    An Extensive Epilogue to Equestria: Book One

    A Pony Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy Western, inspired by Stephen King's The Dark Tower series but set in an original universe.

    Dust and Fruit follows Earth Ponies Ben and Silver as they make their way across a broken Equestria, following a map left to them in an abandoned Unicorn Village.

    "His voice was shaky and out of practice. His throat was sandpaper."

    I don't know why, but that bugs me. :trixieshiftright:

    "They walked on in silence."

    ned spac under ett

    "awoken by his"

    You hit enter accidentally? :duck:

    "He sounded better, though, Ben thought."

    One too many comma?

    Thats all I noticed, can't wait to read more!

    By the way, it's hard to notice errors when you're into the story. :scootangel:

    Thanks a lot, everything you mentioned has been fixed :derpytongue2: Except "awoken by his", which seems to be a formatting issue as it doesn't show up in the editor, it looks fine. :rainbowhuh:

    like this story and will track it but at the end of the first part silver should have said "the world is moving on." and can u give me a link to the original story? i loved the dark tower books so if these are based off of it i will likely enjoy reading.

    Ah, The Dark Tower... I've read some of it, though it has been a while. Should try reading it again...

    Regardless, this pulls of an atmosphere that I love, and have tried myself but can never really seem to get right. Surreal, post-apoc, and, well, I want to use the word "quiet" for whatever reason. There are many things that still need to be explained, but I don't really mind. I'm confident that all will be revealed in good time...

    Okay, this has forced me to read The Dark Tower

    I just hope it's half as good as this

    What am I saying, it's a King novel!

    This has definitely influenced me enough to read some of of King's work. This is such a great read and needs more attention. I only spotted on mistake I think "after than tiny town" should be "after that tiny town". Apart from that great job, I hope you continue with this ^^

    This is really cool. I haven't read Equestria: Book One (if it's actually a thing?), but I really enjoyed this. Looking forwards to seeing more of it.

    Ooooh, this is really interesting so far!

    One thing though: Unless this desert is magically unique in some way, deserts actually get REALLY cold at night because there's no cloud covering to insulate them. Building a fire or huddling for warmth would be essential to avoid risking freezing to death. :twilightsheepish:
