Why does everyone instantly assum the story is about writing?
Who is the girl, and why is the character screaming at the moon?

Why, oh why; do I have the sence of a recap of an Episode we have already seen?

Starlight's Talent is Magic, so if she gave it up, her magic would be profoundly weak?

For the sake of the argument, these does look like valid points at the begining of the story.
As a counterargument, what if the words had been intended for the girl at the end of the story?
Is it uncommon to be tonguetied in the presence of someone you desire?

I guess I can see more of the disjointed argument as you put it, if it refers to the break between clear ration, to the dreamlike state.

If you don't feel invested, that isn't for me to comment on.

To be frank, the story is clearly vague on most of the background. The only clear item is the struggle with words.
A number of hints are spread out, but you are correct in the notion of interpreting these from your standpoint. We don't know the author since we don't know who it is. It's part of the point of the exersice, isn't it?

If the character of the narrative standpoint knows the girl? Isn't she the one most clearly defined in the tale? Defined as a girl, is a clear statement. Is there anything to suggest the character is male by any standard?

Knowing the words, exactly. What other posibilities could that statement imply? While I guess that could further confuse you as the reader.

> The only indication I can find that he knows the girl is ["Is it really you!"] and ["Is that you?"].
if it is referring to "Dusk!", it isn't exactly implied who it is.

If you are wrong, and if there are issues? Not quite the tome or word count to build up much.
Guess it feels safe to assume that the once who did not comment liked it even less and didn't understand even this much.

Terry to read it as face value?
Not everything has to be super cryptic, right?
>>JudgeDeadd
Why is that the simplest explanation?
Assuming you actually refer to the story
>>HorseVoice
Isn't that the average Bronie?
Neither quite the child, nor quite the adult.
>>Not_A_Hat
In this case, it sounds like a name; wile I guess it is a strange and unusual one?
Just noted that the sitations are less than complete.
>>shinygiratinaz
That is what I gathered about what happened, when all the details are omitted.

This is a rushed entry, but time isn't the issue.
You could give a few indications on items bothering you and suggest something?
>>Misternick
Only one story is the best, but that is for later.
Oh yeah, good old Twilight Zone.
>>Morning Sun
Went anywhere?
No, not really; but where would you want it to go, based on what you were faced with?
>>FanOfMostEverything
That does come out as odd.
If it isn't part of the Twilight Zone issue that brought us to the story? I would wager on residual disorientation, but that is just me.
The simplest answer is that she already was in the Castle, due being summoned to the councile in the first place, and just stepped in on Pinkie.
Could be a Ponification error, or a fashion style?

How is this cryptic? Are you sensing imagery or symbolism behind the story?
