Prologue

My name is Marshall Teller. Not too long ago, I was living in New Jersey, just across the river from New York city. It was crowded, polluted, and full of crime. I loved it. But my parents wanted a better life for my sister and me. So we moved to a place so wholesome, so squeaky clean, so ordinary that you could only find it on TV–Eerie, Indiana.

It's the American Dream come true, right? Wrong. Sure, my new hometown looks normal enough. But look again. Underneath, it's crawling with strange stuff. Item: Elvis lives on my paper route. Item: Bigfoot eats out of my trash. Item: I see unexplained flashing lights in the sky at least once a week. No one believes me, but Eerie is the center of weirdness for the entire planet.

Well, I also have help from my best friend Simon Holmes, age eleven. Simon's my next-door neighbor. He's lived in Eerie his whole life, and he's the only other person who knows just how freaky this place is. Together, we've been keeping a record of all the stuff that happens around here. We've faced some of Eerie's most bizarre inhabitants and lived to tell about it.

One of the weirdest people we've encountered has got to be Dash X, the prematurely gray-haired kid who can't remember who he is. Sometimes he's joined us against the battle of weirdness. While other times, he's been anenemy himself. I often wonder about this mysterious kid, little did I know I was about to get a closer look into him than planned...

Disclaimer: Ok, everything but the last paragraph is from the tv show/book introduction. Eerie and its universe are owned by the people who created it. Also I don't own any characters except for Becky and Mr. Santini (which are characters I created.) Continue on to the story, please...
