Eaters Sunday

            Adorable children on an Easter egg hunt stumble a bit too far into the woods but are rewarded for their efforts when they find a nest of brightly colored eggs in a small cave tunneled into the ground.  They each take one of the eggs home.  One kid’s parent throws away the rogue egg.  The other’s puts it in a jar under a heat lamp to incubate it and see what kind of ‘bird’ comes out.  Of course, what emerges is no bird.  It’s a slimy rodent like thing with a lamprey mouth filled with spinning razor teeth.  The family kills the baby critter before it can do too much damage.

            Meanwhile, the momma beast creeps out of the woods, bigger, almost rabbit like, but for its spines, and discovers the other discarded egg.  She encounters a groundskeeper and promptly leaps onto his shoulders, effectively wood-chipping his head out of existence with her flowbee like mouth.  Then, out of a blowhole in her back, along with some blood, plops another egg.  And more creatures follow her out of the woods, plopping out eggs and decapitating townsfolk.

            The family with the incubated jar baby realize that these creatures are taking vengeance for the destruction of the eggs, and they thus realize that the eggs, provided that they are unhatched, can be held hostage to keep the creatures at bay.  So the remaining members of the town must seek out these brightly colored eggs, and use them to lure the Eaters back to their hole in the woods, where they can hopefully be trapped and ideally killed.
