Red Is All I See, Who Could Blame Me?

The original cover icon.

Red Is All I See, Who Could Blame Me? is a one-chapter Ed, Edd n Eddy fanfiction starring Eddy's brother, named "Terry".

The story is set in the past and portrays his feelings about having Eddy around. Now that he's no longer an only child and his parents prefer his baby brother over him, he feels abandoned. After reminiscing about the good times he used to have with them, he comes to the conclusion Eddy needs to disappear in order to get things back to normal.
His parents catch him in the act of holding a heavy toolbox over his head and punish him by locking him up in the basement; which becomes his new room.

It was one of the stories submitted for the second fanfiction contest at The3Eds ("Fanfic of the Season"), and therefore was only visible for registered The3Eds users. The contest asked users to include the word "red" in the title as a rule.

The story was published on April 26, 2011, but never backed up anywhere else on the internet, causing it to become lost after the closing of The3Eds. The artwork that came with it was included in a mass-dump submission at Deviantart on May 19.

Quotes

Below are the only preserved excerpts:

Narration from Terry's viewpoint: "His mother picked up the plastic head and replaced the body Eddy was still holding onto with a rattle, which seemed to soothe him just as well.
Terry looked at him with a mixture of anger and sorrow in his eyes. If he was just as satisfied with his own rattle, then why did he had to give up his favourite toy! He couldn't believe this, Rifle Guy was gone. His mother knew how much he meant to him, but Eddy was free to take away all things he loved. As long he had this lazy smile on his face, all was good. But nobody cared about his feelings."
