Something a little different, and a Deviant Art exclusive, you lucky devils!

I am currently sitting in on a fiction writing class, for fun, at the local university and this was the first of 3 stories I'm gonna be writing for it. It was in its final form, so I figured why the heck not?

Decidedly non-pony, though bonus points if you can name what inspired it. Also... There may be something with a similar theme coming up if WNMD ever reaches its finale.

The violence is minimal, but there's just enough squik factor to warrant it. If you got through Newsworthy and Deception on the Darkest Night, you can get through this.
