Tragedy struck at Huron High School on New Years Eve. While all students and staff were enjoying their long earned winter break, a pair of shady aliens hacked our network. They worked quickly, as if all our advanced security and passwords were only child's play. Gaining access in only a few moments, they proceeded to steal ALL of our club profiles.
"It was as if they could read our minds!" Our President Joe Smoe commented. "All of our hard work, all that visiting and writing GONE!"
Truth be told, our entire club has been struck hard by this incident. The atmosphere of eagerness has been replaced by an overall cynicism.
"I just don't want to write anymore," comments Jane Lang, our leading journalist, sadly, "It's just that, I feel like it's an uphill battle. We're working hard on this newspaper and then, all of a sudden, two aliens steal all of it. Who would have guessed?"
Attempts have been made to restir the optimistic spirit that had once dominated the atmosphere. But all was futile. Even the pizza party only made people cry over what had been lost that fateful day.
As for the aliens, they are still at large, wandering our planet, stealing important articles off of school newspapers. Only a few days ago, journalists of Maplewood High School, in Novi, were found crying hysterically in the middle of the parking lot.
"It's just that, nothing seems worth it anymore." A journalism fanatic mumbled. "Everything we've worked so hard for, the core of our existance, vanished...into outer space."
The administrators did their best to consol these heartbroken writers. "We tried our best...we really did. With all the stress of high school, this seemed to be the thing that pushed these students over the edge."
Speculations have been made as to why those aliens would want a bunch of student articles. After much controversy in the scientific and political communities, an English Proffessor, James Matthew Jeserm, from Harvard University finally came up with a logical answer.
"It is obvious," said Proffessor Jeserm "that these extraterrestrial beings are trying to corrupt the minds of our youth. See, our youth is our species' future. To corrupt them is to corrupt the world."
When asked how stealing news articles would corrupt anyone, he replied. "Have you noticed the overall forboding atmosphere in Michigan these days? People often underestimate the power of literature. But books, stories, news articles are the outlines of ones soul. Words are nothing without a speaker to say them and a person is isolated without words to communicate with others. To take away youth writing is to take away their voice and thus subject them to the tyranny of an unknown species."
The U.S. Government is planning to fund an extraterrestrial hunt to prevent this fate. Hopefully, these creatures will be found before further harm is done.
