Oh, the chills. This was short, but exhilarating. Thank you for a most unpleasant, yet soul-touching, ride.

Also, Scootaloo does make it out, right? You arenʼt just teasing us, are you?

Up to readers' interpretation.
:scootangel:

Oh, you devil Rose you.

Well, I like to remain hopeful.

Yeah, There's no way I'm gonna assume Scoots is dead. :fluttershysad: Well, anyways, nice little story.

Great stuff! I'm glad I was able to help with this.

Personally, I loved the part with the cardboard box.

oh my—
wow. what else is there to say?

This was a fantastic, dark story, with a good ending.

Good kitty. Have a treat.

honestly, it should've been a wooden crate or something harder to get out of. Little kids can tear out of a cardboard box, and if a cat can open it, surely Scoots can. Its not designed to keep living things in.

But besides that, I think this was well written.

I think the point is that she ate something that has her completely unable to move her body at that point, and she didn’t realize it until she was too weak to actually get out of the box. Also, industrial cardboard boxes that fabrics and such are shipped in (which I assume is what she’s in since this takes place at Rarity’s) tend to be a lot sturdier than your standard moving box. They get to the point where they’re incredibly difficult to tear even for adults with an existing tear/cut to work from. (Also hooves and filly that is barely bigger than Rarity’s cat.)

This reminds me of "the biding of Isaac" lore, with the closed box and lacking oxygen part sounding like an inspiration or something related.

Tell me I’m not the only one who rushed through this to see if it had a happy ending

Ah yes, the blinding white light. Can mean a lot of things, death is among those things.

The ending doesn’t leave us with much, Scoots was either saved by Rarity or died.

The writing is excellent, but I’m getting rather tired of these "life flashes before their eyes" type of stuff and these "up to the readers" endings.

This gets an OKAY!

The cover art is awesome.

Simple, short, to the point. Very nice.

this is really well done, me and my friend enjoyed reading this over a discord call,

but....

when the tensions where at its peak...... meow.

i really sorry but that broke both of us for the rest of the story, we couldn't stop laughing.

we both loved the story and hope you make more like this.

This was a nice tense story.
