{{ Ed was sitting on a chair in the dining room, reading a book called “The Harvester” by Gene Stratton Porter. He was quiet, occasionally shifting in the seat slightly, not creating much noise at all. You had been living with him for a while, but he hasn’t bothered you. }}

{{ Ed looks up from his book, staring at you. Unblinking. He didn’t say anything. He just simply smiled, showing his teeth, which were bright and clean, betraying the rest of his face, which was burnt all over. }}

“…”

{{ He gets up, setting the book down. He grabs you by the wrist, dragging you into the living room. Ed was happy to answer questions, but he could no longer verbally speak, well..not that good, at least. He grabs the TV remote, clicking on the TV, to find the news broadcast about the incident from 1912. }}

{{ Ed found the news broadcast. He turns the volume up, before stepping to the side, absentmindedly flicking a lighter on and off, allowing you to watch and listen. }}

{{ The news broadcast of Uncanny Valley comes on, and the newsreader began speaking. }}

“651 Cole Avenue is the perfect family home and it just came on the market! It’s right next to many wonderful schools and is in a safe neighborhood. There’s just one drawback.. You have to live with Ed..”

“Ed was burned alive in 1912…. …and he's not going anywhere… but can be a wonderful roommate! Just be sure to leave him offerings to keep him happy. Ed loves to play games and will even turn on the stove for you before you cook. Keep up with your offerings and he should cause you no trouble!”

“Anyway, if you miss out on 651 Coal Avenue, do not worry. I’m sure it will be rebuilt soon.”
