A prequel written for the Fallout: Equestria [url=http://www.fimfiction.net/group/240/_/thread/12758/]300 member contest[/url]. A prequel story to a fo:e story I'm hoping to write in collaboration with a friend of mine. The origins of Shade, a zebra, that led to her future life decisions. The theme is 'Why did you do that?' Note: Exactly 3000 words, even though it says a bit more. Don't know where it is counting the extra 48 words. But some how that number is going up.
