No life, wind, or light. A total lack of sense of time. When a pony wakes up in the metal belly of a spaceship, only the sounds of cogs, wheels, and pumps accompany him. Lost in this sarcophagus of steel, all he wishes for are the reasons for his punishment.

Generally not a fan of horror, but I enjoyed reading this for a third time. Excellent visceral descriptions. A little late for Halloween, but a nice piece nonetheless.

Thank you for yet another kind comment! And for helping work out this speedwriting entry.
Will there be a sequel?

Well... it's a loop.
But if you liked the atmosphere of the piece, I'd definitely recommend you give a look at the manga Blame!.
loved this! i don't come across many creepasta/horror fics on here, but i'm certainly glad when i do! a lot of description for my autistic brain, but voicing it out loud helped
Hoooooh this is a goodie, and you're a delight for writing it.

This is incredibly bleak and unsettling
Your skill with imagery here is top notch, and everything comes together to render a palpable atmosphere of misery. The way you describe the filth on the spaceship is particularly visceral
Really well done mate this is exceptional
Oh wow, I've totally fallen for the imagery here. Bleak, unsettling but completely gripping. Amazing work. Thanks for writing and sharing!

Amazing work with the atmosphere here. It is so bleak and oppressing throughout, and yet you managed to keep the story very much compelling.
