//------------------------------// // Author's Note // Story: Values // by Lynked //------------------------------// [To the Readers] Not my most insightful read, nor my best, but it's good I'd say. This was, in fact, a challenge fic. The requirements were to: 1 - Use one of the Mane Six 2 - Make people cry, or at least shed a tear. 3 - Make the descriptions so powerful that they seem real. 4 - No direct pony interaction. 5 - Under 10,000 words. Bonus - Do it in under 24 hours. Easy. I did it in four hours. [The editing is taking too long. I'm going nuts] The only problem is #2. I don't know if I've accomplished that. But...as I'm sure my challenger is most likely inebriated while he reads this, he's probably in a fit of alcohol-induced depression anyway. [To my Drunk-Ass Friend] Next time, before you do something stupid, try to sober up a bit first. P.S. You owe me some cheesecake. Chocolate Marble, please. [Edit] The cheesecake's good, guys.
