Rotting Away
A terrible magic plague spreads over Equestria, causing the dead to rise again as horrible abominations. Celestia is missing and terror is spreading, but Twilight, with the help of her friends, holds the remaining ponies together in defense against the oncoming horde.
But, as Equestrian life falls apart, it's morals devolve into a cruel struggle to survive. Hooves are stained with blood as violence spreads over the land. Madness rips the weak-willed to shreds and depression causes more than one casualty itself.
How can Equestria survive this hell?
