Grim's Twisted Metal Story

Grim’s Twisted Metal P.O.V.  By Deathwish Detour.

Intro:

In here, one could lose track of time. Hours turned into days. Days into years—20 years to be exact. The Asylum. Its worst than Hell but it was safe. If I was to spend eternity in here, I would. I have not much of a choice now. I’ve been banished from The Underworld and I sure as Hell don’t want to stay on Earth. As I thought about it, it wasn’t my fault for me being put in here. It was the fault of those rotten little brats –Billy and Mandy. Well, I guess they’re not so little any more. In here I was at least safe from them but that wasn’t the only reason why I was happy to be here. I knew when the time was right; my “Key” to freedom will arrive.

I knew Calypso for years. Every year, he would hold a contest. A contest where the grand prize was anything the winner asks for. And as for the losers, I would be glad to claim their souls. This year was different. I would enter the contest and claim my prize from Calypso. I usually believe that wishes were trouble, but since I’m out of options.....I can’t refuse.

Middle:

As I drifted away, my nightmares began to come back. Maybe it was because of the anger in my mind which led me to the position I’m at now. It was an ordinary day and I was on my way to claim the soul of a sick hamster in Endsville. It was on that day that my afterlife was changed forever. As I attempted to claim the hamster, the kids who owned it stopped me from doing it. The girl, Mandy, made a deal with me. She offered to play a game of Limbo with me and my prize would be the hamster’s soul and the boy; Billy. If she won, I was doomed to be their best friend for all eternity. Being over-confident, I agreed to play. Unfortunately, I lost to her and was forced to be her slave. I was forced to do her housework and chores. I was also made to give her my scythe for her own amusement. This led to a lot of trouble. I was the laughing stock of the Underworld.
It was bad enough that my own peers were laughing at me but having those 2 kids boss me around was far worst. Anywhere and everywhere I go, those 2 were not far behind and the result....Disaster. I deliberately admitted myself into the asylum. For 20 years, I’ve waited for this chance and now I have it and I’m not going to let it go.

Ending:

The contest was over and I won. I went to see Calypso. There he was sitting on a throne of broken car parts. Then he spoke to me.

Calypso: So, Mr. Reaper, you are the winner of this year’s Twisted Metal Contest. You may now claim your prize.

Grim:  For years, I’ve been tormented by Billy and Mandy. If there is anything I want is to be rid of those 2 forever!!!

Calypso: Really, Grim? I thought you’ve taken them out already....

Grim: What?

Calypso: Billy and Mandy both entered Twisted Metal as well for reasons of their own. But seeing as you are the winner, I’m sure you know that you killed them in the contest. See for yourself.

Calypso pointed behind me. I turned and saw two burning wreckages which were once vehicles that entered the contest. One was an Ice Cream Truck; the very same one Billy was terrified by. The other vehicle was a blood-red car from the 1950’s; the same car that Mandy entered when I last saw her. The kids were finally dead. I couldn’t believe it. I turned back towards Calypso.

Grim: So, I’m finally rid of those kids and I still have my wish, right?

Calypso: Of Course! The rules state that the winner shall claim any prize he or she desires. If your wish was that you wanted the kids dead but you already killed them, then I guess you still have your wish to claim.

Grim: Well, Calypso, for years I’ve been the reaper of souls. Now, I’ve come to realize that I’m not fit to be Death anymore. Perhaps there is someone else who would be a better reaper than me. As my wish, I want you to make someone else be The Grim Reaper and let me lead a mortal life.

Calypso: Granted!

Calypso’s hand began emitting a strange bluish light. Then, the light formed a skeleton-like hand and reached into my body. The pain was unbearable. As it reached into my body, I could feel myself turning into a mortal and the power of the reaper being stripped from my body. After what seemed like an eternity, the pain stopped. I looked at my hands. I couldn’t believe it. I was Human.

Calypso: You are now mortal, Mr. Grim. The torch has been passed.   

Grim: I’m finally free. Thank you, Calypso! Thank you!

Calypso: No, Mr. Grim. I should be thanking you.

Grim: Huh?

I turned to Calypso. He was standing there with a gun in his hand. Before I could say anything, Calypso shot me. I felt the pain. Blood flowed out the wound. I looked up at him. He then shot another ray of energy into the wreckage of Mandy’s car.

Grim: Why......? Why.....?

Calypso: You killed my daughter in the tournament, Grim. If you hadn’t wish for your mortality, you would still be alive right now. However, before you go, I want you to meet the new Reaper.

There was a shadowy figure behind Calypso. From its figure, I could tell it was female and worst of all, I knew who she was.

Grim: M...M...Mandy?

Mandy: I’ll see you in Hell, Grim!

Mandy lifted the scythe and slashed it towards me. The next thing I knew I was in Hell. From the corners of fire and brimstone popped several familiar shapes, followed by a sickening laughter. A laughter that I’ve been suffering from for years. It was Billy.

Billy: Hiya, Grim! We’ve been waiting for you.

I looked around and saw a million Billy clones surrounding me. I turned back to the first Billy. He just looked at me and smiled.

Billy: This is so great. Now, we can all play together forever and ever and ever.

Billy Clones: AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER......................................

Grim: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE END?????
