//------------------------------// // 75 // Story: Applejack Falls Down the Stairs - CYOA // by Good Christian Ethesto //------------------------------// Applejack makes it almost all the way home, but she's just so tired... She doesn't see any reason to continue onward, both on this trail and in life... What difference does any of it make whether she speaks with Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Appleblum, Scootaloo, or Big Macueltosh? None of it matters. None of these choices are important. Applejack sighs and takes off her hat letting the wind pick it up and fly it off and away, over the trees. "So long, pardner..." Applejack says farewell to her oldest and only real friend as it flies off to new pastures. "May you find a worthy wearer. One who will actually accomplish something..." She looks up into the sun on last time, letting its warm glow melt away the protective film across her iris, before laying down on the ground. She consciously stopped breathing, having carefully maintained her breathing her entire life since she was born without the natural ability for her brain to breath subconsciously. Within moments her vision began to blur as she slowly died from air loss. In her last moments, a round, brown shape floated into view. It flittered just at the edge of her sight for a few moments as she faded out before softly landing on her face, concealing her eyes and she let out a single tear as her sole companion rejoined her, ready to depart with her into the oblivion. BAD END: Applejack died of sadness and air loss! Try making choices that won't make her so sad :/ Better try again!
