When the fire goes out- An Mlp OC Fanfic

Have you ever felt like, no matter what you do, you're not good enough? Well, I feel like that every single day. My name is Flicker Flame. You don't know me? Nobody ever does. Well perhaps you know my mother, the amazing Spitfire, Captain of the Wonderbolts.

The reason you don't know me is that my mother would never dare talk about me in public, not to all those famous, fantastic flyers she hangs out with. Why? Because I am a disappointment, that's why. I don't know what I can do to change her opinion, because there ISN'T anything I can do. I am blind. I can't see anything. How can I change that? I can hear, talk, walk, and live just the same as any other young colt, I just can't see.

If that wasn't enough, I can't fly either. When I was younger, I had a huge accident, which meant that my wings had to be fused in place. They are now held in place by a huge heavy metal brace that weighs so much I feel like my hooves are constantly being forced through the ground. I still have nightmares about it every night.

Ironic huh? The son of the best flier in Equestria can't fly at all.

I bet my mother wishes I was a small version of her. I wish that as well sometimes. I just want her to love me like she would if I could see and fly. But that won't happen. Because I am me. Nobody loves me. Nobody cares. I hate my life, and soon, I will flicker out.
