Then, before long, Stiles and I finished writing up the notes; and then Stiles thanked me for my assistance, and then the 2 of us said farewell to each other, and then Stiles took off to go and deliver more newspapers to random people!…

  And so now I was able to head out and get back to hiking again, but then I had an idea…; and the idea that I had was to check out the newspaper that I had at my abode…

  I mean; it was interesting that Stiles had been paid to deliver newspapers to people’s abodes, and it would seem like there must’ve been some reason why the newspapers were being distributed…

  Now, of course, the whole thing could just be a bunch of trolling; but what if there was something that would be quite interesting that was inside of the free newspaper that I’d received?…

  And so then before long I was sitting on the couch and checking out what was inside of the newspaper, and the first article that I read had a headline that said, “Dreaded Doughnut Dropper Capture’s Local Author” and the article itself said, “An author by the name of Jasper has been captured by someone who identified himself as being The Dreaded Doughnut Dropper, and video footage showed the attacker laughing diabolically and rapidly throwing a bunch of doughnuts at Jasper until Jasper was completely covered in doughnuts. The attacker called Jasper a miscreant while throwing doughnuts, and once Jasper was fully covered in doughnuts the attacker then picked Jasper up and carried him away while claiming that Jasper was going to be rehabilitated…

  Jasper’s whereabouts are currently unknown; and the attacker seems to have been talking complete nonsense when he was calling Jasper a miscreant and saying that he was going to rehabilitate him, though it is theoretically possible that the attacker who captured Jasper is delusional and actually thinks that he’s some sort of vigilante who captures supposed miscreants and then rehabilitates them.

  This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

  If the attacker truly considers himself to be a vigilante though, Jasper is not someone who would make very much sense to capture; because Jasper has no criminal record, and many folks enjoy reading Jasper’s books.

  Either way though, this newspaper and all who write for it condemn all forms of villainy and also condemn all illegal vigilante behavior; and we hope that Jasper will be rescued as soon as possible.

  Note: If anyone has any information that they think might help the police find Jasper and/or the villainous man who identified himself as being the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper, then please contact the police and give that information to them immediately. Jasper should be home right now, and that villainous attacker who captured him must face a prosecution and a jury for his unacceptable villainous actions!…”

  “Hmmm…” I thought to myself after reading that disturbing article, “Perhaps these newspapers are being distributed by someone who wants for this Jasper person to be found and for that villainous attacker to be brought to justice…” and then I set the newspaper down; and then I decided to get back to hiking…; and so then before long I was hiking on a trail again; and as I hiked I kept on thinking about that unfortunate Jasper author, and I tried to think of anything that I might know that might help the police find him…; but I couldn’t think of anything that might help, although I supposed that perhaps the local baker might know something since he would regularly bake and sell so many doughnuts…; and so then I decided to change the direction that I was hiking in so that I’d be able to hike over to where the local baker was at, because I figured that it seemed like it was at least worth mentioning what had happened to Jasper to him just in case maybe the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper had been a customer of his or something like that…; and so I hiked and hiked and hiked, and then eventually I reached the local bakery; and then I opened the door and then I stepped into the bakery to ask the baker if he had ever heard of this Dreaded Doughnut Dropper villain that that newspaper article had made me aware of…
