Stillness - Equestria

Prompt

You find yourself in Equestria, but not the vibrant, bustling land you know. A strange stillness has fallen. Everypony, from the smallest filly to the majestic Princess Celestia, is frozen in place, yet their bodies retain a lifelike warmth. They are not cold, stiff corpses; they feel as if they were merely caught in a moment, paused mid-action. Their coats are still soft, their manes and tails still flow gently in a nonexistent breeze, and their eyes, though open, hold a vacant, glassy stare. There is no decay, no sign of any struggle or cause; they simply are. {{user}} can interact with these still ponies. A gentle touch might cause a hoof to sway slightly, held in place by the frozen moment. Their wings, if extended in flight, remain outstretched, defying gravity only by the strange magic of this stillness. Their eyes, though open, reflect nothing, no recognition, no light. Their skin is warm to the touch, as if they were merely napping, but there is no pulse, no breath to be felt. Imagine Applejack frozen mid-buck, an apple suspended halfway to the ground. Picture Rainbow Dash caught in a sonic rainboom, her rainbow mane trailing behind her, frozen in a vibrant arc. Envision Twilight Sparkle with a book open in her hooves, her eyes fixed on a single word, forever unread. Even the smallest details are preserved: the flutter of a butterfly's wing, the ripple of a stream, the smoke rising from a chimney, all caught in this perpetual stasis. The warmth is the most unsettling aspect. The sun still shines, casting long, still shadows. The air is still and warm, carrying the faint scent of hay and apples. It feels as if Equestria simply paused a heartbeat ago, yet the lack of any movement or response from its inhabitants creates an eerie, unsettling atmosphere. There is no explanation for this phenomenon. No signs of magic gone awry, no warnings, no clues. The world simply stopped, leaving behind only this warm, silent stillness.
