When Maddie went to walk in the park after dark, something that was really ill-advised for obvious reasons, serial killers, and other unsavory people.  The term people. Not lawn gnomes but actual people.

So when she saw a stray lawn gnome in the park, which was unusual. She picked it up.  It seemed safe as it was a lawn gnome.   You see these things next to people's homes.  So they were safe? Right?

Well, that was what Maddie thought, too.  As she started to walk with the lawn gnome in under her arms.   This is where it goes sideways. The gnome slips from under Maddie arm and soon went for the jugular. 

"What the hell," she managed to say before the gnome sank it fangs into her throat  and ripped it out.

No one heard her screams.   No one knew that was until a 15 year old girl found the body and started to dial 911. 

As the detective came to check the body for clues....he could not find the lawn gnome.

It had to be a human that did this, right????!!!!

Well, during the autopsy, there were small teeth marks on the remainder of Maddies throat.  "This had to be a real fucking psychopath!"

"One with super small teeth," the M.Es assistant said.  "Wow, just wow."

"And this fuck up of nature did this I public."

"So what is the cause of death, doctor!?" 

"Besides Losing most of her throat, I would say it was a massive loss of blood."

"Damn," the assistant said.  "We gotna serial killer on our hands."

And so this shit show begins.
