JOY PONY 1 MY LITTLE DASHIE TV
The TV show My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is one of his few escapes from his gray and dull world. His parents are dead, he has few friends, little money and no real purpose in life. He lives in what he calls a "dying city" which was once a manufacturing hub but has now fallen on hard times.

The story opens with the narrator complaining about the monotony in his life. The changes in tense which appear random at some times, purposeful at others, suggest that a majority of the story consists of memories being relived by the narrator. Tense switches from past to present occasionally, sometimes within the same sentence. Many of these vignettes are written in a diaristic style. Each vignette details an important moment in the life the narrator and "Dashie" have together.
