No, if you care about your story, put time into it. Other authors spend quite a lot of time trying to make their stories the best they can be so it seems a bit unjust to change our policies just so you have to put in less work. I'm sorry but your story was riddled with errors. There are: capitalization, punctuation, spacing, wording, and a massive amount of cliches present here. Here's a copy so you can look over the issues yourself.

Capitalization: "Does anyone remember owning a Jack In The Box (you don't capitalize prepositions unless they start the title. Jack In The Box should be Jack in the Box. Additionally Jack-in the-box is not a proper noun and doesn't need capitalization.)", "I was doing my first “Spring Cleaning”", etc. You also have a tendency to not capitalize "I" properly. There were about a dozen instances of that throughout the story that another user fixed.

Punctuation: Questions (even rhetorical ones) need question marks. "Does anyone remember owning a Jack In The Box in the early 90’s.(?)", "You know the box with a clown/jester inside with the Pop Goes The Weasel tune winding the thing up for the “surprise".(?)", etc.

Awkward wording: "Of course, as I grew into my teen years, I was tired of playing with it and put it in a “Childhood Toys Box” for my children I was hoping I would have one day.", "However, the clown had red tear-like (tear-like what? Tear-like is an adjective, meaning that it's describing something.) going down from its eyes, and seemed like freshly new wet red paint.", " When I finished, I decided to microwave my left overs (leftovers) from last night('s) dinner.", "Going downstairs, I noticed blood stains in (on) my carpet.", "I found in the middle of my floor was the Jack In The Box. It was like spilt water, except a big blood stain. (awkward wording)", "To this day, I still believe that fucking toy had some demon possession (two nouns) or some shit.", etc.

Spacing: You forget to properly space after using punctuation a number of times throughout the story. "Many years later, when I had settled into my own house just in the residential area of Anaheim,California (space needed),", "Naturally, I was worried that something had happened (I have no pets in my house) and went searching for a cause.In (space needed)", etc.

Tense shifting: You have a tendency to shift from telling the story in past tense ("I found in the middle of my floor was the Jack In The Box." to present tense ("Then I notice a knife in the right hand of the clown.") multiple times throughout the story. You need to be uniform with your tensing.

Story issues: The story uses a lot of tropes in a very generic manner. Cliches like: crying blood ("However, the clown had red tear-like going down from its eyes, and seemed like freshly new wet red paint. With curiosity racing through my mind, I rubbed a little of the paint on the tip of my pointer finger, and I realized it was a stream of blood."), distorted music ("the tune was playing, but it was was distorted." Additionally distorted isn't a good descriptor as it doesn't really paint a picture for how it's distorted.), and "I will never ______ again" ("I will most likely never know, but I know I will never in my lifetime will ever own another Jack In The Box.", etc. weakens the story overall as it just feels like it's a random assortment of tropes picked up from other stories.

Story issues cont.: A lot of your description is very bland. Lines like: "It was like spilt water, except a big blood stain.", "the tune was playing, but it was was distorted.", and "With a sudden pain, I look to see my wrist was bloody, and I looked at the knife, which had blood on it." are good examples of this. You have a tendency to overuse blood and not build-up the scenes effectively. Calling something distorted without adding on to it to say how it's distorted (Is it low and growling, is it high-pitched and grating?) really results in an un-involving plot.

Story issues final: There are more issues here, but the last one I'm going to focus on is the incredibly rushed nature of the story. There's no real build-up or tension here. The plot can be summed up with "I picked up a bloody clown toy and it cut me. Then I threw it away" which really doesn't make the story engaging. I'm going to suggest using the writer's workshop (link on your talk page) for your next story because if your following work has this many issues, it's likely to be deleted outright for failing to meet the bare minimum of our quality standards.
