Interesting - I don't know how I missed this, but I'm glad you sent it my way. I don't know if it's entirely 'creepy' but it certainly counts as a blow to the psyche. On the one hand, Dr. Seuss was always a little creepy (and actually inspired a story I have yet to write) but this... This is pretty clever, even if there are some parts where I swear Jack Nicholson oughta run in - don't worry, I'll lobotomize him before he vandalizes the story proper.

Though I don't believe we are all destined to do great things and am somewhat bitter about the world in general, the creepy in this pasta comes from the fact that it's premise is ripped out from under it, setting up an ending that would be genuinely disturbing on it's own, and goes from black humor back to horror in a heartbeat. The writing is solid, and the narrator a good mix of optimistic and fearful. Not strong enough to rebel without others, but not so terrified as to simply forget the rabble-rouse who met such a cruel fate...

Mignonette. To health.
