read up on me a bit).
Sorrow is one of the easiest emotions to evoke in people. Everyone has experienced the loss of a loved one, a pet, everyone has gone through hard times. That makes it an easy genre to write in because people can easily connect to the character in the stories. Easy, as in no challenge. Easy, as in slack writing.
If you think about it, writing sad stories on a site like this is almost pathetic. With characters and environments already invented, you would think that people would want to challenge themselves since most of the hard work is already done for them. I have been sadly proven wrong time and time again.
They say that comedy is one of the hardest genres to write in. Why don't you try it?
3324135>>3324088
If that's okay with you, I'd say you two take this argument to a private conversation. I appreciate your opinion, Exodus, but complaining about it here won't change anything.
Thank you.
3324169
ITS NOT A COMPLAINT!
Just trying to motivate you to be a better writer.
3324169 mkay
I need a fucking drink.
I'm too soft-- *cough* I mean, who put those onions there?
[img]twilight.ponychan.net/chan/files/src/137937888216.png[/img]
Keep up the good writing.
3323938
Resolution? where's the fun in that
3323950 Oh looks it's Emerald Sky.
3323998 3324055 3323873 The more feedback the better the chance, but i too want this to continue.
Take all my feels, just continue this.
I really like it and I think you should continue it...please?
3324176 You do realize that english is not Selbi's first language, right? He's writing stories on here to further his understanding of the english language, and for that, I applaud him.
There were a few parts that were a little rushed, but overall, I enjoyed this! Have a fav and a like! You really should continue this, and I wouldn't be surprised if this got featured.
Also, have five spikes
3324669
I am not sure how that applies to anything I have said.
liked, tracked and faved. please continue it?
I really hope you continue this story, Not liking that complete tag on there.
Definitely think it's worth more chapters, Emerald Sky needs further views
Thanks for the read anyway, Whether you continue or not, I feel it was worth it.
I do not see a derpy pony
I see Derpy, a pony
someday I will figure out how to put a sig on Fimfic
Seconded 3327462
I know OC stories aren't well appreciated by some people I appreciate them and so do many others lol, you just need to write them so they are not overly cliche. And this filly is far from that.. all though it is something I like to write about. Homeless orphans... maybe cause I'm crazy but eh.
3324700
it means he is starting to learn English better by writing a sad one-shot story, and honestly, people are allowed to write as many sad stories as they wish, its their own creative process honestly, even if people hate them because they make others sad.
This story is pretty good.
But it lacks a character. What was it?
*Ahem* MORE!!!!!!!
3328597
Not exactly sure what you mean. It has a character, Emerald Sky. Or am I missing something here?
3328967
Babs.
3329010
I don't get it and something tells me that I should feel embarrassed because of that.
3329022
Oh, it's ok.
Babs lives in Manehattan, so it would be expected to see a cameo.
Besides that, it's a good atory
Do it.
plez.
More.
hm...very nice little story id love ot see more of the character and her life :3
This is a nice little story. I feel sad for this little filly. I also think there is room for more. Maybe a full grown story about a little unicorn filly finally finding some home and happyness maybe?
Anyway I liked this story.
KEEP GOING. I LOVE THIS STORY. THAT IS ALL.
This is a rather good story. there is something to build more onto here,I would like to read more.
I love this story so far! Can't wait to see what happens at the contest!
This is a lovable story, and Emmy is a very lovable character. It makes me happy to see that her life is getting better, even if only a little bit
. I'm happy you are continuing it. This story has a place on my user page.
MOAR!
That is all... 
By the way I like how the stallion did NOT offer her a place to stay right off the bat. Many orphan stories do this and I say its a tad rushing heh, so good job!
So sweet, nice story!
Love it, keep up the good work.
3334965
Truth to be told, I was one step away from writing that, but then I reminded myself NOT to rush it. As I said in the A/N, I didn't want her to seem like a Mary Sue. :V
It is not just Mary Sue, it is... well like I said: rushing. No one pony or human or whatever would take in a child permanently at the drop of a hat. That takes 2-3 chapters
lol 3335135
I like... More...
So glad to see you continuing the story, And I am waiting in anticipation for the next segment already.
Thank you for giving such a story to the community.
Signed,
An appreciative follower.
I do not see a derpy pony.
I see Derpy, a pony.
one day I will figure out how to put a sig on Fimfic.
3335152
Oh don't worry, just because I said I want to work my way towards a happy ending doesn't mean it won't be a rough way to that destination. :V
As for the apples... Not really sure how to counter your argument. She doesn't like apple stumps. Yeah, that was totally the reason why I wrote that.
A new chapter! Awesome!
I think this is one golden opportunity for Emmy to get out of this situation. I´m sure this will turn out to be a great story and I´m looking forward for more. Also don´t worry. She doesn´t turn into a Mary Sue.
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
that was awsome!
