Long Way from Tall Tales
Investigating a body is routine, but not pleasant, especially so late at night. Spitfire, bound by arbitrary duty, finds herself once again faced with an undesirable question. One that she's become familiar with before.
A duty bound a duty fulfilled. There was an agreement between the close town of Ponyville and the nearby Cloudsdale to have a Wonderbolt take up the duties of a simple officer to boost moral. Having nopony else she believes competent enough to take up the task, Spitfire reluctantly takes up the night shift where she gets the call to investigate a supposed train accident. The report indicated a single fatality on the tracks of a train carrying coal freight near midnight.
Grumbling at the cold, she meets with the one witness and allows herself to be lead to the scene...
