Spoiler-bars to not ruin the plot:
Nice twist on a zombie fic. From the description I thought it would be more of a "At The End of Time" style thing, and the dust skeletons took me by surprise in a good way.
While nowadays I dive into post-apocalyptic stories thinking "yeah, here goes more of the same thing again," I must admit that this one was still an excellent read.
The way the text morphs toward the end feels a bit gimmicky (I discovered lately that you should not have to put "visuals" into the writing to make it interesting), and the "clarification" of Angel's fate feels unnecessary, but otherwise I could almost say that this work is flawless. Short, subtle, and pleasantly bleak...
That's pretty creepy. I expected angel to survive though. Good work.
I'll just be checking out your other stuff.
OH MY GOD THAT WAS REALLY GOOD AAAAH
Did not expect this ending at all...

Cool, Glad you liked it.

Yeah, I was almost certain that simply putting the word "wasteland" anywhere would immediately make people think of FoE.
Also, the formatting was (slightly) even more all over the place in the original word document. I reduced the amount of bulls**tery when I brought this here, but I still wanted to have a way to show that it wasn't a huge stuttering ball of repeated half-sentences, as it would have probably looked without all this.
It wasn't so much about making it more interesting but rather about avoiding confusion on what was there already.

You stopped existing for a while after commenting, that was worrying. And then you came back with a new name.
But yeah, 'Tragedy' for a reason, I guess. Thanks for the compliment.
3406166
Well, be my guest, buddy! (Or other acceptable expression of camaraderie.)

Woohoo, thanks!

I could devote my life to finding out but still probably end up utterly baffled. It's certainly not intentional on my part.
Huh, that was darker than expected.
When you presented the Everfree, I kinda was expecting Angel to at least reach it. But nope, poor guy got it even worse than that, just barely tasting some success before his failure.
I liked the double-visuals towards the end, they added more "strength" to what was going on.
Also, that imagery with 'dustified' Fluttershy, and him seeing her in the town, that was creepy, and sad, especially when she was mistakenly awoken by him beeing sad. Again, poor Angel.
Have a like and fav!

[I spoiler-marked some, just because even skimming the comments gave a pretty good picture of what was going to happen, heh, that was a bad idea to do before reading, my bad
]

Yusss. A comment from Matdat makes me a happy pony.
Darker? What do you mean, darker? It was as bright as day, even in the middle of the night!
Hehe, it seems I have a thing for unusual protagonists and completely unexplained bad things. And Killing Fluttershy
I really tried to play the tragedy to its fullest; his fate was directly caused by the fact that he still cared too much about her. He wouldn't have been there in the first place if it weren't for her, and he was detected specifically because of his feelings for her.
The classical tragedy where the hero fails specifically because of the misguided good in his heart.
But at least now they're together again...
3407438 Sorry I needed a new name and face for undisclosed reasons. But anyway I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants a prequel to this.
3408627
Heh, what did I do?
Also, I blame the late hour or something, because I laughed more that I should have at that comment-opening.
Yup, you did use the tragedy-tag efficiently. In a sense, this could be called bittersweet, I mean, he does indeed get back with Her, so by extent, his wish does get fullfilled. But, that's kind of dragging it far, it's a good tragedy story, with a kinda-very-slightly-maybe-a-little-good-for-one-poor-bunny-ending.
I kept trying, even just for fun, to link this to The Signal somehow, because of the kind of related theme. The thought that this could be a dark(-er?) alternate ending to The Signal crossed my mind, but, um, well, somehow mystical magical signals that possess unicorns didn't translate good into magical glowing dust that turns ponies into skeletons. So I dropped those ideas pretty quickly.
Oh well, time for sleep, I shouldn't be leaving rambly tired comments when I'm supposed to be asleep!
Edit:
[ And Killing Fluttershy ]
Wait a sec...
Nah, I'll overthink this another time.
welp.
that was sad.
This was a nice twist on the zombie stories; you continue to amaze me, good sir.
Cry.
Go on, cry.
I'll be crying with you
maybe if I still liked animals this would have affected me, but as it is, I really don't anymore. I find them to be annoying, more than anything, And this was about Angel, who was already a terrible pet to Fluttershy.
