So, I read it on RG's recommendation (better watch out, we're gonna start liking each other again), and, God, yes, that is actually a pretty decent little horror story.
I mean, I guess you kind of have to be the one guy who in the theater desperately trying not to sound too creepy laughing at the final moments of Cabin in the Woods (I'm sorry, but that stuff is supposed to be funny; I was the only one who got the joke!), but that is some straight up good grue, there. I have seriously been hoping for, like, a week now for an opportunity to say "These jokes are getting bladder!" in conversation, but alas, that is a hard phrase to get out there. The completely innocuous setting just brings it home ("all the ponies in Ponyville were happy" is the new "it was a dark and stormy night"); I love how the story goes out of its way to explain this is not happening because of anything anyone did, good, bad, indifferent, whatever, but because a NUMBER WAS UP, and when your NUMBER IS UP, well, your NUMBER IS UP.
Pinkie Pie is the second best pony.
