Crazed Cookies
My nephews and I, David, Brian, and myself - Don, were playing video games. The boys
were hungry, so I went to the kitchen to prepare some Ramen Noodles, their favorite. As
the water was boiling, I heard a strange noise from behind me. Thinking it was the cat, I
paid no attention, but the sound got louder. I called to the guys, "Hey David, Brian, did
you put the cat in the pantry again?". They came running into the kitchen to see what I
was saying. The noise stopped as the three of us stood their, talking and laughing. As the
boys went back to finish their video game, the noise started again. Being curious, I
stopped what I was doing and walked back to the pantry. I put my ear up to the door, and
heard, something! I opened the door, and a box of Gingerbread cookie mix fell at my feet.
I started to put it back on the shelf, but I thought I could make the guys some cookies. I
read the directions, and was soon mixing away. I could not figure out how to make
gingerbread men so I kinda shaped it blob like with my hands. I put the tray into the oven
and returned to the living room with the steamy noodles. The boys stopped playing and
devoured thier supper. Filling rapidly, as you will with Ramen noodles, they kicked back
to watch some TV. I told them about the cookies and asked them to help me keep an eye
on the oven. Soon Brian got up to go check, he likes cookies. 10 minutes passed, and I
thought they must be done, and he must be in thier eating them all. I sent David to check
on his brother. Another 7 or 8 minutes passed, and David did not return either. I was
mad. I got up and went into the kitchen. I could not believe my eyes, The kitchen looked
as if they had filmed a slasher movie in it! There was blood everywhere. I started
screaming, "David, Brian.... where are you?!" Nothing. I looked onto the floor and saw
drag marks leading out into the garage. I grabbed a bottle of Dawn and a Ginsu knife and
slowly opened the door. There, with their heads removed, were both of my nephews,
DEAD!!!!! I screamed, and turned away from the horror, but it was too late. I found my
path blocked by makes gingerbread men! I tried to squirt the Dawn at them, thinking it
would get them out of my way, but alas, the recipe did not call for Crisco and they did not
move. I raised the knife high above my head and shouted AIIIEEAAHHH!! swinging it in
a x pattern in front of me. The first 3 or 4 cookies fell, but soon others had me from
behind, securing my arms behind me. The largest, meanest cookie of them all came
towards me. I tried to scream, but found that my mouth had been iced over. He stood
before me, reached towards my face, and removed my EYES!! As I came to, I could not
see. The police were there, and my sister was mad. They asked what had happened, and I
asked about my eyes. The room was silent. I asked again, "What's wrong with my eyes?"
I felt a hand on my shoulder, and a voice said.... "Son, your eyes have been removed, there
is no sign of them. The strange part however, is that they were replaced." "Replaced?" I
said, "With What?" He leaned close to my face, I could smell the coffee and doughnuts,
"well," he said. It appears that they were replaced with Dots." "What do you mean?!"
I was frantic. He said, "You know, the candy kind. Like you might use for .................
GINGERBREAD MEN!!!!
