Accidents happen all the time. People die everyday. So why was this any different? Oh that's right, because it was Edd that was gone. The cul-de-sac was empty of neighbors who would normally be happily enjoying the transition from Spring into Summer. It had been raining for three days now, longer than it ever had consecutively in Peach Creek. Seems even the sky was mourning the loss of the young one.
Edd's parents had never really been around much, the business type and such. After the accident they had come home and their car hadn't left since, save for a few trips into town. The residents of the cul-de-sac had all known Edd since they were young. There were some that were taking his death a bit harder than most. Starting with Ed, and Eddy. Over the years, carefree Ed had gotten a restraint on his overly excited tendencies, all thanks to Edd. He hadn't come out of his room ever since he heard the news; not even any of Sarah's half-hearted threats got to him. Eddy had stopped most of his scatterbrained ideas and plans back in Middle School, but still the idea of not having his inventor around was a disheartening notion. There also was another that was taking this hard; someone unexpected. Kevin sat in his room clutching Edd's trademark beanie. He knew things would never be the same again. Nothing was ever going to be the same without Double D.
But an ending has no proper place at the beginning of a story. Let's remedy this, shall we?
