Written for a creative writing elective course. This is a just for fun, one shot little short story. Styled as a journal entree, from a man that randomly got stuck in the land of Equestria. This chronicle excerpt is loosely based on this in-class prompt http://fsujs.deviantart.com/gallery/35355483#/d4s9jvm

My name is John, and I'm a long way from home. I'm continually flung through alternate planes of existence and have found myself in the early years of a land called Equestria. Currently I've been transformed into a pegasis to blend in with the locals. Times are tense with the recent enacting of an oligarchy, and the joining of nations. Word has it that all is not well between the two rulers and if I'm going to leave this place, I've to stop the squabbling, even if that means I burn the entire kingdom to the ground.

Planned and written within 6 days for iBrony's first ever fanfic contest, this fast paced, relatively well crafted piece follows Fluttershy as she desperately tries to help Zecora after her escape from the Everfree Forest leaves her in even worse condition than if she had stayed. Now it's up to Fluttershy to overcome her fears and venture deep within the woods to find the only thing that can save her friend.
