Man, that cover art is creepy... Is that what inspired this story?

No, I just came up with the story off the top of my head after thinking up ideas for a story involving Rarity. When I was making this I knew I wanted to do a Rarity centric story but I didn't know what to write. Then I thought about how much I like horror and an idea for a horror story I had a while ago, also thought that there weren't enough Rarity horror stories out there. So yeah, now the cover image was just a happy accident as when I tried to find an image for the cover I dug real deep and found this one. It just matched so perfectly I couldn't believe it and just used it. Massive props to the OG artist, this image is great!
