"Silver, no! You can't die!" Diamond's tears fell from her face and down into the bottomless chasm, her hooves pale as she tightly clamped her friend's front leg. "Discord already took my dad from me. He can't take you too!"

"What do you care?" Silver asked, unable to look Diamond in the eye. "We were never friends to begin with."

"You don't mean that!" Diamond said, feeling her grip starting to give. "You're still under Discord's spell. You have to snap out of it!"

Silver blinked and slowly lifted her eyes to meet her friend's, her irises turning purple again as she stared into them. Tears formed in her eyes as she opened her mouth to say something, but the words never reached Diamond's ears. Silver's leg slipped out of Diamond's grip as she plunged into the ravine, disappearing into the blackness along with her final words. Diamond could only lie there on the cliff, staring into an unequaled emptiness as a sadistic laugh drowned out Silver Spoon's eternal silencing.

Do you find stories to be too optimistic most of the time? Are you tired of unrealistic happy endings where everything works out? Is the notion of Diamond Tiara experiencing anything but pain and misery as payment for her misdeeds not worth your time? Then perhaps this is the folder you've been searching for all along. With any luck the stories below are at least half as sad and tragic as the pun we used to name the folder.
