One morning, Rarity discovers a strand of gray hair in her mane. It shouldn't bother her, not really; after all, it was bound to happen at some point or another. But when she begins to see the signs of aging appearing on most of her friends, she is forced to confront a harsh truth about life, and what that means for the future.

Two ponies have tea at a cafe.

They talk about everything but the thing that matters.

Maud Pie embarks on a journey. It does not matter for how long.

A quick story to try and get me back into the habit of writing. Written in the style of Cormac McCarthy, which is why there may appear to be strange grammatical choices. Fragments. Run-on sentences. All for a certain theme found between the text.

Featured in Reviewers Cafe; thank you, Rainstream!

The milliner on March Street leads a simple life, tending to her shop and taking care of her goods. Her only company is her hats and the dusty shelves they inhabit. She has not had an exciting moment in a long while, and so expects nothing exciting to happen.

For the most part, she's right; until one day she isn't.

This story is a sequel to A Prose By Any Other Name

One week after his return, Opacare Prose must delve into the streets of Manehattan to stop the corruption that has been brewing within its steel skyscrapers. It seems like an easy job; stop Mayor Grifford Finch, reveal his corrupted ways, and help Manehattan return to its former glory.

But all is not as it seems. Behind Prose's one-stallion war against his former friend, is a shadow of an organization bent on one thing, and one thing only: the complete annihilation of the author and the mayor. As the two ex-friends exchange words and blows, culminating in an explosive confrontation, that organization from behind the scenes makes it move gradually, determined to take Manehattan over without either noticing.

If Opacare Prose has any hope of saving his city, then he must accept the assistance of the mares from Ponyville, as well as forge unlikely alliances with any pony willing to side with him. His goal of stopping Grifford Finch will eventually overlap to other goals, ones that, he will discover, are far more important.

He can't save everything, though... as his war continues, casualties will rise, and somepony important to him could be forever lost...

Something dark and horrifying is found wandering the outskirts of Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack goes to investigate, but what will the discovery reveal?

This story is a sequel to Oh The Choices

This time, Twilight sits in a room. Well, kind of a room. Sort of a room. A room that can be morphed into various other rooms at one's own leisure. And who else is there but Discord, here to teach Twilight another lesson, this time concerning the concept of Chaos itself?

With the Spirit of Disharmony as her teacher, she can at least guarantee that things will get interesting.

While this is the sequel to Oh The Choices, reading that story is not necessary to understand this one. Though, I do encourage you all to give it a read.

A man needs sleep.

A pegasus helps him get it.

This story is complete! Sequel is posted!

Opacare Prose had it all. He was an accomplished writer, noted storyteller, and acclaimed novelist. He had fame and fortune at his beck and call, and it seemed that no other stallion was so well off.

So when he mysteriously vanishes off the face of Equestria with no warning, it comes as a shock for the nation. His disappearance sparks an uproar of panic and confusion. Ponies and cities alike are put on the watch, looking for him endlessly...

As this is going on, an enigmatic, new pony suddenly arrives in Ponyville. His clothing and belongings look like they've been in several fights, and he looks ready to pass out. However, when ponies question where he came from, he refuses to answer. It seems he has a secret, a dark one, eliciting suspicion against him. He secludes himself at the edge of town, seemingly hiding away from civilization...

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are intrigued, and set off to somehow break through that stallion's cold exterior. Yet, they will inadvertently embark on their own, grand tale, filled with mystery, intrigue, and a troubled past. Will they manage to make it through and understand just who this mysterious stallion is; and what he is hiding?

Twilight is in a room. There is a golden hammer and a cup of water. She must choose between the two.

By the end of this test, an unlikely lesson will be learned.
