The village of Trotford is like the other small towns in Equestria. Quiet, unassuming, very nice. The stallions, however, are flighty, and the mares are upset they can't find a decent husband.

The stallions are satisfied with things, being free and clear to just have their own fun when they like. Nothing seems likely to change, and yet, things start to. More marriage, with the husbands so very happy and satisfied with their new lot in life. Some investigation is quite necessary...

Celestia has a hobby. A very expensive and resource-consuming hobby. A very expensive and resource-consuming hobby that Luna feels is going a bit too far. Stained glass windows are nice and all, but Celestia is really beginning to overdo it.

Cerberus has one job, and that job is to guard the Gates of Tartarus so that no evil creatures can escape. He's had this job for a long time, and not once did he defy his duty. Sure, he left his post that one time, but he never intentionally set someone free. Not that he ever wanted to.

But what if somepony was cast into Tartarus through no fault of their own? And what if that somepony is a pony that Cerberus really cares about? Is there a protocol for this scenario? Alas, no. It's never happened before. So, the big question remains:

What now?

Dramatic Reading by CrazedRambling

Korean Translation

"Sleep is like the drug of our generation--we claim we don't need it, but we always find ourselves entangled in it's hopeless temptation."

When seven ponies wake up in a large mansion, unknowing of their situations and the others themselves, they find that they are involuntarily thrown into a game of endurance, and survival. The rules are simple: Do not fall asleep.

The last one awake gets to walk away, free.

The other six will never wake up.

Just how "overrated" is sleep, anyways?

Everypony has secrets. Dinky will soon reach the age of curiosity, and there is one question her mother can never answer honestly: Who is her father?

Ditzy can never tell her the truth. Not to deliberately withhold the information and leave her in the dark, but simply to protect her from the horrors of the past.
