The bunny mans curse

So a while ago I was making my way to West Virginia. In this little town off the side of the highway (name is with held due to the safety of this place.) where they have a legend known as the Bunnyman, this tale is a fairly easy one to fallow. Once a long time ago (1800s to be exact) a mental institution was closed down, when the wardens were transferring the inmates to their new hell hole, a very daring man in the lineup managed to escape.

He was missing for days; the thing that coincided with his escape was a small series of murders that happened in this little town I visited. The first victim was stabbed and skinned, the next few were cut up with axes and the bodies disposed of in the local deli and packaged as steaks and sausage meat.

The last kill before he was seen again was at a party shop, the last thing stolen and the last victim were key to his madness. See the owner was his ex-wife who had put him away for being a Satanist. He was, as you'd imagine, less than stellar about his incarceration. So he took his axe an as the store was closing, pushed her in and knocked her out. When she woke up he was standing there, axe in hand,grinning. However the differences with this kill versus the others, he stole an Easter bunny suit and wore it while he killed her. He started by skinning her in areas where it would hurt but not kill. He then took and wrote on the walls in her blood:

"You've seen what I can do. Do not come after me or soon you too will face the wrath of the Bunnyman."

With this, the Bunnyman lay dormant for the next 5 years. Every so often there would be a random missing person's case; the locals would make a joke about them being the next of the Bunnyman victims. The one case that caused more of a "successful" investigation was that of a small girl named Penelope. She had been missing for months and her parents were worried.

Her mother was so determined to get her back she forced her husband and two of his friends (both cops) to travel into the woods that surrounded their house, and most of the town, to search for her. They searched from day break to dawn the next day, when the light shown through the trees they almost gave up. That was until they stumbled upon a small hole in the wall under the new street tunnel that connected to a railroad. Upon entering they stumbled upon dead rabbit carcasses, rabbit bones and guts.

The meat of these rabbits swung from makeshift meat hooks and rotted to the point of mold and a terrible smell. The woman threw up outside, this was the most disgusting thing she had seen ever. They went further into the cavern, as they reached what looked like a small bedroom they saw more meat hooks, then bodies. Each had a toe tag; they assumed that these were cadavers from a medical school up the road. The thing that set these apart from other cadavers they had seen in the past was, well, these were the missing people from their town.

Another thing that set them apart was the fact that they were half eaten. That's when the mother screamed and

Bunnyman Bridge

woke the Bunnyman. She saw Penelope alright, she was mutilated and hanging from a meat hook. Her eyes were gone and she was partially skinned in areas that no one should be. She had no more teeth in her and her tongue was removed, and one ear was missing.

Penelope gargled a bit then weakly called out, "M-mother?"

The mother proceeded to go to her daughter, but before she could even say, "I love you.", the Bunnyman popped out and axed Penelope in the back of her head,killing her instantly. He saw them looking as he looked back, so one of the cops pulled a gun.

"Freeze you sick bastard!" He shouted

Bunnyman merely looked at him and laughed, "You think you can really stop me? You think I am afraid? I have toe tags for you too. Now give up, you'll all be a well earned meal." He tossed the toe tags to them with their names on it. They looked down at it, and then back up.
