The Incomplete World Of Elmore

Part 8

~Keane Home

William is seen eating spaghetti and meatballs at the table with Alan and their parents. Alan sits in the middle of them while William is far from the table. Who was eating his food, not caring about what they were talking about?

The room has pictures of the family together. It also showed the eyeball slowly moving away from the family as he became more distant.

Their mom was just like Alan, a balloon, and her husband.

She was a yellow balloon named Jessica, with eyelashes drawn on her, and Dexter was a red balloon with glasses and a mustache drawn on him.

"So Alan, how was your day going"? Jessica asks her son.

"Well, I'm working on the charity helping the needy and the junior scouts on how to start a fire, but only for a campfire." Alan smiled while William had tick marks on his face, overhearing the airhead's do-gooder personality.

The eyeball sat on the chair, using the hand he got yesterday as legs. He opened his eyes to reveal a mouth with teeth as he ate the meatballs and spaghetti.

The red Balloon looks at his other son, seeing that he has a new attachment to him.

"Alan, can you please tell me why your brother is using a severed hand as legs and how he found it?" Dexter asked Alan, who was looking at William as the eyeball glared at him.

"Oh, he was with his friends last night and found that hand on the ground." Alan

Both parents were surprised to hear that their quiet son had found people wanting to hang around with him. Usually, the kids from his school find him creepy, and it is tough for him to communicate due to his inability to speak. This would explain how his mood changed slightly, but he does get out of the house more often over the past few weeks.

"Well, it's good to hear of Billy making some friends at school." Dexter looks at William, whose eye turns red after hearing the nickname his parents give him every time he is home. But then Alan's expression turns from happy to concerned, which gets his parents' attention.

"About his friend's parents. They probably aren't the best influence on Willy. " Alan.

"How so, Alan"? Jessica asked her younger son about this problem.

"The police arrested him and his friends yesterday for vandalism, but it later turned out that another school's troublemaker caused it. I believe the turquoise feline may have assisted this delinquent then."

Both of their parents were shocked when they learned that the older child had been barred. Still, William was getting irritated when he heard Alan was manipulating their parents again like he usually does with his classmates.

"Well, this cannot be done at all. If what you were saying is true, Alan, then this Gumball is a bad influence on him." Dexter.

When William hears this, his eyes start to turn a shade of highlight. The ground started shaking slightly, but it was not noticeable to the balloons.

"I have to agree with you, dear, and our son shouldn't be involved with that very dangerous child." Jessica.

William's eyes then changed to a very crimson red with some cracks after hearing his spineless parents were going along with Alan again for the ninth time.

"I'm glad that both of you understand what's-" Alan is cut off by the other end of the unleashed androgenic wave. The wave shatters the plates and glass, including the table's legs, causing it to fall to the ground. One of the knives hits a family photo, cutting the image of William from his family.
