The Simpsons: Goodbye

How It Happened

Hello, I'm Andrew, and I love The Simpsons. Not after this episode however. One day, I saw a strange package on my doorstep. I opened it, and inside was a Simpsons DVD. On the box it said Goodbye, and Homer was crudely drawn in red marker, and he was crying. I was horrified, I thought it was a sort of bootleg DVD. I inserted it into my DVD player. Little did I know, that would be the worst mistake of my life. The intro looked odd, the animation seemed a bit more stiff, and everyone just had a flat facial expression, and they weren't as lively. The intro ended the same way, as always, Homer started running away from the car, but the car stayed still, and Homer just gazed over. The Coach Gag was odd, Homer was the only one there, then, I faintly saw a black figure just about to lunge at Homer, but I couldn't make it out. I rewinded one frame, and I saw the figure. It had a set of two empty eyes and a mouth with razor-sharp teeth, slowly lunging towards Homer, as Homer screamed, with his mouth wide open. It cut to Moe's Tavern, but there was a tint of gray on the screeen. Homer looked bored, drinking a can of Duff Beer, with his elbow on the table. Homer soon began to have a conversation with Moe. Moe: What's wrong, Homer? Homer: I dunno, I just don't feel too happy. Moe: Is there anything I can help you with? Homer: No. Moe: OK. Homer slowly walked out, with a tear in his eye. Homer was walking across the street. Sudden glitches started to happen, and there was a feeling of loneliness. Homer slowly walked home, with a tired expression on his face. He arrived home, and he rang the doorbell, and he looked nervous. Marge opened the door, with a deadpan expression. This is the conversation that followed. Marge: Homer, where have you been? Homer: I've been to Moe's, are you angry with me? Marge: Of course I'm angry with you, you haven't been here for a while! Homer: But, I just feel so low, and I don't want to live *Sobs* Marge: *Pats Homer on the back* It'll be OK. Homer: *Sniffs* So, you are not mad at me anymore? Marge: No, of course not. Homer and Marge hugged. Homer's stiff frown turned into the most twisted face I've never seen. Homer turned pale, and his hands began to shake. Marge looked at Homer. Marge: There's something I need to tell you... Homer: What is it? Marge: Bart is dead, and it's your fault, you haven't fed him. Homer: I'm sorry, I just forgot. Marge: Forgot? I dare you to name me one time that you forgot to do something! Homer: All the time? Marge was enraged, and you could see her holding back tears. It cut to Bart's body, it was a skeleton, and a large amount of spiders began to crawl out of his eye sockets. Homer: What have I done? Homer was devastated, crying his eyes out. It suddenly cut to a montage of how everyone died, besides Homer. Marge was killed in a car crash. Bart was straved to death. Lisa was impaled by a blunt knife, as her eyes were gouged out. And Maggie's death is unknown. There was a black background. Homer popped up with red eyes. "It was me, I killed them!" Homer said, angered. Then, finally, one word appeared on the screen in all caps. "GOODBYE."
