The story quickly became one of the most popular creepypastas and would inspire many other stories, including Jane the Killer. He becomes a serial killer who sneaks into houses at night and whispers 'go to sleep' to his victims before killing them. After being discharged and having his bandages removed, Jeff becomes insane, carving his own face to leave a smile-shaped scar, burning off his eyelids, and killing his family. There, the bullies doused him with alcohol and set him on fire. His parents, (being rightfully concerned) force him to go to a party, where he runs into the bullies.
The fight ends with Jeff being nearly arrested for assault, which his brother Liu takes the blame for, getting taken away resulting in Jeff becoming very depressed and introverted. In the story, a teenager named Jeff is attacked by a group of bullies. Jeff the Killer is a story accompanied by an image of the title character.
