Kevin - A Welcome To Night Vale Fan Fiction

Smile

     Kevin woke with a smile.

    He slept with a smile.

     Kevin knew nothing but smiling.

    Kevin needed to know nothing but smiling.

    He knew nothing of... what was the word? He could almost grasp it, but it kept slipping away. Farther and farther from his fingertips.

     Nope.

     There was no such emotion.

     Only happiness.

     Kevin loved to smile. He did it all the time, he chose to be happy because then what else can one be?

    No such thing as otherwise.

     Kevin entered the radio station with a smile. He nodded hello to Vanessa, lying limp next to large, reddish-brown streaks on the wall. He nodded hello to the three Maximo eyes. He beamed hello to Lauren, who was scattering teeth across her desk. Lauren beamed back.

   Kevin smiled at everyone and everything. Enthusiastically, he flipped on his microphone, pushing away a fallen Maximo eyeball.

    Another beautiful day, Desert Bluffs!

   Another day to praise and celebrate StrexCorp Synnernists Inc. All hail the Smiling God!

    We've got wonderful news for our wonderful town. No more bad news. What is bad news anyway? Never heard of it.
Anyway, there's been a death down at Sunrise Hills, what an excitement! Local citizen Tanashi Craig was found at presumably 3am when...

     Lauren watched Kevin report on the news for today, her mind flickering back from this station to another radio station, not far from here. A station rather similar to that of the one he was physically in. Lauren watched the reeducated radio host smile his charmingly bloody smile, reporting with his happy-go-lucky voice and tone. Lauren smiled back from outside the plexiglass. He was ready. He was qualified for the job to be done soon. There was no time to waste.

    ...Until next time!

    Kevin turned the microphone off with his biggest smile yet, and turned to see Lauren beckoning from outside his door. Kevin let her in, and she handed him a cardboard box.

     "Great job today, Kevin! Very productive and happy, just how the Smiling God likes it. Now, there's been reports of a sandstorm coming our way, so if you don't mind moving to a new office..."
