The Corktown Enquirer: Issue No. 1Where the curious go, and the intrigued linger.
Foreword: "Imagine a world where the presses are stopped. The flood of paper-laid information ceases and newspaper boys everywhere quiet their perpetually yelling voices. Word-of-mouth carries the newest story, the latest drama. He-said, she-said. Whispers echo throughout. I will ask you to forgive me for this rude interruption, in that case. The inaugural edition of this paper will do its best to cause a piercing-enough cry that avalanches will bring forth a new reality." -Acting Owner, Co-Owner, Editor-In-Chief, Chief Correspondent, and Head of Legal Counsel, Cecelia Briggs. Shots Startle the CountryAt approximately 16:51 local time on February 10th, the head of the up-and-coming organization formerly known as the 'No Coffee group' was gunned down, signalling the beginning of a very long day for representatives of various organizations and local law enforcement. The first casualty of many, the man who went by the nickname of 'Toothpick' was one of a handful of recent leaders who had taken up the mantle to reconstruct the Emerald City of Seattle, which had been devastated by war. Although Toothpick was the only crew leader to be slain, it would be wrong to say there were no other losses. To quote a local leader when asked about the recent events:
Here at the Corktown Enquirer, we absolutely wish peace upon the families and loved ones of those who fell over the weekend. In Wake of Shootings, The Tenacious PersevereIt was not very shocking to see another rogue situation over the weekend, but it was when I learned one of their accomplices was a colleague. I won't pretend we were close, but it always seems like it's the people you least expect it from. I suppose that is the point, though. As we grieve over our lost, we also must recognize what still is. To quote an influential New York City leader:
It is definitely a thankless job, Tiny_Tim. I couldn't have said it better myself. After re-occurring rogue events, one must always wonder: Will order or chaos triumph? More importantly, is it necessary to keep order at all costs? Finally, who really represents order in this situation? |

Love is in the AirOn a lighter topic as Valentine's Day approaches, take some time to acknowledge a person you are close with, whether that be a loved one, partner, crazy aunt, or even your crazy aunt's cat- noted the cat is likely not a person. Here is a quote to add some perspective:
I sure hope someone has revoked Cupid's flying license if he's going around blind. Everyone of us has their own idea of love, whether that be who you love, how you love, or how you'd like to be loved. All we can hope is that we find someone who understands our ways and manages to speak the same language as us. Enjoy your Valentine's Day. |
