The curtains closed, the lights dimmed. The auditorium slowly fell silent as even the stragglers who sat down to talk more about the spectacle they witnessed had finally lost their desire to stay in a dark, silent place.
Sarge peeked from behind the curtain. He already knew no one was here, but he had to make sure. The audience was entertained, people had laughs. Everyone enjoyed themselves, but Sarge was putting on a face that whole time.
Slowly, he drew the curtain and walked out, cautiously placing his paws down, doing his best to stay quiet. If there was still anyone, he didn’t want them to be aware. He could hear his gentle footfalls as he approached the edge of the stage. He sat himself down and unfastened his bow tie. He sighed, staring down at his feet.
Silence. He felt he needed it right now… but he didn’t want to believe it.
“Penny for your thoughts?” He heard a quiet voice ask.
Looking up, Sarge could see Creature standing next to him. Sarge lowered his posture. “Why do you ask?”
“Because that’s what you’d ask everyone when you wanted to know what they were thinking.” Creature sat himself down and clasped his hands together.
The two sat there in silence for several minutes before Creature spoke up. “Good show tonight. That guy you picked REALLY enjoyed himself, y’know. You should be proud.”
Sarge looked up at Creature. He was unsure what sort of expression he was giving off, but he noticed Creature lean away from him. “You’re not real, Creature…”
“I know.” Creature relaxed his posture and looked away. “But I’m still here, aren’t I?”
“You’re just my imagination….” Sarge looked back down at his paws. “I’m wanting to see Creature… and talk to him… so here you are.”
“I know,” Creature repeated, looking over at Sarge. “I’m just you… projecting your thoughts into someone to have a conversation…” Creature looked away, “because you feel you can’t talk to anyone, even if you know that isn’t true.”
“What else am I supposed to do?” Sarge snarled, folding his arms and looking away. “It’s not like I can actually talk to you… you’re gone.”
“Yes, I am.” Creature nodded. “So many things left unsaid.”
“So many things I didn’t get to do,” Sarge said, shaking his head. “When I ‘blueberrified’ you, Creature, I didn’t think it would be the last thing you’d see from me.”
“You say it like it’s a bad thing,” Creature said.
“It was a gift! You’ve done so many little acts of kindness for me. You drew things for my birthday as a surprise a lot… you even drew a picture of Chomby for me when Daisy died.” Sarge started to choke on his words. His eyes started to sting. “I just wanted to do something for you. You were always so busy, and always working so hard…”
“Again, I say… you make it sound like a bad thing.” Creature sighed.
“But I never got to tell you that! You went above and beyond when you never needed to, and I… I could never repay you.” Sarge felt his voice weaken. He had trouble speaking. “I… um… y-you…”
Sarge felt an empty hand rest on his shoulder. He already knew he was imagining Creature trying to comfort him. Sarge comforted himself this way a lot. In times where he felt the most lonely and no one was around to give him a hug, he would imagine someone he cared about doing so. It wasn’t as good as the real thing, but it was a minor comfort to him. It was enough to allow him to speak.
“You were one of the only people who accepted and appreciated all my ideas…” Sarge lifted a hand to his eyes, feeling them begin to water, “no matter how dark or scary they could be.”
“You’ve got a lot of good ideas, I’m sure you’ll find other people who will like them.” Creature reassured.
“But you had so many ideas, too. I always loved every idea you came up with. Anything you did, I felt like I could relate. It felt… nice.” Sarge’s breathing stuttered as he sobbed for a few moments. “For the first time, I felt like I wasn’t an outsider.”
The two sat in silence. Sarge took off his hat and began to wring its rim in his hands. He finally broke into fits of sobs, unable to speak for several minutes. He squinted his eyes closed and clenched his hat even tighter. “And I… I… I…” He broke down into fits of sobs again.
The empty hand patted his shoulder. “It’s okay, let it out, Sarge.”
Sarge continued to cry for several minutes more until he felt his throat hurt. “I never got to thank you for that….” He felt his lip quiver and he whispered, “I- I never got to tell you goodbye.”
Sarge looked over at Creature. The visage he’d grown to associate with his friend stared back at him with eyes of sadness and concern.
“Sarge…” the visage said.
“You’re not really here…. But this is the only way I can say goodbye to you.” Sarge wiped his eyes again. He turned to the visage and smiled. “Thank you, for being my friend.”
The visage smiled back. “You’re welcome.”
“And Creature?” Sarge asked.
“Yeah, Sarge?” Creature asked.
“I love you. You were a great friend… and I will remember you. Wherever you are now, I hope you are happy, and safe… and comfortable… and know that you are loved.” Sarge sobbed sharply.
The visage looked away, staying quiet. Its smile faded as a tear came to its eye. “Thank you. I needed that.”
Sarge gritted his teeth as he inhaled sharply. Letting out a few sobs he looked back down at his hat, now nothing more than a squished piece of clothing in his hands. “Goodbye, Creature.”
“Goodbye.”
Sarge felt the empty hand lift from his shoulder. Looking over, he was greeted with an empty auditorium again. No one was here but him. That’s how it had always been…
He smiled sadly and wiped the tears from his eyes. Standing up, he grabbed his stuff and walked out. Even though it was short, he felt that… for a moment, he wasn’t alone.
~~~~~
For those who need a TLDR for the story: After Creature passed away, Sarge spends the time after the show when the auditorium is closed to grieve. To do this, he imagines he was talking to Creature, even though he knows it's just him talking to himself.
~~~~~
I wanted to draw something to honor Creature. Things I would've wanted to say to him if he were around. Those who know me know that I love all my friends and wished I could tell them "I love you" more often.... I never got to tell him. This was the drawing I thought of... to help give myself closure, and to say goodbye to him.
Goodbye, Creature. I love you.

Seeing both this picture, and the story behind it...not gonna lie, it made me tear up. Like, cry really hard. I could truly feel what you felt, truly sense what was going through your mind.
offers you the biggest gentlest hug
I am just sorry, bud. I know how much that hurts, I lost somebody dear to me as well all a sudden...
I am here if you want to talk with anybody.

I know how you feel. My BFF went on a vacation trip with his parents, and the plane crashed. He didn't survive, and neither did his parents. Hope you get better soon, man. No one deserved that.
But, my dad told me something. If someone very loved dies early, there's always a chance for a second life. So maybe, it's possible that now he's in a new body with a new life to explore. Just think about that.
Overall, I wish you the best of luck, and hope you can recover soon. Good luck man.

This is beautiful Sarge. You've shown us your heart and I can feel the love you had for him. I woke up early today, thinking of him, and seeing your your art as of of my first notifications immediately had my crying for him, and for you.
He was gone too early, and the hole he leaves in our hearts is immense. Only time can heal this hurt, but if you ever need someone to talk to about this, I would be more than happy to talk and share his memory.

Thank you for the offer to talk if I need. I do appreciate it.
And yeah, this story was kinda how my emotions played in my mind. It felt good to get them out in writing.

I'd be happy to Sarge. Silly as it is, your cookies actually got me through a lot. I'd love to do that for you in some small way, if you ever need it.
I'm glad you did. To me, a large part of the pain is just because I didn't get to say a goodbye, or a thank you. A goodbye, even one within your mind, is good, and I thank you for being brave enough to share it with us all.

This is a very sweet and touching story you did. If creature was here right now, he would burst into tears with joy after reading this honor for him.
Yet no matter where creature is here now, he is proud that you did this for him. As your art, stories, characters and worlds will never be forgotten, loved and enjoyed by many in the community.
As me and many enjoyed this story too !

Thank you, CK-19! I'm glad you were able to enjoy the story and art! <3
I did not know he passed away. This is such a touching tribute to him. I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend.
That's hard to tell from me.
because it's actually true that our best friend was gone forever but Creatureunknown can tell us that he still with us but we could only imagine as he was there...
It's a sad story that the loss of our loved one could feel the emotion so much.

Yeah. The emotions I feel and the visage of Creature in the story are usually how I cope. I imagine I was talking to him so I can say a proper goodbye. Though it hurts, it feels better knowing I could at least say something... if not only to an imagination of him.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have always loved Creature's artwork and I was shocked to hear that he is now gone. I wish I could do something to help you feel better. I will eventually make tribute art of Creature Unknown as well. I will always be here for you, even if you don't know who I am.
Thank you, Wolfie. His passing was definitely very sudden. I was in shock when I first heard it.
And that is very sweet of you to make tribute art for him. I'm sure people would appreciate that.
And that is very sweet of you to make tribute art for him. I'm sure people would appreciate that.
I am not done drawing it yet. I have always loved the artwork that the two of you have made. I will do whatever I can to help.
I wish I could give you a big hug, I know you're going through a very rough time right now. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for the sentiment. It's a bittersweet happiness that I got an opportunity to share this.
Oh....Sarge....🥲😭😭😭
*comes over and gives you a big squishy bear hug*
Both the artwork and story were so incredibly heartfelt. Such a beautiful tribute to creature and all he meant to you.
*hugs you deeply*
I know that I have only been talking with you for a short time, but I can offer this: if you ever need someone to talk to or even maybe to bounce ideas off of, my door is always open.
I hope that offer doesn't seem like I would try to replace Creature, because I would never want to do that. I just want you to know that you're not alone. Okay?
*gives another hug*
You don't have to answer right away. But I just wanted to let you know that the option was there my friend. ;3

Thank you for the sentiment and the offer, Stardragon.
And it's alright, whenever I think about losing a loved one, I know that it's impossible to really replace them. They'll still be there in your heart, it's just that your capacity to love and care for other people grows.

I am so sorry for you loss. Losing a friend is a really hard thing to experience. Creature passing so suddenly absolutely shocked me. I loved his art and he always brought a smile. It is soul crushing to see him having to leave so early. But his legacy will always stay and our memories of him will be close to our hearts.
Time will partially heal the part we lost and until then we have to stay strong. I believe Creature was really happy to have known you and everyone else. He would be so happy seeing these tributes of him!
Sending you the biggest of hugs!

Thank you very much, Championer. <3
Yeah, I think all the pieces people have drawn for him are very touching. He's certainly touched many people's hearts whether directly or indirectly.

Man seeing the Story behind it, just makes me wanna curl up and cry you have my deepest condolences may he rest in power I’ll miss him.😔
Thank you for the sentiment. And my apologies for the story. It was my uncensored thoughts on how I cope with things... so it may be a tad dark and sad.
Darn ninjas chopping onions :( CU was a good guy and will be missed.
This is a very wonderful follow up, Sarge. I also had a moment where I sat down with 'Creature' in my mind. It just seems like there's never enough to say to someone before they're gone from our lives.
I care about you man
I care about you man
There never is. It's always a thought or a feeling that you wished you told them before they were gone. They pass so suddenly, so you never feel like you had the time to say goodbye.
And I always wanted for people who passed away to know they are loved... that's something I wish I could tell them.
And thank you Artie, I appreciate your caring for me. <3

This hits close to home I went through it with the lose of my friend/ partner when he passed. Not getting to say goodbye or tell someone how they helped change your life is rough and can weigh on your mind. What counts the most is that we take the positive moments we shared with them and we keep their memory alive in spirit and we take lessons we learned from them to heart and keep them in our heart. While in our heart their memories wont fade.
*Bear hugs*
This was a sweet and sad piece dude I respect this piece I still can't believe that is gone they will be missed

Yeah, a lot of the times, and even though people offer to talk to me, there's a strange sense of isolation that I notice happens to me. I dig deep into my own mind and sit there to think, usually.... So that's one reason I came up with talking to people through my imagination. It's just me talking to myself, but I found it helps me out a lot.
I am always open to bounce ideas off of if you ever need a ear to listen. I could also learn a lot of DnD advice from you as well if you ever want to talk feel free to ask. Keep being strong and awesome big guy
Thanks!
And if you have questions about DnD, I'd be happy to help.
And if you have questions about DnD, I'd be happy to help.

I'm almost never there to hear the full story of when people passed away, so even tho i dont what really happened, id rather give you my condolences and tell you that yur always welcome to give me a call in the dms in case yur in need of it, I didn't knowxCreatur Unknown well, but i did know of them... and i'm really sorry for this loss.. but i believe he's in good company with god. Religious or not, i know he's gonna be watching over you. Guh'd story btw, very touching and gave me feels.
Thank you for reading and thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. <3
I have a ritual, which I celebrate on the birthday of my best friend.
He loved scotch, and he loved to be among friends - my pal, buddy and blood-brother Lüder.
On his birthday, I sit in silence with a glass of scotch and cheer to a friend no longer among us. Just this year, I rejoined the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief in his honor, doing what he loved the most - being among friends.
I know he would have loved this, we were close friends, and he too, did a lot of good things for me, I was so shocked when he died suddenly and unexpectedly, and my grief was beyond my own reasoning.
I still do miss him, a lot - but I know that he would appreciate it, that I do his job on the Agency - to honor him. And I can actually feel him, in my heart, and in my memories.

It's a beatiful piece.
I know he appreciates it and every beautiful moment you had with each other

Hey. I know I'm pretty much no one special in all this, but I'm sorry for your loss. It's pretty heavy to deal with the passing over a friend even one who ment alot to you. I didn't know Creature that much like how you guys did, all I know is that I have been following his art and work for the longest time now. I've seen the type of person he is, and all I gotta say is that he knows how much he ment to you, he knows how much you're thankful. And you know what, he's thankful and happy for you too. I just know he is man. I just wanna make sure you know that, don't ever think you failed to tell him anything. He knows that he mattered to you, and you matter to him. I'm sorry for your loss , I hope everything gets easier for you and everyone else.
Thank you for your kind words, TEC. It's certainly something that'll take time to get better.
I’m not the best person with words or consoling others but I’m really sorry for your loss he was someone that I looked up to for a long time he would be proud of how he influenced your life and that of so many others may he rest in power
I can honestly feel the emotion behind this. It’s upsetting that he’s gone. While I never got to know him, I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about Creature. The fandom lost a real treasure…
Also, you are not alone, Sarge. Even when times are at their worst, there are always people there who love and support you. As well as the ideas you come up with. Everyone is with you, and hoping the best for you! ^^
The picture is heartbreaking, and the story even more so. One can really feel the emotion come out in both. The art is very well done.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I went through a very similar thing with the passing of Draelen over 9 years ago. I was a non-furry internet friend of his for about a decade. When I found out he was a furry, I decided I was going to out my dragon side to him. I was about a week away from doing so, then, he unexpectedly departed.
Perhaps if I didn't have that work training course that week, I could have messaged him sooner. Perhaps I could have connected with him on an even deeper level than the connection we already had. That painful sting of realizing there was no real way to know that I would run out of time to send my message, and now knowing I will never be able to. I unfortunately know exactly how it feels...
This is what I love so much about this community. Yes, the art/stories/etc here are ummm... exciting, but it's much more than that. We all care so deeply about one another. We consider every other furry like us a rare and precious gemstone.
Your submission has reminded me to tell my friends I love them more often, because you just never know.

That is a very well thought out remark. I am sorry for your loss of your friend those years ago.
And I'm glad you get the opportunity to tell your friends you love them. Heaven knows we all need to hear that every so often. </3

This is a beautiful poignant tribute to him. I cried when reading the story to it.
He was a kind man. He loved round things and loved his friends strongly. I didn’t talk with him much but I appreciated his work and he was one of my favourite artists.
I’m sad he’s gone. I cried so hard at this but it felt cathartic letting the tears flow. You’re also a good dude and a great artist.
I’ll miss him so much. I hope he found peace.

Thank you. Writing the story made me cry, too. It was hard to deal with and it hurts still. My hope is that, wherever he's at, he's at peace, too.
I hope so too. He died so suddenly too. When I heard about his death, I was shocked. I was worried he did something drastic but no, he just passed of natural causes at such a young age.
He loved a lot of people unconditionally. I can tell how much he adored his friends, family and fans. He will be forever remembered by so many in the fandom for his amazing art but also for his big heart.
I imagine he cared for you just as much as you did for him. May he rest in peace.

And I heard you read the story on stream with Artie, and it was touching to hear you read it. He would be very proud of you <3

Hey Sarge, I know you might not know who I am or anything but... Words don't even begin to describe what I feel looking at this. I mean not in a bad way, I mean as I didn't personally know Creature but I was someone who loved his art and Smasher & the will o' the Thiccs. When I got the news that day, it felt like I'd been shot and was just registering the pain. There's so much to say, so much left unsaid.
Even though I never knew him, I could tell he was a very sweet guy from what he drew and those he interacted with. Someone who knew what to say and was kind to those around him, even those who he never knew. He was a talented artist, a interesting game maker, and a great friend.
Reading this story and the drawing linked to it has me in tears as I know the pain of loss and the grieving that follows. I'm sorry that he's gone now, I pray that he's in a better place now. As for you, I know you may not know me but I hope that you're okay. It may not be much but it's the best I can do for now. Big fox hugs. I'm here if you need someone to talk to or a friend in general.

That is very kind of you, Beta.
I had been thinking about him a lot recently. There are some parallels between what happened then and projects I am working on now that just make the thoughts all the stronger. But yes, there is a lot I wish I could've said to him, but I know I cannot. I, too, pray that he is in a better place. All the same, thank you for your condolences.
Your words of kindness are truly appreciated. And thank you for reading the story. <3

No problem Sarge. I know how it feels to lose someone as well. It happened with GhostBlackBurn, someone who was a inspiration to me. He was a good artist as he did some amazing art then in September 2021, he was gone... He never knew me, nor did I know him personally but it still hurt to see him go. I pray that he's in a better place now as well.
And yeah, same here. It's been strong recently but so is my determination to remember him and to keep going strong in his name alongside so many others. He maybe gone but never forgotten and even now, a part of him still resides here in the fandom because of him. And I'm willing to do my best to keep it going.
I know this is emotional for ya as well as it has for me. It has me tearing up still but I'm starting to calm now and have something in mind to pay tribute to him that I intend to complete as I started it and won't stop till it's done. But yeah, I hope you feel better man and that today is a great day/night for ya. <3
