It was the day before Christmas and I was in Walmart to get gifts for my family. I already knew to get my wife a purse, but I didn't know what my son would like. He is 6 years old and he doesn't use action figures or play games much. I wandered the store, then I came across the video isle. I looked in it and found some kids' shows with all episodes. I didn't know what to get, so I decided to close my eyes and randomly pick one at random. When I was about to pick something up from the shelves, a DVD case dropped into my hand. I opened my eyes to look at it and "Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island" was crudely written on tape on the front in black marker. There was nothing else on the front, so I turned it around. On the back, it said "Join Coconut Fred as he has fun" and also, "$5.00", but written in red marker. I decided that this can't be that bad, so I walked to the cashier to purchase these gifts.
When I got to the cashier, the instant he looked at the Coconut Fred DVD case, he shrieked. The cashier said, "Sir, are you sure you want to purchase this?"
"Yes."
"Your son will die if he watches this, but ok."
And with that, he scanned it through the thing and dropped it in a bag with the purse inside and handed me the receipt. I walked out of the store, but when I glanced back, all the customers and cashiers were looking at me and not moving. I also saw my cashier having an eerie grin on his face.
When I got in my car, I checked if there was a hole in my pants or something that caused them all to look at me, but there was nothing strange about me. I examined the items in the bag and they were all there. Then, I checked the receipt to see if I wasn't scammed or anything, and I found a shocking discovery. The Coconut Fred DVD case was listed as $6.66. I instantly looked at the back of the case and I saw that it still said $5.00 on it. I felt like a sucker as I pulled into my driveway.
I was greeted by my family when I came back and I dropped the bag underneath the Christmas tree, telling them to wait for tomorrow. We all went to our beds, but when I was about to sleep, I heard my son's door creak open and the bag rustling. I figured that he wanted to have his gift early, so I decided to talk to him about it in the morning.
The next morning, I woke up tiredly in my bed. I smelled something terrible in the house. It made me feel bad. I got up and decided to investigate. When I got to our living room, I screamed. My son lay on the couch with blood around his eyes and all around him. A message was written on the wall in his blood, and it looked like my son's handwriting. The message read, "Fred is god."
I started shedding tears as I turned away from the wall. I opened my eyes and saw a scary image on the television. It was a demonic image of a coconut, who I presumably thought was Coconut Fred. I screamed. I ran to my room to find my wife hanging from the ceiling. I screamed again as she wasn't like this when I woke up. On the wall, another message was on it in my wife's blood and handwriting. It read, "Fred is real."
I had enough of this, I had to watch the Coconut Fred DVD to see what this was about. I moved my son's corpse and cleaned up the couch so I could sit on it and watch the demonic Coconut Fred DVD.
When I got to the menu screen. I heard a song that sounded like the theme song play. It said "Coconut Fred Fruit Salad Island" a lot. The menu showed which episodes were viewed and only the first episode was viewed. My son must have died when he watched that episode, so I decided to see what he saw.
Once the episode started up, I saw a demonic Coconut Fred. He was drinking a red drink and there were trees with several hanging bodies in the background. The sky was a demonic shade of red. I squinted my eyes because one of the bodies looked familiar. I cried as I realized it was my wife. A demonic voice said, "You like what you see?"
I opened my eyes and saw that Coconut Fred looked more demonic. "Well, do you?"
"No", I yelled. "This whole situation is messed up."
Coconut Fred laughed demonically as he took another sip out of his red drink. He then walked over to a coffin in the distance. I shrieked. My son was in the coffin. Coconut Fred laughed demonically again. He then said, "Why did you buy the disc? The cashier said your son will die if he watched the disc?"
"I thought that was lies! Why did my wife die though?"
"She got up and was going to get a coffee but she saw her dead son and me on the screen. I told her that her fate is in my hands."
"This is messed up. I am calling the police."
"Just know... Either I get you, or the Emperor will... Either way, your fate is in our hands...", Coconut Fred eeriely said as he took a sip of the red drink, finishing it, and demonically laughed.
I got my home phone out to call the police, but I noticed that all the buttons on it were replaced with a button with "6" on it. I couldn't call 911 like this. This was when I truly realized how real Coconut Fred is...
