The Pinkie Parable



This is a story about a pony named Pinkie Pie.


Due to the recent recession in Equestria’s economy (You can thank Luna for that.), Pinkie found herself strapped for cash in recent months. So she decided it was time to find a better paying job. The Cakes were nice but were ultimately paying her less than she deserved.

She got a job at a company in an office on the fifteenth floor of a very large building all the way in Manehatten. It was quite the commute everyday, but Pinkie was glad to take it. There were so many employees at the office that management simply couldn’t find the time to refer to any of them by name. So each employee was given a number. Pinkie’s number was 865.

She spent everyday inside of room number 865 reading letters that appeared on a screen. Not the sort of letters that your great aunt Susan might send you, but the alphabetic sort. Periodically, the screen would beep and a letter would appear before her.

Day after day, she kept track of each and every letter. She was expected to either write down or memorize each of these letters until the end of her work day when she was to then try and discern some sort of pattern or meaning in them. On average, she sifted through about two thousand letters in a day. Most ponies would find this task to be extremely daunting and soul-draining, but not Pinkie, not employee number 865. She was happy. She loved reading. She loved following instructions-

“Hey, this is actually really boring!” Pinkie screamed. But after a moment’s more thought, she realized that she really did love this job. She had no idea what came over her.


 Anyway, where was I? Right.



Then one day something very peculiar happened...


Not a single letter was sent to her screen. This had never happened before. Pinkie took some time to recall her day thus far. It didn’t occur to her until now, but she actually hadn’t seen a single fellow employee on her way to her desk. Normally she’d give a friendly greeting to everypony on her way in. This morning, however, she either ignored them, or they weren’t there at all. She simply couldn't remember. She waited a few more moments before deciding to step outside of her office and have a look around.

Peering into the windows of her fellow employee’s offices, she finds not a soul in sight. She uneagerly continued down the hall towards the employee lounge, where she liked to spend a lot of time conversing with her co-workers.


Coming across a set of two doors, she took the one on her left.
