This story was written over the course of two hours for the Everfree Northwest Iron Author, where it placed third. The prompt for the contest was Smile, Gubernatorial, and Weasel. There were many awesome entries, many already posted here on Fimfiction.

This story is presented without my usual editing pass to preserve it in the format it appeared for the contest. I did manually fix the italics headers, which were not correct in the contest entry. While writing the story, I had all of two minutes to get it edited and submitted to the website, which was not enough to fix all that formatting stuff.

The ending wasn't quite what I wanted, I ran out of time before reaching the payoff I imagined emotionally, and I had to settle for something that wasn't quite as strong. Even so, I feel like it's wrong to revise. This is the story I entered, and I believe it stands as is.

Rainbow finds a leaf floating far out over the ocean.

This will be a collection of sad stories I write, not really connected to each other. Sometimes I just feel like writing something sad.
I'll post them as I finish them, without any real editing. So there will probably be a few mistakes.
Thanks.
I'll add tags and correct things as I do more.
Special thanks to River Shy and Olden Bronie

A suicide right by the school of friendship.
Why would someone do that when there was help so close?
Twilight can't let this go as just a tragic incident. There has to be a reason.
*UPDATED*
I just added some detail and fixed a couple small problems. The story itself is unchanged.

It's been years since Gilda lost her best friend. She's sat at the edge of the Abysmal Abyss almost every day since then, just trying to finally let go.

Twilight Sparkle just wanted to forget...

Yet all she did was remember.

Written for the F*** THIS PROMPT #13 contest.

EDIT: Winner of the "Honourable Mention" title! Lol wut.
