Gods? Demons? What are we but specks being tossed about in the turmoil of an eternal playground of celestial beings?

Applejack has absolutely no idea, but you know what would be great on her day off? Baking a pie.

Sometimes there are things in this world that scare us. But that's ok. Such things are normal.

It's ok to be scared from time to time, and even fun occasionally. You just have to remember to giggle at the ghosties, guffaw at the grossly, crack up at the creepy, etc. etc. Because none of it can really hurt you if you just keep perspective.

But sometimes, we come across certain things that we can't just laugh away. Sometimes a simple giggle isn't enough.

Because sometimes, the ghosties are real.

This is my entry for the 2012 Nightmare Night fic-writing event. It was written in a single day with basically no planning beforehand. Let it be known: I am not overly proud of this story. It was just a fun little experiment to write something outside my comfort zone and boy howdy was it ever that. Anyways, this is not meant to be taken seriously so just dive straight in and prepare to be... what's the word... scared? I dunno, maybe. Prepare to be something, in any case.
