The Nightmare Tree

by The Ancient Wyrm
The CMC and Featherweight go on an adventure to save a friend.

On the most favored and magical of nights, Nightmare Night, the CMC and Featherweight go trick-or-treating alone for the first time, only to find that the smallest member of the group has not arrived. Together, they go to find little Pipsqueak, but the situation soon turns dire as they are whisked away to another time with a dark and mysterious unicorn. Now the CMC and Feathers are on a wild goose chase after their dear friend, all while learning the origins of their favorite holiday.

*spoilers/confessions*

This story has been on my mind for quite a while now, and only now has it been started. The story is based upon the movie and book "Halloween Tree" by Ray Bradbury, who unfortunately passed away earlier this year. It is a ponified version of the story, and I can only hope it pays some homage to the mans work. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, do so. It is a wonderful Halloween classic.
