Waking up in ponyland was weird but it's something i can deal with. Waking up as a main character of a cartoon show? That can be easily dodged. Suddenly have a screen that keeps on forcing me to be said main character? Hell nah!
When you discard something, it's easy to forget the wrongs you committed. But, more times than not, the past always comes back to remind you of your fallibility.
In the stars, a hundred years' journey away, the alicorns gather, to mourn, mate, and birth. Celestia hears their call. Dotted Line wants her to review tax rebate applications.
Hmm... maybe it's a 'mere sketch' as you may call it, but to be honest, it's really nice. Your descriptions sound nice and give a detailed, calm view of the surroundings. Also, given how short it is, you have still managed to get out a lot of emotions and thoughts. The italics getting a little confusing at times and some minor tense slip-ups aside, it was a pleasant read. Have an upvote!
So, I liked this. It has a dark air to it, with the narrator's obsession coming across as downright creepy from the beginning, and ending on that almost sinister note. I also like how you never say who this is, leaving the reader to guess that this is just a random guard officer, whose motives and mentality are unknown to us. Very much the monologue of a madman...

Second: holy f... oO I just reread it from your(reader's) perspective and wow. I intended for it to be creepy, but, I guess, I never truly considered what narrator anonymity means for a story like this
8503114 Well I'm glad you at least intended to be a bit creepy. I was a little worried when I wrote the comment that you might have intended it to be romantic. I think it's the anonymity that really makes ot creepy: if this were revealed to be a beloved court jester or guard captain, or some secret affair she was keeping at arms length, that wouldn't be creepy. But this guy? He could be a crazy pony who is just imagining that she'd return the affection, and we wouldn't know the truth until the explosive ending, after several chapters of tension.
...hmm... that might actually be an interesting story...
Interesting.... very interesting.

Well, the "mere sketch" part was not to detriment, just a warning of how brief it is:)
