• Story: White Box


    [Sad/Bittersweet] Everyone says this one is amazing. The white/black swap has a point, so roll with it.

    Description: My name is Canvas. I remember because I wrote it in the corner of the white box. It takes twelve steps to get from the cot to the wall. And the lights hurt my eyes.

    1. This is an awesome little abstraction of a story. Sorta reminds me of Plato's allegory of the cave, where people spend their whole lives in a cave to believe the shadows on the walls are the only reality.

    2. @Star Pony I hadn't really drawn those parallels, but I definitely see them now. Perhaps it's why I enjoyed the fic so much.

    3. "There’s also Rarity, a unicorn whose mane is a majestic purple while her fur is an ugly white."

      You sir are brilliant, I loved this story, and strangly, I tend to associate colours to things in my mind aswell...

    5. Fascinating... completely fascinating. So interesting, and thoughtful. I really cannot think of a FIM story like this... nor do I think, there will ever be one like this.

    6. This story pushes an image into my head...

      I've never seen it before, yet I know it...

      Everything looks different to when I started reading...

    7. This was a joy to read, and the ending makes me wonder what really happens. Why must you tease us so! Seriously it was awesome and engaging and thought provoking. 6 stars!
