Have you ever gotten that feeling where you're looking at something and it gives you a strong sense of deja vu like you've seen the exact same thing somewhere before but you don't know where?

I thought it was just an ordinary advertisement pamphlet, something the mailpony had stuck in my door. The big letters at the top read, "Tired of getting stuck in pamphlets? Try out our new pamphlet ~~destruction~~ obstruction device!"

I let out a snort. The irony of the advertisement struck me, and it was quite amusing the moment I read it. Plus, who in the world uses "destruction" for pamphlets? Apparently, the pony who made the ad thought the same way.

Then my eyes shifted downwards, and I stopped in my tracks. A yellow pegasus mare was holding a pamphlet in her hoof, standing against a background that seemed like an ordinary household. But there was something familiar about it. I couldn't place a hoof on what, but there was definitely something that brought on a strong feeling of deja vu.

Could it be the mare holding the paper? No, I had never seen her in my life. Was it the background? But it wasn't even a house I recognized! Maybe the way the furniture is placed? I don't even have a worktable in the house!

There was nothing I could recognize about the picture, yet the deja vu grew stronger than ever. I frantically searched the image for something, anything that I could make a connection with myself, yet I couldn't find a single point of similarity. My hoof was trembling and I began to hyperventilate, yet I couldn't tear my eyes away from that piece of paper.

A sharp knocking sound broke me out of my trance. I jumped and yelped, dropping the pamphlet. I rushed over to the door and opened it, only to find Pinkie Pie standing outside. She had brought me cupcakes, saying that it was the third anniversary of her becoming friends with me. I thanked her, and we chatted as we enjoyed the confectionary.

When I came back, the pony in the pamphlet was gone.
