Jackalope (short story)

Jackalope was a 2011 short story written by Cody Schell.

Plot
In the Black Hills of South Dakota, Linda and Pete embrace each other as they skinny dip in a lake. A noise disturbs the pair and Linda retrieves the flashlight from her backpack on the shore. They are amused to realise that they have been watched by a rabbit, but that amusement soon turns to terror when the rabbit is joined by countless others with crystal horns who attack them. Pete is killed while still in the water and Linda runs through the woods to escape the onslaught.

Señor 105 and Sheila soon cross paths with Linda. They decide to head into the Black Hills with her to find Pete and stumble across his dead body which has been hung up like a scarecrow as an apparent warning. Scattered about the place are dead rabbits some with ebony horns and some with crystal.
