Thanks for entering! I look forward to reading it.

This was very bleak but very enjoyable, and a great addition to the contest.

I'd give you a hug for this, but, well, you know...

What do you mean by that?

This is... Kinda hard to pick the horror inside of.

The horror of an unknown disease or pestilence?
Horror of not know an absolute solution?
Horror of closeness?
What's the general theme here if I can ask?

I don't particularly see this as a scary story, but it is dripping with dread and unease. And I mean that in the best possible way.
While the physical descriptions of the effects of this mystery are amazingly grotesque, there is always a strong sense of sadness that carries through it rather than body horror. This is horrific in the same way that the ending of The Mist is horrific, it's not really a horror, but it makes for an amazing tragedy.
Amazing work.

When i see lots of the same people with deleted comments, I wonder- what argument did I miss, and how stupid was it?

What the fuck o.o

That ending was terrifying!

Damn......damn. I don't remember the last time a tragedy hit me so truly with this sense of...I don't know, weight. The weight of responsibility. The weight of failure. The weight of all these lives, beloved and unknown alike. The weight of a world, as it slowly crushes you until there's nothing left.

Truly outstanding.

Sooo... What was it? What broke Twilight to make her murder whole country?

Very well written. You definitely captured the level of despair required to drive somepony to such extremes.
