Quick little horror story inspired by the wonderful work of Joe Lansdale. I hope you enjoy it. This one pulls no punches. It is what it is, a horror story.

And everyone just knew it would be Scootaloo.

Oh, you know us so well. :rainbowlaugh:

Lol. Thanks. it's been a while since I updated anything, so there are two stories coming out today. Check out Winona. once it gets approved, of course. Thanks for reading, i appreciate your time.

Ha, very nice. :pinkiecrazy:

Well ... that happened

2521271 Hey, I know the story that this is based off!

Incedably fucked up and original...
I like it!

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD :flutterrage::flutterrage:

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!:yay:

The ending sorta remind me of this picture.

Short, but sweet. You can discern this type of dark from shock-value dark because you can see that the language used is polished and the narrative doesn't focus on the sacrifice's pain. Instead, this is a dark-because-dark story. Not a dark-just-because, mind you. The story is self explanatory and its intent is just to be a shortie. Something simple for a small, quick but nonetheless satisfying read.

Just one small thing:

A shiver tore the group and the moon above became shrouded, as if the words themselves had drawn a velvet curtain across the night sky, leaving the group in a darkness like that of a jellyfish releasing its ink into the salty bowels of the sea.

OCTOPUS! :raritycry:

2521738 Lol. I just got tired of the "I knew it was Scootaloo! Everyone hates Scootaloo" comments. Lol. Thought I'd change it up. Thanks for reading again. I appreciate your continued patronage.

2521793 You write of your own accord. i was just happy to help you get the ball rolling.

2521963 "On a Dark October". Glad you enjoy Lansdale as well. You been okay, sir?

2522116 Blackintosh! Thanks for reading. Good to see you again.

2523086 I almost used that one but I didn't want to go through the channels of asking for pemission, etc.

2523113 FUCK! How could I mess up that badly? Damn it. I tried to make it quick and good.

2523829 So do you have any idea who drew it? I can't seem to find the artist for it.

jmj

2523840 Dalapony I think.

2523829 Yeah, relatively.

2523086 That picture is more terrifying than anything JMJ will EVER produce.

2525808 Actually that is rather tame compared to most of the grimdarks on derpibooru.

2523854 Also thanks for the source!!! google image search was failing me in this one.

Thanks to you I also manage to find this gem also!

OMG!!! I did not see that one coming! The Apple Family conducting a "filly sacrifice" and that unfortunate filly is Sweetie Belle no less? And I agree with your postscript that one would think that Scootaloo would have ended up in that situation, or perhaps even Diamond Tiara (seeing how much of a witch she is with everyone)!

This was a very dark fic that made me feel really bad for Sweetie Belle, not to mention Rarity (even though she's not in this story, she surely wouldn't take the news of what happened to her sister very well)!:raritycry::unsuresweetie:

I guess you don't like the term trollfic, but that's what this reminds me of. The good old days, "Here's some horses you like. Don't you like them? Well, fuck 'em. Fuck 'em to Hell."
Short, sweet and cuts straight to the point.

jmj

2922578 I like your description, but no. Trollfics are designed to make people angry. To tease them for being who they are or for being stupid. This does neither. This is just a horror story with ponies.

darkness like that of a jellyfish releasing its ink

You still have jellyfish there. You can go back and edit your stories, in case you don't know.

Anyway, good story. Not bad. I do enjoy stories in which Squeakie Sweetie Belle dies.

jmj

2982638 Lol. I know, I've just been busy and never have time. That being said, I am going right now so I don't have to see another comment about jellyfish ink. It really needs to be fixed. Hope you enjoyed the story anyway. It looks like you are reading my shorter stuff. They are pretty good but lack a lot of developments. They do what they do and that's about it. Not that they are bad, but CMC: FND is probably my favorite. Thanks.

2982693 Personally, I seem to enjoy stories without much back story. They allow the reader, in this case myself, to make up their own reasons as to why everything is happening. I like that, although that may just be me.
I just found you yesterday and I find myself wishing I didn't take so long. It is hard to find good dark stories here and, although it takes a lot to scare me, what I have read of your work has chilled me. Rest assured that I will be reading more of your stories, both past and future. I was just reading the shorter stuff last night because I needed to go to sleep and lacked the ability to carry and actual plot in my head for very long. But now that I am awake, I will read some longer ones. As soon as I have time. :twilightblush:

Well that was pretty terrible but its right around Halloween so it fit the bill

2922578 Ummm...what the hell is that thing where your avatar should be?!

Reminds me of that one piece of art that shows the Apple Family messily devouring a bunch of meat. :B Author's note made me lol.

yeah sorry for posting that,but what if this is how they make their apples so juicy,hmm?

When going for a good harvest, you either go to the cannibal fertility god, or the wicker pony.
