Sally lay in her bed, curling and uncurling her toes, her hands clenched around the sheets that were pulled up to her nose. This year was the year. The year that Sally would finally see him. The Easter Bunny.
She pinched her cheeks routinely, staring up at the ceiling with high hopes. Her childish excitement could barely be contained and she would occasionally giggle to herself.
It was 3 in the morning. Her eyes were heavy. She couldn't- Wait- what was that? There it was again. It was a heavy thump. Her parents didn't walk like that. And her baby brother? Well, he couldn't walk period.
Another thump. Sally carefully pushed back her thick princess blankets and dangled her feet above the floor.
A gasp, a choked back cry, and a strangled sigh. She slid off of her bed and made the long trek to her door and peeked through. Nothingness. Just the lone light coming from the nightlight plugged into the wall. Her palms were getting clammy and she rubbed them on her shirt.
Easter bunny. Think of the Easter bunny. Her slippered feet shuffled across the wooden floors to her parent's room and she twisted the metal knob. The door swung open on its own accord and Sally held her breath.
A hunched over... rabbit thing... stood next to the king sized bed. It turned its furry head over to look in Sally's general direction. It was shaking, and tufts of fuzz were missing, showing ugly gray bald spots. Its pupils were dilated. Its small, bulgy eyes blood shot. Blood dripped down its chin and its clawed hands reached up to clutch its chest. Sally stood, staring as it stretched out its hand to her, two tin-foil wrapped chocolate eggs sitting in the palm of its hand.
"Easter bunny?"

SCARY! very well written, good detail but... WHat??? i guess you could say that i am a little confused as to what happend to the 'Easter bunny'.
I liked the change in egg types from the first to second version. It really makes it more descriptive. I would probably die if i saw that thing anywhere. GR8 JOB!!
This is definitely a creepy yet really good story. I like the changes you made. They seemed to emphasize her journey to find the easter bunny more dramatic and focused. Nice work!
you know even thought this is really violent and would traumatize little children every where. It's really well written, The way you describe these things i can just see them in my head. nice job.
I really liked the easter bunny's description. Also, we can all relate to waiting for santa clause or the easter bunny when we were little.
...I guess I just am not a fan of the psychotic murderous easter bunny, but it's still a well-written story.
You really got the way a child acts down. Even the small action of rubbing her sweaty hands on her dress.
Great job overall. :)
yeah, this is still genius. i have nothing more to say.
