Yoshi Feast At Koopa Lake?

New Summer Camp Cluck Opening Canceled As Law Enforcement Investigates Missing Persons

On Saturday the 14th, local police apprehended and out of towner and liberated a bus load of frightened children, all of whom had the same tale of terror to tell. The city Koopa claimed to be one of the many counselors who were meant to oversee the summer vacations of up to fifty kids. The story of why he ended up hijacking the bus those kids drove to camp in is too unbelievable even for print media!

The counselor Koopa shared what can only be described as a campfire story of a monster of the Lake, which has recently been renamed by new owners as Koopa Lake but long lived locals will remember was once christened as Lake Zola. Allegedly a Yoshi twice the size of any turtle devoured as many as ten adult men single handedly over the course of three hours or less! They also described the Yoshi as having an ebony palette and with transparent accentuation instead of the normal white coloring. The description was also matched by the brave children interviewed by local journalists who’s parents provided consent for the questioning.

Dinosaur experts could not be reached for comment on the validity of a Yoshi larger than any documented Yoshi on record, the only response our local paper received was a dismissal of “ridiculous!” when the question was posited. Law enforcement have also given no comment on any reports of the voracious Yoshi. Although they have provided an update that their current missing persons case investigating the disappearances at the aborted Camp Cluck are still “ongoing.”

The single escapee of Koopa Lake’s defunct Camp Cluck, who declined an interview and wishes to remain anonymous, was initially arrested on charges of grand theft auto, kidnapping, and indecent exposure. However after a preliminary investigation, and private conference with the parents of the children who were on the abducted bus, all charges were dropped. The former counselor is currently residing at a psychiatric institution that shall go undisclosed to protect the privacy of its patients.

Needless to say the events have shaken the local community and the parents of the disappointed children who will be missing out on summer camp this year.

“You think summer is finally a chance to get some time with the kids out of the house for a change,” said a local mother of one of the hopeful Camp Cluck attendees when asked about her thoughts. “But then they get traumatized on the darn bus ride over to the place, and they get sent back to us with stories from some degenerate giving them nightmares!”

The new owner of the camp, and thus the lake the camp encircled, is among the missing. The county municipal will escheat ownership of the Lake if contact cannot be established with the most recent owner or his next of kin within the next year.

	The Yoshi lounged back onto a pile of clacking koopa shells. She smiled and admired the newpaper article pinned to the walls. Rubbing her belly idly, feeling the soft chub rippling with life beneath her hand, she sighed and eased her head back to rest. Looking forward to her next feast.
