NEW EXCLUSIVE READING - The Bug in The Cave Chapter 1 (Patreon)

 Twilight Sparkle has been abandoned.

After an expedition into the badlands is torn to tatters by an unprecedented monster attack, Twilight finds herself stranded in a hostile environment with no safe way back home. With no supplies and no survival training, It all seems hopeless for the scholarly unicorn until she is discovered by a type of creature she has never seen before. A changeling named Thorax, a native of the badlands.

With Thorax's knowledge of the environment, he is Twilight's best chance of getting home safely. And by that same token, perhaps Twilight is the best chance the timid, pacifistic drone has of discovering something he has lived his entire life without.

Welp, a few months after the conclusion of Bug in The Basement, the time has come to start up a new reading! I decided to go with the spiritual successor to Bug in The Basement, for the sake of consistency, but also because this story is mercifully short when compared to Bug in The Basement. Only twenty-five or so chapters.

This first chapter will be available to everyone. However, until such time as the full reading is complete, any chapters that come after this one will be available only to Patrons, just like with Bug in The Basement.

You can listen to Chapter 1 here!
