Sure, you may think you have, that you’ve been hearing the same tale since childhood. The Easter Bunny is the one that comes and leaves little goodies in your yard, the one that brings children joy.
But that tale is a lie.
The true story is one that isn’t told often, one that might spoil Easter Day for you.
“Middle School Mayhem” by Samuel K., age 12/Grade 6
The sound of misery, the sound of cries. This dreaded vault will not open before my eyes. I bang, I hit, I twist the lock. It will not open, no matter how hard I’ve fought. Oh, the agony! The woe! This locker is my sworn and forever foe!
A sigh left my lips as I kicked my feet softly against the sand. My chest constricted slightly at the sound of the waves crashing into the earth-thinking it was something else.
I’ve always been paranoid about that type of stuff, always thinking a murderer will come out of nowhere and slaughter me. It’s very unlikely to happen obviously, I don’t know why it’s such a big fear.
It was a dark and stormy night. I had gotten an invitation to this scary haunted house for free. I thought, “Oh, this is gonna be so lame, like the other haunted houses.” Then, something on the paper appeared in one of the blank spaces. It read “This is going to be like Nothing you have ever experienced.” So I thought, “Letters appearing out of nowhere? Maybe this will be a good haunted house after all. I might even scream.”
