A tale of a pony that's seen a lot. His smile hides old hurts, and his laughter is a trade for other things, but he's put that all behind him, trotted off to the big city of Manehatten, where things don't work like that, right? A new life awaits.
This story may have biographical bits from the patron, who I will not be revealing, so there! The protag is a pony through and through, and Equestria has equestrian answers for him, for better or worse.
