The scene in the Town Square was somber. As word spread of last night’s attack, people were afraid. The deaths of so many people shook the town to its core. All of the brightly colored holiday lights were turned off, replaced by black mourning ribbons.

Slowly but surely, a group of citizens showed up. They consoled each other, realizing that they needed to lean on each other to get through this. After a while, the Mayor arrived. She met with as many citizens as she possibly could, trying to make them feel just a little bit more secure. Soon, the Mayor realized it was time to give one of her impassioned speeches. And so, she made her way to the stage.

She paused and took a breath. “Ladies and gentlemen!” she shouted. “Happy Holid-“ A single gunshot rang out, striking the mayor square in the middle of her face. The Mayor was dead before she hit the ground. As hysteria set in, a small group of citizens grabbed hold of the assailant, pinning him with his own weapon. As soon as he noticed this, the City Council Chairman rushed to the microphone, trying to calm the crowd.

“It’s safe!” he said. “It’s safe! We caught the bastard!” The hysterical citizens stopped in their tracks. They turned towards the stage, and saw that a hooded figure was restrained on the stage. The citizens started to cheer wildly, as the Chairman continued.

“Now, with this tragedy, I think that it’s only natural that we first declare today a new holiday. Today, from here on out, will be known as Holiday Remembrance Day!” The citizens all started to cheer. When it got quiet again, the Chairman was about to speak once more, before all of a sudden, the restrained assassin began to speak.

“Fools!” he bellowed. “Don’t you get it? You obsess over all of these celebrations and remembrances and ignorant holidays, and you’ve been blinded to reality! Your obsession will be the death of you all! We hereby declare Death to All Holidays!” All of a sudden, he shifted his body to the left, causing his shirt to open, revealing explosives. Before anyone could act, the explosives detonated, causing the stage, and a large amount of land around the stage to be completely obliterated.

As the few surviving citizens examined the carnage, they suddenly remembered the words of the assassin. Death to All Holidays? Who the hell would want that? They knew there were more out there who shared his beliefs, and so, despite them feeling those beliefs made no sense, they knew they’d need to figure out how to stop them.

Hey

##Lynch: Lurch

Am I doing this right?

A birthday isn't technically a holiday, right?
So Dylan, I still expect birthday presents.
I will give you an elephant-duck.

These guys are crazy. If we get rid of the holidays we'll never get a day off.
