Justin and Andy sat in the pumpkin patch plotting their atrocity while Doorstep chased moles. "Let's run through it again," Andy said. "I'll lure the kids into the shed; then you smash their heads until they're unconscious, and then I'll cut off their heads and limbs with the chain saw and we'll drain their blood into buckets."
"I'm not sure I can knock someone unconscious; can I practice on some pumpkins?" Justin asked.
"Okay, but not out here," Andy replied, and Justin jumped up and down with excitement. He wanted to be part of the game.
"Okay, let's get these pumpkins to the shed," Andy called. "We're gonna need some hammers and buckets!" Justin jumped up and down again, and Doorstep wagged his mighty tail.
If Andy had been born a dog, he would've been a tail-wagger too.

Seriously sick, EE. I'm never letting you babysit my kids again.
This beginning is so "no you didn't" meets "brilliant."
Deliciously awful.
This is kinda dark. Are you sure you don't write SAW or HOSTEL? or some other movie like that?
kiersten, are you sure it was _your_ kids you picked up at the end of the night?

OMG!!!!
I'm sitting by myself, laughing out loud!
EE, you are truly evil!
I have to go back and read this over and over... for the sequel...
Um. Oh my. That was... Well, it was... Wow.
EE, you're almost as twisted as WO. And that's saying a lot.
Very nicely, though savagely done.
*shiver*
Wow, EE. You're wicked sick. I got a chill down my back reading this one.
Chris, are you rethinking your genre, girl?
Loved the image of the tail-wagging happy excitement of the little boy!
Almost skipped over this, but I'm glad (I think) I didn't. Quite a seamless (albeit evil)meshing of the two worlds. Hey maybe you've invented a mini-genre!?!

I think these could be marketed at the major airlines.
Like fortunes in cookies, you could maybe get these on the napkins of in-flight meals...
Doorstep is a great name for a dog, by the way.
