Some day you will find me, caught beneath a landslide, in a champagne supernova in the sky.
Twilight wakes up one day to see that a plain door with her name engraved on it has appeared in her room. She's not sure where it came from, why it's there, or where it leads if it leads anywhere. Soon curiosity turns to fear as she is left with questions and no answers. The most terrifying aspect of it all is that the door seems to possess a will of its own and she can feel its sinister intentions.

A terrible fate no doubt.

Praise Him. (Note the minotaur thing was from a Dr. Who episode -- "The God Complex")

Yeah I was a bit put off by that too, but nothing actually came up that warranted a stronger rating. Still feels weird for sure.
Vaguely reminiscent of The Enigma of Amigara Fault...

Lol
Curious. I honestly can't tell if this is an effective case of using the reader's imagination against them or not quite doing enough to make it work. Though I do have to wonder why Twilight didn't, you know, talk to any of her friends about this (aside from needing to fit the word limit, of course.) Either way, enjoyably creepy. Thank you for it and best of luck in the judging.

Thank you for reading, and I'm glad to get solid criticism from someone who's work I enjoy so much! I'll try to keep some of those potential plot holes in mind going forward. I found that it was definitely a concept I would have liked to go more into (if not for it being a thousand words). Maybe I'll try something similar again in the future. Horror can be pretty fun to write and I definitely want more practice!
the door! was it made for her?
dang, but that would make for an even sicker prank!
aww, that's my headcanon, too!
it does seem quite illogical even in the context of a magical land of ponies
aww, it is convenient that Twilight lives in a giant, empty castle with a ludicrous number of rooms for the number of creatures who live in it
oof, that is very unsettling to imagine
between this and Twilight's innate sense that the door is so wrong it doesn't belong in this plane of existence... that is fascinating!
oof, love how the definiteness of this statement makes it hit hard! great way to end it with the pieces that were set up, with everything going up in (red glow!) metaphorical flames as Twilight is forced through the door by forces beyond her grasp.
there is something delightfully meta about all this! the door is an intrusion into the reality of the story's world. it makes no sense in the internal logic of this world, or even narrative logic in general. there is no character arc or motivation to drive the decisions in the story. Twilight's fate is to go through it, never to return, because the story dictates that that is how the story must end (it's literally labeled with her name!), and in the end she succumbs to it.
and of course, another way to interpret how she never returned is because the story ends at that point. there is no place to return to! it, Twilight, the door, and everything no longer exist now that the story is over.
lovely stuff!
