The Lightpostman
Prologue
By Drop It
“Tell me a scary story, Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo chimed, sitting by the warmth of the campfire they had set up. “Alright, kid.” Rainbow Dash replied. “Just don't get too scared.” She continued.
Once upon a time, there were two fillies at a summer camp. The summer camp only lasted a week. It was the end of that week. Where all of the campers went up onto a sloped hill and sat around a campfire, sang songs, and had a jolly good time.
Anyway, the two fillies sat at the campfire. Then one had to go to the bathroom. There were no bathrooms on the hill, the only bathrooms were down at the campus. Which was completely deserted at the time of the campfire.
They walked down the hill and entered the campus area. They were walking into their cabin, by that cabin – about 30 or so feet away – was a lightpost. After walking into the cabin and being sure that the door was locked, for fear of the stories they've heard and their nightmare-ish characters.
The filly that had to go to the bathroom entered the bathrooms while the other one stayed in the main room. There was a window in the main room that gave a clear sight of the lightpost.
The filly in the main room looked around the room nervously, her eyes bouncing all over. When she rested her eyes on the lightpost outside the window she squeaked in fear. There was a tall pony with a cloak on right under the lightpost. There was no other traits. She could only see it's silhouette under the light. A hood covered it's face as well as it's head. She covered her eyes and squealed more. When she opened them the silhouette had gone.
“Why is the little filly afraid?” A raspy voice sounded from behind her. She squealed and jumped forward doing a 180 spin to see who it was behind her.
“Why do you run?” The voice sounded again behind her. This time sounding closer.
“I only want to talk.” The voice sounded behind her. Being what seemed the closest it could get.
“Greetings, victim.” The voice whispered. This time into her ear.
She whipped around to face whatever it was. What she saw frightened her so much she couldn't even scream. The hooded thing was there, not a foot away from her. His eyes glowed red through the shadow of his hood. She saw his pale, white skin. And she saw his evil smile across his face. She screamed so loud that it echoed through the whole forest. She was never found after that.
It is told that you can still here her screams echoing in that area during the night. And that The Lightpostman still stalks that very forest. Looking for his next victim.
“Th-th-that's it?” Scootaloo stuttered while clinging on to Rainbow Dash.
“Yep, time for bed. You resisted fear better than the others I've told that story to.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Th-th-thanks.” Scootaloo stuttered while getting into her sleeping bag.
I hope to God that he's not real. Scootaloo thought to herself as she fell asleep.
