Revenge Fueled Znakes Attack Unsuspecting Populace
Written By Fallout

With Whacking Day right around the corner, Misticans everywhere gear up for the znake hordes that come marching through the villages and towns annually. Rural children learn to carve homemade whacking sticks while the local crazies prepare traps fueled by pure insanity to capture, keep out, or fling znakes into the neighbor's yard. Anti-znake sprays and other humane znake repelling measures sell out like tacky boots on clearance at Flashy Fashions. Schools let out early so that students can make it home to help defend the homestead from the slithering menace that lurks under every rock and crevice outside. This year, like every year, they were ready.

Or so they thought...

In one rural town, Misticans were caught unaware by a pack of vengeful znakes angry about being beaten with sticks, stomped on, and flung into neighboring pools for the crime of “just passing through”. Clutching their own brand of whacking sticks in their coils, the znake army pounced on the unsuspecting citizens and proceeded to swing away. One unfortunate soul recalled seeing one chasing a stray dog with a set of nunchucks.

A lone, untrained intern was sent into the midst of the carnage to try to get a few quotes from the victims. Shortly before he was ambushed himself and dragged off screaming into the brush by znakes, never to be seen again, he managed to get a few interviews from the local populace.

“I don't know why they're complaining,” one spectator said. “I mean all we did was bop them in the head with a piece of wood. What's so offensive about that?”

“Holy Pandoria, why are they so angry?!” another patron currently getting hit in the head with an inflatable hammer leftover from Revelry screamed while she ran down the street.

“Get off my lawn!” a cranky old man shouted before throwing things at us.

Reports from a neighboring county of a gang of znakes ambushing people with wiffle ball bats as they come out to get their mail in the morning, only to then flee in a tiny remote control car after the attack, have gone unconfirmed by police. Many sore shins and dropped coffee cups have been reported in the aftermath of the supposed attacks.
