A Stallion Named Crystal River

by Burningbloom78
A mature stallion decides to run away from everything as the truth he bears is too much to take, but he needs to face it, for his own sake. Alone, he perishes in his room. With aid, there's a way out, but he must take the first steps.

There once was a stallion who dreams of running away far from what he knows, from his very home. When he's awake, there is nothing but pain, the encroaching fear of loneliness, and less-than-helpful suggestions from within his psyche. When he's awake, he has to face the world around him, another nightmare.

The stallion is overwhelmed by this truth that he tries to dream it away by running...galloping to places unknown; anything to get away from this painful truth. But no matter how far his hooves take him, he is always back at the start.

He needs help, but not from professionals. He needs somepony to be there for him; an anchor; a friend. What he needs is a beacon of light to shine away the gnawing darkness. Even when guided, he will have to do most of the work.

This is his last chance to fight against the fearsome tide that threatens to sweep him away, and the one inside his psyche trying to drag him under the surging waves.

What will be witnessed is the beginning. The rest is an uncertain future.
