The Bunny Man | Urban Legend Short Story

1:02 AM: Taylor wakes up to a tapping noise outside her room. She
gets up and looks out her window and sees nothing. She shrugs it off and
gets back in bed. She then hears the tapping outside her window and looks
out again. She sees a black silhouette reaching in the bushes. After
hearing her grandma’s stories, she knows it is the Easter Bunny. She
excitingly goes back to sleep.

1:36 AM: She wakes up again to the tapping noise. This time it was
on her door. She gets up and opens her door. Taylor finds a blue and white
easter egg. She walks down her hallway, feeling the soft carpet underneath
her feet. She finds a red and pink egg on the top step. She had a feeling of
guilt, as if it was too early to find the eggs. She proceeded to walk down the
stairs. AT the bottom she is greeted with a third egg in her living room. This
egg is bigger, and has a subtle pattern of green and yellow. She notices a
small crack. It get bigger and a baby chick squirms out. Taylor thinks it is
cute, but she also wonders why it hatched right when she saw it. The chick
then runs around the corner and into the kitchen. Taylor follows and finds a
music box. She opens it which causes it to play a soft lullaby. She feels a
sense of calmness. Out of nowhere, Taylor feels something unsettling
about it. The chick then runs underneath the oven, as Taylor exclaims,
“No!”. Next, Taylor sees another egg which looked a lot like the last one. A
different chick comes out of it. This chick is dyed blue. It runs into the dining
room where Taylor’s vision is blocked by the fridge. She follows it around
the corner hesitantly, as she feels something is off. As she walks in the
room, she sees what appears to be the Easter Bunny hiding eggs. She is
filled with joy but she hides behind the fridge so he doesn’t see her.

She believes he will not hide more eggs if she is seen. Then she
hears a raspy voice say, “Not, so, fast.” She peeks out and is terrified by
what she thought to be the Easter Bunny. There is instead a large creature,
that has patches of bloody fur, that look like they are barely holding on. It
had torn up wrinkly skin underneath. It’s big deformed bunny ears stuck up
high. It was sucking blood out of Taylor’s kitten, Muffin. The beast rips the
kitten apart and throws the two halves across the room revealing his face. It
has no eyes but deep black holes, a rabbit nose, and a mouth lined with

rows of sharp teeth. Taylor runs as fast as she can go, crying, into her
bathroom and locks the door. She hears the beast walking outside. She
tries to escape as the beast passed, but as she gets up she knocks a
flower pot over and the glass shatters. She bolts to the door but stops dead
in her tracks in the dining room.

There was an entire easter dinner with the severed remains of her
grandma, who she called mawma. There was her decapitated head that
had an apple stuffed in the mouth. The severed limbs spread out on
platters. A pile of guts lays in the middle with a spoon layed next to it. Blood
had flooded the large table. She screams, “Mawma! Mawma!” Her grandma
was the only one she trusted, her idol after her parents died. Caught off
guard, the beast runs at Taylor. It’s face peels back revealing a gigantuous
mouth with hundreds of sharp teeth, a black goop dripping from its mouth.
It grabbed Taylor’s arm as she screamed. It said in the raspy voice from
before, “Do you believe in me?”, and bit Taylor’s arm straight off. Blood
shooting everywhere, Taylor stops screaming as the beast bites her head
off. Her dead carcass falls to the ground.
