Inanimate Insanity-Alone in the Dark.
Oh, how long had it been? Thirty minutes? Yeah that seems right. Thirty minutes ago basically punched me right in the heart…
After Mephone4 said Balloon was eliminated with 5 votes and Nickel with 1 vote, I literally thought I'd pass out on my seat. It made me even more wanting to pass out when I saw Baseball with tears in his eyes as he walked away.
"Yeah…sure…"
Those words slapped me in my face for God-knows-how-many-times. Hallucinations started firing up in my mind again and I shut my eyes and cringed as all of the voices came at once.
"Tick tock, Tick tock…"
"He should just keep to himself…"
"…Useless…"
"The path you make is the choice you make..."
"CAREFUL WHICH WAY YOU GO…"
"Is the bond solid? Or is it hollow?"
I screamed as loud as I could.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
I then collapsed on my side and breathed a long, heavy, sigh.
"Suitcase! Are you alright?!"
I look over to see Microphone, Lightbulb, and Paintbrush. Oh great…
"I'm perfectly fine." I say.
"You aren't fine!" screams Lightbulb, a bit loud. Paintbrush gives off an angry glare at her. Whoops.
"Suitcase, is it the voices again..?" Mic asks me. I sigh.
"Yes…it's worse…" I groan. Am I getting a headache?
Lightbulb sits me up as I calm down a bit.
"Is it about Balloon?" She asks me. Tears come out of my eyes as I sob on Paintbrush, who was next to me. It rubs my back as my muffled cries start to slow. I lean out of Paintbrush and cough, and then sniffle.
"Y-yes…it was…I just can't believe that-"
"He stood up for you?"
"…Yeah…"
Paintbrush sighs, then runs a hand through it's bristles.
"He was a great friend to you!" Lightbulb says, apparently trying again. Paintbrush and Microphone nod.
Microphone puts an arm around me. "It's alright. You might win this for him! You can do it!"
I smile a bit. Maybe I could.
"Alright, what about we head back?" Mic asks. I nod and stand up.
"But what about Baxter?" Lightbulb asks.
"Oh my God, Lightbulb! THAT CRAB IS GONE!" Paintbrush screams.
Paintbrush chases Lightbulb as she heads for the ocean to look for her crab. Those two…
I walk away with Microphone as I slowly thought a bit more about my depression…and Balloon's fate.
