From the anthology of brief continuations of other's stories ("Never the Final Word" by Horizon) comes this gem by GhostOfHeraclitus written in response to Bad Horse's "The Gathering"  https://www.fimfiction.net/story/329065/the-gathering  a wonderful short story in its own right. This story (which I think is pretty much a poem and a good one; I could not help but invoke the memory of TS Eliot while reading it) is called "Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen" and can be found here:  https://www.fimfiction.net/story/184594/30/never-the-final-word/ghostofheraclitus-carbon-hydrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-bad-horses-the-gathering
