As one man begins the process to become a pony, he ends up asking one very important question, one that will be answered in many ways. And the answers he finds will startle both himself and many others.

THIS WAS WRITTEN MAY, 2011. I just wanted to post it here. This is pretty much an average TCB story with humanity dropping everything to run to the ponies as saviors. I hadn't asked the 'why' of that yet, though I think I may have touched on it here. Here, instead, is a question about what the process (as explained to me in various stories I read) does to us. To the essence of humanity. It is also a bit misanthropic but at the time I thought that was the way to go with it. I've changed my mind since then. I also used a clip from another author's story, the 'dream' sequence during the transformation, and I may not have credited him. I THINK it was Midnight's story but I could be wrong. I'm sorry to the author for not crediting him, I wish I had saved where I got it from. If anyone knows, please PM me so I can give proper credit where it is due. Here's the clip from The Conversion Bureau compilation post on EqD.

As the Conversion Centers converts more and more humans into ponies, one question is answered in a multitude of ways. Why can be a very complex question.
