SpongeBob - Snapped

As SpongeBob walked to work one morning, happy as most of the time, staring off at his surroundings, he noticed Squidward walking not too far behind him. Upon looking at him, SpongeBob immediately knew there was something off about Squidward. He looked like a total wreck. His skin was pale, he had bags under his eyes, (even those bags have bags,) he was still wearing his night gown, and he walked very slowly and sluggishly with a slight limp to it. SpongeBob knew something was going on with Squidward.
SpongeBob waved at Squidward, hoping to attract his attention, but he simply ignored SpongeBob and walked right past him, paying no attention to SpongeBob. SpongeBob attempted once again to get Squidward's attention.
"Hey, Squidward," he shouted. Again, no response from Squidward.
"Hey, hey Squiddy ol' pal," Spongebob called out again. Still no response. SpongeBob continued to call out to Squidward, hoping to get his attention. Eventually, Squidward grew irritated at SpongeBob’s excessive shouting. Squidward then proceeded to grab SpongeBob by the mouth, silencing him at an instant.
"SpongeBob, my friend," said Squidward. "What could possibly be so important that you won't stop NAGGING ME FOR!"
SpongeBob let out a small giggle. "Hi," he said. Squidward just stared at SpongeBob for a second, clearly unimpressed with SpongeBob's continual annoyance. Squidward then tossed SpongeBob like a bowling ball, sending him rolling down a hill and through the city of Bikini Bottom. Squidward just watched as SpongeBob rolled through town crashing into vehicles and nearby citizens.
Some time later, SpongeBob arrived at the Krusty Krab, rolling into the doors and slamming into the cash boat, sending him flying through the window and into the kitchen. SpongeBob then began his daily work routine. Squidward arrived shortly after, and began his daily work routine as well.
Time passes and Squidward is still in the state he was in before. SpongeBob starts to become a little more concerned for Squidward, as he hadn't seen him this weary before in a long time. SpongeBob, being the same helpful saint he is, attempts to comfort Squidward in his time of desperation.
"Hey, Squidward," said SpongeBob. "I noticed you've been kinda down in the dumps lately, and I'm kinda getting worried about you. So tell me, what's going on in Squidward's world?"
"Sigh, SpongeBob, do I even have to explain it at this point," Squidward replied. "I'm stuck living in a dead end town working a dead end job with workers that I despise, and making little to no money from it because our boss is a greedy bozo who would fire us at an instant just to make a quick buck! And you would know because it's happened to YOU before." And did I mention I'm stuck with your annoying butt all day?"
SpongeBob had never payed attention to Squidward’s constant rambling about how terrible his life was before, but this one really hit close to home. SpongeBob began to realize how crappy his job was, and wasn't just his job either. His life was a complete mess, and he didn't even realize it until now. Squidward was right, he had always been right. 
That night, as SpongeBob sat in his bed after a puzzling day of work, he began to think about his life. He thought about how terrible his job was, and how little Mr. Krabs was paying him. He always said he cared for SpongeBob, but deep inside, but SpongeBob knew that Mr. Krabs was was a greedy, selfish douchebag that had sold him out on multiple occasions.
SpongeBob thought about Squidward, and how Squidward hated his guts. SpongeBob thought about Patrick, and all the terrible things he's done to himself and SpongeBob. Patrick probably would've killed himself in a sheer act of stupidity if it wasn't for SpongeBob.
SpongeBob thought about Sandy, and how she's the only girl in his life that cares about him, and then again, even she admits that he was an idiot. He thought about his love life, and how he'd probably never find a girl because of his sheer stupidity and tendency to be annoying.
He thought about all his near death experiences, either from his own stupidity, or at the hands of another one of his supposed "friends." SpongeBob’s life was a trainwreck, and what was he do to about it?
SpongeBob spent the whole night thinking about his life, in fact he spent many days thinking about it, to the point he stopped focusing on self care and focused on thinking about his terrible life. He hadn't left his room in days, and his friends started to become concerned. One day, Squidward, Patrick, Sandy and Mr. Krabs decided to visit SpongeBob in an attempt to cheer him up from his depressed state. Upon entering the house, the gang noticed how unkempt the place looked. The lights were flickering, furniture was scattered everywhere, the walls were faded and peeling, and mold was growing on the ceiling. It looked like it had been abandoned for weeks, which to be fair, it kinda had.
The gang made their way up the stairs and soon, they reached SpongeBob’s room. Squidward lead the group as he knocked on SpongeBob's bedroom door.
"SpongeBob, you in there," Squidward asked. SpongeBob gave no response. Squidward was starting to get worried. Normally, he didn't care for SpongeBob, but this time around, he was starting to get concerned. SpongeBob may have been annoying, but atleast he cared for Squidward and bothered to try and help him in his time of needs, even if they didn't exactly go their way.
Squidward knocked again. Still no response. Sandy intervened and knocked hardly on SpongeBob's bedroom door.
"SpongeBob, you in there little fella," she shouted. SpongeBob mumbled in response, but they couldn't make out what he was saying. Eventually, the gang just decided to bust the door open. Squidward opened up the door, and they saw SpongeBob sitting on his bed. He looked terrible. He was skeletally thin, his skin was pale, his eyes were bloodshot with bags under them, he had a slight amount of facial hair, and weirdest of all, his skin was starting to decompose in some areas.
SpongeBob didn't seem to acknowledge his friends standing nearby, until Squidward started to speak. 
"Hey... SpongeBob," said Squidward. "You feeling okay?"
"Look at me," SpongeBob replied. "Do I look okay to you?"
Squidward sat down on the bed next to SpongeBob. "Listen, tell me what's wrong?"
"You were right, Squidward. My life sucks. My job sucks, my friends don't care about me, I'm barely able to sustain myself. I'm surprised I haven't been evicted from my house yet..."
Squidward wrapped his arm around SpongeBob’s shoulder and tried to comfort him. "Listen, SpongeBob. It's gonna be ok."
"No, Squidward, it's not gonna be ok." SpongeBob stood up and looked Squidward in the eyes. "It's never gonna be ok. My life is terrible. You hate me. You all don't care about me."
"That's not true, me boy, "Mr. Krabs chimed. "We care about you! Right, guys?" Squidward, Patrick and Sandy nodded in agreement. "Now how about I cook you up a nice Krabby Patty-"
"You can go to hell is what you can do," SpongeBob shouted. The others were taken aback. "You all don't give give a crap about me! You all are only my friends because you feel bad for me."
"SpongeBob, that's not true," Patrick said.
"Don't you lie to me, you fat bastard," SpongeBob yelled. "I don't wanna hear any of your crap. Now do yourselves a favor and get the hell out of my house!"
Patrick broke down into tears. As Sandy attempted to comfort him, Squidward issued the others to leave the room so he could talk to SpongeBob alone. Patrick, Sandy and Mr. Krabs obliged and left the room. They walked downstairs into the living room, but they could still hear the commotion. 
Squidward attempted to talk to SpongeBob again. "Listen, buddy. I know you're having a rough time right now. Look, how about you come here and we can talk things out-"
"Get the hell away from me," SpongeBob shouted. He started breathing heavily and pacing the room.
"SpongeBob, calm down, calm down," Squidward said. SpongeBob suddenly stopped and stared at the floor, his breathing slowing down.
"SpongeBob?" Squidward asked concerningly as SpongeBob slowly started to stare up at him, eyes full of hurt and anger. Squidward could feel his heart racing as he suddenly got the feeling he was in danger.
Going back to the rest of the group, Sandy, Patrick and Mr. Krabs sat down on a couch together, hoping everything was going alright upstairs. 
"You think everything is going on alright up there," said Mr. Krabs.
"I don't know, " Sandy said. "He seemed pretty upset. Maybe we should give him some time."
"You think he meant all those things he said," Patrick asked, still in tears.
"No, Patrick," Sandy replied. "He couldn't have. He cares about us, right?"
Suddenly, the group heard noises coming from upstairs. They heard the sound of fast footsteps, a loud snap, and a scream that ended too quickly.
"What was that," Sandy asked. She lead Patrick and Mr. Krabs upstairs and back into SpongeBob's room. Upon opening the door they faced a horrible sight. They saw SpongeBob standing in the center of his room, his expression was that of a mix of rage and slight satisfaction. In his helds, he held the pale, limp body of Squidward, his neck snapped almost clean off. SpongeBob had killed him...
"SpongeBob!" Sandy shouted. "What happened?" Patrick suddenly burst into tears again, mourning the loss of his friend, and the near loss of another.
"Don't you see," SpongeBob replied, his voice growing deeper. "He's dead. I put him out of his misery. His life was sad enough. He's in a better place now, one where he doesn't have to be mentally tortured all day. You all should be happy."
"SpongeBob, this isn't right," Mr. Krabs shouted. "Now how will I make all me money!?"
"That's it, that's the thing," SpongeBob replied. "You only care about your money. That's it! You don't care about the people actually making you all that money. You don't even care about your own daughter. You're no worse than your own rival, Plankton. Atleast he strives to make his workplace better and treats his employees with as much care as he can, that is, when he actually has employees. Meanwhile, you're just a cheap, greedy, careless freeloader with no care for anyone in the world. And I hope you go to hell for your crimes..."
Everyone stood in shock at SpongeBob’s statement. They had never heard anything like that from SpongeBob before. To think that he was once a complete saint with love for everyone in the sea, to now see him change into this complete psychopath was just heartbreaking. 
Mr. Krabs broke down into tears, and while Sandy tried to comfort him, SpongeBob placed Squidward's lifeless body on the floor and grabbed a glass bottle off the floor.
"Now if you'll excuse me," SpongeBob said as he slowly walked towards Mr. Krabs. "I'm gonna do something I should've done a long time ago, and give the Krabby Patty formula to someone who actually deserves it." SpongeBob smashed the glass bottle over Mr. Krabs' head, causing sharp pieces of glass to scatter all over the floor and into Mr. Krabs' head and eyes. He cried out in pain, clenching his head as he slowly bled out.
"And if any of you try to stop me, I'll kill every single one of you," SpongeBob added as he walked out of his room and down the stairs.
"NO, he's gonna steal me formuler," Mr. Krabs shouted as he ran after SpongeBob. Patrick and Sandy attempted to hold him back, but it wasn't enough. Mr. Krabs ran down the stairs as fast as he could, claws out and ready to slice. As SpongeBob was heading out the door, he saw Mr. Krabs zooming towards him, shouting some sort of battle cry. In response, SpongeBob slammed the door into Mr. Krabs' face and ran off.
Mr. Krabs slammed head first into the door, causing bits of his shell to crack and fall off. The sheer speed and force of Mr. Krabs' crash caused the door to come off its hinges and fall onto the floor, resulting in a loud crash that shook the whole neighborhood. SpongeBob looked behind him in sheer disgust and confusion. His attempts clearly weren't enough.
SpongeBob picked up a rock off the ground and tossed it in his hand, waiting for Mr. Krabs to get up. Mr. Krabs tried to throw the door in SpongeBob's direction, but he was able to dodge the incoming door. Mr. Krabs attempted to charge at SpongeBob again. In response, SpongeBob clocked the rock into the side of Mr. Krabs' head, causing large amounts of shell to crack and fall off. A slight amount of blood splattered about as Mr. Krabs fell to the ground with a thud.
"Idiots, all of you" SpongeBob said, a look of satisfaction gleaming in his eye. SpongeBob ran off in the other direction. Sandy and Patrick exited the house soon after, immediately rushing to help out Mr. Krabs. Mr. Krabs was layed out on the floor, blood oozing from his heavily cracked and bruised face.
"That... little rat," Mr. Krabs muttered as he struggled to speak. "I treated him like a son... how could he do this...?" 
"It'll be ok, Eugene," Sandy said. "We'll get help as soon as possible." Sandy used SpongeBob's payphone to call emergency services, while Patrick stayed with Mr. Krabs, attempting to crack jokes to make Mr. Krabs feel better. When the medical team arrived, Sandy and Patrick left Mr. Krabs with the medical team and ran off to find SpongeBob. 
Some time later, Sandy and Patrick found SpongeBob entering the Krusty Krab. The two ran after SpongeBob, bursting through the double doors and into Mr. Krabs' office, where they found SpongeBob retrieving the formula from the safe. 
"SpongeBob, stop!" Sandy shouted. "You don't have to do this!"
"Why should I listen to you," SpongeBob replied in sheer disgust. "You don't know what I've been through. You have zero power over me!"
"Listen to me, SpongeBob," said Sandy, attempting to make peace with SpongeBob. "Its gonna be ok. We can help you. That's what friends do. I know some people back in Texas who can help you, they'll have you feeling better in no time-"
"I said... you have ZERO POWER OVER ME!" SpongeBob shouted as he flipped Mr. Krabs' desk over and knocked over his chair. He continually began punching the wall in rage multiple times before breaking down into tears. He curled up into a ball on the floor and sobbed while muttering incoherently.
"I'm a failure..."SpongeBob cried, "I'm a complete failure..." SpongeBob continued to cry as Sandy walked over to SpongeBob and placed her hand over his shoulder.
"There there, SpongeBob, it'll be ok," Sandy calmly said to SpongeBob.
"Yeah, you heard the man," said Patrick. "Now how about we head on down to Goofy Goobers. I'll get you that Triple Gooberberry Sundae you like."
"I don't want any fancy sundaes," SpongeBob solemnly replied. "I don't know what I want. My life is ruined, and I'm completely unhappy. I don't know what I'm supposed to do now." Sandy and Patrick helped SpongeBob off the ground as SpongeBob wiped the tears from his face.
"It'll be ok, SpongeBob," said Sandy as she grabbed SpongeBob’s hand. "We'll get you some help." The three of them smiled at each other and walked out of Mr. Krabs' officer, heading for the exit, knowing that everything would hopefully be ok. But, suddenly, a police officer bursted through the Krusty Krab doors armed with the finest weaponry in the undersea.
"Freeze, come out with your hands up," the officer shouted. SpongeBob and his friends were shocked at what they were hearing. Sandy and Patrick both out their hands above their heads, fearing their lives, but SpongeBob wouldn't budge.
"Alright, which one of you snob-nosed donkeys ratted me out," SpongeBob yelled. He could nearly feel his blood boil, heart racing as everyone stood silent, no reply from anyone. "Well? Anyone gonna fess up?"
"I think it might've been Mr. Krabs back at the house," Sandy exclaimed.
"Argh, that little rat," SpongeBob shouted. "I knew I couldn't trust him for a second! I ought to give him a taste of round 2!"
"Alright, SpongeBob, you're coming with me," said the cop. He grabbed a pair of handcuffs off of his belt and attempted to hook them up to SpongeBob, but SpongeBob resisted arrest.
"NO, I ain't going back," SpongeBob shouted, flailing his arms around attempting to ward the cop off. "I've heard far too much about that place, and I ain't having ANY OF IT!"
"Sir, if you don't come with me, I will have to shoot you." The officer attempting to handcuff SpongeBob again, but SpongeBob pushed the cop to the ground, flailing his arms and shouting. Sandy and Patrick slowly backed away, fearing the worst. The officer got up off the floor and raised his gun, preparing to shoot the now completely insane sponge he was facing, but SpongeBob smacked the gun out of the officer's hand, and it landed on the floor.
"SpongeBob, what are you doing," Sandy shouted in a panic. "Stop! Don't throw your life away!" SpongeBob ignored her and intently stared at the officer, waiting for him to make his next move. The cop attempted to pick his gun off of the floor, but SpongeBob proceeded to jump on his back, and continually punch the officer in the back of the head and bite at his neck. The officer attempted to reach for his walkie talkie and call for backup, but SpongeBob ripped the walkie talkie out of his hand and snapped it in two with his bare hands before throwing the broken pieces on the floor.
SpongeBob then ripped off his own tie and attempted to strangle the officer with it. The officer, now gasping for air and desperately trying to escape this killer sponge grabbed SpongeBob by the throat and threw him into Mr. Krabs' office. SpongeBob landed with a harsh thud on the floor, his left eye hitting one of the corners of Mr. Krabs' desks. The officer attempted to charge at SpongeBob while he was down, but SpongeBob got up and quickly shut the door, locking it and holding it shut.
The officer continuously banged on the door. "Open up in there, will you," he shouted. 
"I don't have time for you," SpongeBob snarled. As the officer continued to break down the door, SpongeBob opened up Mr. Krabs' safe and grabbed the secret formula out of it before closing fhe safe. SpongeBob stood still for a second, took a deep breath, and pulled a match box out of his pocket. He grabbed one of the matches out of it and lit it. The room was instantly illuminated by the fire. SpongeBob then placed down the match box, and opened the door. 
SpongeBob could see the enraged officer pointing a gun at his face, he could see the worried expression on his friends' face as they stood back and spectated, he could see the Chum Bucket illuminated in the distance, he could see each individual star in the sky, and with the drop of his match, soon, he would see smoke.
The match hit the floor, and fire instantly erupted and engulfed the restaurant. SpongeBob instantly threw the secret formula forwards, smashing a hole in the front door, and rolling towards the Chum Bucket entrance. Beams of wood fell from the ceiling, blocking all exits. No one could do anything but accept their fate. The fire circled everyone, slowly closing in on everyone. 
The officer looked around him, knowing he was powerless to stop the fire. In response, he took off his hat and held it in front of his chest. He closed his eyes and made his final prayers. Sandy and Patrick held hands and closes their eyes, standing and waiting for their inevitable fate. SpongeBob watched as this all happened. He moved towards the door, and through flaming beams of wood, watched as the secret formula rolled towards the Chum Bucket doors. SpongeBob got down on his knees, closed his eyes, and smiled. He was ready to move on. Everyone was. A new chapter would soon begin.
When the formula bumped into the Chum Bucket doors, Plankton opened the doors to find the formula sitting right in front of him. Plankton grabbed the formula and inspected it closely before taking it inside, where he would later use it to create a new monopoly in the food business, and no one could do anything to stop it.
SpongeBob smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, content with what he had done. As the flames engulfed everyone in the room, knowing he was next, SpongeBob contemplated on his life decisions, and contemplated on his future, not only for himself, but for the future of Bikini Bottom. Everything was soon to change, and Spongebob was just fine with that. Maybe this is the way things were meant to be.
