I lived in these woods for 80 years, and they have come to get me once again. I saw a bright light flash in the woods, I quickly grabbed my rifle, and prepared to kill them again.

Herman always believed that ponies were an exceedingly friendly bunch, and he figured it was in their nature to be open and kind to all strangers—even to those of different races. But what if he was wrong? What if there was another explanation?

He mentions this fact in his memoirs, but shortly after he sends them to be published he is informed that the Royal Guard wants him for questioning in Canterlot.

I used to be so so Joyful, once upon a time. Then the sky started falling, and the people started dying, and I wept. I wept as all I knew had died around me, and I was left alone. I wandered for a time, before finding sanctuary. An abyss. An endless black abyss. I let myself fall into the darkness, let myself be swallowed by it.

When I finally emerged from that darkness, I found myself in a new world...full of life...and I tried so very hard to fit in. I tried to ignore the hurtful words, the screams at my approach. I tried to ignore the attacks flung at me, the fire, the stones. I tried to use reason...but they saw a monster, and only a monster. At first I saw no positives, until I examined further. The species, once divided, united at my approach. My purpose in this world was made clear...I was not to find comfort, I was merely a tool. A rallying cry, 'protect your children, for the monster of rust has come!'.

I am Evil, and that is okay.

The largest tragedy of the time of Conversion Bureaus wasn’t the loss of humanity, it was the loss of earth…

The captain of a space station documents about the final years of earth, as it’s slowly absorbed by the ever expanding dome, slowly but surely removing it from reality…

My first oneshot. Not the best piece of work, but hopefully good enough…

While the two were in the middle of a reading session, Eric Reed decided to have fun with Princess Twilight and her perfectionist urges by slightly sliding her teacup from her preferred spot on her table any time she wasn't looking. She kept reacting in the way you might expect.

However, if Eric kept tempting fate by testing an alicorn's obliviousness, he could end up in a sticky situation.

This story is one of a still-growing series of stories that all take place after A Giant Adventure to Equestria. However, it is not necessary to read any of them to understand this story, but "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" does show the details of how and why the human OC Eric Reed is in Equestria even if the story isn't that great by my standards and improved writing abilities now.

If you enjoy this story and would be interested to check any of the other stories with Eric, you can find the list of all current ones here.

Twilight's been wanting to platonically kiss all of her friends for a while. So, this Hearth's Warming Eve, she's decided to strike using her deadliest weapon; mistletoe

This is based off of an image I saw (the cover)
I thought it was a cool idea :)
This story doesn't have Spike, Sunset, or Sunburst though.

When I agreed to be sent to Equestria I didn't read the fine print. I'm the wrong age, the wrong sex, and lost in the wilderness.

As I sit on this branch, looking at the town through the mangled, black branches, I began thinking about why I came here. About everything I left behind on Earth.

I wish I'd never have come here...

Consider joining the Ending-verse if you liked it!

This story has been redone. Also, A brilliant lad called Vlad decided to write a sequel. I seriously recommend reading that and following him.

Also, there's a prequel in the works!

This story is a sequel to I Am Not Sombra

My mind is just so infested, to the point where I don't know who I am. The anger I have over the ponies who harmed me and took me away from what I lost still holds in my heart, and it drives me to agony. At least I can claim to be the ruler of a nation...
