There once was a boy named Chatter who loved to meet new kids and play games.  But on September 16, 1988 he got more than he could have ever imagined. It was a normal day and Chatter was sitting on the front steps of his porch. He had seen a colt and two fillies walk by, so Chatter asked them if they wanted to play, and their reaction was naturally yes. Gale, the other boy, said that they should play follow the leader. Luckily, this was Chatter's favorite game. He stepped off his porch and followed the colt, doing several things to mimic his moves, but after a while of playing Chatter noticed that Gale was taking him and the fillies into a forest. Chatter got worried and asked the fillies where they going, they just responded "Follow the leader." After a couple of minutes in the forest Chatter seemed to notice something moving, like the branches on the trees, yet he just ignored it and kept playing.

About ten minutes later Chatter saw the same weird branch movement on several different trees and he was really getting worried. He decided to ask Gale where they were going and he just said "Follow the leader." What does that mean? He assumed Ricky was the leader, but who was really doing the leading? About five minutes later Chatter saw the branches again but this time they looked almost like...a stallion. A stallion wearing a suit. He had weird tangled arms and was super tall. Chatter was frightened by this thought, but he assumed it was just his imagination. They finally made it out of the woods and into a playground that was inhabited by other children. Chatter was relieved and ran over to the slide, he noticed that the other children were walking over to one big oak tree and sitting under it. Chatter didn't mind this at all, he continued to play.

After ten minutes of playing he saw the kids still sitting there, but Chatter had noticed a bare tree seemed to appear in the shadow of the massive oak. Chatter played for another couple of minutes and he saw the tree move towards the kids, he just thought the heat was getting to him. A park employee with a Polaroid camera told Chatter to smile when he was at the top of the slide and as he did the employee snapped the picture and waited for the Polaroid to develop. The employee stamped it with the city's seal and gave it to the boy. Chatter looked at the picture and chills rushed through his whole body.

           He saw the kids sitting next to the tree and the same stallion standing in front of them as he seen in the woods. Chatter turned around to see the kids and the smaller tree missing. He backed up, tripping over a fallen branch. He remembered that there was no tree by the slide. Chatter looked up to see a blank face staring back down at him. He wanted to scream but nothing came out. He tried to run but the stallion's branch-like hoof was grasping his hoof.  There was no escape...

Afterwards his mother came to the park to find her son missing, in his place was this photograph.  

What was most disturbing about the photograph was the fact that the things in the picture weren't ponies.  They were instead horrendous creatures walking on two legs.  The two appendages that were attached to their assumed abdomens had five tiny hoof like appendages on each of them.  And worst of all, there was a taller creature in the background, looking at the creature that looked suspiciously like Chatter.
