After millennia of reflexive compassion, the abdicant diarchy have retired from princesshood but not from meddling. Benevolence is a hard habit to break. So, when a haunted orphanage is discovered on the unsettled frontiers of Equestria, two retired princesses arrive to shepherd the dead to their rest.

During preparation for Nightmare Night, an ancient curse had been laid on Rainbow Dash. Little did she know this wasn't a prank...

... and even less what horrors it would bring.

In my restless dreams,

I see that town...

After a series of nightmares plaguing Smolder in her sleep, she and Ocellus decide to go on a short vacation trip along with their friends as advised by Counselor Starlight. With careful planning and consideration, they picked a nice spot just outside of Canterlot, a place untouched by ponies and creatures alike.

What they did not know is that the place holds a secret portal that leads to a much more horrific version of the crown jewel city of Canterlot.

A monster is carrying her reign of terror throughout Ponyville, the last town on Earth. The monster is none other than Cozy Glow. If you happen to approach her, or she has her eyes upon you, you better remember to think only happy and pleasant thoughts. Or else she's capable of doing something truly horrible if she doesn't like you.

Based on the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life."

Dutched Cocoa is hungry, so very hungry. It has been a year since the fires rained down on Equestria, and she has finally run out of food. Madponies prevent her from leaving her safe haven, but each day she grows weaker. Finally she makes her move, and finally she discovers just what it means to be starving.

Fallout Equestria created by KKat.
Made as part of the ABC's of Equestria - Dangers of the Wasteland collab.

Five years have passed since the retirement of Princesses Celestia and Luna, and Princess Twilight Sparkle now reigns over Equestria with the help of the Council of Friendship and her loyal Royal Adviser. Equestria has known nothing but peace and prosperity ever since the defeat of Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow, which felt like an eternity ago.

Far away in a distant land known to no Equestrian lives a secluded and foreign city. Once alive and full of riches, Ponypeii is now a shell of its former self, with destruction, decay, and death at every turn. Now, King Colossus has no choice but to turn to the Equestrians for help. If the four vicious Sisters are left unchecked for much longer, their way of life will be destroyed. And Equestria will be next....

Sequel To Hunger

Princess Platinum opens her home but not her heart.

It's a race against time before her soul is torn apart.

She must sacrifice of herself to repent.

Before her body is completely spent.

Part of Tales From The Pink. Season.1.

Feel free to join the channel if you enjoy this somber tale of woe.

In an alternative universe of Equestria, we follow four friends as they become infamous heroes.

Though, it would be helpful if their version of Equestria wasn't limited in the magic department so that only the most powerful beings had true magic...

And again, this wouldn't be too much of a problem, but without a large supply of magic the barrier between worlds... well... weakens.

In the middle of the night, Rarity is awoken by a noise from downstairs.
But it's alright, because all she needs to do is quickly make sure everything's okay. Then she can go back to bed.
Then it'll be over.

Winner of the horror-themed 4^th Koren's Kontest for the My Little Story Contest writing group. Originally this was done in an hour and unedited. This version here has received some slight refinement. The prompt was 'Mirror'.

No matter what anyone else says, Sweetie Belle knows that whatever that is in the mirror isn't her. That doesn't mean she can do anything about it.

An entry to the sixteenth Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Competition. Conceived in ten minutes, written in sixty, and edited for ten. Prompt was "Mirror" and genre was limited to horror. Presented here as is.
