I wanna return to monkey.

Under the impression that they are lucky, since rarely do mares ever give birth to twins, the Cakes decide to have another go at the whole having-a-baby thing.

They could not have anticipated the result.

Inspired by "Born of Man and Woman" by Richard Matheson.

I don't get it?

I haven't read the inspiration for this, but it makes me think of Lovecraft's Outsider, or a more sympathetic version of The Dunwich Horror. Nicely done.

It's pretty self-explanitory. Seems a bit more so than the original, but it's been a long time since I bothered to read that.

What do you fail to understand?

8200339 I personally just have a hard time comprehending stories which are from only one perspective. I have not read the original, so I guess I don't understand the story at all.

8200348 I would say this is less ambiguous (and also longer) than the original, so I don't think you'd have to read the inspiration to understand this story. I'm not much a horror fiction fan, truth be told, although I really enjoyed Matheson's short story and wanted to do something like it with ponies.

8200353 I quickly read the wiki version. Now I get it. Good story.

I can say that I enjoyed this. I liked seeing the perspective of this... Well, I don't know what it is. It was very interesting indeed.

I may not have read the story it was based off of/inspired by, but I enjoyed it. Have a like, my good friend!

Oof, didn't see that coming, then again, that's just oblivious me.

A pretty good, thrilling tale, though I do wonder about the sci-fi tag.

The poor thing. All it wants is love. It isn't really cruel or violent just lonely, sad, and badly mistreated.

8200732 There are basically two stories as to the origin of the "monster." Either it's a horrifically deformed pony, which is what we're led to believe for most of the fic, or it's possibly an alien-pony hybrid. Ultimately it doesn't matter, because either way it's still a freak of nature.

No real ending? Ok.

Interesting.

8202378 actually it could be an open ending where you wonder how it does end in most ways so make it up man make it up

8203174 I shalt MAKE IT UP!

Carrot Cake is all like:

Also...

The most recent book the pink mare read to me was about some foals who are not much older than me who go on a time travel adventure or something, and there are these weird mares who help them out cuz they want to find their dad. If my dad-

Wait a second... Is that A Wrinkle in Time? You sly bastard ;P

So he's black... And like charred earth. And he secretes green goo slime. Is he a changeling?

Too many eyes. Eat rats and bugs.

and I hurt meself before a while back

I will be hearing an Irish accent the entire time I read this. I know that's not the intention, but now my mind has been set.

I'm listening to a dark soundtrack and Mellohi by C418 started playing just when it was implied this... baby... has extra eyes and legs. I feel like I set myself up to lose sleep.

What does the foal look like?

i love the narration style so much
