I'm working on a MLP story that was inspired by an SCP.
This one:
The story's name is The Mask of Atanciel.
It's rough and hasn't been cleaned up or seen by an editor.
I plan for this story to be one chapter.
Here is an excerpt:
A pathetic looking griffon wearing a white mask with gold highlights danced in Horseald Park. This park was just a few steps from the well known Marecy's, a great bastion of consumerism in Manehattan.
Most of the passerbys just took pictures or ignored the griffon. The few ponies homeless or not watched the capering creature with varying degrees of fear and or disgust.
Those levels went up when a black substance started oozing from the mouth and eye holes of the mask.
Some of the ponies exited the park complaining about buskers doing anything to get a bit. A few ponies that called the park home viewed the newcomer with hostility. That changed to fear when the griffon started spewing a black tarry substance over some tables. Almost at the same time, all of the homeless ponies left the park never to return.
The obviously sick griffin tried to keep dancing while saying that better times were ahead because soon death wouldn't be a problem anymore. Viewers could see the filthy gray remnants of a lab coat swishing around as feathers floated from the dying creature. Its wings were a twisted lump of withered flesh. After a long coughing fit in which more black stuff splattered the area, the griffon collapsed. A diamond dog called for someone to call 911 while others trotted up to see if they could help.
Not sure how long it will take me to finish.
I do know how the story ends.
