Tad Strange liked to go to bed at the same time every night. Nine p.m. was a good hour to go to bed in his opinion. It made for a full night and even fuller day. It allowed him to wake before his alarm would go off at six a.m. The alarm, when it went off, would play the song 'Mr. Blue Sky' by E.L.O. He would let this alarm play as he got ready for the day, every morning it was the same.
It was a new day once again for Tad. The light from the sun brightened his room, shining through the window and through the blinds. His body was adorned in only the most plain and normal striped pajamas. On his head, there was a nightcap, yes. A nightcap. He slipped out of his sheets and comforter set, which matched his pajamas, and into his grey slippers. They were a quaint little set of grey slippers, simple but functional.
As he stalked out of his room he made his way to the restroom to prepare himself for the day. 'Yesterday had been interesting', he thought mindlessly as he brushed his teeth. Not as horrible as his week, but he had a feeling, in the calm of the morning, that today was going to be equally interesting. Once he finished brushing he rinsed his mouth out with a nearby cup, he then spit the toothpaste into the sink. After this he let the sink run, pooling the water in his hands before splashing it onto the surface of his face. He then took a hand towel, that was hanging on a nearby rock, and wiped the water off himself. The towel was scratchy but nice.
Tad reached over for his hair jell and squirted it into his palms. He then took those sticky palms and ran them over his hair, slicking it back. It glimmered slightly once he was done. Satisfied, he looked in the mirror and smiled. Upon returning to his room he went to his closet. His closet consists of only the same exact white button-up shirt and black slacks. And he liked that. He liked simple and normal things. So he dressed in them. After he was finished putting on his clothing he grabbed a tie from his tie rack which had, as you can guess, only plain black ties.
It was time to eat now. He brewed a cup of black coffee and poured it into an off white cup, he then placed the cup on his kitchen table. After this, he grabbed a plate and put a singular slice of bread on it. Tad sat at his table with a knife and fork in hand. He then ate this bread much like someone would eat a T-bone steak.
It was nice, birds could be heard chirping outside. It was nice, yes it was nice. That is, until. Bill Cipher.
He appeared from nothing, and he had a look in his eye that said he wanted to burn everything. Tad carefully placed his knife and fork down to the side of his plate, his bread only half-eaten, and he looked up at the sudden appearance of the golden triangle that ruined his life and seemed determined to ruin his day.
"You lied to me." Bill said.
Tad simply smiled the way he always smiles, stiff and contained, before replying calmly, "You are absolutely terrifying."
The song had changed from 'Mr. Blue Sky' to 'Burnin for you' by B.O.C. And that, Tad decided, must have been a joke only fate could play as he gazed at the flames encasing every centimeter of Bills body.
