Eddy didn't remember exactly how he got himself into this. His first grade teacher would tell him later that the red headed boy (who he later found out was a kid named Kevin) had dared him to climb to the top of the playground only accepted the dare once this Kevin had thrown in a jawbreaker. It was a win/win.
Eddy would gain friends and his favorite treat. What he didn't count on was getting abandoned. Kevin and his friend Rolf had helped to lift Eddy to the top but once he had gotten there they snuck away laughing.
Eddy didn't even know what had just happened, he was to scared to even remember. It wasn't that he didn't like heights oh no he loved those he just hated not being able to get himself down or out as he would say. This was his fear, that he would get himself into something and not being able to get out of it. He didn't want to end up like his brother who got caught so many times doing things he shouldn't. So there he was, stuck a top a tower, scared out of his little mind and he didn't know how long he had until he had to go inside.
Ed was not the brightest kid in the world but he had an imagination. Most kids just avoided him because he talked to himself or rather was talking to his "monsters". Ed also loved recess, he would be found outside during school hours swinging or playing in the sand box and than his teacher would have to go out and drag him inside. Today would be no exception.
