Stepford Smiler
Shadows covered the rotting walls as they scurried on through passing to and from, no
sound emitting from them leaving the room to its silence. When could it have been the last time
she heard a voice? A week? A month? More? The only thing to remind the pink maned disaster
of time passing would be the occasional moments when she would pass out of exhaustion. She
had no contact with the outside world, no contact with anyone, no self-gratification in making
someone smile. When the food did come, on the times she was awake for its delivery, she would

door. He or she must not hear well, for he or she never answers. Despite that

As if the world grew tired of watching her from behind closed door, she was soon graced with
access to another being. The door that allowed food in, swung open. "Hello, my name is Ärztin and I
have been watching you for some time." The white mare with a tied back pure white mane said resting
her ruby red eyes on a clipboard she suspended in midair with her unicorn magic.
"Hertsin? That's a weird name, what does it mean? Does it-" she wanted to take advantage of
finally seeing someone other than the empty void of nothing, though her lungs would not allow her to.
So she began to cough up air as if she choked on it. All the while the white mare with the sophisticated
name ignored her coughing fit, never laying her gaze on the other.
"Ja, it specifically means female doctor." she said after hearing Pinkie's coughing subside.
"Why are you here? I'm not sick, is mommy sick? Did daddy finally kick the can? What does kick
the can mean? And why did mommy say he was going to kick the can sooner or later? What did the

“We must leave now, before lockdown night watch.” She began out believing that the
mare would follow, which she did. “Lockdown night watch is what it sounds like, this hospital
had employed tough security for the night shift so no danger could come to both the doctors
employed for night shift or full day shifts, or the patients.” She said after a brief pause knowing
that silence from the pink mare means she is in a state of confusion.
“Have you ever had the night shift?” Pinkamena asked the guiding doctor, stuck in awe at
the new information. She was never let out of her cell, and so didn’t know the hospital ever
changed.
“They couldn’t pay me enough to, I actually do have a life outside these steel doors you
know.” Ärztin said almost immediately after hearing the question. “I was almost caught into
nightshift when I didn’t hurry out of here, but a friend who works the shift allowed me to leave.”
As they turned the corner, the world around them began to grow brighter; with each step that
passed the scent of the world that once shut her out, enveloped Pinkamena.
“It’s so bright outside,” exclaimed Pinkamena as she raised her eyes to meet the

My father would always tell me a story about a warrior who decided to leave during the battle and hide in a cave in the Himalayan mountains. He felt tired and hungry from fighting vigorously. Since he did not have anything to do, he became curious and began to look around at the dark weary walls. He then saw an ant carrying a grain of rice to the other side of the wall. However, the grain of rice would fall. The ant crawled back to where the grain of rice had fallen and picked it up to embark on its journey to the opposite wall. The determined ant did this over again for thirty times. The warrior learned an important lesson that when we face challenges, we need to try our best and never lose hope. The courageous warrior went back to the battle feeling undaunted and diligent towards winning the battle.
