The Dark
Set in 1999
A/N: Three words Review Review Review
Edd woke up and walked out of his bed. He was twenty seven. He now had a red beanie. Intelligence was his strong point. He really wasn't strong, though. He wasn't even half as strong as his wife, Nazz. He now wore a red and white polo shirt. His pants were black and grey. His shoes were black and white Nikes. He waan't wearing them right now,though. He got up and looked at Nazz.
She was beautiful. From her long golden hair to her soft hands. They got married and lived in the forest outside Tritansdale, Ohio. He walked down the stairs of his house and entered the living room. He then walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" Edd turned around and saw his wife come down. He hugged her and let go.
"My boss, Mr. Kevin McKean, wants me to go on a business trip. I just want to take one last look at my surroundings."
"It's only a business trip. You'll be back." Nazz chuckled a bit. Edd looked around and walked forward. He looked at the forest. The beauty of it was a treat. He looked at a three story tall tree. The same tree he proposed to Nazz. They carved each other's initials.
"E.M.R.+N.V.B." he said under his breath. He, then, looked at the watch,"Seven-thirty!" He would be late. He ran home, took a shower, got dressed, and ate breakfast.
"Bye," Nazz called out as Edd ran to his car.
"Bye," Edd repeated. He got in his car and drove. He went on the highway and drove a few miles. He left it. Once he got to his first red light of the day, he thought of the business.
"What are you lookin' at?" screamed a man in a yellow bowling ball shirt.
"Eddy." Edd whispered. Eddy had gotten punch-drunk because of the many blows he took to the head. He wore a black cargo pants and red and blue Nikes. His attitude was horrible. He treated everyone like they were dog biscuts. The worst thing was that he worked at an insurance company, Auto Kevs. The same place where Edd and his other friend, Ed, worked.
Edd opened the passenger door,"Eddy, do you need some assistance to get to work." Eddy looked at him and shot a middle finger.
"I don't need your help, Sockhead, but I will come with you." Eddy entered the car,"Man people these days."
The light turned green and Edd drove to work. He, along with Eddy, entered the building. They walked towards Ed.
Ed wasn't a normal boy. Matter of fact, he never grew up. He absolutly loved monster movies. He watched every monster movie ever. He, also, loved comic books. He read more comic books than watching movies. He wore the same green, smelly jacket. He, now wears a black-and red shirt. His blue jeans complimented his blue and white Nikes.
"Hiya, guys," Ed was a joyful person,"We are going on a trip!"
"Edward," Edd sorta yelled at Ed,"Be quiet. People can hear you and smell you." Edd held his nose to avoid Ed's stench.
Ed smiled and walked away.
Edd looked around and everyone was talking to each other. He decided to walk out for a bit. He was walking to a Starbucks across the street.
"Another day, another.." As soon as he walked on the street, a bus came and hit him. He felt a lot of pain as he hit the ground. Then, he woke up. He panted at first. Then, he calmed down. He looked around and saw nothing but mountains. They were a shade of grey. He looked around him and saw a black-and-white setting.
He walked further. He looked at the scenery,"Excuse me, is anyone here?" He yelled in confusion. He looked at his skin. It was white, not peach. It was pure white,"What happened?"
He walked more and more. Then, he saw something coming down a large black tree. It was eight tentacles. On each of them was sharp teeth. They reached for him, trying to bite him. He took two steps back before he trip on something. He fell down and nearly lost his head to an,"Organic bear trap." He said,"Intiguing." A sharp jolt of pain hit Edd's leg. He looked back and saw a tentacle bit him.
It wrapped around his leg and slowly pulling him. He looked for solutions to his predicament. Luckily, the bear trap had a handle on the sides. He took it and put the clamps on the tentacle. It ripped it apart and the tentacle, along with the others, flew up the tree it came from.
"Wherever I am..It feels strange here. I'm alone. No Nazz, Ed, Eddy, Kevin, and Jonny." He smiled,"Great." He continued his journey.
. . . .
Edd set camp for the day nearby a lake. He hadn't dared to swim because he felt it might be toxic. Also, he didn't feel the need to eat or drink,"The environment sure is hostile, but I like this new tone." He talked to himself,"This either could be my subconscious or this might be as I feared..Limbo." Double D believed in limbo. Limbo was the edge of Hell.
He picked up some sticks and a couple of rocks and lit them to create a fire. The fire wasn't black nor white but red. It wasn't a fire type of color rather more red than anything.
He looked around for some deadly adversaries. There was nothing. He lied on his back and reminisced about his past life,"I wonder how Nazz is. I wonder if anyone knows I'm dead. At least, one person
He fell asleep. He dreamed about his wife. He loved her even though he hated his life. He, also, dreamed about what would happen if he went on the trip. A punch-drunk Eddy would get them in some predicament that could've killed everyone. He thought about his recently widowed mom. He would miss her very much. He, then, thought could he meet his dad here.
He smiled during his nap. He, then, thought about if Nazz was preganent. What could he do? Where will he go on from now. Can he watch them from the limbo? Could he come back to the land of the living? These thoughts made him want to leave. After two hours, he woke up. He was sweating and looked like he had a nightmare.
"I want to go home." He checked his pockets for his phone. He found it. It was a Iphone 4. He dialed 404-321-6787, Nazz's number.
"Hello,"She picked up the phone,"Hello." she repeated.
"Hi, it's me, Eddward, with two D's." Edd called. She heard it and cried. Edd could here it,"What's wrong?" he asked.
She gained the courage to hold in the tears,"Double-D is dead you cold jerk." The words pelted Edd like needles. He started frown,"Eddy, if this is you-" Edd hung up. Nazz hadn't realized that Edd really did call her.
He sat down, in awe. The fact he was dead was too much for him to handle. He looked down and cried softly. Then, he heard a bang. He looked in the direction he came from and saw trees falling down. He looked in the opposite direction. A boat was planted in the water. He jumped on and it moved.
Edd looked at the falling trees and could clearly see what the monster was. It was a twenty foot tall Black Widow. The boat made it to the other side. He jumped off and ran fast. He looked back and saw the spider crawling and walking over the water.
He ran somemore. Then, he tripped. He fell down a steep slope. He was about to get eaten by a bear trap but narrowly escaped. He finally landed in a pit. He slowly got up and walked toward a bright source of white light.
"That bear trap nearly got me. That spider was even worse. I hope I never encounter that again." He then stepped on a sticky substance. He picked up his shoe and saw a spider web,"I fear this maybe the begining of that spider fiasco." His eyes widened as he moved closer to the light.
Millions of eggs were planted there. He could see some at the brink of hatching. He walked at a faster pace until he fell on a spider web. He struggled to pull himself off,"Help! I need assistance!" he screamed wishing someone would here it. Then, he heard something in the distance. He looked. His eyes widened. His heart beat rose. And his teeth gritted. To his fear, the same Black Widow crawled towards him. Slowly, it used it's tarsus to pick Edd up.
