(A comic adaptation exists for this story! Check it out here!)
On foggy Manehattan nights, when when the clinging humidity can be seen clearly by the beams of streetlights, The Bluesmare's song rises from everywhere, drawing the soul inexorably to it.
One dirty white horse, on a errand of penance and mercy, gleams past the street-trotters at the witching hour. Following the blighted dirt of her shortened path, she commits herself to one final act of redemption, for good or for ill.
This is her brief story.
(The song, Goodnight, Somepony featured in this tale is an homage to the song Goodnight, My Someone from the Broadway production "The Music Man", originally written and composed by Robert Meredith Willson in 1957. The lyrics of the song in this story are intentionally different from the song upon which it is based.)
This is a fantastic story that is well written. A great sad story

Confound these feels, they drive me to drink!

Aww, thanks
I sorta wish this one got around a little more. I sorta had a mood going when I was writing it.
In jazz, the best pieces are the ones that evoke emotion without reason. When the sax ignores the tune you thought was imminent, and skips across the pond instead. All I can say is that you have put words to the notes never played. A masterfull work of, and on the heart. The Bluesmare would be proud.

This was a pleasure to write, as much as the comic scripts have been to produce. Tough at times though, bittersweet and all that.
Very impressive work! May I translate this into Chinese and share it with more bronies? I'll credit you
I will also give you the link after I post that :p

I mean I guess. Of course with appropriate accreditation to the original work. There's a comic adaptation too if you're interested in checking it out.
