The Oldest and Strongest Emotion is Fear
-Lovecraft

The town is engulfed in fog. A pony sits in his cabin, fearful of what lurks outside. It wants inside, and it scratches at his door.

Interesting.

Not bad. A little short, but not bad.

I have another. What Lurks behind the door.

Chilling! Celestia dropped the ball on this one.

Poor Silver, I would have lit the house on fire then at the last minute...finished the job. A final "screw you" too the beast on my way out.

Great story dude!

That's so interesting! I thought he'd shoot it but nope! Twist!

Smart stallion.

Again, these are quite literally sorrow, insanity, regret, fear and depraved darkness in mental and physical form used to torture and wear the victim down after a extended length of time or beings made flesh by strange matter of the world and sent out to do a single task....depends on what Ilos wishes to claim in the minds of the victims at the time.

Most likely, in this story at least, it seems they found something that caused Ilos to go absolutely bat shit and just demanded a purge of all who laid eyes upon the relic and a possible return of the relic to his altar. the stallion was smart enough to do what needed to be done.

The fog slowly began to grow, hour by hour until it engulfed the entire town in a thick, white, hazy screen. Ponies couldn't see barely a hoof in front of them.

That's when the screaming began.

That's an incredibly simple and effective description of horror. I love it! :D

Silver turned, ready to go back and run to help his wife.

But any such thoughts faded when he heard her screaming. The sounds of ripping flesh, evident in the air.

That's brutal. It's extremely sad that so many of these events happen without the ponies actually seeing what is occurring. But that is a mark of true horror...keeping things from being revealed until the time is right.

Silver leapt back, as a thin, stick like appendage of a claw connected to a long, just as thin limb, planted itself on the window. It was covered in pink, blood covered skin that seemed stretched over the bones. The claw bent, and a head appeared inn sight of the window. Silver began to hyperventilate now, as he stared into a bloody, pink skinned face. It had long, paper thin slit like eyes, and no nose. Its mouth, was thin and had sharp teeth slipping out between where lips should be. It's ears were long and curved, almost bitten and chewed. The head had no neck, just connected to an oval shaped body. The creature, stared at him.

That is some damn nightmare fuel right there. Awesome description! I can imagine it very vividly.

Sad ending, but really good story! Well done and very tense! I love the description of that monster! It makes me want to write a monster right now :)

fav and upvote!

I normally don't read Dark stories but, This was great :moustache:

this should be made into a movie, but without the ponies

PT

Short, simple, with enough mix of horror and mystery to keep the reader going. You revealed enough to keep us wanting more, but the unknown, like the fog, permeated throughout the story, and like the body being dragged into the nothingness, the story wraps up nicely.

Very well done.

WELL I ABSOLUTELY NEEDED NIGHTMARE FUEL BEFORE BED.

7506877 yeah, don't want to get in trouble with Hasbro

who need's sleep anyway not me. :pinkiecrazy:

Well Done! Ive Seen A lot And I Mean ALOT Of Horror Stories But None Like This!

Watch The Mist by Stephen King. It's pretty similar.

This reminds me of something that happened in a Modded Rimworld game "A raider gang started a siege there was thick fog so they kept missing then the darkest darkness event happened the raiders had a fire in the centre of their camp kept some of them alive missing limbs or bleeding out. The shadows took the bodies into the darkness or dark? I don't remember" Ps my fucking cat sneezed when I was typing shadows.

Plz label: gore, self harm, violence

Gr8 story! At first I though he was gonna shoot the thing in the fog, but what u did was so much better!

Is this fricken Majin Buu. *reads ear text* Aw hell naw!

His body slumped, and the gun fell to the ground with a clatter. He lay there, his blood pooling on the floor.

*facepalm* Idiot! You could've used it to kill the creature, you know to avenge your family.

Being supernatural in origin, most likely that wouldn't have worked. Even if it hit it most likely it would've healed right off the bat.

9026575
But he’s a silver smith! He must have had a silver bullet somewhere.

9036608
Still no guarantee, especially since it wasn't of the moon variety.

9037114
Silver bullet kills any monster. That is my philosophy.

9037614
I get the feeling that's going to a be thing soon. :-/

9047405
Heh, wheat. I mean I think someone will make that a thing in scary stories here soon. Assuming anyone else comes across this story anytime soon.

9048305
Yeah, that would be cool. HAIL THE SILVER BULLET!:rainbowwild:

9049112
Or silver pellet, if you play Terraria.

9060193
Oh you should. It's hella tough but very rewarding and overall fun.

9074225
I actually had it at one point, got it for b-day, but I got it for ps4, and I don’t have a ps4, so I exchanged it.

It's pretty cheap on Steam.

9087085
I believe it's ten at most and five when it's on sale.

9087635
I won’t be able to get it for a while, though. I owe crazy people money. (Not really) but I do owe money.

9089839
I doubt it's going anywhere off of Steam so you got time bro.

Epic story bro

“It knew it was here.”

Was that a typo or does Silver have the idol? You know, being Silver Smith and all that? Because if he does, two solutions would’ve been to give the idol to the creature or even destroy it Evil Dead-style.

Whoa, this is literally just the Movie "The Mist" based on Stephen king's book "The Mist" it was so similar the only difference was the ending where soldiers didn't show up immediately after and save the entire day right after he committed suicide. That scene was honestly definitely one of my favorite scenes in cinema history. So I am pretty sad that you didn't go through but oh well we cant have everything that we want.
