Good evening, Hollow Shades.
It’s that time of year again! Nightmare Night looms just over the horizon. Or at least, it would, if we could see the sky beyond the thick cover of forest that blankets our small village in seemingly endless darkness. It would be nice to know what a horizon looks like someday, wouldn’t it?
To help you all prepare for the festivities ahead, we have some helpful tips and special announcements to make this a safe and enjoyable celebration for all.
Last year, Princess Luna graced our neighbors who live just beyond the forest in Ponyville with a royal visit. We can now confirm with total certainty that Nightmare Moon has been defeated and will not, as many once believed, eat young foals on Nightmare Night.
Unfortunately, this means we do not know what it was that ate those children last year. Please, if any citizens know any information about this mysterious phantom, do not contact Hollow Shades authorities. Do not speak its name aloud at all. It could hear you.
There are several additions to the list of forbidden costumes this year. They are as follows: scarecrows, dentists, any insect with more than six legs, and pop music icon Sapphire Shores. A complete list can be found crudely carved into the ancient oaken doors of Town Hall. Hollow Shades City Council urges parents to not, under any circumstances, allow their foals to dress as these things, or else the consequences could be disastrous.
As many of you have heard, last week the lone survivor of last Nightmare Night’s horrific apple-bobbing incident, little Azure Comet, reappeared in the town square late at night, wandering in a daze with no memory of what happened to the others. We are pleased to report that he is completely unharmed.
Though Azure Comet was a unicorn on the night of his disappearance, nearly one year ago, he seems to have become a pegasus now. Also, the pupils of his eyes are now milky white, he never blinks, and every so often he enters an unbreakable trance and utters vague and terrible prophecies in a rasping voice two octaves lower than his own. But, other than those few things, he is completely unharmed.
The Hollow Shades train station will be closed one week before Nightmare Night, and will not reopen until one week after the celebration has ended. During this period, absolutely nopony is permitted to leave or enter the town. Remember the faces of your neighbors. Remember what they look like.
Remember them.
We hope everypony here in Hollow Shades has a safe and happy Nightmare Night. Remember, this holiday is merely a minor trial as we prepare for the true horrors that await us on Hearts and Hooves Day.
Good night, Hollow Shades. And, if I don’t see you next month…
Goodbye.
