| One
day along the shores of the Appomattox River a globule of
primodial
ooze crawled ashore, made this drawing (below) ,tacked it to a stump
and
withdrew once more into the abyss.Chesterfield County police feel it is
a cry for help of some kind and are maintaining surveilance in search
of
further clues, while others think it is a desparate attempt to be
recognized
by the Hopewell Art League. Ex-talkshow host Phil Donohue was called to
the scene to interview the only witness,a chipmunk,who remained
strangely
silent on any subject except nuts.It is hoped that his constant
jabbering
along these lines will lead to an explanation of these occurances which
have placed the community in a state of near panic if not outright
complacency.
Meanwhile,copycat occurances of a suspect nature have been occuring as
far west as Chester."It was like a big turtle eyeball thing that was
holding
a pencil" ,said Mr. Snead Hern ,a local retiree who restores AMC
Gremlins
for a hobby."It made these weird designs in my squash patch."
The designs have attracted a host of on lookers who hold vigil on the site waiting for another sign.Meanwhile artist-filmaker Keith Van Allen has been held for questioning as he was seen near the site on the night in question,and is accused of placing a bust of Stonewall Jackson in the swamp,an infraction of the Desecration of Southern Antiquities code of Virginia law.When asked, Van Allen said, "I don't feel this is a desecration at all,it is meerly an artistic expression and an excercise of my free speech.I think he looks good there,plus it's a well known fact that Gen.Jackson adored swamps". |
