Equestria has been a desert wasteland for longer than anyone can remember. The only city that remains untouched by the sands of destruction is Canterlot, where the Royal Princesses reside in safety. However, the harsh climate of the Equestrian Desert isn't the only thing on their minds. A notorious desert gang known as the Wasteland Bandits prowl the sandy seas, preying on the innocent and the weak. When three Canterlot agents enter the Oasis Inn in search of answers, they'll get more than they bargained for…

"An interesting world with some cool ideas in play. An example of humanisation done well."
--Pearple Prose
"This story, man. I like it. Another great fanfiction by Tunalock."
--Advisor The Accursed One
"This is definitely one of the more origial humanized pony stories I have seen floating around the site. I am happy to have had the chance to read, as I feel really pulled in by the story's tense atmosphere, and intriguing characters."
--Berry Punch
"I like this story. It has a manner of complexity and originality that I haven't seen in many authors on this site. It pulls you in and keeps you engaged, as well as misleading you for a minute. I can't wait for more."
--fanofawesomeness
"Something tells me that this train of a joy ride through the Wild, Wild West is anything but a straightaway."
--Hivemind
I personally would love to see more

I second this.
I honestly don't read humanized pony fics, and the only reason I read this one is because it didn't announce that in the description.
But this story is so badass I WILL read a sequel! 
MAKE A SEQUEL! It's the best thing you can do at this point. 
Was recommended to me by Berry Punch. Glad of it too. This was a great one shot. Defiantly write more.
Also this felt more like the opening chapter of a much larger story then a one-shot thought.
This review was brought to you by Authors Helping Authors.
Grammar score: 10, I could see nothing wrong.
Pros: Interesting presentation. It offers a different view on the H.I.E genre. It is very well structured.
Cons: A little fast paced. Kinda short. Not enough detail for the environment.
Notes: Honestly the cons are just nitpicks that I had which you can ignore if you want to. Overall I think this is a fantastic story and you should be proud. Just to let you know I view structure as how the plot is presented, and is one of the harder things to get right, but something you seem to get.
When you have time, please review my story The Color of Greed. Thank you, and may Harmony be with you always.

i would like to read more and would like a bit more background of what happend.
A good one-shot is self inclusive and includes the majority of the plot points necessary to complete the narrative.
This is an awful one-shot. Spectacular teaser, however. MOAR!
So thanks for that.
3803947 I actually am writing more, but right now, I have to focus on my ever-popular story The Spacewalkers.
this needs to be a real story! the one-shot is amazing, so think about how amazing a whole story would be!
I want to hear more about how the world got so messed up. This is an awesome concept, but it left me with a few too many questions to fully enjoy it...
So I guess I'm joining the masses and begging for another story.
3941106 So, as I've stated above, I'm writing more. However, it's not about how Equestria turned into a day at the beach (minus water), but origin stories to the Mane 6 and other characters that would be in a main story I plan on releasing.
