The Popcorn Men

 I was talking to my family about our weird relatives. Someone mentioned that one aunt, while their mom was gone, brought their horse inside to give birth in their bedroom and they fed it cereal. We all laughed and jokes about it for awhile.

I had a flashback to when that aunt was a kid. She was living in garbage, and a gross redneck was showing her a new job he wanted her to do. He kept telling her his underwear was very important because it was from the 90s and it could be used as cement. For the job, they had a big hose and were spraying down some machinery. He takes his pants off and puts his underwear on the hose until it's wet and he grabs a pinecone. He teaches her the "popcorn song" which was like a cheerful children's song that ended with you wrapping your finger around the bridge of your nose and shouting "Pop!"

 He told her that she needs to get her friends to meet him and his friend, and bring some pinecones. So she did, and they all started singing the popcorn song together. When they put their fingers on their noses and yelled "Pop!" all of their noses exploded, looking like large bloody, fleshy pieces of popcorn. The hicks, overjoyed ran off into the woods cheering. The girls panicked and ran away and went home, hiding their noses from their families. That same night, two shadowy figures broke in through the windows and killed their entire families. They tried going after the girls too, but couldn't, so they ran out the broken windows and into the night.
