Weeshing Day Horror
In the quiet city of Koon, late afternoon Weeshing Day
celebrants
were horrified to watch their Weeshing Well fall into a large gaping
hole
that had just opened up beneath it. Shortly after that, what can
only
be described as a “scaly demon” appeared beside the hole, snatched up a
4
year old girl, and then disappeared again – presumably it went back
down
the hole and returned to the hellish abode from whence it came.
When Areag Etalewyn heard what had happened, she broke
down
in tears and pleaded that someone find her daughter, Galaleldric, and
bring
her back.
Within about an hour, the Mayor of Koon organized a large
search
party and went down the hole in search of Galaleldric and the demon.
Two hours have passed since the search party left and they
have
not been heard from yet.
Galaleldric’s family is hopeful she’ll be found and
brought
back to them in good health and good spirits.
Ocurd Abecan Hurts Pitching Arm and other man dies - in
Bizarre
Bar Accident
Ocurd Abecan may have to spend the next 3 months on the
sidelines
as he hurt his pitching arm while at a bar yesterday.
Ocurd, the 3rd best pitcher in the Weescawsn Basno league, was
lifting
his two-pint tankard to his mouth at Kren’s Bar & Grille when he
pulled
two muscles in his pitching arm.
The sudden pain and loss of muscle strength caused Mr. Abecan to
drop
his beer – which in turn spilled all over his lap. The surprise
of
the cold and bubbling liquid in his lap caused him to jump up and
accidentally
bump into a passing waiter. The waiter in turn splashed a glass
of
milk he was carrying onto the face of another bar patron.
Unfortunately,
the other bar patron appeared to have a severe milk allergy and
suffocated
a few minutes later when his whole neck and face swelled
up.
The dead man has not yet been identified.
When later asked about the tragedy, Ocurd would only shake his
head
and mourn the loss of two good pints of beer.
Koon Squatters Disease Hits Two Day Before Weeshing Day
As rare as it is to see one person come down with Squatters
Disease,
two people came down with it simultaneously in the late hours of Sep
30th.
Luckily for the current enlarged population of Upper Koon City,
the
stricken were immediately put into solitary confinement - before they
could
spread the disease.
The disease progressed as normal, with general weakness and a
bright
red coloring of the eyes until death took both victims about 2.5 hours
later.
The 2 victims, both visitors to Upper Koon, were incinerated
before
possession could take place.
There hasn’t been an occurrence of Squatters Disease in almost
14
months.
City inhabitants are reminded to stay away from anyone who seems
to
have contracted Squatters Disease. Once a person displays the
“Red
Eye” symptom, they should be considered highly contagious and avoided
at
all cost. Contact city constabulary as soon as you suspect
someone
has contracted the disease.
