The stallion woke one morning with a start.
Glancing at his clock, he noticed that he was nearly an hour late for his work.
With a jolt of adrenaline surging through his body, the stallion leapt out of bed, hastily throwing on his uniform, thankful that he took a shower the night before.
He ran out of his bedroom, not even taking time to get a yogurt or something from the fridge, grabbed his overcoat and went out the door.
Sprinting down four flights of stairs, the stallion got to the ground floor of his apartment building and rushed out the door and down the street.
Thankfully, the stallion’s work was not to far from where he lived and he managed to get there in a little under five minutes.
Silently opening the door, the stallion peered around the lobby, looking for his boss, but didn’t see him.
Sighing in relief, the stallion strode into the building, giving the receptionist a pleading glance to not tell anypony he was late.
Quick as a wink, the stallion stole down the hallway to his cubicle without any interference or obstacle.
As he passed by other cubicles, a few of his co-workers noticed him and waved, but the stallion gave them no thought.
He took a few papers out of his “IN” tray, spreading them around his desk so that it looked like he was working and leaned back in his chair.
A few seconds later, his boss peered around the corner and saw that the stallion was working hard and was pleased to have such good workers.
The rest of the day passed by without incident.
Now this is the story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down.
What if the stallion fell asleep one night and never woke up?
(I don't know, this is a really intriguing story but apparently I suck at story suggestions.)
What about a story where the stallion wakes up to go have a midnight snack before returning to bed.
Or one where he goes buy something.
This is the best story ever. Period.
Okay, to be honest, I do have one complaint: So far, there has been little content in this story that would demand it to be a pony fanfic. It could just as easily be original fiction, completely unrelated to MLP. However, we aren't that far in just yet, so I'll hold back my criticism until later.
Meanwhile, here's a few suggestions for that stallion:
#1 Making breakfast
#2 Public transit
#3 Friday night in a pub
#4 Going to the store
#5 The changeling attack on Canterlot
I think you came to calm down. This was a exciting chapter with that bit of almost-conflict. Let's try and keep true to previous chapters.
