Ghost Pepper dreams of many things. Dreams of being a noble in Manehatten's bureaucratic table. Or a royal knight, tasked with defending the throne and the princess. Or perhaps finding the one pony he can call a friend. He dreams big. Yet when he awakens, he finds himself struggling with the everyday menial hum drum tasks of cleaning the orphanage's halls, rooms and only getting scraps of the food from the other colts and fillies.
Ghost Pepper dreams big. But a wakening nightmare haunts him. One that he can't help but finding himself in over and over. If he is to overcome this nightmare, he not only requires the help of three curious fillies, but a royal alicorn who walks the Dream Plane.

That's Little Tigress for you. And my story cover art got featured in Equestria Daily? That's pretty neat.
What’s the slice of life tag for?

Because out of dreams, orphans are just trying to get adopted. I originally wanted to do simple stuff, but I uhh... found that actually gave me major writer's block. I actually intended to inspire this off of a movie called The Devil's Backbone, but in a way that isn't what that movie is about and more of the idea concept that orphans are trying to live their best with a struggling adult caretaker against harsh realities. But my world building self, wanted to delve a bit into the dream worlds since I do lucid dream from time to time. That, and it's an excuse to write in some of my favorite characters from the show. I might end up editing the tags again though.
This is very beautifully written, thank you for completing this.
