The Euthanasia of Kenny McCormick

By Shadowgate

…..

It appeared to be a lovely Wednesday morning in South Park. Kenny however was coughing in class. Mister Garrison stopped class and said "Kenny you're not looking well at all."

Cartman said "poor people have incestuous relationships with their mothers and that's how they get sick."

Kenny coughed then said "shut the fuck up you fat bastard."

Kenny coughed again and said "your mom is a slut."

Cartman said "your dad is an alcoholic."

Mister Garrison said "Cartman you shut your Goddamn mouth and Kenny I'm sending you to the nurse's office."

Inside the cafeteria at lunch time thunder and rain could be heard from outside.

Kyle said "Goddamn that's a thunderstorm."

Cartman replied "what's the matter Kyle? Does mommy need to comfort you because you're scared of the rain?"

Kyle punched Cartman in his mouth giving him a fat lip.

Craig and Clyde laughed.

Stan came running up and said "Kyle, Cartman I was stopped on my way out from the bathroom by Mister Mackey and he said Kenny is really sick and to come to the principal's office."

Cartman groaned and Stan noticed his fat lip.

Stan asked "what happened Cartman?"

Kyle's face turned angry and Craig said "Kyle punched him."

Stan said "you two come on."

When they entered the principal's office Counselor Mackey said "sit down boys I've got bad news."

Stan said "what's going on with Kenny?"

Counselor Mackey answered "as you know Mister Garrison sent him to the nurse this morning because he'd been sick over the past week and a half."

Kyle took his hat off to scratch his head and replied "I'm surprised he held up well. I imagine we're in for some bad news."

Principal Victoria said "two hours ago his parents came to pick him up and they took him to the doctor. The doctor had him admitted to Hell's Pass Hospital."

Cartman said "the hospital?"

Counselor Mackey replied "yes and the news isn't good."

Kyle asked "he's not going to die is he?"

Principal Victoria said "they've been doing tests but his mother called and said he has multiple sclerosis."

Stan asked "what the fuck is multiple sclerosis?"

Counselor Mackey said "Stan please watch the language, I know this is tough okay."

Stan starts getting jittery and Kyle puts his hand on his shoulder.

Counselor Mackey goes on to explain "it's a disease that deteriorates the nervous system and affects physical, mental and speech abilities."

Kyle asked "will Kenny be in a wheelchair like Timmy?"

Counselor Mackey answered "most likely and they're running more tests for other conditions."

Principal Victoria told the three boys that early dismissal would be allowed so they could visit Kenny later.

At 2PM the boys entered Hell's Pass Hospital with their parents. They went up to the third floor where they saw Kenny's family. Kenny's mother Carol McCormick was crying in Stuart's arms. Karen held on to her brother Kevin.

Stan asked "your name is Kevin right?"

Kevin replied "right."

Kyle asked "what's going on?"

Kevin said "Kenny has both multiple sclerosis and cancer and the doctors have given him six months tops."
