At some point, you just stop being surprised by all the horrible things that happen out in the Wasteland. You get to a point where you just kind of...accept it as part of the everyday life, heck you might even try to rationalize it. But that doesn't change the fact that the Wasteland is just a really messed up place; the Stables are just as messed up if not more so...
Orchid, or as she's better know as the unicorn mercenary Tri-Gun Orchid, and her companion Sirius take shelter in a cave to avoid their pursuers. Rather than go out into the raging blizzard (or risk another firefight), they reluctantly elected to venture deeper into the cave in order to see where it went. What they found, was a numberless Stable...
With the audio diaries from Orchid's PipBuck, one could just...barely piece together what went down during and before Orchid and Sirius made their appearance.

I have to say: that was intense.
I may not know the backstory of Tri-Gun or what exactly happened to this stable, but that isn't necessary at all.
The story (the ghostly shadows) feel a bit like the ones in Metro Last Light, just more intense and with a actual meaning.
There's only ine question:
those italic paragraphs...ar those the audio files?
This story was just great to read.
I'll give you a like.

Glad you enjoyed it.
And yeah, those were supposed to be audio files.
This story made me cry but I have one question is Sirius deadened orchid is just insane or what and what were the things with red eyes
Dead and not deadened sorry

That's pretty much exactly what I was going for.
Unfortunately, I can't answer those questions.
For two reasons:
1. Spoilers and stuff
2. I kind of wrote the story in this vague way on purpose. I want people to kind of come to their own conclusions about whether everything in the story was totally real or just in her head. I mean, I KNOW what actually happened, but I'm not going to confirm or deny it.
Very nice twist with Sirius having been dead for some time. You salted enough clues that it was possible to work it out - I did, at the point when she remarks that he's cold. As for the rest, I couldn't quite tell what the ponies or creatures were meant to represent, but it was a good stab at a classical-style psychological horror.
