"Big Mackintosh, I don't think ya understan'. I have some money now, we can save Appleblo-"

"Dammit Applejack, you don't get it. Applebloom is dead, she died last night, how many times are you gonna make me say it?" I heard him crying on the other line. The realization hit me as hard as a semi would hit a rabbit crossing the road. Head on it hit me. Almost crippled me up onto the floor.

"She can't be, I saw her two days ago, how can she-"

"She's gone Applejack, just come home. Please, I don't wanna lose you too. Just come home."

Applejack has moved on with her family from the farm to a smaller city farther east. After a chance encounter, little Applebloom over the years has developed a sickness few have survived from. When Applejack finds something that could change their lives forever she is dropped into a much bigger game that if she doesn't find a way out it could wind up killing everypony she knows.
