Author's Note:

There's a chair here

You have stopped

There's a chair here

Why is there a chair here?

It's an empty room

With the lights

And the buzz

And

A chair

And you remember

Ten rooms ago

Or was it ten hundred rooms ago?

There were two chairs

Facing a wall

Facing each other

Facing nothing

Just like this one

It faces the wall

And the corner

But neither

It breaks up the symmetry

It is empty

As this room is empty

But why is it here?

Why were the other ones there?

Who is it for?

You're the only pony here

You're the only pony anywhere

The rest of the chamber is empty

Full of nothing

But fluorescent lights

And buzzing

Pointless

Purposeless

Forgotten

Crooked

Broken

It had to have been placed here

Or dropped here

Like you

Twilight Sparkle

Twilight

Who would miss a chair?

Twilight, you have to keep moving

Who would miss you?

Turn around and pick a direction

Any direction

But what if you find more empty chairs?

Just go

Move

What if you chose to sit in one?

Move, Twilight

You turn

You trot down the corridor

If you waited long enough

Would someone come sit beside you?

Move

Or would it take you somewhere deeper

Further

Someplace more broken than here

Than you?

Move

Move

Move

You trot faster

... This wasn't here before. This just got a lot more interesting. Though I may yet hold by my comment regarding eldritch cities.

[TheAncientPolitzanian]

This chapter's different now!
