Doctor Sparks has never believed in ghosts, and the stories about Canterlot General Hospital being haunted by them didn't discourage him at all from taking on a position there as assistant chief of surgery. But when he awakens one night to a lifeless building filled with inexplicable and horrifying creatures, the doctor is forced to reconsider everything he thought he knew about the hospital, his beliefs, and his own mind. Because at Canterlot General, the past has a way of creeping up on you. Because at Canterlot General, sometimes the present and future do too. Because at Canterlot General, there are things that haunt you, things that hunt you, things you can never truly escape from.

Because at Canterlot General, everything loops.

I am Cold, swirling snow that turns ponies against each other, searing ice that freezes them solid. I am Survivor, the one the Friendfyre spell didn't catch, an exception that proves an impossible rule. I am Fear, Frustration, Anger, Hatred, every emotion my Creator has ever felt. I am her Future. I am her Past.

I am Demon, and Clover the Clever is my Master.

Starlight and Trixie, as part of their duties as staff of the School of Friendship, traveled outside Equestria for a recruitment drive. However, their trip to Mount Aris was waylaid by a problem with the railway. Still wanting to make good time, Starlight decided they should hoof it through the wilderness south of Equestria.

Just south of the MacIntosh Hills, the two find a vast forest before them. With every step inside, the canopy above grows thicker and thicker. They may never see the sun again.

Now with an amazing reading by FaolanCortez!

Marble's life on the farm is simple and idyllic. She helps out Pa and Limestone, and in her spare time carves and sculpts rocks. She has it pretty great, she thinks. It cannot last.
Pa thinks it's high time she get married and settle down to focus on more important things, like family, and work. He doesn't see her sculptures as a way to make a living, and insists she visit the Pairing Stone for a match.
Reluctantly, she agrees.
She meets her suitors, but the Pairing Stone says all three of them are a good match. Marble thinks they're all equally unsuited. She refuses to marry any of them, and will go to great lengths to keep her freedom.

Legend tells of a shadowy demon that consumes the souls of the living. When Applebloom is found comatose in the Everfree, Twilight comes to learn the horrifying truth—some legends are real. Spurred by fear, she ventures into the darkness of Applebloom's nightmare, and the unimaginable terrors within.

Nightmare Moon's return heralded a new age of darkness for Equestria. Celestia did not stand a chance, but contrary to most pony's expectations, a cold and thankless night was not their fate.
Nightmare Moon kept warmth, heat, and life, moving through the land, probably due to some fell magic. In this new landscape, ponies need to find new lives for themselves, and Chatelaine is one such pony.
Thrown from the castle, she becomes a delivery pony to make ends meet. This delivery goes out to a village in the middle of nowhere, where she finds darkness has taken on a new life, and the village is more dangerous than she imagined.

A stallion is out climbing the mountains north of the Crystal Empire. When the glacier he and his companion are on cracks, he finds himself trapped deep within an icy crevasse, where hunger, sleep deprivation, and the bitter cold wear on his body and mind.
