whinnies of terror

Morning came, and trixie and carrot top were gone.

“went out for food.” octavia explained. “didint come back. Its been 8 hours; they left righ after you fell asleep.”

Twilight shivered. Not from the cold.

Snips and snails were in the back of the house, rummaging around. Probably for food.

Octavia was sitting on a rock, looking at her hooves.

“Is there any water?” twilight asked. Her throat was burning from all the dust in the destroyed house.

“well, there was but we ran out. Theres a pond right next to the house, though. You can go there, I think that the monster is gone. I hear nothing.”

Nodding, Twilight stepped outside. The sun was shining, it looked like a beautifull day. Despite the bodies of dead, rotting ponie corpses everywhere. The hot sun made the smell even worse.

Wondering briefly how the sun can even be up with the goddes down, she gave up and made for the pond. Beside it was trixie and carrot top. Dead. Trixie was torn in half. Her guts seeped out from her body, piling onto the sidewalk to create a bloody pile. Carrot top's body looked fine. A couple a scratches on her yellow coat. Her head, though, was nowere to be seen. All that was there was was her neck, a gaping hole in it, bloody and fly-filled.

Emptying her last nights dinner on the sidewalk, she decided she wasnt thirsty. The pond had turned a sickening red. She made for the house.

Inside, Snips and sanils somehow managed to find food. Bless their souls, they immidiately ran up to octavia and gave it to her. Octaia lookes at the food. A cob of corn and six carrots. She devided it evenly between all of us, giving snips nad snails each an extra kernel of corn.

As they ate, screams came louder and the ground began to shake.

The nothing was back.

We all ran outside, because the house would instantly crush us if it was stepped upon. I thanked otavia and parted with ehr for the last time, jst as she was lifter into the air. Her intestines scattered everywhere. Snips and snails ran off.

I ran, too.
