A man wakes up in a hospital surrounded by ponies, and learns that he arrived the previous night after carrying a princess to their doors. The princess was terribly injured, and he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The strangest thing of all? The ponies are more concerned than he is about everything!

...Everything except the Talons of Shadow, of course...

NOTICE: If you do not tell me why you downvoted my story, I have to assume it is the concept you dislike, and not a mistake on my part. If I do not know how to write better, I have no choice but to assume that my writing is not the problem.

Please leave feedback in the comments. Keep notes as you read, if you need to. I love to write, but I need feedback to improve. I need to know I can be good at this, and the only way to be good is to find out where I'm going wrong. Hate comments will be ignored, of course. I expect constructive criticism, not mindless ranting.

Also, if you feel I should have a specific tag, please feel free to suggest it. I am also taking suggestions on groups to submit the story to, if anyone has any ideas.
