Do you want to hear a scary story?

You do? Oh…well…okay. You’re the first pony I asked who didn’t turn me away. Most just looked at me funny, or just told me to get lost. A lot of ponies don’t like scary stories. I know I don’t.

What? Oh, I guess I should introduce myself. My name’s Scootaloo.

Really? Before bed? Come on!!!!!

Fuck...

Now I can't listen to the stories at my scout troop campfires...

...speaking of, what would happen if someone told this story to a group of people?

Wait...where did YOU hear this story...?:pinkiegasp:

7699575 In my dreams, my friend. Fade is always whispering to me. Either I tell his story or we become best friends...forever.

You've mentioned two other stories in the author's note, but they don't seem to exist. I quite enjoyed this one, any chance of finding the others?

7892183 They're both on :pinkiehappy:my stories list. Click the mature stories link on your page. That might be why you don't see them.

Forgot I turned that off :facehoof: , I like to check both versions of the featured list.

Does not help that at the end, a cold draft came from beneath my window. :twilightblush:

I got an honest -to-God chill down my back once I realized why Scootaloo was telling that story. This reminded me of The Ring, with that feeling of being trapped in a death spiral. I'm glad I read this during the daylight hours. Hopefully, it will stay out of my dreams.

Bravo, author!

Glad you liked it.

Label Horror! :D Chills!

Loved it!

Well, so long?... Really?

If I was a cruel pony, I would go ahead and tell both HER friends AND Rainbow Dash, seeing as she mentioned them ALL in the same story.

But I am not, so I will shoulder this burden with her. However, I would try to find a way to deal with spirits, WITHOUT telling the story itself.


A great story overall, good build-up and vibes. ^^

This seems kind of like it fallows, and I hate it for that, but I love it Because it’s so good, and how you have the scary bit be the chill, people like you are Why I cannot sleep well.

Killing sleep is what I do best.

scootaloo sings" do you want to hear a scary story?"
me: no thanks
scootaloo sings "ok bye"

see what i did there?

Man, that's spooky! If I had written something like this, I would've tried to find a way to end it with Scootaloo saying, "...Here he comes."

Cheers!
This was a wonderful story, very subtle undernotes of horror boiling to the surface under the base.
Quick question: what ultimate purpose does Fade serve? Was his cutie mark going to be something based on friendship/communication, thus casting him into a destiny of making friends however he can forevermore? Or is he more of a tulpa...e.g, he's only around in the first place because his story was told enough times, because his parents and friends remembered, even if they didn't want to, and because anyone who hears this story will never forget?
Second question: would you mind linking the other two stories? I wasn't able to find them, but I can't resist a good Crusader story from such an aficionado of horror!

Reviewed in Round 179

Think I found a new favorite author. You seem very good at writing horror. I'm definitely checking out your other stories.

Why did I read the title to the tune of Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

Well, judging from how your other stories have made me feel. I'm sure this silliness will wear off really quickly once I start reading.

That was very sad.
The thing that kept me from doing to myself what Fade did is... that I knew life would go on soon after and it wasn't like I'd win. Guilt would not plague anyone for it. Kids are vicious and evil and ending it due to bullying and teasing wouldn't fix their behavior.
Idk what it is about ghosts, if they're real, that makes me more sad than afraid. I do believe in ghosts, but I don't exactly fear them.

All that aside, this was a pretty good story with minimal errors and I was kept interested throughout the whole thing. I'm glad to have read all your CMC spookies. You're a wonderful writer.
