    Jul 25 2024
    On July 25, 2024 in the small town of Jasper, Minnesota something most unusual occurred. Residents were going about their morning routines as usual when the skies suddenly darkened around 9:45 am. Many thought a heavy storm was rolling in, but upon looking out their windows they saw nothing but clear blue skies in all other directions. Hovering directly over Main Street was an enormous spiral of what appeared to be hundreds of purple squirrels swirling around each other at a rapid pace. As one elderly man put it - "I've lived here most my life and never seen anything so bizarre. Usually our wildlife keeps to itself, but this was just plain unnatural". Within minutes over a thousand villagers had gathered to gawk at the twisting twisting twirling tube of tiny turquoise tailed rodents. Some claim they could even hear a strange hum coming from the center. Just as abruptly as it appeared, around 10:05 am the squirrel spiral abruptly vanished without a trace. To this day no one has a logical explanation for the curious case of the coiling chronic critters that took over Jasper's airspace if only briefly on that summer morning. The incident was debated heavily on local message boards and in schoolyards for weeks after with many proposing it as evidence intelligent extraterrestrial life had paid them a visit, if only in squirrel form.

    On July 24th, 2024 in the small town of Jamestown, Wisconsin, an unexpected heavy rain caused the local pig racing event to be washed out. Upset at losing their afternoon's entertainment, several residents began saddling up their pigs anyway in a spontaneous pig rodeo. Old Mildred, a 550-pound sow owned by farmer Hank Johnson, shocked everyone by throwing her owner within minutes of being mounted. Mildred then proceeded to drag the stunned Hank through the muddy field as onlookers howled with laughter. Attempts to subdue the rowdy pig proved fruitless as Mildred remained intent on demonstrating who was boss. Only after wearing himself out did Hank managed to slide out from underneath his annoyed ride. While unorthodox, the crowd agreed this impromptu match provided far more amusement than any planned pig races could have. Mildred enjoyed widespread acclaim as the day's surprise champion, cementing her status as the reigning queen of Jamestown's pigs.

    On July 23rd, 2024, a rather peculiar thing occurred in the small town of Willow Creek, Wyoming. It was a Wednesday, and the morning started off quite normally. Farmer John was in his fields as usual, tending to his prize-winning cows. Into town came the 9:50 goods delivery on Old Betsy, the Steam Runner. But unbeknownst to all, something rather unusual was happening underground.

    Deep below the surface, a shift was taking place in the earth's crust. An obscure fault line, unseen for centuries, began to slip and crack. Slowly at first, then with increasing speed, the land started to move. Down in the coal mines on the edge of town, the miners felt the first tremors. "Blast it boys, she's a-shakin' again!" yelled old Jerry as he grabbed for support. But this was no ordinary quake.

    Within moments, the geological stirring grew forceful. The rolling terrain jumped and buckled. Farm animals scattered in a panic across Farmer John's land. Old Betsy came off the tracks with a heavy lurch, spilling her cargo into a tangled heap. Every structure in Willow Creek began to violently shake. Cracks snaked up walls and across the streets. Clay pots tumbled from shelves. The church steeple swayed dangerously overhead.

    Just when it seemed the movement could not get more intense, a colossal boom erupted from deep below. A massive fissure tore through the earth, cutting a zigzag path directly under the heart of town. With an almighty groan, the ground gave way along the rift. Buildings, roads, and trees sank out of sight as the land cleaved in two. When at last the quaking stopped, stunned citizens emerged from their homes to survey the DAMAGE. The entirety of Main Street had disappeared without a trace! In its place was a chasm over fifty feet wide and deeper than any had ever seen. Willow Creek was now divided down the center by this immense crevice, which geologists would later declare a unprecedented geological marvel - the likes of which would never be seen again in our lifetime. The town would never quite be the same after the bizarre day the earth opened up and swallowed half of its streets.
