So... You see like three years ago I had this idea for a story. I thought this idea was really obvious and I wasn't really feeling it so I decided to just sit back and let someone else write it.
Then about a week ago I browsed around looking for this story.
It was a road like any other. It stretched between two settlements in the periphery of Equestria. Specifically it connected a minor hamlet that capitalized on an exotic fishery and the village where the nearest market was. Here it was the middle of such a road. Roughly equal distance between the two locations were few ponies traveled and fewer still met.
Aaaaah!
I almost started watching that at work. Glad I realized what it was in time.
