Golly!--- , imagine being stuck as a statue for years, unable to move, talk, or even blink. That’s my life now. Cozy Glow—once the smartest, most powerful filly in all of Equestria—turned into a stone decoration in the Canterlot Gardens. It’s so boring here, and everypony keeps visiting like they pity me or something. But then… somepony starts leaving these white roses at my hooves. Why? What’s the point? It’s not like I’m ever getting out of here… right?

This story is a contest entry for the 5th Annual Cozy Glow Short Story Contest inspired by the renowned fanfic "The Keepers of Discord," exploring themes of time, regret, and redemption from a different perspective.

The prompt used is : -And that was when she realized it had all gone wrong

It was a short lived collaboration with a close friend of mine in real life who truly helped me getting through it towards the ends, thank you Matt ♡

Hopefully my entry is valid as I am quite proud of it! :)

UPDATE 2024-09-11: I am on the feature page!! Which is incredible! Also, to anyone who seemed disappointed with the ending, I made an epilogue with a slightly more satisfying ending, clarifying some points! I lnow it may jeopardize my entry to the contest... but I care more about delivering a good story at this point! Enjoy! :D
