How Sylar Started Brain-Eating

One afternoon at the Sylars' residence. Mr Sylar wuz fixing stuff, broken stuff, including the car, while Mrs Sylar wuz cooking dinner. Their little son headed to the tv after a rough day of helping his dad fixing clocks. He tuned in to his favorite channel with zombie movies and sat tight. Then he ate his dinner and asked an unexpected question, like,

"Mommy, mommy, can I eat brains?"

of course, she replied, "No, Gabriel, we're human. How did you think of such a thing like that? You've been watching too much zombie movies"

"No I wasn't!" replied little Gabriel, then asked his dad instead.
"Daddy, daddy, can I eat brains?! They look tasty!"

His dad agreed with his mom, like all husbands agreeing to their wives usually. But their little son didn;t give up, for he's alwahs been worshipping his zombie movies like Marilyn Manson worshipped Satan. And one day, as he asked his dad the same question, 1 month later, after dinner... his father replied.
"THAT'S IT, YOUNG MAN. YOU'RE GROUNDED!"

Gabriel turned to his mom, which replied, "I'm afraid I have to agree with your father, honey. From now on, no more zombie movies and/or, mentioning to us about EATING BRAINS! Now go to bed, it's 9. You got school tomorrow."

And the little boy sulkily dragged himself to bed, thinking of eating his own folks' brains.

The next day at school wasn't so bad. Gabriel managed to forget everything as he joined his little buddies Peter, Isaac and Mohinder, the science geek. It was recess and they were chilling in the garden.

"Why the long face?" asked Peter.

"I'm grounded." replied Gabriel. "For asking my mom n dad if I can eat brains."

"Technically, you can't really eat brains, well, human brains," Mohinder started explaining, from a book he read. "Well you can, but it's gonna do massive harm to your system, like blah blah blabbity blah..."

As little Mohinder explained everything he knew to his little friends, little Isaac, being an artist, started smearing paint all over the school garden with leftover paint he saved during art class. Suddenly, he found something weird among the trees.

"Guys, check it out!" he exclaimed. "A dead squirrel!!"

The other three were impressed. The dead squirrel gave the little boys ideas. "I cud show this to Nathan! Too bad he's sick n mom hafta make soup for him all day!" complained Peter, jealous of his brother's chicken soup breakfast. "Well I could paint pink all over it & stuff it in Simone's underpants!" sneered Isaac, thinking of bullying someone he secretly had a crush on. "She's gonna think she gave birth to a squirrel... wait I need more red... BLOOD RED!" "Guys, guys, I think the science lab needs more dead specimens! Lets juz keep it for the school" suggested Mohinder. "Or maybe I can show it to my dad..." While the other 3 blabbed about their weird ideas, Gabriel, who was left out, had a better idea of his own. He picked up the dead squirrel, cut its head with a scalpel he stole from the science lab, and cheekily pulled the stuff inside its head. When his little friends turned to check on the squirrel... they were dead shocked. The squirrel wuz beheaded, and they found Gabriel chewing something pink and squishy, with blood all over his face.

Terrified, Isaac screamed... "MISS TEEEEEACHERRR!!!!... GABRIEL JUST ATE A DEAD SQUIRREL'S BRAAAAAAIN!!!!"

A teacher, who was passing by, heard his cry and immediately told Gabriel to spit the squirrel brain out, then dragged him to the principal's office. Ten minutes later, after health and sanity inspections, the headmaster yelled,
"DEEEEEETENTION!!!!!!!
His scream could be heard if you were in Neptune. That noon poor little Gabriel left the school in shame. Though his little friends tried cheering him up n stuff, it didn't work. It didn't cover the fact that his parents had to be called in. Yes people, blame the zombie movies for it all, or blame the little guy. But seriously, it was just inspiration after all, and kids are easily inspired, and sometimes they take it seriously, and sometimes, well, the inspiration sank so deep inside them, flowing through their veins that make it so hard for them to forget it, and stayed with them until forever.

Years later, the world was terrorized. people were afraid. One of the causes was revenge. Or hatred. Or juz plain "I wanna be special" and stuff. A grown-up Gabriel Sylar. Single-handedly killed artist Isaac Mendez, the one who told the teacher what happened at school years back. Sylar was also reportedly killed the famous father of Mohinder Suresh. And everytime he killed them he ate their brains. The delicious power within. Like those zombies from thoe movies he used to watch. Yes, people, REVENGE. He was accused to explode and cause millions of deaths, although the real truth was it was gonna be Peter Petrelli, the one who's gonna save the world, while his brother's gonna take care of his explosion. (Well, technically, Hiro Nakamura stabbed Sylar in the end and Nathan dragged Peter to the sky 2 help him explode, n Claire Bennett played an important role of healing shit too, but, y'know all the rest...) whut wait, am I retelling the whole episode's ending? Oh well, SORRY. Well at least, the main point is, look wat happened. Look what inspiration did to our little (well, WAS little) killer. Well at least the world's saved for now.

And they all live happily ever after... NOT!

Ah crap... just another lousy ending.
