Twilight awakens in darkness.

Written for the second Thousand Word Contest, under the Horror Category!

Thanks to ScarredVirtue for pre-reading!

Now with an audio-reading by Mystery Pony Fiction!

Starlight Glimmer and Trixie Lulamoon bake muffins inside the palace kitchen.

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.

[Originally written based on the /fic/ Writeoff prompt "Time And Time Again".]

This story is a sequel to Pray, Hope and Wander

White Clover,

Given the new writings included in the addendum to the provided journal transcription, I’ve elected to continue our investigation through conversing with whoever, or whatever, is on the other side of it. They claim to be Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's personal student. I’d like to request that Princess Celestia is not informed of this possibility until we can verify their identity.

As such, from this day forward I will be sending daily reports before sundown with transcription of our conversations, along with any thoughts I have. Included with these documents is a formal request of personnel transfer for Doctor Blue Sky to my team in order to assist with any psychological evaluations related to the writer of the journal. His team will continue to support evaluations of personnel working the case.

Special thanks to FloydienSlip, Petrichord, and KorenCZ11 for their help with feedback.

Neuroscience has advanced in the twenty years since Cozy Glow was turned to stone. Twilight can help her now. She's sure of it.

All it'll take is a simple surgery.

Preread by the lovely OP!

One night upon awakening, Fluttershy sees two pinpoints of light starring back at her from the foot of her bed. Whatever it is appears to stare her down. She finds herself in a situation which may just be the end of her life unless she can escape before the Thing moves first...

Everypony always thought Trixie was a nutcase, what with giving into an ancient relic that rendered her mind null and overwhelmed her with sheer magical power and that time that she tried to enslave all of Ponyville. But one of the quirks that nopony could explain was her irrational fear of wheels. Well, Starlight decides to ask.

Apparently, wheels are not good when sold on discount.

Now with a dramatic reading by Neighrator Pony! Check it out here.

Everyone gets scared of the dark sometimes. When you're a kid, you might need a nightlight to make all the bad stuff go away. When you grow up and grow old, though, sometimes that darkness has something special waiting for you, and no nightlight can shine it away. I'll just keep telling myself that if I don't look, it can't get me. Right?

Please Note: This reads more like stream of consciousness psychological creepiness, rather than monster or classical style horrors.
