Meet Edward Silicle

Meet Edward Silicle

Edward Silicle was a man of few words. If you asked the people around him they'd say the exact same thing. In fact, the only time he spoke was when he answered a question of his few friends. Mostly questions to do with math ,which was odd since he was terrible with math as a child. That didn't stop him from learning though, and soon everyone asked Edward everything. Edward had a simple job as an Artist. He didn't like the thought of work, but if the work was doing something you loved then what's the work at all? He loved the fact that he could draw what he felt, thought, and saw and get paid for it. Most people never knew that he had feelings or a passion for art, they just thought he had a boring job like an IRS agent or something. Even though he was an Artist with smarts, people never really noticed him. It was always like that though. It started in School, which isn't surprising since school is terrible, when everyone started to forget who he was.They knew his name, but just ignored him until he had 1-4 friends.

As he would think about this, he thought to himself, "Well...It's not ALL bad I guess...I mean...At least I have a few friends.". That's what he always thought, he always tried to find the good in things like that. Why?, Because that's the kind of man that Edward Silicle was. You might think people ignored him because of how he acted, but maybe it was how he looked. Edward had slick black hair that would stick up at the top, and he had the kind of pale blue eyes that would sort of bulge out. To put an image in your head of how he looks now as an adult, he kind of looked like Tape face except without the tape and he never wears black. Edward ignored this though. He thought the way he looked gave him character. He thought that's what made him different. His friends agree with this statement. You might be wondering who are his friends, well that's easy. His friends are Surlie Bennet, Stuart McCoy, Jayden Foster, and Shiata natasaki. They would call Edward "Eddie.
This is what THEY sort of looked like. Surlie looked like Mary Jane Watson from "Spiderman". Stuart looked like an adult human version of Simon. Jayden looked like Mark Foster from the band "Foster the people". And lastly, Shiata looked like a Female version of Choromatsu from the anime "Osomatsu-san". They've been friends ever since Middle School.
They made their own club called,"The look a likes". Few people joined, but that didn't matter. Anyway, back to Edward since that's who this about. Some might say Edward was a little naive, they were right to think this. For he WAS a little naive, but other then that he was extremely average. Sometimes he would try to convince people that he wasn't at all average, but of course failed at his will. Oh, the things that he would always fail at, being extra-ordinary, Talking to girls, and of course dancing. You should see how he dances, he flails his arms around and kicks his legs. He also has strong belief in superstitions. Once, he broke three mirrors and had bad luck for twenty-one years. Yet, despite all these pros and cons, it was still Edward. The most strangest, and the most average man you could ever meet. Edward knew about all that they called him, though he never really cared. He never cared about how people thought he was strange. He never once thought of it at all, not once.

This writing style kind of reminds me of the author of Freak the Mighty. I really like this story, btw.
