Fan Fiction Reviews: The Cough.

Type of fanfic: My little pony, dark, horror, epidemic, gory, short.

Story: Equestria is suffering from an epidemic. Nearly everypony is either dead or become zombie like. Twilight and her friends have boarded themselves inside a house and are trying to wait until the epidemic is over. That is until somepony coughed. Realising that one of them has the illness, they start to quickly turn on each other. That is until Fluttershy admits to be the one who coughed. And in order to save everypony present, Rainbow Dash is instructed to kill her. Which she sadly does so. With one of their friends now dead, the remaining five try and continue with their survival. Only to hear another cough...

My thoughts: This is the very first MLP fan fiction that I have read (apart from the infamous Cupcakes but this one I've read all the way through). It is set in one dark room with the only light being generated by Twilight's magic. The fact that what ever the illness is turns ponies into zombies isn't said in the story but you get the feeling that that is what is going on outside. The ending is one of those endings that is great and that it makes you think. Did Fluttershy develop the illness and had passed it on to somepony else? Or was she lying to protect one of their friends?... This fanfic has a sequel and a prequel. Both of which I recommend checking out.

My score: Four stars.
