I would consider myself the average guy. I don't try to stand out, I'm not particularly good at any one thing, and I don't really have many goals and aspirations that are out of my reach. In all honesty, I live a very comfortable life.

I play video games, read, and enjoy the presence of other people from time to time. Most of my time is spent at work and the money is usually eaten by bills and our favorite “Uncle”. But there's nothing to complain about.

But on one particular day, everything seemed to turn itself upside down. You see, there was talks of a new disease coming through that didn't happen naturally. Or at least, that's what was speculated. I for one am a firm believer that the earth was trying to preform a hard reset.

I digress. The disease quickly became known as the Mutaginic disease. The details are a bit blurry, but the long run of it is that it changes your physical structure to that of animals or abominations. Sometimes you get power, sometimes you're stuck with wings that don't work. It all just depends.

But in order to save some of humanity, thousands of people were chosen to be out under to try and out sleep this new disease. They made a bunch of us sign papers and waivers to try and be the last of humanity and all that.

When I was approached, I couldn't believe it. But I gladly accepted despite the fact that I wouldn't see my friends and family anymore. And when the day came where everything came to a head, we were put to sleep and made to wait.

So.... Why is it that when I wake up, everyone is gone and there is a horse staring at me with wonder?

This is a one shot that's been going on in my mind. If anybody wants to see this continued if it receives enough appeal, I'll consider it.

Life can be so cruel depending on what the dice roll may be. Most ponies get the good end of the stick as they gain their cutie marks for such extravagant and great things; but what happens to the bad end of that stick? It doesn't just disappear. Oh no. Someone else has to catch hell while others catch heaven. If it was all fun and dandy for everypony, the order of the world would be thrown out of wack.

Which is why he's here. To take up all that badness and hold it deep inside of him. Under careful watch of course. Because just as easily as he can take that darkness in, he can just as easily spread it and give it back.

Pinkie Pie. A pony who is random beyond belief and even rips apart reality itself. She is truly a master of her fate and lets no pony or anything tell her otherwise. She has all sorts of neat abilities and doesn't flaunt them on purpose.
Yet, one of her abilities she keeps a mystery from every pony else. A ability that would shake the very foundation of the pony world. Of any world for that matter. It's the secret to why all of her concoctions, hers and the cakes, are so good. The mystery behind it is a lot more... disturbing than you would have guessed.
She even gave everypony a hint at the last Halloween event.

Twilight is finally at rest again after settling things over with her friends and the princesses. With her castle now risen before the town of Ponyville she now has everything she ever wanted. A castle, her friends, and soon even her own student. Celestia has asked her to consider that and she had.
Now with everyone resting at home Twilight seeks the advice of the old books of the castle that lay in ruins.

Zak was a lonely boy. He didn't have friends when he was younger. He blamed it on the fact that he's weird. His mother always tried to get him to think positive and let no one keep him down. That's why when he told his mother that he has a friend in his room that she didn't find it odd she couldn't see it. She knew her son would come up with an imaginary friend and figured no harm could come from it.

Days later incidents started happening and she put a stop to his "friend seeing". She figured it worked. He never said anything about his friend and pretended like he wasn't there. But she never knew. None of them knew.

Zak is now eighteen and has finally moved out from his mothers and is heading for college with his "friends" that he's picked up along the way.
