The simplicity of this is just beautiful, and contributes so much to the atmosphere of the story...

I applaud you. :heart:

Subtle in the world it is painting, and that makes the madness all the more potent when you realize just what all has happened.

Beautiful story, but just one thing. You should probably add the Sad tag. :pinkiesmile:

Thanks! Even my admittedly lackluster stuff seems to have some shine.

Thank you! Madness seems to be a specialty subject across anything I've written, no matter the account it's on, haha.

I was going mostly for a creepy mood and the darker effect on the mind of Celestia, which is more Dark tag than Sad.

8350721
Well, you could have Sad and Dark. :unsuresweetie: And maybe slap a Slice of Life Tag onto it all. :applejackunsure:

SoL wouldn't work for this one. While this is a sad story, the dark tag works very well on its own, especially considering how simple this piece is.

8350758
Why wouldn't slice of life work? The first chapter literally is called 'Everyday Occurrence.'

8350903
Because that's meant to be misleading.

8350917
Well, I don't see how it is, but okay. :applejackunsure:

And to make sure my parsing is right, Celestia went Nightmare-mode, caused Eternal Day thus killing everything but herself, and Luna was either killed by her sister or is now imprisoned in the moon, and with nothing else to torment the Nightmare amuses itself toying with its host.

Would that be correct?

Actually just Luna's banishment, but that's actually a really neato interpretation. :)

Oh! The reason I thought it was mine was all the repeated bits about the sun - especially "The sun would always shine.", which seems to be implying Eternal Day but obviously isn't. Thanks for the reply!

That line was actually a way to say that normalcy would always reign/there would be another day and such, and you are quite welcome for the reply. If you like stories about Celestia that have these kinds of riddles in the text and a similar enough tone and style, I'd suggest checking out a far better work of mine: Autophobia. It might be right up your alley.

Brief, poetic, and poignant. Sometimes minimalist stories are the best best.

Wow, thanks for the surprise read!

And if you love minimalist stories, then boy, Autophobia might be the beast for you!

I just didn’t expect people to read it so quickly after the transfer, yo.

Creepy start and sad conclusion. Nicely done. Despite the short two chapters. Having both split was a smart choice.

The short description interested me

Then the long description was the same as the short description. That made me decide not to read it after all.

I’ve never heard of someone not reading a story because of that.

To be fair part of the problem is that your description is so deliberately vague.

If I'm going to check something out I need to know what it bloody IS.

If it’s just that, then the description is meant to be vague on purpose. Plus, it’s only a 1k story.
