A plague has swept over Canterlot, and it has caused much of the population to fall ill. The water has stopped flowing, the food is in short supply, and all residents are required to wear gas masks and full-body suits at all times to keep them from being contaminated. One young filly and her brother are forced to venture out into the woods to retrieve a possible antiviral, but end up finding much more than they had anticipated.
A very short, and arguably depressing adventure story.
