Richard ‘Bob’ Yortz, was halfway through highschool before he ended up in Equestria. Left with no other options, he spends a year as an elusive creature, stealing food and hurting ponies in order to survive. After catching the eye of Princess Celestia, he is shipped off to Ponyville with the chance to ‘redeem’ himself.

If you ever met Sunstone when he was but a young colt, you would’ve seen a large grin, two purple eyes full of determination, and an earth pony who could take on the world.

But something happened over the years. As Sunstone grew older, more and more did his cheerful smile morph into an ugly scowl. His enthusiastic attitude gradually capsized, leaving in its stead a disgruntled husk of his former self.

Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle: Two gifted unicorns that would quickly undermine everything Sunstone has been hoping to achieve, unintentionally turning him into the underdog he never wished to be. Resentment overtaking his better judgement, feeling doomed to be living forever in the shadow of his immensely successful brother and sister, Sunstone has had a lifetime of feeling thoroughly unremarkable.

Unable to bear his inability to stand out amongst his younger siblings, Sunstone vowed to never see his family again. It’s been five years since he departed on a journey to finally understand his true place in Equestria.

Not once has he looked back at the life he left behind.

“Please look after my children.”

Pear Butter’s last words were spoken to the stranger who found their crash: the cruel, otherworldly siren named Adagio Dazzle, who sees in her death a golden opportunity.

What starts as a plan to raise willing minions for sustenance and protection goes… a little differently than Adagio had in mind.

My name is Comet Tail, and I have died many times.

My entry in the Ponyville Ciderfest 2023 anthology book, Scattered Pages: Tales from the Book of All Stories.

When an all-powerful book of destiny, The Book of All Stories, was opened, the worlds of Ponies and Humans converged at the Ponyville Ciderfest convention center. The book's pages scattered themselves across time, space, and infinite dimensions. Whoever attains a page of the book can rewrite history and reality at will. (For more detail, read the prologue story here: https://ponyvilleciderfest.com/opening-from-scattered-pages/ ) A nightmare entity gained access to a page and used it to escape from the dream world. An unlikely team consisting of A.K. Yearling, Doctor Caballeron, Discord, and Ciderfest Mascot Fizzy Glitch, must pursue the monster into cyberspace. What they find there, as well as the catastrophe they must prevent, is far beyond anything they could have imagined.
