Here’s a comment for the algorithm. Nice piece of work…

I really like this. Short, but it punches your feelings in just the right way.

Here’s an upvote and best of luck in the judging.

A very interesting take, this was a good read!

Fluttershy learns the cycle of life from a noble feline.

The saddest part of taking care of animals is that you'll realize your going to outlive them.

Cute, and meaningful. And of course, sad.
Good luck in the competition; I can see you're probably going to do very well.

I feel so bad for fluttershy and the feline.

I have recorded reading this for an audiobook to come soon :fluttercry:

Which is a lesson that Celestia and Luna learned a long time ago.

Discord knew it from the beginning.

My SO died 19 years ago from cancer. She made me promise not to follow her. To be patient and wait. Each hour is an eternity, each day a burden. But I gave my word, and I wait. Now my neurologist tells me my wait won't be for much longer. And while I'm scared, I understand what Bonnie understands.

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

She had named her that because the fur on the top of her head had looked like a little bonnet. The key word being "had", of course, because Bonnie no longer had any hair on the top of her head to speak of.

ooh, an interesting description for this unnamed creature, and possible implications of the “had”

You wouldn't understand. Not now. You will understand when you are older. I'm glad you looked out for me, but it's my time to go.

Bonnie made her way past Fluttershy with no issue and dipped into the Everfree Forest.

The filly turned and simply stared after her, her mind too busy processing what the creature had said.

When the disappearance finally hit her, she sat in the dirt and cried.

ooh, interesting look at how Fluttershy’s ability to talk to animals works

Angel chittered, placing a paw on her hoof.

Fluttershy must be really despondent if even Angel of all creatures is honestly trying to comfort her

"She wanted to die. As a feline, this is just basic instinct for her. Her injuries were...bad." She struggled to find one word to sum them all up. "And I could tell she was suffering. Maybe even before she got injured."

oof! what a thing for Fluttershy, the lover of animals, to face. she really did do her best!

Fluttershy deals with death far more often than most consider. This lesson would come one way or another. This is a fine portrayal of it. Thank you for it.
