The Loud House: Enough Is Enough

Have you ever heard of this show called "The Loud House"? The little series where a middle child, Lincoln Loud, has to survive a family of ten sisters? Yeah, that show. Well, what if I told you that I found an unreleased, forbidden episode?

It's a bit of a long story. I was surfing the web, and came across this website of salvaged media known as "Digital fossils". It was a website that carried strange, lost pieces of media that were either phone calls, security footage, Images, or deleted scenes of movies. They were ordered as "Fossil -" and then followed by a uppercase word with a few numbers. These words were sometimes nonsensical and unrelated to the website entry, and sometimes they made sense. For example, Fossil - DOG 807, and Fossil - HELP 9482.

I don't know how the website recovered these pieces of lost media. However, I stayed silent about that. I didn't work on the website anyway. However, as I scrolled down after seeing some entries, I found something that caught my eye.

Fossil - LOUD 11

It was rather interesting. It had a word that reminded me of the ones from earlier that were randomized, but it had 11 after it. It reminded me of someone familiar. Lincoln loud. I clicked on the link, and saw this description of the entry, and it did get my expectations up.

''This is a lost episode of The Loud House, which is titled as "Enough Is Enough". It was meant to be the finale of the 3rd season, but scrapped after it's production was done. Chris will be planning another season 3 finale at the moment. However, this replacement is reasonable. This episode was lost for being too disturbing and dark for the series. Viewer discretion is advised.''

I was curious. I wondered why would this be, for a show like The Loud house to have such an episode like this. So after a little read, I started the episode. The intro was short, just the Logo with a pastel red-tinted color for 5 seconds before the title card came up.

Oh boy, the description wasn't wrong.

The top rectangle had a black background with white fog flowing across the left of it, with centered text saying "Enough Is Enough". The bottom bubbled showed who made the episode as well. which was the same as the first two seasons. The music was a low, rumbling noise that was a little ambient, something that you may hear in a horror game.

The episode began with the outside view of the house, as it sometimes did. The music was absent, like the beginning of "Brawl in the family". It cut to Lincoln watching the Television, instead of playing video games like he usually does. At least he was chilling, though.

"Don't you just hate living with 10 sisters? Well, sometimes I do." He said. I saw his smile turn upside down. "But on rare occasions, I go a little too far. I wish that they would just leave me alone, but I can't hurt them, they're my siblings! I want to love 'em, but the things they do are like a setback for me." Lincoln here sounded a little more serious than what I expected.

"Hey bro!" Luan said, as she appeared next to Lincoln in the next shot. "What did platypus say before leaving the bar? Put it on my bill!" Lincoln frowned as she laughed. "Yes, Luan, pretty funn-" "Do you want to smell my flower?" "I'm not falling for-" Luan's flower sprayed water on Lincoln's face before he could finish what he was saying. "Okay, Luan, that's-" "Do you want some of my banana cream pie?" Luan said before slamming it on Lincoln's face.

I wondered why the description said that this episode was too dark. Luan's making so many jokes that I couldn't really believe it. Lincoln facepalmed in dissatisfaction. "Stop Luan, you're not making-" "What do you call a boy who's completely white?... A dough boy!" Luan laughed for a bit, but one shot later, Lincoln slid his hand off of his face, revealing his angry eyes.

"''Enough... is enough..." ''Lincoln said furiously as he grabbed Luan by her shoulders. "Wow, nice grip, bro! You SHOULDer work out at the gym!" Luan laughed at her little joke.

Then something happened. It took me back ajar with shock and terror of what I was witnessing. It felt as if I was hit by a train. Lincoln, with his fury, slammed Luan's head against the wall, bruising her and knocking her out. A low, ambient tune played in the background. Lincoln gasped and stared at the crack that he made, and then at Luan's purple-bruised, unconscious body. He looked at his hands in fear. "Wh... What have I done?... I've never done something like this before..." He looked back at Luan. "But this... made me feel so alive... For some reason, I've never felt this good in a while... I know just what to do..."

It cut to black for 3 seconds, transitioning to Lori texting on her phone, possibly to Bobby. "Hey Lori, can you drive me to the comic store?" "Ugh, just do it yourself or get your mom, Lincoln." Lori left the room, and Lincoln looked at her phone, glaring as he planned his next wipeout. One shot later, Lori was seen walking into her room when-

"LINCOLN, LET GO OF MY PHONE, RIGHT N-" Lori was hit on the head by her phone, as it broke with the shattering of glass. Lincoln walked over to her body, and looked down on her. "This is for smashing my VR console, teenage brat." Lincoln said with silent anger as it cut to Lori's lifeless body. Her phone was shattered, with bits of glass scattered across her face, being cut across some places. She was bleeding across her face, and she had a red bruise on which her phone hit her. I was shocked to see the middle child go on such a killing spree like this. "Why was this made?" I thought to myself. It cut to black, yet again, to change to a different scene, taking place in the back yard.

"Hey Lincoln, wanna wrestle?" "Sure, why not, Lynn? I'll bet I win this time!" I knew this was going to be no wrestling match, but I kept on watching to see where it would go. As Lincoln was wrestling with Lynn, he got behind her, and shortly after, cut to a close-up of Lynn's eyes. "Come at me bro-" Lynn's anticipation was cut short when she not only widened her eyes, but gagged. I knew something went wrong. The dark tune grew louder. It cut away from the closeup to show Lincoln choking her 13 year-old sister from behind, as she gripped his hands to break free. It was useless for her to escape. It cut to Lynn's point of view as she was turned around, face to face with Lincoln.

This is when I felt like I was going to faint. Lincoln's face looked menacing, cold, and possessed at this point. His eyes were were bloodshot, his pupils were larger and his skin was a tad bit darker. Plus, the art style had a major upgrade, which made it worse. His face looked like an owl's. In Lincoln's pupils was the reflection of his choking sister, Lynn. I watched in shock as her vision went blurry, and her eyelids opened and closed. By the time she had her eyes shut, she was done. It was over for her. The gloomy music stopped.

The next shot went to Lincoln sitting in the dark, with Lynn's body next to him. A different low tune played. Lincoln looked at his sibling's body with a pleasured look on his face. After 30 seconds, he spoke.

"Sleep tight, Lynn. You're free." I got chills as he said those words. Lincoln had snapped, and he was no longer the man with a plan. He was now a corrupt soul. "I wonder who's next for the axe..." He wondered to himself, as he looked up. With a planning smile, thoughts came to him. Clips in B&W played of his victims. Lincoln pulled Leni closer to him with a pair of scissors in his hand, and glared at Lola with a bat in his hand. He was seen smashing Luna's guitar on her face, and about to set Lucy on fire. It cut to black afterwards. After that, it was shown that one week had passed, and it was dark again. Lincoln was staring at the bodies of her now-dead sisters, which were under his bed. "My job is done. All I need is one more... but who is it?..." He said, looking around.

"Yes... it must be me... there is something that I must do." Lincoln said as he looked down. As it cut to black for 10 seconds, Lincoln was now seen hanging from the ceiling, his back turned against the camera. I felt bewildered. All of the Loud siblings are dead, all because Lincoln had snapped. It faded to black, indicating the end of the episode. The credits had an eerie, ambient tune, and the background was the same white fog from the title card-black background and moving left, but it lasted a little longer. As the credits stopped, so did the player.

It was all over, but questions still rang through my head. Why was this made? What happened that led Chris Savino, the creator of the show, to make this? However I knew that some things, like my questions should be left unanswered. So I left my thoughts alone.

I had some nightmares of Lincoln, standing there with his cold, angry, bloodshot eyes, and detailed look. He did nothing. He just watched me as I slept. I always turned on my lights after those nightmares happened. I didn't want him strangling me, slamming me against the wall, whatever he could do to end my life. I never gone back to Digital Fossils for over a week because of that episode.
