I don't know about that, sir. But I appreciate the excitement.
Also, let me make the first comment of "Sugar Cube Corner... here comes another Cupcakes clone".
I have plenty of those already and my love for Pinkamena cannot be shattered. This, however, is not her story.
Hoo...lee.... shit.
Well.
That was fucking depressing. Not to mention horrifying.
I loved it.

Thanks. I tried very hard to write a fun little horror story. Im very happy you read it. Thank you for the comment as well.
Brings me right back to my grimdark phase when I first joined the fandom.

Lol. I never left. I've always loved short horror. It's my favorite genre. I doubt I will ever leave it on anything more than a sortie here or there.
Awn... I really thought it would have a happy ending after all.
(I thought the gore tag and body horror mention would only result in a trip to the hospital. Boy, was I wrong.)
Great story though, good work.

Thank you very much for reading. The ending is open to what happened afterward but I would imagine it's not happy. Thank you for the comment.
Well, that was brutal.
Something tells me Mrs Cake hasn't got long left to live.

You are most likely correct. Thank you for reading and commenting.

No problem. I can really empathise with Mrs Cake in this story; I also have trouble keeping my weight under control, and certainly understood how she was feeling.
Like other users here, I did not see the conclusion coming, but fear makes a pony desparate, and a desparate pony is completely unpredictable-though mutilation to that level is a rather extreme step.
This story catches the true horror of not being able to be proud of one’s body. The lies told to oneself, seeing only what the hate wants to see. It’s like how ghosts are in the 6th sense, only aware of what they are obsessed with.
As for “just” cutting the flesh off… even “basic” procedures such as liposuction and skin tucks and whatnot cause massive tissue damage and bleeding and require extended periods of recovery. That’s if it’s done in a sterile environment and with proper fluid drains installed under the skin. Mrs Cake might survive what she’d done to herself, if the paramedics get their fast enough.
Very Cronenberg at the end there. I recall a scene in Night Breed where a guy cuts all the skin off of his head. (Yeah, I know it’s a Clive Barker film, but it has Cronenberg IN it!) Very well done story.

I am SO happy you liked this one. It's probably my second favorite story and i don't think people give it the love it deserves. If there was one story I could pick to get a reading it would be this one. I wanted body horror. I wanted a grisly scene at the end. And I wanted it all to be a result of Mrs. Cake's inability to love herself. The harlot and mr. Cake was just icing and diversion to mislead the reader towards thinking it was going to be a double homicide instead of what it really was.
I was very proud of this story. Thank you so much for reading my stories and commenting.

It definitely deserves a reading.
Ahh that hit pretty close to home.
This is a great story, it was really well-written with the right amount of emotional nuance and all the descriptions were on point. I really felt for Mrs Cake in this.
Damn. This story is too relatable, minus the mutilation obviously :). Dieting is hard, but if you aren't careful, the dieting could turn into anorexia, and that pathway sucks ass.

Very real, very hard familiar horror for some people. Myself included.
The most delightfully crushing thing in this story is Mrs. Cake's horribly abusive inner voice. Also, having Carrot walk into a dark room versus a well lit horror show was a great choice.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked the story. Shows very real, very hard self degradation and the lengths one will go to keep what they have.
Oh.... mrs Cake. I understand how she feels, the poor dear.

Thank you for reading and commenting.
Poor Mrs. Cake.
So this story is sort of brought on by something irl. I had this little gap between my front teeth that I hated and thought looked terrible. I had it filled in by a dentist and nobody noticed. So the anxiety I had over the gap was completely self observed. I thought that might make for a lovely horror story. The things we think are ugly, only you notice.
