This is just a quick collection that I decided to throw together. I like doing quick stories, so I figured I'd write several little dark one-shots with a similar background and compile them into a single story. They're really brief and mostly serve as an artistic study on my ability to create characters and set a mood. There's very little story development, it's more of a collection of scenes, but it's something I got myself interested in so I figured I'd try it out. Criticism is always welcomed, so if you like the story and/or think I need to improve my skills both as a writer and as a teller of stories, please leave a comment saying how.

(Oh, by the way, before anyone says anything, this is in no connection to the "Ask Magpie" Tumblr, I actually didn't even know that existed until after I started writing this and was looking around various websites for good cover images, happy coincidence.)

As always, I don't own anything related to My Little Pony, Hasbro (except maybe a few of their toys somewhere) or whatever else this may be related to. Any actual names or likenesses are purely coincidental and should be disregarded, and I'm definitely not making any kind of a profit on this, so lawyers can just f*ck off.
