The MR Gazette Closes Started by: Tommy_Vitale on Dec 21, '24 20:10

Tommy Vitale stares out the window, a light snow begins to dust the parked cars on the busy Woodward Ave. Tommy sighs and walks towards his desk and takes a seat.

He opens the desk drawer and withdrawls a bottle of Four Roses Whiskey. He pours himself a double, neat. Searching for a cigar and after unsuccessfully finding one, he pulls a cigarette from his case. Using a match to light it, he inhales the tobacco deeply before slowing exhaling. He snubs the cigarette out and he's trying to quit but will sneak a fag from time to time.

After long restless nights, Tommy has came to a decision, one hard but deemed necessary. The MR Gazette will be closing shop. Unfortunately Tommy's time and dedication is needed elsewhere, and rather than half ass a paper, and be inconsistent Tommy must lay his focus elsewhere, a road that will pay off Tommy hopes.

As he sits at his desk, Tommy knows one thing for sure, he will never give up writing. Maybe just maybe he'd write an article or two for one of these reputable papers. Tommy scrolls through his rolodex, the card stopping on the letter R. An idea in his head...

This makes me angry. Furious. Filled with rage.

I am livid. Upset. Enraged. Blood boiling.

Urge to stomp a raccoon rising.

 

Tommy you better keep writing that fucking newspaper or I will use my Ligambi contacts to turn your life into a living nightmare. The MR Gazette continues until the powers that be give you permission to stop.

This is your first and final warning.

But...but how will the news get out if there's no paper?!

Report Post Tip
There's other reputable papers, I plan to be a writer on one of those, as I enjoy writing and want to continue but can't keep up with paper with other stuff in the works.

A shame to see the Gazette close it's doors for sure, but I do understand that a lot of time is poured into making these happen.

That said, I am eager to see your writing continue as contribute to other papers. Long as you keep the fire to write burning hot, I'm sure none of us will be disappointed to see the fruits of your labors, wherever they may be.

It is always sad to see a wonderful news outlet close. The masses must be kept informed and be aware of what is happening in this world. I am a strong believer that having a couple of newspapers allows the news to be reported from different perspectives and be seen in different ways.

I wish you every success in your step down from Editor to Journalist. I am sure you will be a great success and I look forward to whatever else you have brewing.

I think someone should coordinate media and speeches

Just arriving, into a new city, not really knowing my way around, I thought I would do the next best thing, a newspaper. I came upon this building that said, MR Gazette...then had a big CLOSED, and shut down if you did not get the closed sign. Made me wonder if they did not sell enough papers, as that would surely shut down a newspaper business. I wondered who the editor of this establishment was. I decided I would inquire with my crew, as I am sure they would know all about this. I needed another idea, then, another newspaper, something.

I'd like to hope the MR Gazette was successful during it short tenure, I'd also like to believe many enjoyed the read. But haha who am I say, it was closed for other reasons, not popularity. I suggest reaching out to Rawley, as his paper is still in circulation.

Looking at Tommy, I say, I don't know that I have met that person yet, but can I say, I am sorry about the paper?  Do you have, by chance some back issues, that you kept? I don't want to trouble you of course, if you do not, it is fine, I just thought there may be some hidden somewhere (I say with a sight smirk).

Laughing to myself. Thinking to myself, what was that person's name again... I already forgot. That person, what was their name again, sorry, since I am new here, I really do not know anyone by their names yet. I do not mean to be a bother either, I just want to learn as much as I can, as I love to learn. And thank you again for the information.

As I see it it is the best way since the world around us seems totally dead all around us, not much is fun anymore in our living things around us.

Hope in a way im wrong since it often were pretty fun to read the Gazette.

People have from now 4y of suffering and make sure to stay safe all.
