You're a clever unicorn, Twilight


A string

A yellow string


Why didn't you think of this before?


You lead it through the empty corridor

Over carpet and tile and mildew stains

The fluorescent lights catch the fibrous track

A golden glow


It is so very simple


The string goes around a wall

And takes a left

You turn left with it


The string will show where you've been

And where you haven't been

That's why you've left it

That's why you've been leaving it


Your pace quickens

The string drapes in a straight line up ahead

Until it doesn't

It goes around a wall

It takes a left

You turn left with it


Such a clever unicorn, Twilight


You would have to be

To fashion a string out of nothing

Was it the carpet?

Did you unravel it?

If so, from where?



You blink

You follow the string

But slowly, now

There's a wall up ahead

The string takes a left

So

You follow it


You

You made the string

You left the string here


Or did the string leave you here?



It leads straight ahead

Until

It doesn't

There is a wall up ahead



Such a clever pony, Twilight Sparkle



It turns left


So


You turn left

And

There's a string

It goes straight

Until it doesn't

There's a wall up ahead

It turns left


So


So


So


So



You
