Yippee!

[NEWS BREAK]

As the malaise and ineffectualness of his existence grinds down on our author’s head, things seem to be even worse for his characters. There have been frequent sightings of a rabbit at the main Service Canada branch and reports of a violent beaver/security guard confrontation at the small satellite branch in the shadier part of town. No injuries were reported and the paperwork substantiating these sightings seems to have gone missing.

On the corner of Jasper Avenue and 124st a new, and very despondent drunk has started making a regular appearance. For the first few days he seemed to be drinking predominately French red wines of good vintage but last report has him adding rubbing alcohol to Pabst Blue Ribbon and accosting members of the pipe fitters guild.

A young duo has set up on Whyte Avenue busking by playing the tambourine to folksy country rhythms and ‘shaking it’ for all their worth. Every time the police have attempted to interfere they seem to vanish until the young man and woman pop up again a few meters down the street.

Most bizarre of all is the last minute entry into the civic election of a very loud and very opinionated candidate who insists that he narrate all events and brooks no interference from any of the media or organizers. At least three events have had to shut down after this strange character appeared due to the organizers inability to follow the set agendas.

Local citizen groups are starting to organize and it is very likely an intervention will be staged at the north side home of the author in the coming days.

Stay tuned for moreā€¦
