The Hole

“God help us, the hole was a mistake.”

We first used the hole after sickness swept through the village. “Into the hole” became a common refrain. A horrid pit of human mush. Soon we were using it for those who prayed on villagers: murderers, thieves, and degenerates. Initially we executed them before the hole, then the hole became the execution. 

Yesterday, young Hilde stood in the street, weeping. Her father went into the hole. I thought of my own dear boy and laid a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes looked beyond me. The villagers stared at us.

God help us, the hole was a mistake.

The Eating Contest

Good Evening, I’m Irene Ross with KABD-19 News. Three men were killed today, and several others wounded, during a macaron-eating contest in Ontario. The three deaths were all the result of some kind of small explosive hidden inside of macarons which caused massive, and lethal, head trauma to the victims. Authorities say that some of the injured were maimed by similar devices that did not fully detonate, while others, were casualties of the explosions without having ingested any of the substance themselves. Authorities are still investigating this ongoing case, and we will update as details become available.
