I don't want to be a filly, but being a colt is simply impossible.

Stupid spoiled filly, born with everything and still unsatisfied.

But what am I supposed to do? I can't just...

Nopony would accept that. Everypony would just think I'm a freak.

Please be warned that this is a pure sadfic and is not meant to be hopeful. This story is meant to highlight the sheer hopelessness that may be experienced by being trapped in the closet in an uncaring environment. As such, this may not be suitable for all readers.

Zephyr Breeze is a worthless bum — a pony unable to root himself anywhere he drifts to, drowning his sorrows before he crawls back home to his parents once again.

He is nothing more than pony doomed to be torn apart by the winds of destiny dragging him from one city to the next.

Or is he?

Our Town is a settlement where ponies are finally, truly equal through casting aside their destiny and spitting in the face of fate.

In a dim, dingy bar, Double Diamond extends an offer to Zephyr.

Come join Our Town.

Come join our circle of friends, where you can finally be free.

The pony you love is sometimes not the pony others expect or want you to be with. But that doesn’t mean you can stop loving them — even when the world tears you apart.

Sometimes life just doesn't turn out like how you want it.

Please help me.

You have to help me.

Please.

Roseluck has decided to move to Ponyville to be with her two sisters. Fed up with city life, she is ready to kick back and enjoy the slow and calm countryside life.

There's just a tiny problem with the house she's looking at buying. It's nothing though. It's really nothing. There's just a lot of closet space — too much closet space.

Is she just overreacting, or is it actually weird to have an endless void in your closet?
