A Mythical Journey

The End of GMM

     I am running in a forest, I can't tell if I'm chasing something, or if something is chasing me. I don't know why, but I keep on screaming "Link! Link!" I trip and then I wake up.

     I look at my iPod to check the time. It's past ten. I pull my covers on and give myself an extra  five minutes,  then I push my blankets aside, put on some slippers and go downstairs towards the kitchen. I grab my GMM mug and prepare myself a sugarless coffee. Coffee should always be as dark as the night, and as bitter as wormwood. Then I check if my aunt has any cereal, but I can't find it.

        "Hey Lynn!", Alex yells behind me. "Scared ya?!"

        "Nah, I heard you coming", it's true I have a good hearing, "Where do you keep your cereal?"

        "It's up there" he points to a cabinet in the upper right hand corner of the kitchen, "inside"

     I open the cabinet and my eyes lit up, "You have a whole store of cereal!"

         "I know, we all like a different cereal"

         "But you guys are three, and have" I stop to count the cereal variety, "seven"

         "My mom likes to have a variety to choose from"

    I take Mini Wheats and pour them in a bowl. As I pour some milk in my cereal, my cousin gages. I turn to look at him.

        "Yuck" he wipes his mouth with his shirt. "That's the most disgusting coffee I've ever tasted"

       "Seriously?!" He nodds, so I reply, "then you've never tasted coffee"

       "Yeah I have" he says washing his mouth off.

     I shake my head, "Nope. Coffee should always be as dark as the night, and as bitter as wormwood."

       "Says who?" He asks

       "Says nobody, that's simply how it's supposed to be."

       "You're crazy!"

       "I know"

    I take my food to the table, then I go back upstairs and bring my iPad. I go on to YouTube and click on to Good Mythical Morning. Yesterday they didn't upload a video, so Im a little worried. I almost choked gaging as I checked today's episode, 'Link's Disappeared Mysteriously' is today's new episode. I click play.

     "You sure are weird" my cousin said, "who has coffee and cereal at the same time?!"

      "Don't rub it in my face"

      "Ooooh, what are you watching? " Alex asks as he brings his own bowl of Fruit Loops.

      "Good Mythical Morning"

      "What's that about?"

      "It's a daily talk show with a touch of casual comedy by Rhett and Link, my favorite YouTubers."

      "I've heard of them, can I watch?"

      "Sure" I say half not listening.

      "Link has gone missing." Link's seat is empty and Rhett's voice is too serious, "Let's talk about that."

   Their little intro song plays and then it goes back to the studio.

   

     "I'm not going to apologize for not uploading a video yesterday" Rhett says, "but there is a reason. Yesterday Link did not show up to the studio. We waited, but he didn't come. We tried calling, but we couldn't reach him. I tried calling Christy, his wife, but she said Link had left extra early. I went home to see if maybe he had returned,  but he wasn't there." Rhett pauses and then continues, "To be honest I got pretty angry at Link, and that's rare, but earlier today Christy informed me that Link did not come back home that night. That's right mythical beasts, Charles Lincoln Neal is missing. We already contacted the police and we're currently looking for him. If you see him contact us. We will not be able to post videos until we find him, so this will have to be the end of the season. Now, don't worry,  I'm sure we'll find him. When we do we will premiere our next season. But for now, This is the end of GMM. At least of this particular season." He stood up and the screen went dark. The replay button appeared.

         "Something tells me that this wasn't a joke or something that happens every day." I don't acknowledge Alex's comment because I'm astonished. This can't be true. This can't be happening. Why? Why?!!
