The Life Of Dark Character

Once there was a young man named Dark Character. He lived in the alleys of England, and was hated by the people there. He was just digging through a garbage can for food one day, when he realized something. His life really sucked. All he had to do was go and prove that Dark Character was a name to be feared and not laughed at.1

____________________________________________________________________2

Dark was just wandering the streets when he passed by a tall man in fine clothes. The man looked at Dark's groggy appearance and shuttered, backing away in fear. he stumbled as Dark got closer, kindly asking for a bit of cash to get him through the day. The man fell into the street, only to be crushed murderously by a speeding car. Dark merely shrugged it off, continuing his walk down the street. 3

Later that day, Dark noticed two boys fighting. One was a large, plump boy, while the other was small and frail. It reminded Dark of a program that he'd seen on TV when he was only a child. It had been on the nature channel and showed a polar bear mercilessly tearing it's prey, a small seal, to shreds. This sight had mortified Dark for life, which was probably why he was still living in an alley at age 23. As he passed the boys, he thought that they'd be an easy first target to make his name a feared one. He pulled out a golf club, beating the boys until they cried, walking away calmly after.4

Now, England is not England without booze. Dark decided that he could go for a drink and stopped inside a nearby bar, smiling to the bartender as he sat down. His teeth were a dirty yellow, and his breath smelled of onions and beer. The female bartender, who had never seen such a distasteful man in her life-not to mention of how much he reeked- fell to her knees, and began to throw up. Dark tried to help her, to figure out what was wrong, but the fact that he was touching her made her only throw up more. Finally she died, because she'd thrown up so much that she had become dangerously dehydrated.5

_________________________________________________________________6

Now, Dark was feeling quite depressed. You see, he didn't think that he was scaring anyone, and that the two deaths actually had been accidental. But, as he passed by a wanted poster stuck to the fence of his house with his picture on it, he couldn't help but let a wicked grin-a smirk of success-spread over his lips.7

Dark decided that it was time for him to shine. He strutted into the city park, feeling quite confident that he would be able to commit at least a few murders this afternoon. He noticed a few people eating at a picnic, all happy together. One man was about to throw a ball to another. Unfortunately, the man who was supposed to catch the ball, caught sight of Dark, standing off in the park's corner. The ball hit the man in the eye, and he started bleeding to death.8

Everyone was running and screaming from the horrible sight, but then one of the other men lost an arm, yet another had his fingers cut off, and the last had a keyboard from the piano he'd been playing, stuck right through his middle. They all flailed, falling to the ground as they drowned in their own blood, and all Dark Character did was happily skip away, now satisfied with his disgusting looks.9

(I am terribly sorry for that last scene. It was horrible and crude...and also taken from an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus... )

Author notes

Alright, this is only for the contest i entered. it may be mocking the point of this contest, but i myself enjoyed writing this piece. As you can see-if you've read any other stories of mine-that i tend to quote and take things from Monty Python. So, unless you like Monty Python, this story might not be as funny to the slap-stick lovers out there.

For the contest: My current favorite song is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls....at least...it is now, it'll probably change in a day.

      Hehe ^^ Thank you!

      Other people didn't understand the fact that it was Monty-Python-based...

      Thanks again!

    How did the one guy get a piano shoved through him? Was that Dark's doing? It also struck me as odd that he was playing a piano in the park in the first place. Guess that was the Monty Python bit.

    The bartender vomiting to death from Dark's dirtiness was kinda funny.

    You know how cool, and annoying, to actually have the name "Dark Character"?. Heh, people would just call you "Dark". . And read the rules again. About the "Author notes".

    Misa wants to hug Mello. Can Misa hug Mello? XD

      There's no Author Note part in the rules.

    Misa Misa ish happy with this, since it's very unique and very gruesome. Gruesome, gory, dark and somewhat scary. I likey. Then ending surprised me a little. For who knows? I thought he might've died, seeing as the "dark character always dies".

    Awesomeness.

    It was an interesting peice. I Liked the idea of it. However, I find it hard to believe some of your death scenes. I got the feeling they were sopposed to seem like accidents when he was around, but he orchastrated them some how. Yet, you also had him take an active role as well. I kept expecting him to start killing people but with some strange elobrate plot. Yet, be the end it didn't happen. In that way I was a bit dissapointed. HOwever, I did enjoy the read over all.
