Nice story. Keeps the ending open to interpretation. You get a like and follow

Dun dun dun

Geez, I wish it was longer! Really liked it though.:twilightsmile:

Anypony who's played Minecraft knows that bone-meal is great for making plants healthy. :pinkiegasp:

It seems that the silo has good foundation... Made of diamonds... :ajsmug:

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Wonderfully creepy as hell at the end there. I love how it's all implication, no solid answers to be found.

I like the verity of your writing, good stuff.

Can you really blame Applebloom in the end? Hell everyone has thoughts of getting back at their school bully even one's that go that far.

This is a great story. I feel like the last few sentences really bring home the creepy vibe, tying it off very nicely.

Nice story, it has a creepy vibe, and the last paragraph was pushing the idea that apple bloom killed Diamond Tiara but it does not fully confirm it, She Might have not been crying because she didn't like her. Overall great story.

Every time someone records something like this, without fail, I am deeply flattered and at a bit of a loss for things to say. Really liked the production on this recording, and you have a great voice for the eerie and morbid.

Amazing. XD Did not see that coming.

...I note there's no mention of Applejack in this story. Is the even darker implication that her absence should be taken as motive?

It seems like Apple Bloom did it. Scootaloo thinking about how its easy burying a body on the farm, how's that not a *nudge nudge* to the reader.

I'm pretty torn. Don't mind if the story was ambiguous with no clear straight answers. But at the same time, I prefer stories where's the mystery was solved with the detective pointing at the suspect, "You did it!"

"Zecora, mainly," Apple Bloom said, upending the cart of apples into the silo. "Never did make that many potions that worked out so good, 'side from one or two, but it was still interestin' even if it didn't end up bein' my special talent. It was kinda fascinatin' to know you could mix together a bunch o' perfectly ordinary things and make somethin' that worked like magic, though."

Now I'm wondering if she did do it if it was intentional or was it a potion gone wrong

I reviewed this a long while back. A clever fic, and one where that genre tag looms larger and larger every time I think about it. Faved!
