The world as we know it will end in six hours.
There is no more hope. There is no more doubt. There is no more time.
Every pony knows this day was coming. Some chose to spend their last few hours drinking away their sorrows, some chose to get around to the things they never finished, and some chose to go out on their own terms. The rest chose to spend their final moments in the company of those they cherished most.
How would you spend your final hours?
Now with a YouTube reading!

The final hour, by audiomachine
6594999 kind of, but more like this:
Majora's Mask - Final Hours Rock Remix
If I could cry, my tear ducts would have shriveled and fallen out halfway through the RD chapter. It was just so frickin beautiful
6596118 thanks...but I bet this place will turn into a flame war of feels when the forth hour passes
6596224 (challenge accepted face) Okay. (Proceeds to execute safety protocol #970)
Don't mean to rush but where is the next chapter?
6641163 almost done. Sorry I've just had little time to write lately with getting ready for convention this weekend and projects due for college.
Interesting. I've had this on my RiL list for a few weeks. Will be following to see where you go.
6644094 Thanks
I've always maintained a little headcanon that the clock tower in either Ponyville or Canterlot sounds just like the one in Clock Town.
And this story is probably the closest you can get to being shot in the heart without actually taking a bullet.
Thanks for puting a link to the reading ^_^
6661779 no problem
damn...
I just don't have words for this... It makes me realize how much of a dick I was in majora at the end. I never even thought about my actions on the third day, ever... I... this just crushes me knowing the inevitability of the situation.
I... I have a lot to think about. like, fave and tracking for now. Keep going on this.
6685985 I will.
And that is the kind of reaction I was going for with this story.
6686032 Then you have hit the proverbial nail on the head. The choices each character made just... I don't know, they made me think about things I normally wouldn't have, things I've done or said, how much of an ass I am to my friends and family, just all the things we as humans enjoy dusting under the rug. This is a powerful one, and one I will enjoy delving deeper into as it progresses. It feels, i don't know... soothing? In a way, it helps me to wrestle with my demons not knowing when I'll be forced to stop by seeing them wrestle with theirs knowing full when they have to stop.
6686263 well that's good then. I mean I truly never expected the cause some one to go into an existential train of thought, but if my story is doing that I must be doing something right.
6686289 It's not just the story, it's the nostalgia of the base material, and a more mature outlook from when I first played the game. This is essentially the last 6 hours of Majora's Mask, a game I played so much as a kid I broke the cartridge, and as I was reading I started to remember how badly I treated every character, I never took the time to complete the romani's ranch minigame ever, I never reunited the lovers, I never did any of it. I just broke pots, killed junk, and beat the game with the BEAR MINIMUM of masks. Or, I just stood there, and waited until the end to see everyone die. That line of thinking got me on another, "what if I was stuck in Termina during these 3 days? What would I be doing? How would I feel if this kid who had the ability to save me didn't?" That then got me onto thinking about my life and how I've treated my family over the years. Whether or not, if I only had 6 hours to live, would they want me there with them, or would they rather not see me in there final moments. Now, my family has a tendency to exhibit depression-like symptoms, and I've inherited this trait. So most of it could be that. But this story is a beautiful work of art so far, and I'm honestly happy it helped me to see how I could improve in my life. So, thank you for this story.
6686343 No problem, I enjoyed making this story and if I can awaken so deep seeded nostalgic existentialism I know I did good.
Goddamn that 2as hard to read, especially as a parent myself. As horrible as it was, the Cakes made the right decision.
6687181 it wasn't easy to write either, and yeah while it was horrible to do, they made the right decision in my eyes...but with Pinkie paying the bigger price.
This has topped chapter one as the chapter i cried the most in and that's a good thing as it just goes to show the power of well crafted writing great job!!
I just feel as if there'll be a huge twist ending and the cakes died for nothing.
6693513 I can't say for sure...but think about it this way...right now pretty much 99% of equestria...is dead
6693556 Stupid twist ending, killing a lot of ponies for no good reason.
I waited.. And Count....you weren't lying, were ya...
T_T
6945552 wouldn't say lying, would more say buried under about 3 metric tons of college work that has forced me to quit another job and put me way behind on the stuff I would like to do
6945784 sometimes I wish I could cry
6955385 hmm?
Do you ever intend to finish this?
