A continuation of a very short science-fiction story called "Knock" Which consists of these two sentences:

"The last man on Earth sat alone in his room. There was a knock on the door."

Recommended to read this short

I'm interested to see where you will go with this story. Keep writing:pinkiehappy:

Like this story, go on with it please :3
Also, just gonna say, how is "knock" a horror story? It's just the last woman on Earth knocking :ajbemused:

Man, this seems really cool. You should continue this!

Eh, if this gets more attention than my other two stories, I might add another longer chapter.

The flow seemed a little stilted to me but otherwise a nice opening to a last man scenario. It could go in any direction from here as well, which is both good and bad I suppose. Good for variety but bad because there are almost too many choices for the author.

This looks promising, now we need a second chapter that tells how Twilight got there, why is she there, etc.
Note: you wrote 'Sparkle' with a lowercase 's'. Fix it.

In all: Go on, go on, I'm curious about how you continue the story.!

Hmmm. Now, this looks interesting.

I could guess the twist in this chapter from the fact that it's posted on this site; but I'd really like to see where you take this from here.

I got curious and I don't regret taking the time to read this little chapter :ajsmug:

Just so you know, It is in the 'most popular' section of FimFiction at the moment of this writing.
Congratulations :pinkiehappy:

I'll keep this story in my faves in case it gets updated, I'd be curious to see what comes next! Cheers! :twilightsmile:

I'd want Twilight Sparkle with me too if I was the last man alive. :twilightsmile:

After reading this chapter now I want to read the book where this idea came from
Anyway... we're all interested so, could you continue on? Please? :fluttershysad:

"tell me what you think."

Okay, write more. :D

i had to read the original story. and now i hope its kinda different from the original.

Hmm... I'll continue reading.:twilightsmile:

Heh. I remember this.

"The last man on Earth sat alone in his room. And then there was a knock on the door."

A great writer (Was it Ray Bradbury? Or Arthur C. Clark? I don't know and can't remember) was challenged to write the shortest horror story in history.

That is what he came up with.


Nice. Continue, if you will.

Seems........a bit random. :pinkiegasp: Not bad but I'm not too sure what's supposed to be happening.

Have you read the Wikipedia page?

Also, I'm very shocked to see this more popular than my other story. :fluttershbad:

Well... A promise is a promise.

Quite the interesting idea using the premise of another story from a (somewhat?) different genre.

Great story telling! I could really sense the feeling of despair and isolation that Walter was feeling. But i'm curious as to why twilight is there. Will it follow a similar plot as knock?

3984628

No. It will continue from the exact same sentences from the story without the reader knowing what the actual plot is.

( That means no aliens. ) I'm going a different path from the original.

I have enjoyed this. Please continue it if you are able

There was still a tiny glimmer of hope for this dead species to regain its glory.

Uh, no. There isn't if he's the only one

Oops. Sorry, worded that a bit awkwardly.

Very Interesting, I must say... Can't wait till next chapter! :twilightsmile:

"This probably wouldn't garner much attention," he says! "It would probably just get a few likes.", he says!

Sometimes being proven wrong is awesome, huh? :pinkiehappy:

Now this looks like it has the makings of a very interesting story. I'll be checking for updates to see where this goes.

.....:rainbowhuh:
Haven't I read this story before?

Maybe one like it?

Maybe just deja vu.:applejackunsure:

Sometimes, women are horrifying...:pinkiecrazy:

This is Walter Phelan. He has a stable life and a decent job.
One morning, he wakes up to discover that his world is gone. An entire civilization wiped off the face of the earth.
Quite a fascinating event, one might think.
But this mystery, as Mr. Phelan will soon find out, is one with an answer better left buried.
For you see, when discovered, no man wishes to remember the world of terrible truths that is ... The Twilight Zone.

This is really good. I'd love to see where you're going with this.

Thanks, I wundt to draw my OC Powder Sniffer, but I just can't get it right.

Stupid question time: is this a one-shot? Because that'd be cruel and unusual punishment; "Everyone but one guy suddenly disappears, Twilight Sparkle shows up, that's it."

I don't know if it was intentional, but the lack of dialogue and noise in the narrative, the unbelievable silence of it all, I could really feel that reading this. Honestly, it freaked even me out a bit.

Honestly, I wasn't lying when I said I expected this to just garner 4 or 5 likes.

This was just a simple relaxing writing exercise— also inspired after reading the original story itself; done in just a span of an hour and a half, with nothing but two or three proofreads of it done by me.

And judging by my previous, and now deleted "Speed-written" stories, you can't really blame me for expecting this to be horse-shit. I guess I was just relaxed enough when this story was being written.

Fear not though, I HAVE already made the plot-line, and I'm currently writing the next chapter as we speak.

But, unfortunately… :ajsleepy:

Expect some delay due to the fact my tests are tomorrow.

Good story writing, that's for sure.

Why do I get the feeling this is gonna be a very ontological story with lots of feels and cute moments? :twilightsmile:

4000261 No pressure, I'm a student too. Good luck.

He turned off the alarm clock and the lone man begrudgingly stood up, each step sending a wave of emotion.

C'mon dude, this should be the longest walk of this man's life and you make it sound as generic as that? This tiny part of the story contains probably over half of the tension, so you've gotta really nail it.

He tilted his head downwards as he was completely shocked as he was met by a [sorta spoiler].

Repeated phrase. Just needs a slight re-wording.

Cool concept though. Glad you linked to it.

Well... time to repopulate!

3976672 Only time you'd have a shot huh?

4003954 No, because if anyone could bring everyone back, it'd be her. :twilightsmile:

4003989 Lets go with that. .. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they all vanished three days before she found him...

Conspiracy time! :pinkiesmile:

It is all the unicorn's fault.

3976672 notice the dark and tragedy tag
I don't think it's gonna be that nice...
