After a day of Crusading, Scootaloo has to leave the farm, alone, as she tries to go home. Sadly, she is all too aware of what waits in the shadows. What waits for her specifically. Without her friends by her side, and the sun setting behind the trees, she must face what awaits her every time she's alone. What refuses to leave her be.

A strange idea that came to me out of nowhere and I decided I just had to write it out. Critique, thoughts and the like heavily appreciated!
Not too sure about the tags to use, but I suppose this is 'horror' enough to warrant the tag.

interesting story but im not sure i understand it.
I really like the idea and how it's written. What is the thing tormenting Scootaloo? Is it like a manifestation of her insecurities or something feeding off of them, like the thing that turned Luna into Nightmare Moon? I really wish that there was more to the story, any chance of a sequel?

I'm glad this was seen as interesting at least! As for a sequel, while I won't rule it out completely, it's not all that likely. This was written from a spark of motivation that I decided to ride all the way down, as most of my ideas are what I like to call "Way Too Long" projects, so it felt nice to do a one shot.
There is possibility for a continuation, I suppose, so if inspiration strikes I won't say no to it. Although, the ambiguity is a major part of it, both for Scootaloo and the reader, so any kind of continuation would be a tad more difficult when it comes to handling it. Double down on the ambiguity? Set something into stone?
Only time will tell, if inspiration strikes.
