Author's Note:

Ascending

Descending

Tug and push

Gravity

Deflating

The walls are the floor are the ceiling are the walls

You know why you're here, Twilight Sparkle

Don't listen

You know what brought you to this broken place

Don't listen to her

Just

Move

Ascending

Hoofsteps

Without echoes

Without

Without

Think about it, Twilight Sparkle

Nature doesn't have tests

Nature has nothing to prove

Nature just is

Don't listen

Don't listen

Just

Trotting

Step by step

Up through the buzz

The lights

A flicker

Nothing about this is natural

Nothing about this is right

The geometry

The decay

It's trying to implode upon itself

It yearns for collapse

The six walls shrink

Hungry

Devouring

But

You

You

You have to keep moving

You're the only thing keeping it from dissolving into infinitesimal nothingness

Hoofsteps

Ascending

Descending

Past the buzz

It floats

It

A rock in the stomach

A pit

A center of gravity

Upon which all things spin

All things here

That shouldn't be here

That shouldn't be anywhere

Think, Twilight

Think about it, Twilight Sparkle

Think about your friends

Think about how wrong this place is

Think about how they're missing you

Think about how wrong you are

The sixth wall recedes

It will lead you out

It will lead you to them

You are here because of a test

A test that you are failing

Just keep moving

Hoofsteps

In

The buzz

And tests don't exist in nature

Buzzing

Because nothing in nature is bound to fail

Buzzing

Stepping

Hooves

Like you are

Don't

Broken

Don't listen

Broken

Keep moving

Broken

Just keep moving

Broken

The light flickers

Wait a sec

[alamais]

Not sure if I like this voice or not...

[TheDriderPony]

Pretty sure this whole story, even in a meta context, is probably an SCP.

the buzz remains
