Author Note: Thorn of the Earth is getting cancelled, however this is merely because at some point in the future I plan on rebooting it as I have grown in my writing talent and I believe a reboot would be better for it.
One day a large object falls from the sky and crashes into Ponyville. While the town still remains a large portion of it has been destroyed by the alien object. This story consists of documents, records, and verbal accounts surrounding this event, taking place before and after the impact.
The story is much like a "found footage" story. It was also slightly inspired by a few videos I have seen such as Earth to Echo (except without the cute little robot/alien thing) and District 9 (except without the foul language, brutality, and prawns).
Also I made the image using GIMP.
Note: The story takes place after the events of the Season 4 finale.

5120698 Hey thanks for pointing that out.
So aside from that how do you enjoy the story so far?
good start, know a little about impacts, waiting to see what happens
This is not a normal story, but I like. You could add a bit to it though. You should make the ponies not want to enter because of fear, but they open it and it would be like that one part in district 9, but your choice. I liked district 9 (Could have been better) and you should have more things like it in it in my opinion.
5222751 To be honest there were a few things about District 9 is didn't like but it was an okay movie.
The Thorn isn't going to be opened or at least not right away. Trying to add more suspense.
Thanks for your feedback though.
5224950 Well, I would like it if you put things in from other things. Maybe you could put in alien (Or something like a xenomorph) to mix things up a little.
Some places need paragraph spacing, but it's not as bad as the other story.
5271024 I thought I had spaced the paragraphs pretty well but I guess not. I will have to take a look at that.
5271329 Good luck!
Good chapter. This is a good story.
Evolution reference I see. I liked that movie.
5293670 I honestly don't know which movie you are talking about.
5294215 Really? Worms that cannot stay alive out of this gas and blue apes. That seems like evolution to me. If you have never seen evolution then you should.
5294249 I really did think I was being original.
Oh well.
Maybe I will see it some time. Personally I don't agree with all the concepts of Evolution (Macro Evolution that is) but I will try to take a look into it.
5294337 It isn't real evolution anyway. Basically a meteor crashes and it bleeds blue blood and that is micro organisms and they evolve very quickly and become almost every shape and size possible. It's good but I find it painful with accuracy mistakes.
I hope this story gets off hiatus soon.
6753453 Unlike the previous story The Mirror Stone Wasteland I am sure this one is more likely to return in the future.
6754062 Huzzah! Praise be you, Robiopony!
I'm assuming the gas is a poison that kills slowly...am I right? I'm wrong aren't I?
7731121 If I remember currectly it was supposed to aid in terraforming the planet. But yes its poisonous.
7731808 ha....and they think it's not toxic....fools
I’m really liking the lovecraftian feel if this fic. Are you still planning on remaking it?
