Darwin's Suicide

It all started when I was going out for a walk. Cause y'know, I wanted to walk for a bit? Suddenly, I step on a tape with a note. The tape said "Darwin's Suicide". I also read the note. It said "Daniel, if you ever find this tape, DON'T WATCH IT! I'm having nightmares about this tape.. DESTROY IT, JUST DESTROY IT! -John"

Why'd I destroy a tape? I thought to myself, then I continued with the tape, then got home. I had a VHS at home. I got home, took off my coat and ran up to my room. I inserted the tape.

The intro started normal, decent like always. I would wonder what this episode would be about. Suddenly, the title shows up on my TV: "Darwin's Suicide". I thought this to myself: Why is it called Darwin's Suicide if almost every episode starts with The?" Then, the episode started.

It starts with a shot of a outside look of the house, like in almost EVERY EPISODE. Everything starts to get messed up here. Everyone except Darwin wasn't there. Then it cut to their (Gumball's, Darwin's & Anais') room. Everything looks like a mess there. Darwin is sitting down, with a very depressed look. Darwin got up and went to the living room, then sitting on the couch. Darwin was all alone and walked outside, crying hysterically. I heard him say something. He said this:

"I'M SORRY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE TO THEM. I'M SO SORRY."

As he continues crying, he stops and looks at some pictures, or memories of him and his family. I felt really bad for Darwin. He says something else, but half of it is cut out by static.

"I never should ha-"

It cuts to static, which seems to stay like that for about a fine 3 seconds. After the distorted static, Darwin is seen hanging from a noose in his room. A note appears to be on the floor, too. Then it cuts to the living room. The family is seen happy and joyful, like some episodes. Gumball said something like 'Can you look for Darwin? I haven't seen him in a while...'

They start looking for him, and they find a VCR tape on the lawn, full of recorded audio of Darwin, sobbing hysterically and saying things to himself, with bursts of static in between. They quickly run up to his room, but the tape freezes when they see his lifeless corpse. They all paused in a face of genuine shock; like something that simply can't be animated. The details were so perfect, the scene was almost impeccable. When the tape resumes, it cuts to his funeral, and somehow, every citizen of Elmore is there, crying. Darwin's body is slowly loaded into its coffin, with Mrs. Watterson sobbing so heavily, it broke my heart to hear it. She then begins to scream as they lower the coffin into the ground, and continues until she can't scream anymore. The episode ends with someone, presumably Gumball, throwing a single rose onto the grave, and an unknown voice says, 'You were my only friend, the only thing I cared for. It's all over now...

I smashed the tape in bits.

I contacted Ben, the creator, about this. He replied with this:

"Daniel, How did you find that tape? I'm so sorry you got involved in it. A worker we fired did it. I'm so sorry. Somehow he hijacked CN and started airing the episode worldwide. People contacted me about this, including you.

I'm very sorry you had to see that.

Best regards, Ben Boquelet"
I had nightmares about Darwin in my room, saying "You are trapped with me. I will not free you."

Damn, I never watched it again.

Don't watch it if you ever find a copy. I FUCKING MEAN IT!
