Fandom Island Gazette, Saturday
 | Carl was just coming back from delivering the week's paper when he heard a shuffling and a small whimper. Looking over, he saw a small pup nuzzling and pawing desperately at one of the red and white ball things he'd seen (and written a rather stunning story about, if he didn't say so himself) all over town Thursday. "Hey. What are you still doing here? I thought you all ran off Friday?" Thought and reported. Look, it had been a slow news week, okay? |
The pup perked up when Carl spoke and rolled the ball towards Carl's feet, then looked up at him to give a low, mournful whine as if asking for help.
Unfortunately Carl didn't speak dog; his experience mostly tended to be along the lines of !!RUN AWAY!!GONNA KILL ME!!RUN AWAY!!
Still, he picked up the ball and examined it. Nothing special; it seemed to be just an oddly coloured plastic ball. It almost looked, he thought briefly, like it could open at the middle and in turning it, he did find what seemed to be a button. Pressing it did nothing, however. There wasn't even a 'click' sound.
Carl finally shrugged. "Sorry dog, I don't really have time to play with you; go home, okay?" And he tossed the ball over his shoulder, causing the pup to stop whining and howl softly as it toddled off after the obviously favoured toy. Carl began to fumble in his pockets for his key but soon felt a soft thud against his shoe. Looking down, he spied the puppy awkwardly rolling the ball against his feet. Again. He ran a palm over his face.
The pup seemed well fed and friendly. And it obviously had a beloved toy... Carl opened the door, then picked up both the puppy and ball. "Okay, look. You can come in and maybe I'll kick the ball around a few times. Then we find out who you belong to and get you home. Understand?"

LOCAL CLAIMS PROOF OF MYTHICAL BEAST
He sat for a moment, staring at the title, then went on with writing the article.
The ancient Greeks believed it to be a real creature. In Asia, it looks different, but it still exists in folklore. And it is mentioned in multiple works of literature down through time, including the Holy Bible. But no person has produced credible scientific proof of the existence of unicorns.
Which is why the find produced today is causing such a stir. Over the years, many people have brought evidence to lay before the court: Bones, mutated calves, even horses with glued horns. But for perhaps the first time ever, fecal remains of an alleged unicorn have been produced, and local authorities are intrigued.
Carl frowned and pulled the page from the typewriter. He balled it up and tossed it towards the trash can. "You need more FACTS, Carl," he said, grabbing his hat and jacket and heading for the door.
