It hungers for your light.
In the furthest reaches of Equestria, hidden beyond the veil of twilight, lies a sinister realm uncharted by ponies' hooves. A haunting silence shrouds the cursed woods, where ancient trees stretch their skeletal limbs toward a blood-red moon.
Whispers of dread float through the air, a symphony of fear forlorn. Eyes unseen peer from shadowy branches, and malevolent giggles echo. Shivering roots crawl upon the forest floor like icy fingers...
...Ensnaring any foolish wanderers.
Deep within the heart of this accursed thicket, a vile secret awaited. A decrepit well, tainted with malevolence, stood, beckoning the unwary. Its waters whispered promises of power - forbidden knowledge.
Your light.
One fateful night, a curious foal ventured near, drawn by a sinister allure. She gazed into the well's depths, and the darkness gazed back, claiming her soul. Her once-rosy coat turned ashen, and malevolence seeped from her hollow eyes.
A warning to those who dare venture close, the corrupted foal now roams the cursed woods. They say if you hear her mournful wail, turn and flee, for she seeks to devour the brave.
Beware the heart of darkness. It hungers not for anyone.
It hungers for your light.
sorry to say pinkie, but this is not it
This is definitely one of the stories ever made, sorry pinkie.
Hm. The image at the end didn't show up. Also, this one is good at building up an ominous atmosphere, but it doesn't really accomplish anything. There is no real pounce or tangible payoff. If you're in need of some good examples of horror, I have a shelf of stories that I recommend to people, and here it is searched with the filter off and the horror tag. I'd really suggest reading more to strengthen your grasp on this genre. My personal picks would be:

"Put your boots on," Adams said. "There's a biblical monster in my house."I'd also suggest searching the dark tag too, since not all horror stories on this site are tagged horror. Both horror and dark stories are very versatile and have a lot of directions you can take them in. It's important to know how to use them properly.
